This is just another insufferable comment in your post history.

I guess my feeling is that formal verification _even in the LLM era_ still feels heavy-handed/too expensive for too little value for a lot of the problems I'm working on.

My observation has been that there are a lot of personal styles to engaging with the LLMs that work, and "hold the hand" vs "in-depth plan" vs "combination" doesn't really matter. There is some minimum lev

This was the bummer to me when I tried it. I liked the bug-ridden classic experience before the notoriety patch. I recently tried https://www.classicuo.eu/ ClassicUO, and the nostalgia was incredible. Granted it is not play

It's a bad faith question or one so deeply uninformed that parent is correct. It only takes a couple clicks to see the ideas of the people who are "just asking questions".

Can you give me an example (real or imagined) where you're dipping into a bit of light formal verification? I don't think the problems I work on require the weight of formal verification, but I'm open to being wrong.

Congratulations! I don't know how busy player-run shards are these days, but I look forward to exploring this once you've gotten it a bit further.

This reminds me of Origin Systems and Ultima Online. The number of player-run shards over the years promising Classic UO gameplay and the number of player hours spent on them is enormous.

Did you just arrogantly suggest that my LLM should use exceptions for control flow? Funny stuff!

What happens when value Z is not >= X? What happens when value Z doesn't exist, but values J and K do? What should be done when... I hear what you're saying, but I think it's going to be entertaining watching people go &qu

My work has turned into churning out a PR, marking it as a draft so no one reviews it, and walking away. I come back after thinking about what it produced and usually realize it missed something or that the implications of some minor change

This goes back to my early days on the internet, but: I do not use blocklists or ignore features except as an absolute last resort. Ignoring the problem is not a solution. In other ways I think it just makes the problem worse. If the person

Does anyone in these comments have any tips for would-be solar farmers or people who are generally interested in being part of building out the future of our grid? I'd like to get my hands dirty. I'm talking about getting into 5-1

This is a tradeoff. There is value in being able to do upgrades to lines above ground. Underground is not automatically better. Like most things, it depends.

The level of exposition required for a lot of edits you might want to make is what stops this from being a primary method of interaction. If I have to express >= AND <= AND NOT == OR ... then I may as well write the thing myself.

I agree that Claude does this stuff. I also think the Chinese menus of options it provides are weak in their imagination, which means that for thoroughly specified problem spaces with reference implementations you're in good shape, but
