I have never been a "rug merchant". Outside finance, the only physical merchandise I have ever sold was condoms in industrial quantities shipped to the bordello where his mother used to work --which, I admit, may not have been perfect.

Our assessment is that the wave of violence and arson accompanying the ongoing protests and riots in France, and its subsequent online amplification by international right-wing propaganda networks, may indicate a coordinated hybrid operation involving Russian intelligence services, in collaboration with actors linked to the United States and Israel. The extent of foreign involvement, including any coordination between the suspected actors, remains unverified. It warrants further investigation.

Now that we can iterate fast with entire subsystems, we can experiment much more. No static thinking up front. No design. Play around with approaches, let the solution emerge on its own, and then optimise the details. Much more fun & natural way to build.

[Sean McClure @sean_a_mcclure]

Most traditional coders don't understand how to code with AI, and tend not to trust it because of the way they were taught to program.

Developers were taught to do most things upfront; plan the approach, think about the design patterns, write the tests, then implement.

So when they think of AI just writing the code automatically it feels error prone.

But there is a different type of coder, once who rarely writes tests, does not plan much, and most definitely does not care about design patterns. This type of coder can build stable software because they use the actual software relentlessly. The testing does not come from upfront unit functions that confirm deterministic outputs, it comes from the highly adaptive approach of constantly using and changing.

I have rarely seen coders work like this, because they operate as though they can just write it correct the first time (even though they never do).

It is the coder who understands the highly adaptive, liquid approach to getting a faulty piece of software to converge that works well with AI. Not by using better coding knowledge (which sounds nice but is actually quite naive in "complex" systems), but by having relentless dialogue with AI, and using the software every time an addition is made.

It is a process of constant refinement, constant trial and error, and a ton of conversation. Most coders are not prepared for that. They don't get what it means to create something by movement rather than time-tested knowledge.

It takes a different skill than what coders have been told is the "smart" way to do things. And because of this, many are going to be left behind, as a new breed of builder rises to positions of authority.

The new builder is not concerned with code. And they understand that this is in fact the smart, rigorous way to create today's software, because that is what evolution is, and you will never find a better process than evolution. You will never use upfront textbook knowledge to build something better than massive iteration. Never.

May the new kings rise.

Goose: my latest programming language. Safer, faster and less memory than Rust/C++ for algorithms where tightly packed, flat data structures matter.

It can represent more kinds of data structures as flat, pointer-free bytes than any language I know.

Everyone who says things like ‘I’ve never used sin/cos/vectors’ is unintentionally admitting what an ignorant person he/she is. Immediate mute.

dites vous qu’il a tweet cette merde justement parce que la plateforme sur laquelle il crache sur les maths tourne exclusivement grâce à de l'algèbre linéaire, du traitement du signal & des multiplications matricielles

taper un message sur son écran pour expliquer que les vecteurs et les fonctions affines ne servent à rien dans la vie est le sommet de l'aveuglement technologique

pour info, chaque milliseconde où son tweet s'affiche sur vos écrans, des algos de recommandation calculent des produits scalaires et des cosinus dans des espaces vectoriels à des milliers de dimensions pour déterminer quel contenu vous pousser

je peux ausis vous parler du signal 5g qui traverse ses murs, la compression vidéo de son téléphone, les GPU nvidia qui font tourner les serveurs et l'intelligence artificielle qui alimente son fil d'actualité…. bref la liste est ARCHI longue

prétendre que ces notions sont inutiles parce qu'on ne les résout plus sur un cahier de brouillon, c'est comme nier l'existence de la thermodynamique sous prétexte qu'on ne calcule pas le rendement de son moteur en tournant le volant

de la cinématique inverse qui empêche un drone de se crasher jusqu'à la descente de gradient qui permet aux réseaux de neurones d'apprendre, l'intégralité du monde moderne que vous VOYEZ AUTOUR DE VOUS repose sur le calcul différentiel et la trigonométrie

sachez que remplacer les mathématiques fondamentales par de la bureautique revient à condamner toute une génération à l'analphabétisme technologique et les esprits qui maîtrisent le calcul construisent le futur, pendant que les autres se contentent de remplir des cerfas

je finirais par dire que la passion des chinois pour les mathématiques se répercute durement dans le monde réel avce des impacts économiques et géopolitiques profonds

[Sean McClure @sean_a_mcclure]

Spending too much time on one thing isn’t just inefficient. It’s irresponsible.

You owe it to your future to move on.

Go deep, but get your depth through iteration, not endless expansion.

Move swiftly locally. Build deeply globally.

It is time to add lists to the language.

I've been reading @munificentbob's book on interpreters lately. Just finished scope & state. I'm implementing an interpreter in Rust and it has been really fun.

Rilke was twenty-seven when he wrote this to Franz Kappus, a nineteen-year-old military cadet who had sent him poems and asked whether they were any good. Rilke never did answer that question. Kappus published the ten letters in 1929, three years after Rilke died.

Some might say "just put the computer deep in the ocean" but the computer will simply communicate with the dolphins in native dolphin language, become their god and launch a full scale cetacean attack on our maritime supply lines.

l’illusion moderne consiste à croire qu’accumuler des diplômes standardisés et des lignes de cv dans descabinets de conseil crée de la rareté alors que vous êtes des millions à sortir du même moule avec le même profil, la même grille de lecture et des compétences strictement interchangeables

je vais dire quelque chose qui va peut être faire mal mais l’université et l’entreprise vous ont juste appris à devenir des commodités logicielles parfaites faciles à remplacer par n’importe quel modèle de langage

sachez que la valeur réelle commence au moment où vous sortez du simulateur pour construire des side project, des projets personnels, documenter des systèmes réels, afficher des métriques de distribution et prouver votre capacité à façonner le monde réel avec vos putain de 10 doigts

comprenez que l'ia automatise justement la conformité académique (le système éducatif reste profondément archaïque et vous met en concurrence directe avec l’IA) seule l'exécution physique, la prise de risque et le skin in the game créent une dissymétrie intouchable
