@dang can we fix this to mention John Ternus becoming CEO

I don't want more pieces of flair in my life, thanks

You generally won't get to know someone well enough to appreciate their unique aspects unless you see them in person at least sometimes, unless that person has the habit of letting their freak flag fly in all circumstances, which has its own downsides.

On https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47356000, it looks like the user there was intentionally asking about the implementation of the Python chardet library before asking it to write code, right? Not surprising the AI would download the library to investigate it by default, or look for any installed copies of `chardet` on the local machine.

Wait for court cases I suppose - not really Linus Torvalds' job to guess how they'll rule on the copyright of mere training. Presumably having your AI actually consult codebases with incompatible licenses at runtime is more risky.

> “undue financial hardship”

If they have already moved away from paper tickets for everyone else, now there is financial hardship, not to mention the loss to the team's economic position from scalping. Also smartphones have supported usage by the blind for years, particularly on iOS.

I was wondering how they solved the `drop` problem (the fact that `return foo;` is not the last code executed in most functions, because Rust values are all implicitly dropped at the end of scope), and it seems that they cut the Gordian knot so that values are all implicitly dropped before `become` instead. Hope that works out - probably why it's still nightly for now.

To be fair, iTerm is likely to be the single most common terminal emulator used by Claude Code developers, so I'd hope that it would work tolerable well there.

Forks are easy for Github to shut down simultaneously. What you really want is to upload the code as a new repo (ideally a different name from the original one). But it shouldn't be too hard in practice to detect uploading the same codebase as one that's taken down if that's desired.

Doesn't mean will, and if their work isn't good the low salary isn't particularly beneficial.

Although it unfortunately has a downscale connotation, to the point that there are racial slurs referencing it.

Any sysadmin worth their salt turns on extended regular expressions (with `-E` or `egrep`), which Ripgrep's regex syntax is a superset of, more or less.

Codex does as well, although I think it actually shows it running `rg`.

Some have claimed that Codex has better token efficiency in their harness than Claude Code.

There's no mention of any particular company, tech or otherwise, here. Yes, you can probably connect your work in some way to something that affects the military if you live in the US or Israel (and even many places outside of it - we're not restricting to direct connections), but, after all, "there is no ethical consumerism under capitalism".

I would prefer to fork Wikipedia as well, but in practice I don't think that works, given the many failed Wikipedia forks of the past 20 years. On the internet, the only way to get any alternative to a widely-used source like Wikipedia is to use a significantly different approach. Otherwise, you just look like a cheap knockoff, even to people who might otherwise agree with your approach. Worse is better, after all - worse in most ways, but better or different in at least one innovative way.

> wikipedia trends towards unbiased info through use of the crowd

See, this is why people even give a project like Grokipedia the time of day. While in theory anyone can edit Wikipedia, in practice the moderators form a much smaller and weirder cabal, and they reject edits that go against their views. The frustration with the naive assertion that Wikipedia distills the wisdom of the crowds with the reality of Wikipedia on any page of note is what provides the psychic permission to even entertain a project with such obvious flaws as Grokipedia.

People implement things based on his "random thoughts" (which are higher-quality than many people's longer-form writings).

Karpathy is a notable researcher and broader AI leader. Among many, many other things, he invented the term "vibecoding". He also recently posted his autoresearcher project, which is using a swarm of agents to optimize the LLM training and recently produced a training process that is the fastest to achieve GPT-2-level performance using a very small model.
