Dependency injection provides the same hermetic-testing capability, so that's not really an answer to OP's question. Effect-as-world-model is, in this specific way, just a special argument slot that only accepts dependency-injec

You're failing to distinguish between token count spent and context window used. You're correct that the former is not a concern for Anthropic, but it's also not the problem I'm pointing out. The actual is not token coun

Not just effects, multi-shot effects: > Algebraic effects with deep, multi-shot handlers. A handler can resume a computation zero, one, or many times, which is what makes exhaustive search and exact inference ordinary library code. I lov

Looking at the official description of a Forward Deployed Engineer I'm uncertain what even the nominal difference between this and a Solutions Architect is. Is the nominal difference between an archetypal FDE and an archetypal SA great

Depends on what you mean by better. I chose Porkbun because it's a small company with good prices, a good vibe, and all the tools that I need. Cloudflare was never going to be on the table because I don't want to feed the beast th

I'd honestly be careful with squarespace. They are owned by private equity, advertise on countless YouTube channels, and at the same time their core market is under a looming threat from the AI companies. You need your domain registrar

Their prices had already been going up for a few years before that, which finally pushed me off them starting around August of last year. I'm about to swap my final few domains over this month before they renew. Porkbun has been great

The weird twist here is that I've found that there are times where Fable is actually worse than Opus at a straightforward task, not just more expensive. It'll launch off into its own little world for an extended thinking, then sta

This piece focuses on the cost differences from the tokenizer, which do matter, but I wish they emphasized more that even adding the tokenizer to your calculation doesn't provide you with a good way to calculate cost for agentic coding

by lolinder 2mo ago
Because what they did say is true for both agents and humans. Which makes it a more compelling argument than just emphasizing the specific aspect of that limitation agentic workflows. In one comment you are presuming that agents can just ig

You realize that what you're describing is inherent complexity in memory management? This is not something that you can dodge by using Zig, it's just part of the domain. The difference is that in Rust you get strong guarantees for

That's only the correct abstraction if you intended to hold off on releasing the rewrite until you were completely finished, because there's no universe where Bun of all projects releases a production version that uses clone and c

The example shows three extra lines of code, two of which are `defer`s. I'm not an expert in Zig and can't tell you whether the example they give is contrived, but the claim they're making is way more than "a wrapper typ

by lolinder 2mo ago
Because if you have to quadruple the number of tokens in your code base in order to make the Zig provably safe, you have 1/4 of the context window to do useful work.

No one's obliged to respond to hearsay by trying to guess what the other party might have misheard to arrive at a false conclusion. It's enough to demonstrate that the conclusion they came to was false, and if the other party woul

If that's what he meant that doesn't speak well for his communication in this post, because "the Bun team told us that they were not fuzzing anything" is a wildly different claim than "the Bun team told us they were

The very next sentence justifies why they didn't do it: it argues that they would have ended up with what was technically Zig but something that was much less ergonomic than what would be expected from Zig. You can argue that that&#x27

If the end state were unsafe Rust, you'd be right, but that's explicitly not the intended end state. Unsafe Rust was the reachable first step . Now they have a Rust version and can iteratively remove `unsafe`, which they couldn&#

> making sure the JIT doesn't emit anything broken or naughty is completely outside the scope of Rust. It's also outside the scope of the project if they're using Webkit's engine for that part. Which means Bun itself

No one involved in the port proposed "blindly porting Zig code 1:1 and calling it a day". From the first blog post the creator said: > We can gradually refactor it to reduce unsafe usage and look more like idiomatic Rust after

The discrete number of cows being born is theoretically fine-grained enough to actually respond to 2–3 vegans yielding one fewer cow. It's unlikely on a one-year time scale, but one cow only goes so far. Even a thousand AI objectors ar

Yes, that too. It was in newspapers hours before the attack, so there's no way Iran didn't know it was coming.

Possibly. It could also be evidence that the bombs didn't really do their job. Either they missed or the bunkers were fortified enough and/or deep enough to avoid even the bunker busters.

Coordinating a botnet to launch a DDoS is commodity software at this point. You could argue that the engineering that went into the coordination software is good, which may or may not be true, but simply launching a botnet is well within th

Not necessarily. It could be one for loop running on tens of thousands of compromised IoT devices, with the only thing distributed being the command that starts the loops.

Right. So why does the fact that they targeted 34,500 ports show it was a well-engineered attack? By itself it's just evidence that they know how to iterate over ports. Coupled with the data size (7.3Tbps) we know they had an enormous
