This is sick, loved the 2swap video on this. Happy to see more content visualizing lambda calculus and Tromp lambda diagrams.

This is so cool to see. Saw tons of Waymo in LA/Santa Monica area when I was there in October. Very excited to see them expand basically all through SoCal!

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.

I didn't get around to that because my monitor is not amazingly wide (mainly using a laptop :P). Thanks for the feedback though, I may add that in the future.

That's fair :)

On: Julia 1.12 highlights

[__grob]

This is a fantastic release, been looking forward to --trim since the 2024 JuliaCon presentation. All of the other features look like fantastic QoL additions too - especially redefinition of structs and the introduction of apps.

Congrats Julia team!

This is so exciting! Been waiting for this for years, very interested to see what people can do with this

Cool, I had a very similar idea recently, awesome to see it live! Congrats!

It's so funny how many people tell us that - it's one of the obvious ideas someone just needed to start with. What kept you from building the first version?

On: A software conference that advocates for quality

I know Berkeley Mono when I see it! My go-to terminal font for coming up on three years. Automatically gets me pumped about this conference.

Using Devin's DeepWiki for the docs page gives me an uneasy feeling. I would rather have real docs.

On: My AI skeptic friends are all nuts

I use Perplexity as my daily driver and it seems to be pretty good at piecing together the path forward from documentation as it has that built-in web search when you ask a question. Hopefully LLMs go more in that direction and less in the SO copy-paste direction, sidestepping the ouroboros issue.

I would love to know as well. I also have problems with the LLM coding agents when it comes to lesser-known languages like Julia. Has anybody solved this yet?
