I mean Wordpress been around for decades, it’s solid, mature and everywhere. I’d even say way better than any vibe coded site

> Love to see the forever moving goalposts.

Do we have finally reliable autonomous driving? And available outside the bay area or whatever small place compared to the rest of the world?

hollowturtle··on Don't be fooled–LLMs don't reason
This comparison between fly and intelligence is worthy of the most vulgar bar talk

> it can't have superhuman reasoning

no they don't, we still die of cancer, there's no global deployed autonomous driving and food production driven by super intelligent ais and I'm not walking on mars thanks to gravitational elevators

hollowturtle··on Don't be fooled–LLMs don't reason
They do fly for sure, but they're not birds. This comparison between fly and intelligence is worthy of the most vulgar bar talk
hollowturtle··on Don't be fooled–LLMs don't reason
Birds don't fly by producing thrust out of their asses... what the heck that comparison does even mean?

I could do even better than you in 30 minutes and let it write code for a satellite if I wouldn't care about quality. But at this point I have the feeling I'm talking to a bot

Ehm no? Models have plateaued, "harnesses"(TM new buzzword) got better and with many integrations

> With AI, we have converged on a set of languages. For the web, it's JavaScript or TypeScript. For backend, it's Go and Rust.

what a disaster we have ahead of us not because AI but because this kind of thinking

You have a future as a fortune teller, good luck!

> the truth is writing code by hand is dead.

don't forget to take the proper pills dhh!

welcome to the unemployed future! first bug to bring down production and you're fired, will have a good memory that at least you were with your girlfriend

and start everything all over again? current c/c++ tools have been audited for years

hollowturtle··on Dots: Always-on agents
You exactly described a couple of scenario where we love to talk, it's in our nature. People don't want to talk in public with a robot, telling it to sell all tether, buy bitcoin and book a table for dinner with a lover
hollowturtle··on Dots: Always-on agents
They would have used the voice by now and yet we're still all here correcting errors made by the touch keyboard. And no no one sane would use the voice in public or in office thinking out loud. Especially for doing basic things like pushing a button
hollowturtle··on Dots: Always-on agents
That would be dumb and dangerous. That said local storage is used by all major frameworks/libraries for storing jwt tokens of the current session

You're not asking this seriously arent you? Local storage follows strict security policies, go read the spec

oh please current generations can't barely use a keyboard

hollowturtle··on Dots: Always-on agents
The end user of a product is a human and it will ever be. No matter how far you push it on the boundary, there will always be a human. So I don't understand this obsession with automated software factories going 24/7. And for building what? Can dot build or any super expensive model inside the most advanced harness build a reliable browser from scratch with better performance than chrome and with the same feature set? Hasn't happened yet, only crap experiments

Welcome to my world where "Show fewer shorts" on YouTube has been clicked I dunno anymore how many times, it's an habit now

> What gives you the impression an LLM made this? It doesn’t have any overt signs.

It's lazy, it doesn't look good on desktop too. The navbar screams justice. If it hasn't been made by an LLM it would still be a lazy human

hollowturtle··on Transformers Explained Visually
Bummer it doesn't work on mobile, we used to be mobile first now it's whatever the clanker spits out. Before you push back I must remind you that https://ciechanow.ski/ has very complex visualization perfectly accessible from the mobile phone

hollowturtle··on Microsoft agentically ports Copilot runtime to Rust for $120K
go is even more straightforward for llms imo. It's a dead simple language with a good garbage collector, where you can still do a lot memory management
hollowturtle··on Microsoft agentically ports Copilot runtime to Rust for $120K
> The original TypeScript implementation completed 7.55 of those lifecycles per second, while Rust running in-process managed 120 per second - representing a 15.9x speedup on that particular workload.

Does this impresses/surprises anyone? Two folds: 1) I believe the most optimized JavaScript code could near the performance of this phase 1 port without optimizations. I would have gone with that first, many would think that would not be as cost efficient but: 2) optimizing the rust code will require 10x the effort of the 1 by 1 conversion, just because you now need idiomatic rust code that likely has nothing to do with a plain translation. So defeating the initial gain, there's nothing to do the bottleneck gets just pushed elsewhere

hollowturtle··on Bend – a language that blocks AI mistakes via proof and runs on GPUs
Everyone uses AI - yes me too. Everyone to code? I dunno know and no one actually know for sure. I find it more productive in many ways, not much for producing code, if not for highly verbose structured output. And I'd be interested in a new language polished to solve specific problems differently even if it doesn't mention ai. We did engineering for decades in this way
