Oh, you're writing CUDA kernels? Everyone's on Triton now. Just kidding, we're all on Mojo. We're using cuTile. We're using ROCm. We have an in-house DSL compiler targeting the NVGPU MLIR dialect but wait, Tile IR just dropped so we're going to target that instead. Our PM is on TileLang. The team lead was on CuTe but now she's back to handwriting PTX. If you're not on Pallas, you're ngmi. Our intern is building on TT-Metalium for our Wormholes. Our CFO approved an order for some big chungus wafer-scale chips so now we're porting our kernels to CSL. Our CTO is working on a kernel-less graph compiler so we won't need to write kernels anymore. Our CEO thinks we're talking about the Linux kernel. We're building Claude for dogs.
With all these zero days coming in thick and fast, I suspect we're going to deeply regret this gimmick where modern devices have to always be "smart" and IoT by default.
I mostly hear older folk use that word as a slur. I think most younger people don't know the history of that word and mean it in a neutral way. I often hear it used to talk about media like "Jap music", etc.
I’ll write more when I’ve got more experience with pstack, but I like it so far. I’ve been using it via the Claude Code connector.
One of the things that I like is that some of the skills encourage redundancy (design bake-off, interrogate, etc). You burn a lot of tokens this way but the results are less likely to have critical oversights that are typical with agents. Human review is expensive so I’m more than happy to burn significantly more tokens to get a better designed patch.
I’ll have to give this a try myself. In the past, I’ve been skeptical of some of these ultra-aggressive agentic approaches to development because the resulting software is always poor quality (I don’t care about merging millions of LoC if it’s all crap). But by all accounts, Grok Bot is a well designed piece of software. The author of pstack also has some serious technical chops which makes me feel that this is worth understanding.
Yeah depends on the accent for sure. A lot of NZ accents are indistinguishable to most Australians I know, but some really do sound like they’re talking about dicks imo.
Yep, the models are just flat out better too. Opus 5.5 is the first time I've actually been happy with a model in a long time, particularly in the way that it talks.
I've been the official No. 1 Anthropic hater since the initial Fable release and its hidden guardrails, but I have to admit they've been crushing it lately.
