Well, actually, the funny story is Cursed is actually three different compilers: 1. It was first written in C 2. Then it was rewritten in Rust 3. Finally, it was rewritten in Zig All part of research, learning how to drive these models and

And yet, the original post, which has been on the front page of Hacker News for 18 hours, is based on techniques from my blog that you're degrading.

Yes, but the cooked thing is you just run more loops with the right prompts and you can resolve defective outcomes. It's terrifying

Yeah, I totally get it man. Like when I discovered these techniques back in February, it really spooked me. And I guess 5-6 months later it's starting to become known even though I've been publishing full details on how to do this

Probably the second. I first discovered this around about March. It's kind of hilarious.

Nice. Any chance you could put in some attributions and credits in your paper? https://orcid.org/0009-0007-3955-9994

It gets kind of philosophical really fast. What does it mean when software can be automated through a bash loop? (Not to 100%, to 80%. What does that mean to software outsourcing in the consulting industry?)

It's both serious and a joke. The seriousness is that it works (to point) and the implications to our profession as software developers. The joke is just how stupid it is. Refer to the original story link above for proof of outcomes.

It is, isn't it mate? Shit, I stumbled upon Ralph back in February and it shook me to the core.

Strangely enough, TLA+ and other formal proofs work very well for driving Ralph.

It's why I called it Ralph. Because it's just not all there, but for some strange reason it gets 80% of there pretty well. With the right observational skills, you can tune it into 81, then 82, then 83, then 84. But there's a

Yep, once you've got the base coding agent (as in the workshop above), you can use it to build another agent or anything really. You start from that kernel and you can bootstrap upwards from that point forward and build anything.

Yep. What you need to do is set its direction and then blow wind into its sails.
