This wasn't even a dunk on AI, at this point I think I need to seriously reconsider the approach and constraints

Today I tried to let an llm iterate and finish some work I started several months ago but didn't get to finish because of its complexity without rewriting everything.
After burning through several hard earned dollars, it failed at the same stage I did.

The first release candidate for Expert is out!

#ElixirLang

Washing machine broke so NAS is postponed until further notice

Funny how people are against psychotic fucks running things on paper, then voluntarily use codex

I don't wish this heartburn to my worst enemy

try to make small change
problem too fundamental
concern

Oh I was thinking of my experience even before gen ai but I can definitely see that happening more often with long ai sessions

code is flagged as unused, gets removed
code gets added again in a new change
refactor flags it as unused
code gets added again in a new change
refactor flags it as unused
code gets added again in a new change
refactor flags it as unused
code gets added again in a new change
refactor flags it as unu

"If it's done right" sadly a rare occurrence. And sadly not encouraged(from my own experience in college)

It pisses me off so much, thousands of hours wasted to please some pedantic idiot, and thousands of hours wasted by readers because the real content is so obfuscated by irrelevant crap around it.

Like, look at this thesis.
250 pages, 20 have actual content and I'm being generous, the rest is slop to conform to the thesis format and to please the pedantic idiot that is like "source????" every 2 words and forces the student to write irrelevant shit to meet the quota.

"Some papers might go overboard if the conference or journal requires an exact # of pages, which happens a lot." is specifically what I have an issue with. It's just slop to conform to a dumb format. References are good but you don't need them every 2 words.
And thesis are the worst offenders.

Papers and thesis are so full of slop it's unbelievable. If it's not 50 cites per sentences, it's 50 pages wasted on explaining the history of the fried shrimp, I don't give a shit tell me what your contribution is already holy fucking shit how can academics be so dense.

Yeah I’ve read it before but it’s not focused on architecting a parser for instrospection, only for the minimum to parse ast and pass something to the interpreter
Cool book though

I'm deep into parsing lately and looking for ways to improve tracing of the parser because it can get to a point where it's hard to track what it's doing
This paper seems interesting in that regard: Visualizing Visual Parser Executions by Gennaro Costagliola, Mattia De Rosa

Lol, I find that with jujutsu it’s not as necessary since you don’t need to stash anything, just jj edit to your other work
I don’t find myself needing to work on 2 things truly simultaneously so I’m not sure how it translates to jj

I also see a lot of people talking about git worktrees lately and that looks so horrible compared to the jj model, it's like seeing people store source code in google drive

More people should use jj, git feels so primitive and wrong after being spoiled by jj
I've run into situations where I start to pile up commits, then realize I should split into multiple PRs and with jj it's rather easy, but in git it's an absolute nightmare unless you use 3rd party tools

I see
I see the issue now
I now have the full context
I now understand the full picture
This is a key insight
This is very interesting behavior
The key observation is

I spent an ungodly amount of time when working on Sourceror figuring out overlapping edits for code mods and reading the LSP spec I see Microsoft just gives up:

Text edits ranges must never overlap, that means no part of the original document must be manipulated by more than one edit.

I hope once I finish this damn kitchen renovation I've been working on for months now I will be more compelled to cook some healthier stuff.
Until now I have never lived in a place with the tools nor the space to cook something decent, it's depressing to make space every time you have to cook.

An official VSCode extension for Expert LS has been released. You can be a 30th person to download it.

#elixir

Very nice!

There is no connector for my electrical conduit and the light fixture, all the commercially available options look horrible.
Then I remembered I have free will and a 3d printer. The connector is printing right now.

Adding features is so easy compared to making the system properly stable, in particular when it must run in any environment

Reporting back, I got a lot of the issues I mentioned above mostly resolved doing this. I copied a bunch of github.com/zig-whatwg/c... into my personal agents.md file and I'm following its example to add more

Still leaves a lot to be desired on non trivial tasks but it's now usable for tedious work
