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.

My first motorcycle was fast enough to get out of the way of stupid drivers (and be fun) while my last one was so fast it still amazes me to this day that I'm still alive. Apparent…

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 "spec…

Yeah, I used to work with a ton of “unhinged” people willing to take risks because it was the literal job requirement, being willing to jump out of a perfectly good airplane behind…

> 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…

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 …

I mean, I got them to 100% using the official conformance suite on my copy-and-patch jit compiler/interpreter WASM VM... Saw that Salt Language article a day to two ago on how they…

What I suspect is this 17% is the exact sub-set it needed to hack together to make the goal (running some example website) a reality as this is what those dodgy weasels do if you l…

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 res…

I was playing around with stuff trying to get Claude produce a JavaCard VM with the idea that the VM was hand written from the spec with a separate, independently produced, spec fi…

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…

"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 suggesti…

> but the tail calls are integral to the function of the interpreter Not really, a trampoline could emulate them effectively where the stack won't keep growing at the cost of a fun…

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…

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 …

I find it as an interesting experiment to find the limits of what they can do. Like, I've had it build a full APL interpreter, half an optimizer, started on a copy-and-patch JIT co…

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 blo…

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…
