New blog post up: I discovered that you can indeed prompt agents to make your code faster to the point it beats current state-of-the-art libraries.

So, uh, personal announcement. I am now suddenly unemployed. I am currently looking for a data science/machine learning/AI job in the SF Bay Area. If you're interested, let me know! In the meantime, I now have *plenty* of time for blogging lol. 74.7K views · 293 likes · 18 reposts · 21 replies Open on X →
