Plenty of easy configs for them too. Lazyvim has been pretty batteries included and easy to modify for me and I'm definitely the type that did not read much of the docs

Ngl it would be kinda fun for everyone to meme with each other on slop mode in slop threads

Just said something similar myself in another thread. I'm either writing things by hand (and using LLMs for research, or double checking an idea), or having an LLM spit out something I treat as an external dependency. Its still too ted

If they could be cheap+fast and not try to do too much, that's a good spot for me. I don't use the smarter models as much because of cost and because they're still not good enough to let loose on a lot of problems. For assist

Making lots of things and learning what works. It's good to read and find ideas to grow, but a volume of work is the most important thing. You'll discover a lot of the ideas on your own out of need. Keeping an eye out for tools an

If my program crashes without it, that's a semantic difference no?

I'm considering this for my language but it's a lot more complex to implement (especially with today's ecosystems) and I keep wondering if it's worth it.

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

by lilbigdoot 1mo ago
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 solved multiple related problems in different places and star

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 OCaml inspired language (I am on a sabbatical) and used

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 using harnesses because they are good for when something

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

by lilbigdoot 2mo ago
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.

by lilbigdoot 2mo ago
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 my compilers backends because of the reified generics.

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 regularly. I specifically use them because they are bet

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

by lilbigdoot 2mo ago
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 problem or there may be a design issu

by lilbigdoot 2mo ago
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 kind of mentality from proponents

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) and nothing. If LLMs are as good as people say they are, I sh

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 building processes where the desired outcome is being discover
