Ahh I absolutely love this idea of trying to infuse more emotional and fuzzy attributes to see what the LLM comes up with! When I broke out the layout and style components I was thinking of being able to change the whole site aesthetic from

Yeah, totally agree that something related to this will likely be the next paradigm. I've been putting together experiments in different directions trying to find that thing that's missing but haven't really found a killer us

Ahh yeah - so I've found prototypal inheritance (or what Hofstadter calls The Prototype Principle) is a useful way to think about what's going on with in-context learning and few shot prompting and ways to take it further. If you

Very interesting to see this here! I've been having a lot of conversations recently with people about LLMs and how a prototypal inheritance-like approach to working with them seems to be surprisingly effective. Especially for writing c

I've been working with Ruby + AI for the last year and couldn't agree more with this post. It feels like there are so many brand new ways to build software with LLMs that have yet to be discovered and I find Ruby's flexibilit

I really like this idea, and the stock market example looks really interesting. Will definitely try this out!

Hah that's a good question. I haven't really thought about that or explored type systems that would interact with this pattern. Would be really interested in reading about it though!

For me, what really made it click and think about how different it is from class-based inheritance was an old Steve Yegge post: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/10/universal-design-pat... It is a really long p

Ah you know what, I think I am. I guess I was stuck thinking about Monads rather than the lambda calculus. Thank you so much!

Shot in the dark here, but I vaguely remember a blog post that used birds in an explanation for monads and I can't seem to find it again. It had hand-drawn birds, and I think it started out with the identity monad, with the bird repres

I've noticed prolog being mentioned here and a bunch of other places, but haven't really found any good introductory books on the language. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I've been thinking about this idea for a while and love the reimplementation idea. I really want to start live-streaming myself coding (or pair programming) and have been trying to come up with some ideas that would end up being intere

I had a class in high school that mostly covered the basics, though I wouldn't say I "learned" it. It wasn't until around 15+ years later and after I started working as a programmer and decided to work through a Programm

One trick that worked for me (pack+ a day smoker for 5+ years) was not exactly calling it "quitting". I had tried quitting a bunch of times, but every time I had a lapse in will power and had a cigarette, the justification to star

I've really enjoyed your writing on your blog at http://akkartik.name which I found through your guests posts at Ribbonfarm. Have you been writing anywhere else about your work or thoughts about readable programs?

Interesting to see this here, I had this idea a while back and have been discussing it with people before I go on validating/invalidating it. In my mind anyway, the idea is something like https://railslts.com/ but for
