I used opportunity to learn about devcontainers. I've only recently started using llms and it's possible I'll change my mind later; but so far I quite like the approach in part because it 2-for-1 also gives benefit of…
it's a very old idea. I first saw this on https://www.squidi.net/three/entry.php?id=56
one of the players he persistently harassed, Daniel Naroditsky, ended up dying, which surely gave an extra push
It took 6 turns for opus 4.8 to attempt to make an illegal move in chess against me. Yes you can setup guardrails and validations and other things, but as long its primary brain is demonstrably full of holes, I feel…
Almost all of these problems are due to scheme being so absurdly fractured, it's a real shame. It's already niche, but then on top of it instead of having 2-3 robust implementations with robust cli / messages / docs /…
doubtful, or at least not useful ones. Like, you could describe some invariant along the lines of "the position is winning for the side-to-move, iff there exists move, such that position' := ApplyMove(position, move) is…

kawa is unfortunately a somewhat shoddy project. Alot of halfbaked features / abstraction ideas (eg trying to support CL for whatever reason), dubious tooling for a java project (autotools), unclean and inconsistent…

it feels OpenAI know they've lost, and their only hope is getting saved by USA military complex. I have a more restrained opinion about other AI companies and LLM tech more broadly; but for OpenAI specifically I hope…
hardly new, I've used it before advent of llm popularity, and I wasn't alone
CS undergrads write parsers for some toy lisps or other straight forward syntax. C isn't as trivial https://faultlore.com/blah/c-isnt-a-language/#you-cant-actua... (a small remark, but to be clear I'm not terribly…
I knew one person reporting gcc bugs, and iirc those were all niche scenarios where it generated slightly suboptimal machine code but not otherwise observable from behavior
hopefully a legal action is taken against such abhorrent project blatantly violating users' privacy
Performance concerns are WIP, it's too early to meaningfully benchmark. I did some napkin benchmarking against sbcl for curiosity and it was ~7 times slower
I see where you're coming from, and the naming was quite unimaginative, indeed. I saw that "truffle ruby" called itself that and copied it. However, the fact it's based on truffle is the selling point -- truffle enables…
