There is a truly unbelievable amount of noise and churn in the AI world. My hope for this new podcast is that we can bring a calm perspective to the AI hype topic du jour, grounded in the long history of computing.
@mschoening and I are starting a podcast where we nerd out about human-AI collaboration and malleable software. In this episode: is HTML actually better than Markdown? and an alternative to Software Factories... Watch on YT: youtu.be/KB9lRdM5eO0?si…
A demo of the Newspeak IDE integration youtu.be/D1mEQ6ixJUk . AI modifies the system live, evaluates code, runs the debugger etc.
How can we ensure critical safety properties of AI agents? Like, no API keys leaked, no prompt injection, no data loss? It's a hard question which will require fundamentally rethinking the way we build modular software. We have an answer in our paper "Tracking Capabilities for Safer Agents" arxiv.org/abs/2603.00991, which I will present at the CAIS conference caisconf.org next week.
Integration of AI into the Newspeak IDE is proceeding nicely. IIt's a work in progress, but already very useful. Currently supports Anthropic models. I asked the AI: What makes the AI integration in Newspeak special? [1/n]

We trace this to the Nostalgia Effect: scientists cite older work as careers progress, ~1 month per career year. The paper that most anchors a researcher's career is typically published TWO YEARS before their own first publication. Imprinting that persists for decades.

Evidence coding agents benefit from stable code identifiers. "none of these tools give the model a stable, verifiable identifier for the lines it wants to change without wasting tremendous amounts of context and depending on perfect recall" @_can1357 blog.can.ac/2026/02/12/the…
A 2005 state-designed worm designed to corrupt physics simulations sat undetected on VirusTotal for nearly a decade. Fast16, intercepted executable files at the kernel level and silently rewrote floating-point calculations to make them produce slightly wrong answers. Targets: high-precision engineering suites used for structural analysis, crash simulations, and physical process modeling, including LS-DYNA, a tool cited in reports on Iran's nuclear weapons research. The sabotage vector relied on deployment of the driver across a network via worm, corrupting calculations on every machine, and eliminating the possibility of cross-checking results against a clean system. Stuxnet got the documentary. Fast16 got twenty years of nothing. sentinelone.com/labs/fast16-my…
A fundamental division between schools of thought in programming is (a) the elimination through simplifying of cruft, boilerplate, and extra abstraction layers, and (b) the automation of maintaining cruft, boilerplate, and extra abstraction layers. One of the reasons I drifted away from C++ and newer languages with adjacent philosophies towards a subset of C is that I found myself in the first camp. Some problems were simply not as hard as I was making them. Memory management, threading, UI, and so on could be simplified such that not only the high level C code became simple, but the actual machine code also became simple. This is starkly different from modern C++ and Rust programming culture, where the philosophy is simply that dealing with the complicated lower level details is a matter of *automation*. The compiler needs to generate something extra, it needs to check extra things, and so on. “Agentic programming” falls into the latter camp, and this is also why I don’t employ it in my workflow (other than search engine usage and so on). I don’t need it to generate 10s of 1000s of lines of code. The requirement of 10s of 1000s of lines of code—for implementing something derived from the information content inside a tiny prompt—is an architectural red flag. Perhaps a substantial portion of that code simply shouldn’t exist. I find that my programs become much better when I do that simplification pass first. After that, there’s drastically less boilerplate, less maintenance, and less busywork to begin with.
