I like how explicit How To Design Programs is about the process that takes place in my head but that I never named. "IDK all the details right now but this function surely will access the three numbers in the input list. Put those accesses in there surrounded with ..., deal with the rest later"

it is impossible to generate code comments from source code because good comments are definitionally based on things not in the source code (intent, counterfactuals, experiments, etc.)

I already hinted at it a few times. I’m building a new development environment for macOS. The current focus is on Haskell support, but it can also do Agda & Swift. I only just started beta testing with external testers, so there are still rough edges. Interested in giving the beta a spin? Send a DM!

To show the absence of bugs you need a proof that works for all inputs. Failing the proof doesn't necessarily give you insight into WHAT input is wrong, or even if there is a wrong input at all! While a failing test guarantees you know at least one buggy input.

applying for jobs again

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully. You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers. Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

I liked it when my social media was "here's the latest little entertaining thing I've done to Idris" rather than roughly 50% "Please pay attention enough that we don't slide into fascism" but I suppose that's where we are. MiniIdris 3 is almost a thing. 9-5, Mon-Fri, I still try to care about that.

I love uniqueness proofs that go: "Assume a,b satisfy P. Then stuff happens. Therefore a=b." It's like you're saying to the reader: Ha! Fool that you are, you unconsciously assumed that a and b were distinct. But they were the same the whole time! How can you ever show your face in public again?
