SteamOS switched from Debian to Arch for a reason.

> We acknowledge not everything will be covered, we're setting the requirements at the 90th percentile use case

I'm ok with this as long as dropped requirements are documented and nobody wakes you up at night when those edge cases show up in production. Also, when the next feature needs to build on top of those dropped edge cases, you are given enough resources to redo the previous solution.

I don't think there was a 'prompt' for it, rather a long and dedicated work of a professional mathematician which involved LLM in some capacity. I'm sure the search step wasn't an ad-hoc script running in a Claude Code session (as somebody would naively assume), it was an optimized numerical code running in Anthropic's compute cluster. Note that details are not published yet and `__alpoge__` is officially working at Anthropic.

What's the Elm definition of simplicity? Genuinely asking, because the concept of simplicity is very vague and overloaded in programming.

The Elm Architecture[1] makes it easy to reason about code. You render the current state. You create a new state by applying a message to the current state.

You really need to use it to see the light. It's like reading about programming and actually programming. You don't understand programming until you actually program.

You won't understand why elm is simple until you actually use elm to the point of internal understanding. I think doing this is much harder nowadays given that most people would likely use an LLM to do most of the coding.

said it better than me.

> Rick Rubin told Anderson Cooper he has no technical ability. Doesn't play instruments. Can't work a mixing board.

If you watch his interview on Rick Beato's channel, this myth will fall apart. He plays guitar, had his own punk rock band and his guitar playing is featured on some high-profile records he produced. Also, he has a lot of practical experience with all kinds of studio equipment.

That’s exactly it. His taste isn’t in any one thing. It’s the esoteric and accumulated from a variety of things. You can’t package it up. That’s the point on the project specs. I can never get it right in one, but the arc over 100 becomes visible. Especially to an LLM that has the capacity to intake and understand that.

>You can’t package it up.

Well, you can package it up, otherwise Rick wouldn't exist.

> Do that well and you can build what a team of twenty engineers would put out in a month for around a thousand dollars.

As usual, an extraordinary claim without an extraordinary evidence: https://stephen.bochinski.dev/apps/

I would argue that those are not emergent property of the model, but a property of how humans find insights in a plausible guess.

"AI" is a marketing term, LLMs and Difusion Models are math.

They want to run local models

No, it's much worse. It will take much more time to review and notice that it doesn't actually solve the problem at hand.

In this regard it's worse, true.
