I'd think an RPC would be the cleaner pattern, but I don't know how to deploy a service-oriented Minecraft server.

I played with Clojure just a bit in 2014 because I wanted to write GUIs in Om, and this gave me a seriously warped habit of calling React.el('div',...) for a while. Sorry not sorry. I'm used to using TDD for fast feedback as

Higher order, yes, but as these coordinates certainly contain less information, it's possible they contain only noise.

I was, personally, hoping to see a sort of "spiraling down" towards the answer or pathfinding like IDA*[0], but I suppose what we're looking at isn't too dissimilar from A* or Djikstra's if you squint. I suspect you

Recall isn't that simple. Some memories need to be jogged out with colors, smells, or sounds. You probably remember more than you first think, but it would be an involved activity to access. Maybe a worthwhile one.

Wow, and this posture doesn't apply to junior developers, ie a good abstraction is needed to avoid overwhelming the human "context window." But it is a shame--and possibly an existential risk--that we then begin to write co

Does Ollama offer a GUI? I don't think they do. I use them because they run as a systemd service with a convenient HTTP API. That's been extremely helpful for switching between GUIs. I also like their model orgazation scheme, and
