yrds96··on Seedance 2.5
The bicycle was improved a lot when it was created but did changed a little since then too
yrds96··on Substack writers, you need a website
Fediverse. We need to push Fediverse
yrds96··on Htmx 4.0, the first JavaScript library to release exclusively on the Game Boy
I don't see a relation in this. You can both use LLMs and care about your codebase design. Frameworks and libraries are still relevant, and each one has its tradeoffs.
yrds96··on GigaToken: ~1000x faster Language model tokenization
This can make a huge difference for local models on modest hardware
yrds96··on Decoy Font
Which sufficient tooling calls even OCR can read this, but I think this can be improved
yrds96··on xAI is looking more like a datacentre REIT than a frontier lab
I think Elon Musk realized that only hardware vendors are profiting. Even if AI doesn't make it, datacenters can be used for something else
yrds96··on Zig by Example
This is outdated and AI generated.

If you want a good source of zig learning material interactive and by examples please check out ziglings: https://codeberg.org/ziglings

It's writen and tested by humans, which is essential for learning purposes. It's listed in the official zig website, by the way.

This project is always up to date to the latest zig release.

yrds96··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
I can't still conceive the fact that a tool that only send/receive text from an external API consumes an absurd amount of RAM
yrds96··on CAPTCHAs can still detect AI agents
- LLMs can't learn, therefore, LLMs are only good for things on which they are trained. - Captchas are not friendly with trial and error, so agentic solutions also don't help. - It's impractical to train LLMs on everything. - We humans are capable of creating infinite ways of captchas.

While each of these sentences is true, captchas will always win against LLMs.

yrds96··on An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
There are a missing the context: The vibecoded application was written in python while the main code was written manually in C by Torvalds in this side project. He never ever said that AI produces better code than him in the language where he is proficientI.
yrds96··on The vi family
The LLM usage are disclosed only for the projects where this information is relevant.

By the way there are a lot of farmers that doesn't need the power of tractors to make farming their livehood. Makes sense when you realize that not everything needs to be super fast and efficient, sometimes cheap, slow and constant is enough.

yrds96··on The vi family
In Portuguese "vi" means "saw" (past of see) and vim means "came", the last one being source of many inside jokes in one of my first jobs
yrds96··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
Also passing tests doesn't mean something works.

Claude code C compiler passed 100% of gcc tests and couldn't even run a hello world...

yrds96··on A desktop made for one
The fact where all posts of this blog make sure to state that claude code is a life changer, i wouldn't doubt about it
yrds96··on Anthropic Joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron
It's clear that the beef Artists vs AI is clearly about genAI and not about other kind of AI
yrds96··on Claude Pro: Opus model will only be available if extra usage is enabled
Basically the title.

Anthropic is doing changes on their help support pages on what looks like it will be the next pricing change regarding how users will use Opus models on Pro Plan.

yrds96··on GitHub is having issues now
I like the experience of exploring new repositories so I switched everything to codeberg which is where most of the projects I'm interested with are
yrds96··on Amateur armed with ChatGPT solves an Erdős problem
Yeah I was referring to the lack of comments on the website.

Thanks! That answer a lot and makes everything more interesting.

yrds96··on Amateur armed with ChatGPT solves an Erdős problem
Given by the fact that the problem is 60 year old, isn't there a chance this was indirect solved already and the model just crossed informations to figure out the problem?

By looking the website this problem was never discussed by humans. The last comments were about gpt discovering it. I was expecting older comments coming to a 60 year old problem.

Am I missing something?

Great discovery though, there might be problems like that same case that worth a try for a "gpt check"

yrds96··on Using coding assistance tools to revive projects you never were going to finish
It's not weird if it comes from ESL. At least in portuguese there's no "it" equivalent for pronouns or any other neutral artifact in the language, in other words, everything has a gender, even an AI model, the same goes for objects e.g.: knife(she), fork(he), spoon(she), plate(he).

People often commit mistakes regarding that, the same way we don't have "they" as pronoun to someone we don't know the gender, so we address to these people as "dele(dela)" (masculine and feminine pronouns).

But if this is coming from someone who has english as a primary language it's definetely weird to treat models as person

yrds96··on Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model
I wonder if this became a so well known "benchmark" that models already got trained for it.
yrds96··on Your codebase doesn't care how it got written
Not sure what to think about the first part, but what you said about writing style, I think it's still reasonable to judge developers/engineers by writing style:

- Writing style does reveal how people understand problems and their approach for solving them. People that prioritize direct solutions over complex abstractions are still valuable to catch over engineered code.

- People with "good taste" in code can catch when AI generated code takes shortcuts to accomplish a certain task, this happens every day and we can't ignore it.

The state of AI code can be way better by 6 months or 1 year, or even more (we don't really know), but we're not there yet, and we can't wait until there to hire new people without considering those points.

yrds96··on Great at gaming? US air traffic control wants you to apply
Which tools do we have capable of automating it? LLMs? Not a good idea to put a machine that hallucinate 10% of the time in charge of human lives
yrds96··on AI assistance when contributing to the Linux kernel
AI tools can do the entire job from finding the problem, implementing and testing it.

It's different from the regular single purpose static tools.

yrds96··on ChatGPT Pro now starts at $100/month
I don't think people paying for AI at this moment are concerned about moral or ethics.
yrds96··on System Card: Claude Mythos Preview [pdf]
I think there's no SOA advance on this one worthy of "freaking out".

Looks like they just built a way larger model, with the same quirks than Claude 4. Seems like a super expensive "Claude 4.7" model.

I have no doubts that Google and OpenAI already done that for internal (or even government) usage.

yrds96··on Arm AGI CPU
People ruined the word AGI before this to be fair, we will need another word to describe "real AGI" when it comes
yrds96··on Schedule tasks on the web
I'm using Opus on Claude Code and even on easy tasks, if you not review the changes properly, it creates tech debts. One of the most common issues is replicating the same logic with variables with different names (which makes grep harder to detect on future changes) in multiple places and lack of following project patterns. Even having a lot of .md files instructing to do the opposite. I still didn't find a workflow without human interaction that can be that efficient and reliable.
yrds96··on DoorDash Tasks
You should be concerned and not excited. This future might be near than we can imagine and we're just accelerating things without thinking about the consequences.
yrds96··on Get Shit Done: A meta-prompting, context engineering and spec-driven dev system
Let me guess. Yeat another bunch of md files trying to fix bad prompts from unskilled programmers?
