There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

nobody should give or receive any career advice right now. everyone is broadly underestimating the scope and scale of change and the high variance of the future. your L4 engineer buddy at meta telling you “bro cs degrees are cooked” doesn’t know shit

Just after Praggnanandhaa won his game, The World no.1 Magnus Carlsen got up from his board to talk with him! It seemed that Magnus was talking about some variations with @rpragchess , and gave him a pat on the back! #FIDEWorldCup Video: @FIDE_chess livestream

Much of the discussion surrounding AI has focused on outcomes with negative potential. But as a #technology leveraging proprietary #AI and #machinelearning for good, we know the positive opportunities this tech can provide. At Vaayu, AI is helping us to fight #climatechange.

"It's ridiculous to think I'd actually rob a bank." - guy caught robbing a bank
It is ridiculous that so many are thinking that I really beat Vishy sir in a chess game, that is almost like me waking up and winning a 100mt race with Usain Bolt. 😬

How well can @MagnusCarlsen identify chess positions? @DavidHowellGM tested the world champion, and the result is truly mindblowing! #ChessChamps

Replying to @seldo @MikeCluck
When I started web development, I was literally instructed that I should learn how to parse and format HTTP headers myself, and getting PHP to do it for me was "ignoring the fundamentals". Everyone thinks whatever they learned is fundamental, and stuff after that is cheating.

#RacisminAustralia - a thread I've been living in Australia for almost 6 years. During that time I've seen & experienced a staggering amount of #racism. Here are some examples. Hoping sharing this will make people accept racism is a problem here and that it needs to change.
