Microsoft is not financing it any more and laid off most of the team working on it.

But I want to continue to understand the code. I dont know Rust (maybe AI can teach me?) and if I let Claude rewrite my current 50k LOC project in Rust, how can I understand what is happening and how can I work on it and think it further?

Sad to read this. I had hoped that with the advance of AI capabilities, features like this could be prototyped, tested, implemented and shipped even faster. And I was really looking forward to see performance gains for my favourite language.

Where do we go from here? Microsoft did not continue to finance the Faster CPython project and the current speed gains are good, but not what we hoped.

you can be lightyears ahead of your reputation and still be shit.

It's easier to sell when you can say "think of the children! they need to be protected" and then later extend it.

Whenever I see another Stockfish update I dream of the day that I sit down and code my own chess bot that is good enough to beat me. I would be so happy if I manage to do that.

This may add fuel to the theory (?) that Trump is a russian asset.

You could use it as negative reinforcement to tell the next big AI model what it should not do

Somebody makes a lot of money and generates a lot of power with it.

Thanks!

Until now I thought it was boots-trapped. I am not a native speaker :)

Does this mean religion can be good for the third of the population that needs an imaginary character to be good?

The "minimum viable product" is part of the development process. If you are already at a certain quality and choose to make it worse, this is something else. Enshittification or just greed come to my mind.
