    OP again: The tjs compiler transpiles ts into itself: https://platform.tosijs.net/#example=Hello+TypeScript&sectio... It's written in typescript and can transpile itself. When it t…

    It's evening when I posted. I was heading to dinner, not hovering over my computer.

    Every execution atom in the save eval sandbox has a 'gas' cost that also time bounds it, so eval is safe both from the halting problem and type fuzzing, and the only things the cod…

    OP here. I wrote this because I was frustrated by the recent "16 AI Agents build a C compiler" narrative. Building a C compiler is an exercise in implementation; I wanted to see if…

    While I was waiting for the night train to Oulu in Helsinki on Friday night, I pondered two problems I have been thinking about for years on the one hand, and for months on the oth…

    It seems to be true to me. And aside from the API stuff (because I am far from an expert user of Zod) all of this has been carefully verified.

    N is increasing. O(1) means constant (actually capped). We never check more than 100 items.

    JSON schema is very human readable.

    JSON Schema is a schema built on JSON and it’s already being used. Using XML would mean converting the XML into JSON schema to define the response from the LLM. That said, JSON is …

    Comment #46023532

    I wrote this library this weekend after realizing that Zod was really not designed for the use-cases I want JSON schemas for: 1) defining response formats for LLMs and 2) as a sing…

    Unlike previous GUI platforms there's no reason we should need to cross-compile to XR devices given the capabilities of the VisioPro and Quest 3. This is literally the first demo o…

    What's odd to me is the choice of Condi Rice. Even assuming that she was relatively blameless compared to (say) Cheney, what the heck do they think they gain by appointing a polari…
