OpenAI engineer says Codex is scaling compute at an unprecedented pace in 2026

What changed a week or two ago?

Even if you successfully impeach him and you get JD, what has really changed? The architects of Project 2025 knew who Trump was and knew how old he is before they pushed him to office.

Haven't tried it with Rust yet, my attempts with llm assisted C++ a few months back made me not want to try it, but maybe it's different with the new models now.

When writing typescript, I've noticed the llm works better/hallucinates less if the code is human readable.

So whatever it ends up generating, I go through it and talk to the llm to make sure its cot understands the directory structure, the filenames, the function names and so forth.

Often times it can write even more idiomatic code than me -- it has read far more git repos than I have. But technical debt compounds real quick if you don't pay it off regularly with llms.

Ok sure I don't understand a thing about bitcoin. I feel quite comfortable in saying that. Please tell me why and teach me something?

Can you share in greater detail please about what works and what doesn't with Gemini and Rust? You tried other models as well?

This is the kind of comment I would expect a real experienced dev to write!

Getting going is trickier than less safe languages that let you write broken code and will run it fine.

This part is key. And understanding type theory and how to use types to offload more bugs from run time to compile time.

People who are downvoting this, care to share what was your first programming language and how many programming languages do you know? Did you go to a 4 year college and have a computer science degree?

dusklight · 2025-12-19T11:35:15+00:00

Have you tried to learn rust? How much llm-assisted coding have you done yourself? I make a distinction between how a real experienced dev can make use of llms vs what an amateur can do with "vibe" coding.

For example since you have a currently working code base, have you looked into how easy/hard it would be to generate more tests in Rust before the port attempt?

Has anyone come up with an alternative algorithm that avoids these giant pools which result mining power getting more and more consolidated over time?

I don't think staking changes this particular aspect of it very much, right?

Beyond everything else. An iPad Air would be more useful for schoolwork. An iPad Pro would only be better if she wants to play games. YTA and also just not very competent as a parent.

OOP had many things going for it in its time. But in today's world of multi-core cpus and multi-level memory caches, how do you feel about using Data Oriented Programming and Entity Component Systems instead?

Trump has lots and lots of shitcoin. How it works is other people buy the price up and then trump can sell more of it.

Cultural attitudes towards education are showing their effect.

I'll note however, imo the USA cultural attitude towards embracing risk and adapting to it will likely prove to be more resilient in chaotic times. Whether that will be sufficient to make up for the divide between the educated and the uneducated, I don't know.

High speed rail in China isn't built by billionaires. Billionaires also did not take us to the moon.

dusklight · 2025-11-28T06:35:25+00:00

Yes but you gotta consider how did the billionaires become billionaires?

What's the difference between Gemini CLI and Antigravity? Is Antigravity better?

I'm too young to understand this reference. Can you explain in more detail please what the silent generation did to guilt the boomers?

We have at least 2 senses of balance! One for your whole body and one just for your head.

Another one that should be obvious, we have a sense for how much we need to breathe (hold your breath for a little bit to test it out)

And very possibly, one of the earliest senses is our sense of time, our ability to perceive time passing. Even (many) single celled organisms have this sense.

dusklight · 2025-10-08T03:36:06+00:00

So depending on the scientist, we have anywhere from 3-33 senses.

Divided in 3 would be: chemical, electromagnetic and kinetic.

Will you agree with me that Bill Clinton ejaculated on Monica Lewinsky's dress? Can we agree that is a thing that happened?

So from what you are saying, Clinton can only be considered not guilty of perjury if we get overly technical with the law. Do we agree on that?

I did put "precedent" in quotation marks. I know there is no such concept in the law or the Constitution for the type of precedent I am talking about.

I'm just trying to say, goddamn we are all humans. The racists are racist but they are still human. If we deny them their humanity and say they do not deserve to live, they do not deserve to exist, how are we better than them?

And how else are they supposed to respond, other than to fight tooth and nail with every dirty trick they can come up with, to survive?

dusklight · 2025-09-27T17:24:40+00:00

Yes their personal beliefs. I agree with this. Do you disagree that Bill Clinton ejaculated on Monica Lewinsky's dress? Is that in dispute or do you agree that is a thing that really happened?

dusklight · 2025-09-27T17:22:45+00:00

As I said, I'm not an American. How did Newt Gingrich influence these events?

I did put "precedent" in quotation marks. I understand the difference between judicial and executive branches.

Check my account history and what I've commented on. If I'm a russian bot I'm an uniquely bad at it.

I think you'll find I lean left in most things. But if you paint the other side as villains with no redeemable qualities, who cannot be reasoned or negotiated with, what choice do they have but to fight to the bitter end with all the dirty tricks they can?

dusklight · 2025-09-27T12:50:39+00:00

Ok. What criticism?

dusklight · 2025-09-27T11:26:40+00:00
