Exploring Chess Positions and Counts

from Win Vector LLC [alt+shift+b] in AI

11th Feb 2026
Introduction In our earlier article “How Many Chess Games are Possible?” we derived that the number of typical short chess games is around 10151. This turned out to be much larger than the “Shannon number” 10120 side-note from Shanon’s remarkable 1950 paper “Programming a...

A Language For Agents

from Armin Ronacher's Thoughts and Writings [alt+shift+b] in AI

9th Feb 2026
Last year I first started thinking about what the future of programming languages might look like now that agentic engineering is a growing thing. Initially I felt that the enormous corpus of pre-existing code would cement existing languages in place but now I’m starting to think...

I'm rounding out my series of posts on Sebastian Raschka's book "Build a Large Language Model (from Scratch)" by seeing how I could train the best base model I can from scratch on my own hardware. I started by training one in two days on my RTX 3090, and found that while it was a...

For context, Anthropic again blocked opencode from the Claude Code API. I wasn’t planning to try other models today, but now that’s all I’m going to be doing. I’m sure they have a massive influx of users on Claude Code since Opus 4.5, I’ve been recommending it to everyone. But...

Turns out you can just port things now. I already attempted this experiment in the summer, but it turned out to be a bit too much for what I had time for. However, things have advanced since. Yesterday I ported MiniJinja (a Rust Jinja2 template engine) to native Go, and I used...

I am Tired of Praise of Byproduct

from Win Vector LLC [alt+shift+b] in AI

10th Jan 2026
I’ve been worrying a bit over the philosophy of creation and dissemination in the era of LLMs (large language models). I feel we are overly impressed with the byproduct or even the bycatch. LLMs do complete some tasks, write code, and produce superficially convincing texts. In my...
