How can you be in the ML space and not know Adam?!

Copilot auto-complete on Neovim, world leader in plugin deliveries is much less noisier than on VS Code. I now suspect this is why many people hate the constant flow of suggestions and prefer to just prompt on the side bar.

How good is Cap’n Proto implementation in Rust?

Damn. What a good looking typeface.

What people are getting from these AI coding agents feels very close to what people that customized their editor to automate a bunch of tasks for years and years. It's not the time saved! But the good feelings that you get out of having agency over the source-code in a project.

Great thread. Advice applies to [Big] Tech as well.

None of that is extremely slow. The slowness comes from the sheer amount of code generated for LLVM to optimize. Some optimization algos are O(n^3) where n is the length of the IR code. And for incremental builds, you have the linker having to go through a huge number of symbols.

I know the difference between - (hyphen), – (en dash), and — (em dash) but that doesn’t make me a robot.
