The average cause of unsoundness in a C++ program is not a C++ compiler bug

Doesn't the ELF loader do that?

if Ford bought hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Hyundais, put extra instrumentation in them, and resold them at a discount to customers who agreed to the instrumentation in exchange for the discount, is Ford doing industrial espionage?

assuming the k3 model weights do indeed get published, if your model of the world is "achieving RSI is beneficial and K3 has done so," this feels structurally different from ordinary industrial espionage, because the knowledge has enriched the commons

more like silk than capacitors

if, again, your model is that RSI will be beneficial, why wouldn't making it available to all unlock more benefit globally than not doing that

my first prompt to any Kimi model was K3 via Pi, some version of "hi kimi!!" and the response was telling me "I'm actually Claude."

this is not hard to repro, just use a system prompt that doesn't mention the model name.

that said, if they bootstrapped with opus 4.6 convo sft data they had sitting around... so what?

the point of c++ when you need max perf is to be able to maintain the compile-time abstractions you need w/ templates instead of macros and undocumented optimizer behavior, not oop or raii

I take (prescribed) amphetamines and use LLMs, and I think "I wrote this while on amphetamines" will leave you with way better understanding of the code than "I vibecoded this?" Like, to an absurd degree?

Vibecoding $x gives you pretty much the understanding of "someone else did $x," which seems unsurprising to me. There's a lot of usecases for code where "someone else did $x" is a perfectly fine way to accomplish $x! There are also many cases where "someone else did $x" is not a substitute for "I did $x."

"I want a tmux theme that fits with my existing zsh and neovim themes." Is it useful to me to learn how tmux themes work? Eh, marginally maybe? I'm personally kinda hoping I'm not using tmux in 10 years, so probably not.

"I'm writing code for work, where a bad correctness bug would be very expensive." If I'm pulling in someone else's code, I /better/ be auditing that code.

Like, this seems like the obvious framing and a useful heuristic? Maybe the problem is the subject of "vibecoded" is usually "I vibecoded this with Claude," not "Claude vibecoded this with me?" IDK

not sure that works as well when they don't own their API though; how much software is openrouter-only in a way that's not 5min of deepseek to patch the source for, or 15min of opus to patch the binary instead

the compiler can still interleave anything it shows is side-effect free; it’s hard to show that something would benefit from being reordered without analyzing it well enough to determine what side effects it has

I can't tell if you're hyperbolizing the idea of community, or describing schooling.
