New comment by KolmogorovComp in "AI has access to a vastly larger working memory than the human brain"

It used to be the same with assembly. Programmers complained the one generated by compilers was not pretty, but now in 99.999% of the cases, it does not matter because nobody look at it.

I agree, the less batterie-complete STD become, the more everyone get its own half-baked utility one.

I think you both had a different meaning behind the verb 'write'. You clearly refer to the physical act of writing, while OP refer's to writing as an author (ie be enjoyable to read), which most people never achieve.

How do you solve the issues of private key sharings that are stored in cwd .env? I haven’t found a satisfactory way to preserve them while letting the agent have access.

New comment by KolmogorovComp in "DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731"

Looking at the caching price of deepseek compared to its competitors, does it have a secret sauce or is it just subsidizing?

New comment by KolmogorovComp in "Responding to the next frontier of critical cyber capabilities"

KolmogorovComp — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 17:44:45 +0000

Am I the only one not understanding the issue around increased Cybersecurity capabilities?

If we consider the amount of RCE/CVE in a software to be limited, I expect these models to result in massively more secured softwares, not less.

New comment by KolmogorovComp in "GitHub Actions and Pages are experiencing degraded availability"

KolmogorovComp — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 17:41:35 +0000

Almost no FOSS project is going to move away despite the issues, because the free tier of GitHub Action is very generous and afaik is largely unmatched.

Thanks to the authors for choosing a license that respect users freedom, on top of being an awesome technical project.

New comment by KolmogorovComp in "MariaDB: Promote getting to 10k GitHub stars in server log and client prompt"

KolmogorovComp — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 19:02:05 +0000

It will be interesting to see the uptick in stars if any.

The real gold in this thread however is the link to https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02...

Seriously, it's a wild (and heart-breaking) story about js-core maintainer adding a similar line for funding, receiving many hateful answers, while in debt and even going to prison, then not being able to leaveRussia, just for the sake of continuing to maitain his FOSS lib.

I've posted it as a separate entry because it definitely needs more visibility.

So what's next (personal news from developer of popular CoreJS polyfill) (2023)

I can only imagine the hell it must be when the AST is changed to update all inbound and outbound code.

KolmogorovComp — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 09:59:49 +0000

But AI do benefit a lot from a strict compiler, and having a simple language improve a lot on type-safety, so I don't think it is to throw, even today.

New comment by KolmogorovComp in "Go 1.27 Interactive Tour"

KolmogorovComp — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 14:03:32 +0000

Instead of having each language bring progress in a different and/or novel, we get this, old java features that comes 20 years-in after the making.

They're probably useful, but clearly not sexy (as golang in general).

New comment by KolmogorovComp in "I don't recommend Tailwind CSS"

KolmogorovComp — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 09:05:19 +0000

Same, my need for tailwind got completely ridden when I started using Svelte, thanks to the CSS-scoping it entailed.

Teams, Zulip, WhatsApp, they all suck so much... Discord is decent in my experience.

Thanks for sharing, very clear and impressive overview.

New comment by KolmogorovComp in "AI's top startups are barely publishing their research"

To scan them, they usually have to resort breaking them into individual pages.
