It's worth remembering that this is all happening because of video games ! It is highly unlikely that the hardware which makes LLMs possible would have been developed otherwise. Isn't that amazing ? Just like internet grew because

One thing that could happen is that someone might decide to vibe code a Discord clone, without all the extra crap. I'm sure there are people out there doing this already. There's this interesting arc of growth for apps which are s

There's some irony in the fact that LLMs are in large part possible because of open source software. From the tools which were used to design and develop the models (programming languages, libraries) to the operating systems running th

Not really. This db allows traversing the (deeply nested) data structures without loading them into memory. Eg. In Clojure you can do ``` (get-in db [:people "john" :address :city]) ``` Where `:people` is a key in a huge (larger

I share the vision of the author. People use software for specific features, but most software have lots of features people never use or need. A lot of modern software is designed to handle lots of users, so they need to be scalable, deploy

In the dial-up era, the industry was young, there were no established players, it was all a big green field. The situation is far from similar now. Now there's an app for everything and you must use all of them to function, which is bo

I'm very skeptical about such a future. The 'world' is already high tech. We're already drowning in products and entertainment. At the same time, a million people talk to chatgpt about suicide each week, there's an

Easy. You're 3x more productive for a while and then you burn yourself out. Or lose control of the codebase, which you no longer understand after weeks of vibing (since we can only think and accumulate knowledge at 1x). Sometimes the e

It's not a war. The population (especially the youth) is anesthetized by social media, shorts, fear-inducing news, economic hopelessness, climate extremes.. In the meantime, everything is getting integrated - banks, tax systems, tech p

Doesn't Clojure already support all of those features ? Eg. > transducer-first design, laziness either eliminated or opt-in You can write your code using transducers or opt-in for laziness in Clojure now. So it's a matter of ch

"But that server is faulty!! If it has to handle multiple requests at once, it starts to break down." Ok. I know this is all hypothetical. But I don't buy this premise. Why is the server faulty ? In what way does it fail ? Ho

It's interesting how people always try to find some kind of number to race against. Here's a simple theoretical situation. A brilliant mathematician with very high IQ crashes in the jungle, but is unhurt. Not far from the crash s

I find the opposite to be true. I am a lot more productive, so I work on more things in parallel, which makes me extremely tired by the end of the day, as if my brain worked at 100% capacity..

You learn by doing.. eg typing the code. It's not just knowledge, it's the intuition you develop when you write code yourself. Just like physical exercise. Or playing an instrument. It's not enough to know the theory, practic

Soon more people will realize that they might not need software written by others at all. You chat with an AI and have a working app in minutes. I've been building about 1 app per week lately and they're not trivial apps. They hav

If you like the language, don't let that stop you. Install leiningen and run: `lein new app my-stuff`. Then type `lein repl` and you should have a repl running. Alternatively, open the project in IntelliJ with Cursive installed or VSCo

I think this is version 1 of what's going to become the new 'PC'. Future versions will get more capable and smaller, portable. Can be used to train new types models (not just LLMs). I assume the GPU can do 3D graphics. Severa

The article complains that async/await 'infects' all the code that touches it and forces the callers to use async/await too. But isn't the same true with go channels ? If you want to asynchronously interact with a c
