Plot twist: the AI wins not through terminators but a kafka nightmare

Meanwhile I'm so proud that I'm keeping my hobby project under 10k lines and spend time trying to delete code for my own sanity

Personal anecdote: I spent a few days hacking on my compiler to remove 1k lines of code (about 15% of total code) while preserving behavior I was only able to do that after I had s…

Anecdotally I find them helpful for design and I don't find them nearly as helpful for coding (strange, given others experiences reported online) I am working on a compiler for an …

This is the only way I've been able to get LLMs to produce code I will actually use. Manually selecting the context for them and asking for a specific piece or similar I started us…

Bullshit lol

Reading this is nightmare fuel right before I go to bed omg

I never really tried out Cocoa. What did you like about it?

Scala and a few others use `[]` (the compiler itself is written in Scala)

Just curious, what made you choose GRIN? I haven't heard of it but it looks neat!

This level of generics actually has me interested a bit in Go now.

Yes, .NET had the benefit of coming second and using F#, which was originally essentially OCaml 4 on .NET, as it's testing grounds. Same for Async I am considering .NET for one of …

I don't know why people keep acting like any kind of LLM skepticism or criticism is based on bristled fur or something. I am very skeptical of these workflows, but I also use LLMs …

I had a model yesterday suggest that I intern all float literals in my compiler to save on memory lmao

Exactly. I'm a huge FP fan. When someone doesn't like FP I don't lecture them on how they're holding it wrong. I usually assume that, unsurprisingly, the tool doesn't suit every pr…

No one in this chain said it sucks. Any sort of criticism towards LLM workflows is constantly met with these kinds of absurd statements. I've never seen any other tool with this ki…

I had this thought yesterday where I wondered if there was a way to run an Android app in the browser (definitely non trivial, but something I would expect to exist in some form) a…

I've come to consider memory management the third

I think this is a great abstraction of the process I've never considered in those terms and I like it. It explains a bit of how software development differs from some other buildin…

I was about to say a lot of algorithms or invariant bugs for me are slight mistakes at an edge of something

That actually made me cackle ty

I stopped posting there around then. Multiple times in a row I asked a question, got it closed as a duplicate/pointed to another thread/met with "why are you even trying to do that…

I've tried GLM a few times but each time it ends up getting stuck in a loop and burning tons of tokens before I eventually kill it and restart. Has anyone had the same issue / know…

They also have huge influence over our military and laws. I immediately thought of the banana wars
