This sounded in my head like Frank Black. Like, read it and then imagine Kim Deal jumping in on “moles in the yard”, “want to set traps”, “being abhorred”, etc.

Claude is the better writer, but Codex is better at finding holes in proofs, checking bounds, etc. You have to ratchet the effort on both models up to max, so get ready to blow through your weekly limit in a few hours.

IME, model choice matters a looooot when it comes to proofs. Gemini is worthless, Claude is ehhhhh, Codex is actually pretty sharp.

Yeah, college kids, why is nothing you’re doing ever the right thing to do? And why isn’t what you’re doing now exactly consistent with what you were doing *checks calendar* fuckin’ three years ago? Eh? EH? EHHHHHHHHHHH

Have you checked out David Wong’s old Disco project? It’s Noise+STROBE.

Yeah, hard to beat a duplex for protocol design, but the proofs for arbitrary duplex transcripts get really complicated really quickly.

The downside to Keyak is that the parallelism is a mode parameter, though. I’ve been playing around mapping the K12 approach to the AEAD space, and you can push ~5 GiB/sec with AVX-512 or NEON/FEAT_3 with basically no short-message penalty.

For performance optimization, it’s pretty neat to be able to just _try_ shit. Does this work better lowered to assembly? What’s the right buffer size for this? Should these be batched? Just implement and benchmark it.

Yeah, I mean, Ruby exists, so obviously folks can square that particular circle

No, pretty serious. So, like, I figured programmers would not take “code is cheap” and “code quality doesn’t matter” well -- that directly undermines the craft we’ve all spent time on. But I didn’t anticipate the non-deterministic nature of LLMs to provoke such a strong reaction.

I had really underestimated the degree to which non-determinism in particular presents a value threat to programmers

I’ve noticed that local opposition to data centers doesn’t much align with being in favor of water conservation or green energy or any of the other things you’d imagine would correlate.

I can’t believe the Democrats gave Hasan Piker plenary control over the country’s nuclear arsenal. Seems like a misstep so close to the midterms

Oh, for sure, and the main thing the news *does* cover is Sam Altman saying we need to pave the moon otherwise humanity is over or whatever

I’m not going to pretend that data centers are zero-impact, but all of the local opposition I’m seeing is a reflexive opposition, as if data centers are uniquely and exclusively impactful. Lots of myth-making, and it’s a bummer to see that vs. principled defense of environmental protections.

This is a very weird way to summarize an article describing how supply chain constraints are delaying data center projects.

It’s weird reading news articles about US aircraft getting shot down over Iran that describe it as a “new escalation” or whatever. Like, as if air defense is retaliatory.
