    I agree that it is very exhausting

    Yea, I think it will be totally useless to switch at that level and instead it will be about reviewing the work more effectively. I think I would believe in the more "autonomous Cl…

    I agree. This is what has worked for the past few weeks and I want to share. Maybe I will regret my life choices. If I'm still doing it next year, that will be something different …

    Ask Claude ;) Right now it is hard-coded to run `claude --resume ` but there's a natural abstraction to use a different script to start the Claude session. If you're being sarcasti…

    Whether multi-tasking is good or bad, I think that if you're "waiting for Claude" at all, you're going to be multi-tasking or staring into space. I try to stare into space when I'm…

    LOTs of key bindings.

    Amen. Making the checking painless and easy to do is a major boon. There's a spectrum of "checking is easy": the compiler telling you the code doesn't compile is the easiest, but d…

    My personal experience matches this. When I'm "succeeding", I am at the 5-to-7 minute cycle time and when I (or Claude) are failing, there's constant attention and no ability to sw…

    I've gone through a bunch of different processes learning how to use Claude. Giving it large tasks that take 40 minutes basically always fails for me. Giving it small tasks that ta…

    I disagree. My workflow is built around reviewing what it produces and trying to build a process where it is effective to do that. I definitely can't and don't watch edits as they …

    My tool supports doing many, but I find it hard to use it for much more than 3 or 4 concurrent projects. I've tried more than that open and I fail. I find that 3 project with 2 or …

    The issues you mention are all alleviated by the stateless continuations which do not store state on the server and allow various ways of closing off the session from simply having…

    Certainly, but most math proofs aren't "rigorous proofs" by any stretch.

    Comment #6202050

    Syntactic validity is not a property of a program, but a property of a piece of text that makes it a program. In any case, the point is that type systems purport to identify some a…

    Comment #6202041

    If you really believe this, you should try to translate any contemporary (published) mathematical proof into a real logic, like Coq. It is hard and people earn PhDs doing this beca…

    We should not throw out mathematics, but we should recognize that most mathematical proofs are not based on logic, but human intuition in the first place. Human intuition and wisdo…

    Comment #6201613

    That's not a counter-example. I'm not saying that Java doesn't allow syntax that might look like "number + string", just that it does not actually add them, like C does where: 3 + …

    It's true. The theorems are a statement about the logics. Most of the time when you design a logic, you get to "choose" which case you'll get. Most people choose "true but not prov…

    This is Jay. Arc macros are like define-syntax-rule macros in Racket. dsr is great for lots of things, but sometimes you need more power. In any case, this post is really about wha…

    As a Racket author, I can tell you that we provided them with a hack to enable mutation on arbitrary conses, so they can upgrade whenever they wish, and I don't know whether they h…
