Local AI needs to be the norm

The trend of relying on cloud-hosted AI models for features in applications is creating fragile, invasive, and broken software that invades user privacy and depends on external vendors. Developers should instead use local AI models on-device to transform user-owned data, ensuring faster, private, and trustworthy results without the need for cloud dependencies.

I'm going back to writing code by hand

7 lines of code, 3 minutes: Implement a programming language (2010)

The lambda calculus is a minimalist, higher-order functional programming language that is equivalent to the Turing machine and can be implemented in various programming languages including JavaScript, Python, and Ruby. It achieves Turing-equivalence through Church encodings and the Y combinator, and its interpreter can be designed using the eval/apply pattern, which scales to much bigger languages.
