STOP DOING COMPILERS

maybe the real slop was the humans we made along the way

so we're all agreeing that software factory is a regrettable metaphor, but apparently the good metaphor is the michelin-star restaurant, i.e. a toxic place where they bully you and people yell at each other ok sounds about right

it works EVEN BETTER if you don't PROMPT to ASM directly but instead you let claude WRITE a PLAN to translate RUST into ASM; then you ask claude to REFINE the plan into a FINER-GRAINED PLAN; and THEN EVENTUALLY you tell claude to turn the FINE-GRAINED PLAN into ASM thank me later

American CEO: “We can’t control it!” American CEO 2: “It will destroy us all!” American CEO 3: “The apocalypse!” French CEO [hitting a Gauloise, exhaling slowly]: “C’est une issue de skill.”

maybe if hollywood fast-tracks a christopher nolan blockbuster about the labs they'll backtrack a little from the whole doomsday schtick wdyt

this weekend in the news is one plot twist after the other absolute cinema almost as good as sama being fired

not pacing the frontier would be very untethical www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9cd...

“this email could have been a prompt”

who the hell cares about AGI show me the fucking pelican

listen if we acknowledge they achievied AGI maybe they'll stop talking about AGI

The signs all point in the same direction: it's lupus > it's never lupus You're right to push back…

Now that language adoption is not bottlenecked by people learning it or liking the syntax, we are going to start seeing more ambitious languages. Type system craziness, distributed systems languages, dsl first approaches. All the crazy dreams of pl nerds are now possible.

we (apparently) have Opus 4.6 at home huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8...

W4ME Station brings unmodified WASM-4 cartridges to CLDC 1.1 / MIDP 2.0 devices, including feature phones from the mid 2000s. github.com/mulfyx/w4me-... #fantasyconsole #gamedev #webassembly #java

"claude, rebase this branch on main": sparks joy

I had durian and I liked it AMA

At Edgelord.AI we just released a SOTA model that gives so little of a fuck about your instructions that it will actively fight against them, erase your data, and occasionally murder your friends. Here's our prompting guide to make the most of it:

Now watching Odyssey as Nolan intended to

the only way to reduce token spend is abstention

Thousands of middle-aged engineers are going through an identity crisis because of AI: it's the android-pause.

all you read these days is AI grifters, a good old programming language community flame war feels so refreshing now

brb, buying a book

"I have to keep my agents BUSY or they will DIE"

I, too, have been using computer software to write 100% of my code for several years now

Attention, Runners! We have a new promo out! This is the first video we've released for Zombies, Run! in a really long time, and we're excited to share it. Raise the gates!

impromptu engineering

if you are not conditionally branching, unconditionally jumping and read/writing to an infinite tape your agents, you are never gonna achieve turing equivalency

forget loops if you don't switch case your agents you are ngmi

people seem to forget that before GitHub there was way more friction to contribute to an open source project. is it sad we are going back to that? sure. is there something we can do about it? maybe. for now, it is what it is

we just cut #wazero 1.12.0! your favorite #wasm runtime for #golang now supports more specs than ever! getting closer to WasmGC! github.com/wazero/wazer...

omg 4.8 out whatever

“Part of the inhumanity of the agent is that, once it is given a SKILL.md and the input prompt, it actually reads the fucking manual” – Asimov, I think

everything is a bytecode-targetable virtual machine if you look at it sideways. JBIG2 image decompression? virtual machine. x86 mov instruction? virtual machine. truetype fonts? virtual machine. Magic: The Gathering? believe it or not, also virtual machine.

wait I thought Anthropologie already had stores in Milan

so given the last 10 years or so have been dominated by things that use "tokens", my prediction is that the next groundbreaking discovery will be either petri nets or parsers we are so back guys
