Funny how AI took all the jobs, but not from automation

That’s okay. I’m there with you too with about the same cumulative.

I measure my own projects by the enjoyment I got out of them. No sense in chasing validation from others when ones only metric will forever be what’s in their own control.

I had exactly this way of thinking last year and began specializing myself: github.com/glouw/ensim4

I reckon moving forward software will became an applied tool to the applied sciences. I mean, it always has been, but the barrier to entry has lowered for the easily verifiable, and that is programming, and not the problem being solved


The majority of humans are average, as is the training set

They use a curated training set.

Curated by average people in most domains.

Ceiling and floor casting is tricky, and pretty expensive at times. Getting vertical panning to work too is tricky but well worth it.


With a couple of function pointers you can climb precedence with just functions:

  parse_left_to_right(with(), is_token()) {
    left = with()
    while(is_token()) {
      right = with()
      left = operate(left, right, operator)
    }
    ret left;
  }

  p0() { ret lex digit or ident; };
  p1() { ret parse_left_right(p0, is_mul); };
  p2() { ret parse_left_right(p1, is_add); };
... and so on for all operators


Some of us work on critical systems

Well, destroying the entirety of the Gulf certainly is one way to make the world go renewable. Many are going to struggle, though
