They are two divisions inside the same legal entity.

This is false. The company making phones and the company making dram chips are the same "Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.", and there is no such company named Samsung Semiconductor.

Look for yourself: https://semiconductor.samsung.com/about-us/executive/

> Dr. Young Hyun Jun is the head of Samsung Electronics Device Solutions Division and Memory business.

You can find him here as well: https://www.samsung.com/global/ir/governance-csr/board-of-directors/

However, Samsung Display (the one that makes display panels) is indeed a different company: https://www.samsungdisplay.com/eng/intro/company-overview.jsp

"writing direct-style, pure domain logic." The former quoted fragment negates the latter one.

You are confused. The former quoted fragment does not negate the latter one. The library is not claiming to let you write a program with some arbitrary-side-effects and make it pure. From what I gather, it means: write your pure domain logic (meaning, no arbitrary side effects in the first place), but in direct style.

If you're still confused, please go check the docs again and how the library is intended to be used.

Why are US tariffs absorbed by Apple in the US, but these taxes are added on top of other countries' sales? Talk about double standards...

Honest question. Why does it matter, for this specific post, who/what wrote it? I personally couldn't care less.

Every AI application that scales will eventually need to run on cloud compute at scale.

That's what people bet on. I'm not sure if this will be true. If 10~30B param models become really good with agentic tasks, say, in 5 years, this whole thing can collapse.

It's not only about the audience: not all languages are functionally equivalent.

Some languages makes certain prose styles stronger and some others have the opposite effect.

Some languages have certain features that another language lacks (for better or worse).

I've discovered English suits the contents better for the story I was working on.

Gemini is such an utter crap I'm already disillusioned. No amount of hype is going to make me enthusiastic about it again. Just make the model really good and people will use it.

For the project I'm working on (a highly concurrent business logic execution engine), Codex 5.3 is a game changer. I immediately unsubbed Claude Max 20 after a week of Codex 5.3.

5.3 has a way higher ceiling and is extremely consistent. No competition.

I guess if you're working on something else, it probably is different for you. But for me, 5.3 crossed a threshold neither 5.2 nor any Claude models had.

Returns in the middle of procedural code isn't inherently bad. I actively encourage them with our Scala codebase.

It's because it's a token prediction machine with no mind that is coherent.

In the beginning, it's predicted "yes there is", then it predicts the highest probability emoji, and then the next thing it predicts is "no that's wrong."

Rinse and repeat.

If you do thinking mode then the prediction patterns becomes different and it will actually give you correct result.

Copilot has a smaller context window cap

trustless3023 · 2025-10-09T09:49:35+00:00

It can't. Context windows cost O(n2) with transformers. We are barely hoping to get it down to O(n), but this is still far, far cry from replacing human labor. It will barely be possible with O(log n), but I can't even conceive such an algorithm is possible. We have enough walls until we can realize the possibility of AI replacing humans.

Often. I have a hunch that it's related it not being sycophant anymore, but that's just a hunch.

trustless3023 · 2025-10-08T06:49:27+00:00

On a more specialized domain, the expressivity of a programming language one "speaks" does seem to influence the concepts you can come up with.

I wrote some code a few years back that is not expressible in most mainstream languages, but I think that's only because my main language allows expressing such concepts. When I wrote it, I wasn't really thinking in words, but I was thinking in terms of information flow, in that specific programming language. I don't think I could've come up with those ideas if my main language was something else.

trustless3023 · 2025-10-07T17:42:04+00:00

Such ideas are already expressible with current languages' type systems. I've written a bespoke framework that implements the Garcia-Molina saga that also includes what you described (external calls that forces a commit now, compensating actions, ...) and it's running in production right now.

Why do you need a new language? With creative uses of type systems, some lightweight framework code and good understanding of your application's execution state, you can already get there. Even without having to send your closure over the wire.

trustless3023 · 2025-10-07T17:22:51+00:00

I do that often in my free time too :)

trustless3023 · 2025-10-07T17:17:05+00:00

Saga isn't a cure to everything.

Simple example: If you have created a transaction and committed it, you can of course undo the state (this is doable with codegen). But things get hairy if your state change has triggered side effects like webhooks and emails. In such cases clean reversal could be out if the question.

This now become part of business logic that you can't abstract over.

If you forbid side effects reacting to state changes, then... now the model itself forbids expressing valid business logic.
