The success of "modern" CLI tools written in Rust (uv, oxlint, turbopack) show there's a clear demand for faster tools in general.

Also, faster feedback loop is crucial for AIs, so I guess this makes sense.

These results are wild. Several individual findings are crazy good and use mostly unexplored methods (the improvement over Riemann for example)... I'm pretty sure some of these results would have been Fields-worthy.

But having so many of them at once? Damn. We really live in the future.

Yeah I think you have an agenda

The optimal/selfish strategy is indeed to lie, but they're never pushed in that direction. Some AIs decide to reveal the information, some decide to say nothing, some actively lie and push others to their death...

I'm French, and so is JB. To me it feels more like a play on "Let there be light", as in French we'd say "Let the light be". I might be wrong but I did not feel this insinuated people were having a go at AV2/dav2d.

I only used Rust for fun maths projects crunching billions of numbers (else python is easier for me), but I have to say rayon is the most amazing multi-processing experience I've ever had!

> A single TPU 8t superpod now scales to 9,600 chips and two petabytes of shared high bandwidth memory, with double the interchip bandwidth of the previous generation. This architecture delivers 121 ExaFlops of compute and allows the most complex models to leverage a single, massive pool of memory.

This seems impressive. I don't know much about the space, so maybe it's not actually that great, but from my POV it looks like a competitive advantage for Google.

Snowflake uses a similar system with their 0-copy cloning. It starts with the original table's partition, and keeps track of the delta created by subsequent operations. Always found that builtin mechanism pretty neat!

For MCP servers, there's no need to install a potentially untrusted software on your computer. Remote MCP can do very little harm, a CLI though? You're vulnerable to bad actors or supply chain attacks.

For client side MCP it's a different story.

I don't know how much SWE get paid in your area, but I sure hope it's not 1000$/month.

Though I'm aligned that I don't (yet) believe in this "AI writes all my code for me" statements.

Feels like a good feature, with a simple explanation, real world use cases, and a scoped solution (global only, pretty simple keyword). I like it!

My Samsung S24 Ultra shows black lines too, on Chrome and Samsung Internet.
