  Vibe coding is not programming, and the line between them is whether you look at the implementation at all.

  Their words

  And vibe coding, if we define it here, is you tell an agent to build software for you. You do not look at the implementation. That, to me, is what separates vibe coding from programming or, let's say, agent-accelerated development.

  You can teach somebody to be a really good AI developer in a few months, but you cannot teach them a computer science degree in three — so hire for the fundamentals.

  Their words

  We can we can teach we can teach somebody, I think, to be a really good AI developer in a few months. You can build enough intuition where you are, you know, accelerated off the ground and you can go like keep growing there. It's really hard to teach someone a CS undergrad program in in 3 months.

  AI has accelerated the pace of development but not the pace of business, and that mismatch will become more and more apparent.

  Their words

  So one of the things is that the pace of development is definitely accelerated. One thing I wonder the pace of business hasn't accelerated though and that mismatch is going to become more and more apparent.

  Resenting the Hero

  Their words

  Comparing this to The Fifth Season, it is striking how different two fantasy novels about worlds over-supplied with natural disasters, and the people with the psychic gifts to stop those disasters with their minds, can be in tone and execution. This is immensely fluffier, but it has no pretensions to be anything except candy, and succeeds as such.

  Nvidia did not build a tensor processing unit — it built accelerated computing, whose market reach no ASIC can match.

  Their words

  Our market reach is far greater than any any TPU can any ASA can possibly have. And so if you look at our position, uh we're the only company that that accelerates applications of all kinds.

  The joy of a programmer is to type the code himself; promoting yourself out of that makes you a project manager of a murder of AI crows.

  Their words, before

  The joy of a programmer, of me as a programmer, is to type the code myself. If I elevate myself, if I promote myself out of programming, I turn myself into a project manager. A project manager of a murder of AI crows as I wrote the other day.

  Their words now

  I have been hyper accelerated as a programmer. It's a different kind of programmer, but it still has the same affinity to aesthetics, at least when I'm producing Ruby code.

  Allied bombing and the Holocaust are not morally equivalent: had Hitler stopped the war the bombing would have stopped, while a German victory would only have accelerated the killing.

  It’s like, no, because the moment Hitler stopped the war, the bombing would stop. The moment the war stopped in Hitler’s favor, the killing would continue and be accelerated.

  Export controls slowed China at the leading edge and accelerated it everywhere else, because being locked out taught China to in-source the trailing edge.

  China

  Their words

  So there is an angle of, the US' actions, from the angle of the expert controls, have been so inflammatory at slowing down China's progress on the leading edge that they've turned around and have accelerated their progress elsewhere because they know that this is so important.
