    100,000 people joined the catholic church in america this week. At this point I don't think anything other than the church retains the ability to present a coherent moral or metaph…

    yeah, making a whole language is way more impressive! anecdotally it is also interesting to use with ai because apparently it is "harder to be on autopilot" based on a huge pre-exi…

    fun fact, you can easily write c in any language you want through the power of macros https://github.com/farant/rhubarb/blob/main/include/latina.h edit: oh, maybe you can’t do full…

    So somewhere here there is a 2x2 or something based on these factors: 1. Programmers viewing programming through career and job security lens 2. Programmers who love the experience…

    Sorry it is a little buggy sometimes! You can see the first step of the idea here: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/eec07cc4-e8fa-4350-a496-a... And the second step here: https:/…

    I think we underestimate the creative downside of forcing responsive design on everything

    I am slowly learning bits of latin doing this. And Claude does say that it makes it read the code less on “autopilot” because it has to stop and translate the code. Don’t know how …

    Wow! That sounds amazing. I did experiment with using non latin characters for conventions like mu but I think I ran into some suprising rough edges working with claude that made m…

    I started aquinas first, that was a very interesting learning experience! Not as hard to get stuff on the screen targeting an emulator as your “machine” as I would have thought.

    I am experimenting with show bible as an “advanced vibe coding technique” for documenting modules, maybe an episode per module? Claude seems to respond positively! You can always c…

    I think talking to AI in XML is very promising! It is kind of like moving from a 1d semantic plane to a 2d semantic plane. I think it could be a cool way to work around some of the…

    Relax is a “conlang” I invented to prime conversations with Claude. Working with its alignment training is sometimes like talking to someone who is very polite and you both know wh…

    Well, it's still AI slop but it's fun to make! I wouldn't necessarily recommend the latin part to everyone but I think writing your own standard libraries in C is a lot more access…

    Show HN: Rhubarb – C89 Libraries in Latin

    Considering all the supply chain dependencies lately I've been building a collection of C89 libraries to make zero dependency stuff. For fun I have also been programming it in lati…

    Yeah, figuring out a good structure really helped! The basic insight is that you can iterate like this without losing coherence and starting to generate artifacts from feedback loo…
