Using Vectorize to build an unreasonably good search engine in 160 lines of code
🔸Search has become easier to build with AI, thanks to vector databases that index documents as embeddings and store them in a vector database. This allows for semantic search and can be used for more than just search, such as in AI chatbots and copilot-like experiences.

Microsoft denies rewriting Windows 11 in Rust using AI
🔸Microsoft initially claimed to replace C and C++ with Rust using AI, but later clarified it's a research project to make language migration possible. The company is actually using AI to generate code, with 30% of its code already written by AI and aiming for 95% by 2030.

Coding Intelligence Asymptotics
🔸If coding can be cheaply automated, software development will be limited by compilation time and codebase length will increase exponentially. This will enable more ambitious specs and allow for code with guarantees that would be impossible for human teams to achieve.

The Fisher-Yates shuffle is backward
🔸The Fisher-Yates shuffle is a standard algorithm for pseudo-randomly permuting elements in a list, but a simpler "forward" version exists that achieves the same uniform distribution. This "forward" version, also known as the "inside-out" Fisher-Yates shuffle, applies the same set of random transpositions in reverse order, resulting in a uniformly distributed permutation.
