   Ocalm also has 63bit integers in case you want other implementations in the wild.

   Are there any Zed features you're going to miss? Is the AI notable?

   I started getting a little more into ELisp after reading The Land of Lisp, though its probably a bit basic. If I were to try to get better at ELisp through reading books/docs, I'd look into Common Lisp material.

   I'm excited for the user-lisp/ changes. It'll let me create custom lightweight packages and have them lazily loaded by just sprinkling ;;;###autoload over interactive commands and modes.

   Ok in theory, but I don't think it applies here. Maybe it does in a cultural way. Arrayref seems somewhat niche, but its kind of in the standard library as of Jan 2026 as std::slice::as_array https://doc.rust-lang.org/s

   This particular crate (arrayref) seems pretty niche, but also doable in std now. It lets you take a slice `&[T]` and return a slice with a known number of elements`&[T; N]`. tiny-skia was probably using this to get some SIMD optimiz

   Some benchmarks are out. Seems a bit weaker than Opus 4.8 but at least 10x cheaper once you account for verbosity. https://artificialanalysis.ai/?models=claude-opus-5%2Cclaude... Wonder how much more they'll squeeze o

    I'm creating an Emacs package out of the custom JJ stuff I had. I'll probably publish it to Melpa in a month or so. https://github.com/wmedrano/consult-jj

    I had to chuckle at this pro > Built-in Emacs editor The built in editor is a one of my least favorite parts of Emacs. I'm in it for the customizability.

    The hard to detect is the compilers technical reason for not doing the analysis. Maybe it will one day. In practice, it's annoying to track if those small util functions become dead code.

    Could be a good tradeoff for the flash model though. 3.5 -> 3.6 is a tiny bit cheaper and maybe faster? artificialanalysis.ai has it going from 165 tps -> 304 tps. openrouter.ai needs more data but it has it going from ~100 tps ->

    So.... What models have actually failed?

    Where does the less than a third the price come from? From the provided benchmark suite, it came slightly under half.

    I haven't notice any significant changes. My Linux experience gets more polished every year. Last serious issue I remember is a AMD GPU kernel crash around 2022(?). I feel like Android has always had its glitches. I can live with the c

    This is not surprising and perhaps one of the things I respect about it. Zig is pretty minimalist and I would prefer denying my pet features over becoming design by committee. I'm a bit curious, what features could you not do without?

    I think of Emacs as more of a lisp machine than text editor. I'm also not sure what an IDE has over Emacs. I have autocomplete, compiler checks, and run tests all within Emacs. For general automation, my blog is built with Emacs Lisp.

    If you don't pass an allocator param in Zig, then the function basically can't allocate.

    I thought parentheses were fairly intuitive. They are not for grouping, more like representing an AST. For other languages, similarly, x is not the same as x()

    I made a rusty version of this. No linked lists, but that's not important in the grand Scheme of things. https://wmedrano.dev/post/2025/11/15/lisp-1

    haha, I definitely wouldn't call my setup fast. But it did get a lot better after Native Compilation and a lot of the major stuff has started async to feel more responsive at least.

    No, but I use GLM5.1 instead of Claude/GPT.

    I just started Compiling with Continuations by Andrew W. Appel. I hope that by the end of the book I don't find out that CPS compiled code produces bad stack traces.

    Which specific models were you using? In March I switched to Opencode + Kimi K2.5 and found it was a step behind. I switched to GLM 5.1 and has felt like a step above. Its probably some combination of me forgetting the baseline, model impro

    I've been fine with Linux/KDE. Even the fractional scaling support is decent. Edit: Guess it depends on the app
