Yeah, the more ambitious I get the more Claude doesn't follow the plan and just makes up random stuff to get the tests to pass instead of following the design...

I'd like to see the UCLA study which showed that in states that legalized marijuana, bankruptcies and credit card delinquencies increased about 25%. Admittedly, I didn't read the whole article but I didn't see anything…
I've been poking at a C version of this (https://github.com/dan-eicher/javelina) which would be interesting to benchmark against as it does a similar tail-calling dispatch mechanism. Plus copy-and-patch JIT but that…
>> I was curious why you swapped over to a register based VM Not the OP but there are real performance benefits, I've been poking at a wasm VM and it has two jit backends where one is pure copy-and-patch while the other…
I thought this was just a thing until I moved from Cal to Arizona and people would get really mad about it until I asked someone at work and learned it's illegal.
Yeah, that only works if they follow the plan (they don't), actually write the tests first (they don't) and don't silently defer anything which doesn't have a test written as "speculative without a use case". Or just…
> Native interop with JS objects on the JS GC heap isn't supported as well. Isn't that what the i31 type is for, that extra bit is a tag for...something, native GC'd object perhaps? Not so clear on that myself as Java's…
I just have them write the tools to write the DSL's to do the thing then (most of) the sloppy code stays in the generator and if all the different things depend on each other they don't go stale and whatnot. And let…
Fairly certain all those have "acts of congress" attached to them. I mean, it used to take a constitutional amendment to make something illegal but now we have tons of agencies responsible for regulating all the things.…
Sure, but the attached chat rooms were pretty handy, I used to like to download bootlegged concerts back in the day, to find new ones you've never heard of. Plus, always fun to get laughed for mistyping The Almond…
"If you have a question look in the specification for the answer and don't just guess" seems a fairly important thing to remember for more than a couple of minutes...
I think the problem is they take the shortest path to the goal ...which may or may not coincide with what you have planned. Oh, and generally think instructions are merely suggestions and what you really want this this…

Yeah, Clang's musttail and preserve_none make interpreter writing much simpler, just make yourself a guaranteed tail call opcode dispatch method (continuation passing style works a treat here), stitch those together…

Pivot to where the stupid money is being thrown around seems like a perfectly reasonable business plan.
One of my experiments was to have Claude write a VM and then generate a verification harness (using a DSL) for it to ensure it was correct with the theory being the same bug would have to exist in the test suite, the…
My project over the last week was to get the robots to train a neural net to learn the "303 thing", hasn't gone well at all. The first one sounded like it was being played on a blown out speaker after it got run over…
Yeah, back during Trump's first term I was hoping Congress would rein in executive power a bunch as he is prone to do stuff like this, didn't turn out that way unfortunately... Now the main constraint on executive power…

You know, for all my flaws I've always tried my hardest to be on the right side of history. One can both believe that immigration policy is broken and also that the current way it's being enforced is immoral and…
