10 years ago, I thought "programming is too hard, I'll make tools to make it easier" 5 years ago, I thought "I'll make a new language to make it easier" now I'm working on tools to make "making new languages" easier 😂

I built a procedural medieval island map generator using Wave Function Collapse on hex grids. 4,100 cells, 900 possible states per cell, 60fps on mobile. Wrote up the whole process with lessons learned. Links below 👇 #threejs #webgpu

@paolino I mean between python and python/mypy there's probably many orders of magnitude difference in training data quantity, same with ruby vs ruby/steep. obvs c/java are not going to win any ease of use contests

@jaredforsyth That would make Java and C the easiest to write!

Types don't help AI, they actually hinder it. Proof: look at Ruby with Steep - a Ruby type checker - and without! Or Python vs Python with mypy. Token efficiency and expressiveness is way more important for AI generated code. That's why Ruby was the best language in this test!

@Phase2Deport 57% is overwhelming? By that metric we should also say that "People overwhelmingly want ICE operations to be decreased"

“Divide” is generous. Mass deportations are overwhelmingly popular.

sneak peak at my llm first programming language

@matthen2 @KyleRayKelley's probably the one to ask about that. x.com/KyleRayKelley/…

Is anyone using notebooks alongside claude code in a way that works well? I want both me and claude to be able to run cells, view outputs, not keep saving and reloading, and not overwrite each other's work. feels like notebooks have kinda died since agentic coding took off

we're entering the age of cheap software and it's *so weird*

@dillon_mulroy the file system is a dungeon, and you are descending

cd ..

@kentcdodds @threepointone @sentry @resend @EpicWeb_dev had that song on repeat for a week after the release

What's up, danger?

@rikarends yeah zed doesn't do agent history for "external agents" 😭 I asked a couple of weeks ago and they said "working on it"

Just trying out zed for Claude, but when i do 'new claude ' thing the old chat just dissapears entirely, gone. poof. Where do these things go, i would like to be able to read them?

@evacchi brb going to vibe a car codew

@HSRdirector @michigandaily How fitting for the noun used to be "individual". the classic isolated individual without ties or obligations.

very disappointing piece in the @michigandaily “Is it fair to expect an individual to house, feed & care for someone their elder? This is no sweet newborn baby; it is a grown person with complete loss of bodily functions & impaired cognitive awareness.” michigandaily.com/opinion/op-eds…

this is probably doing the rounds already but my god, it's so cursed tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-ico…

You can enroll in my animation course for the next 10 days! It's the perfect way to learn the theory behind great animations, but also how to build them in code. Now with a skill file for agents. We'll cover all of these components and more, source code included.

I guess I'm 🤖 writing a type checker for @gleamlang? in gleam ✨ because we need more educational examples of real-world type checkers! I'm calling it "gloat" 🐐 github.com/jaredly/gloat

@Nunya97703 @Faustzme @StephenBea55934 @mholt6 @latterdaylaura congrats, you passed the turing test :) I wish you grace and peace

@jaredforsyth @Faustzme @StephenBea55934 @mholt6 @latterdaylaura Joseph smith was a prophet—dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may only technically be 200 years old But THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST is eternal. We go back to before this world was created This isn’t some church. This is THE church

@Faustzme @Nunya97703 @StephenBea55934 @mholt6 @latterdaylaura I think it would help me understand better if it were presented as a poem

The response was regarding the core of doctrine that unifies all Christianity. The claims made rely entirely on scripture and yes, of course much of the biblical doctrine of God are expressed within the creeds or the Christian confessions such as the Westminster Confession of Faith to stand as a bulwark against the false doctrine and philosophy of men. You might not believe in the trinity but read the verses below and explain without creating contradictions. 1) Explain how the Father is different from the Son but there is only one God and each is God? There is only one God. The Bible repeatedly emphasizes this fact continually correcting the Israelites beliefs and bringing them back to the fact there is only one God. Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.” Isaiah 45:5 “I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides me there is no God.” 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 “There is no God but one… yet for us there is one God, the Father… and one Lord, Jesus Christ.” Although the Bible is clear there is only one God, it is equally clear the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each God. The Father is God - John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2. The Son (Jesus) is God - John 1:1, 14 (“the Word was God… and became flesh”); John 20:28 (Thomas: “My Lord and my God!”); Colossians 2:9 (“In him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily”); Hebrews 1:8 (God the Father calls the Son “God”); Romans 9:5; 1 John 5:20. •l The Holy Spirit is God - Acts 5:3-4 (lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God); 1 Corinthians 3:16 (the Spirit dwells in believers as God’s temple); Psalm 139:7-10 (the Spirit is omnipresent, an attribute of God). We have seen and agree that the Father and Son are different. We know see that there is only one God and that the Father, Son, and HG are God.

@Faustzme @Nunya97703 @StephenBea55934 @mholt6 @latterdaylaura (note that I'm not taking issue with the contention that the Nicene creed has formed the backbone of the majority of christianity, or that LDS theology represents a stark departure from several of its tenets)

@Faustzme @Nunya97703 @StephenBea55934 @mholt6 @latterdaylaura As an aside, I'd love to know what the prompt was for that text ^. Was it pasting in the previous tweets, or asking for a summary of what "most christians" agree on doctrinally? It seems to be mostly a restatement of the Nicene creed, with a little exposition.

@fham_r things are early enough that I think many people don't realize how generic the output actually is 🙃 hopefully norms will shift, but we're in a very uncanny valley place right now

@jaredforsyth For real. I think LLMs are very useful but humans have limited energy/time and thus are often more to the point. Regardless, it makes it clear the writer did not really care, because even with LLM help you can iterate on the text to make it look less generic.

just saw a "why this matters" heading in a blog post and immediately skipped the rest of it. it's so surreal to be increasingly encountering people who are fine publishing LLM output as their own writing. I would love for there to be a social norm that if you're going to (1/4)
