A major mistake I made in my undergrad is that I focused way too much on mathematical lens of computing – computability, decidability, asymptotic complexity etc. And too little on physical lens – energy/heat of state change, data locality, parallelism, computer architecture. The

DevOps Challenges: LLM Automation and Cross-Service Integration
By
–
so fun!! 😀 The biggest issue by far is the devops part. Services have to inter-operate and allow autonomy. I don't want to follow these instructions manually, I want my LLM to do everything. (And I don't want to run locally because I want to access on iPhone on the go.)

Building a Web App Through Vibe Coding: Modern Development Experience
By

I attended a vibe coding hackathon recently and used the chance to build a web app (with auth, payments, deploy, etc.). I tinker but I am not a web dev by background, so besides the app, I was very interested in what it's like to vibe code a full web app today. As such, I wrote

The Future GUI of LLM Interfaces Will Be Visual, Not Text-Based

By
–
Hey @timzaman can you rerun your bench maybe. Personally btw I think tic tac toe is secretly relatively hard. There are 8 lines to check. Each a medium tricky indexing op. And if you want to play, you have to roll it out a bit. Humans find it easy to play because they use their

LLMs Generate Viral Tweets and Naval-Style Content Effectively
By

I had the same thought this morning. I tried to ask an LLM to generate tweets that would go viral and it worked pretty well. Or in style of Naval and they all blew my mind in the usual way. Not sure what to make of that. The most valuable skill is not the one that will be

haha nice i love that it just rolls the default over. "coding" basically assume AI assistance as the default coding now, legacy coding becomes "handcoding".
