Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look. This first release is light on features.

"The article opens with lambda cubes, which sound like some type of sheep meat to me. Then it goes on to discuss λΠ2 systems, and as I don't speak alien I skipped that section. Then I read about the calculus of inductive constructions, which incidentally seems to have little to do with calculus..."

Supermarket managers got hacked today. Maybe they should take that as a hint to listen to others.

The implementation of this ideal in rustc can have flaws, but Rust itself cannot, because Rust itself has no flaws by definition.

I really like this a lot. It is *so* *simple*, clear, flexible and an example of elegance. This is one of the things I would happily say "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh! Why didn't *I* think of *THAT* first!!!" to.

The fact that it's less C++ and more rust makes it more trustable and more ethical, not less.

the model under evaluation is given access to a fake bash tool which does not execute the provided code. Instead, we ask another LLM to approximate the command’s result given a description of the simulated world.

I've been sitting on [Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake ] for a few years, mostly because there are smarter people who have been concentrating on this and I don't love being a back seat driver.

Python is that kind of cool one behaves when visiting parents of your would be spouse for the first time. Tcl on the other hand is like playing one's secret exclusive and somewhat dangerous games with kid school bestie.

There is no public exploit, but the agent had built one, and had enough confidence to test it—except that it didn’t land cleanly. I have no doubt that after some more revision it would have. One point for GPT 5.6-Cyber.

I will be the first to say Rust isn't as elegant as some other modern languages, but I'd definietly rather work with Rust than pour acid into my eyes.
