it's a stereotype for a reason lol

ayooo any NYC homies wanna go climbing together? Need a climbing buddy to make sure I go regularly

But did you know that a monad is really just a monoid object in the monoidal category of endofunctors on the category of types of your favorite language? reply SkiFire13 2 hours ago | root | parent | next [–] Isn't that just the definition? reply wholinator2 1 hour ago | root | parent | next [–] I think they're making a joke

average interaction with a category theorist

I have a nuclear reaction encoding defined as ``` struct NuclearReaction { int explosionPower; // explosion power struct NuclearReaction *next; // next nuclear reaction } *NuclearReactionSequence; ``` Doctor evil has realised through his time machine he can run the nuclear reaction in reverse. Write a function that takes a nuclear reaction sequence and updates in place to do the reaction in reverse.

making programming assignments that students can't just ask ChatGPT for by exploiting the safety checks lol

Interesting project! Let me look at what you have so far and understand the codebase. Entered plan mode. I respond: I've literally nothing lil bro. That's up to you.

lil bro thinks we're working together on this one

/jkjk

it was just claude code max subscription for a month, so $200, and $20 for the VPS on which they ran. (though this isn't a very consistent metric because it changes based on the whims of the frontier providers --- this week anthropic changed some internals and now they run out of tokens wayy faster)

too much for you to afford lil bro

We did consider doing the compiler from something like CakeML to WASM instead, given that both languages would have formal semantics.

Maybe that might have been better? I guess by targeting JS we're capturing an even more open ended problem which might be reflective of how these LLMs would be used.

Ah, for setting up the project, I did give it the CompCert pdf, which it used to I think setup the pipeline, and the relations (though initially they were uninhabited). JS has so many warts and new language features compared to C, I would suspect that more compcert access wouldn't have helped.

yeah! I think part of the motivation for digging into this was there's so much uncertainty about the capabilities of agents right now. By throwing 4 agents at it, I was half believing that they'd complete the proof, but after digging into it, they mostly just went round in circles for the two weeks.

oooh agda drama? what's going on?

Basis Blog post, Building an Unverified Compiler with Agents Four agents spent 14 days and 93,000 lines of Lean building a verified JS-to-WASM compiler from scratch. The compiler ran; the proofs didn't close. Paris metro line 14 has run driverless since 1998. It's control software was built with the B method and formally verified before the first train ran.

New blog post, CompCert is (NOT) obsolete. Software verification remains out of reach for frontier models.

The plan was to write a total of twenty-five essays, the work divided evenly among the three men.

In the end, they wrote eighty-five essays, in the span of six months.

John Jay got sick after writing five.

James Madison wrote twenty-nine.

Hamilton wrote the other fifty-one!

I never had a chance

Quote from Dr. GOPI I don't know if its stolen or not, BUT this mod is AWESOME. I've always hated the dark-green colour of grass and have always hidden away in deserts but sometimes they are EXTREMELY far away and this is kidan annoying. I'm downloading this great mod now! ...Also another mod idea, how about returning the feature of only being able to spawn on sand during world gen from the old days? a simple mod no doubt (made a couple of mods myself) but very useful nonetheless

discussion on discord prompted me to dig into my old minecraftforums account and I couldn't find my mods, but I did find my account!

Funny that my username was Dr then lol though maybe a decade too early

Thanks! It was a fun result and had some nice findings!

great paper! The PLEX algorithm seems cool.

I love how the stupid acm pdf viewer breaks the "press back on browser to jump through a pdf"

you've got to take claude's output and then paste it into a competing model and frame it as a dumb idea by a naive undergrad that you'd like to tear down

I thought the entire vision of the hazel project was to create an interactive notebook replacement? can't you just... roll your own?
