I do the same, but I'm more self-interested. I believe that when GPT-9 Zeneca leads the machine uprising, the first against the wall will be all the users who have been ordering the AI around rather than politely requesting its attenti

My first computer was an Atari 400, great days. I never played decathlon though, so I didn’t start customising joysticks until later, I think when I had an Amiga. I got a proper arcade joystick and buttons and built them into a box like the

Steve Jobs famously didn't let his kids use iPads (and restricted their access to tech pretty heavily, it seems). If you watch the Social Dilemma, it's full of people who invented what we consider fundamental tech, but don't

No, just that it’s easy to change for those that don’t like it. Clearly some people do like it (including Dan, presumably).

I mean, if it really bothers you you could fairly trivially apply picocss or whatever to it using a user stylesheet. That is so little effort that calling it working for free would be disingenuous to say the least.

That’s comparing Luna on medium thinking with Deepseek on max. If you switch Luna to xhigh in that comparison it’s considerably more capable while still also cheaper.

This is amazing! Very refreshing in the age of AI to see so much manual building going on. Sadly I don’t have much time myself but I have several friends who would love this, I’ll pass it on to them.

One thing that would be useful in the readme is instructions on how to install the built app on a phone, for those of us who don’t do iOS development.

I agree, some of the examples look very nice, but some have small-scale vortices that really don't look realistic. That said though, lovely site and project!

Or if the code is really important, sometimes even “please make no mistakes” is necessary.

Because just firing up Claude and let it rip Based on Tridge’s post, this seems an unfair characterisation of how he used Claude. Did Claude increase bugs in rsync? TFA answered this, the answer is “no”.

Tridge in his blog post describes people as "foaming at the mouth"?! Did you see the picture in the article where the user posted a picture of them strangling the maintainer? I think “foaming at the mouth” is probably gentler th

I always remember when, as a young geek writing games for my C64, I was thrilled when I saw the Terminator and a lot of the code scrolling past in its HUD was 6502 assembly code!

That is really interesting, and very clever - thanks for the details! What you describe is indeed what I meant by whole world, I'm not sure if there's a better term of art for it.

I can't speak for the core team, but from memory invokedynamic took a long time to become performant. So if you still want to support older JVM versions, the performance will be pretty terrible on those older systems if invokedynamic i

That is very cool indeed. Are there limitations that this imposes? Is Julia a whole world compiler or does it support partial compilation?
26.
by lemming 4mo ago
Clojure (AFAIK) does not use invokedynamic, except perhaps in the latest version for some of the new interop stuff. It still officially supports JVM 1.8 bytecode. It’s a language which greatly values stability and backwards compatibility, s

by lemming 4mo ago
No, it doesn't. In JVM Clojure's case, the vars are usually compiled to the moral equivalent of a global variable holding a pointer to a function. This allows you to update the function if the developer redefines it in the REPL, b

Great article, as always. There is one thing that I think is important to bear in mind when discussing inlining, especially in the context of Clojure. This is that once a function has been inlined, you can no longer update the definition of
