> it's a mountain of inscrutable agent output that manages to compile

But is this actually true? They don't say that as far as I can tell, and it also doesn't compile for me nor their own CI it seems.

Oh it doesn’t compile? that’s very revealing

  • Some people just believe anything said on X these days. No timeline from start to finish, just "trust me bro".

    If you can't reproduce or compile the experiment then it really doesn't work at all and nothing but a hype piece.

Hah I don't know actually! I was assuming it must if they were able to get that screenshot video.

  • error: could not compile `fastrender` (lib) due to 34 previous errors; 94 warnings emitted

    I guess probably at some point, something compiled, but cba to try to find that commit. I guess they should've left it in a better state before doing that blog post.

    • I find it very interesting the degree to which coding agents completely ignore warnings. When I program I generally target warning-free code, and even with significant effort in prompting, I haven't found a model that treats warnings as errors, and they almost all love the "ignore this warning" pragmas or comments over actually fixing them.
