   Text editors/IDEs have simple autocomplete and the ability to do some expansion, e.g. a for loop with placeholders to fill in. Those work and are still useful. JetBrains also has local line-based LLM models for various languages. With

   I don't use AI for the sake of it, I use it where and when it is useful. For example: 1. advanced autocomplete -- if you have or paste the structure of a JSON or other format, or a class fields, it is good at autocompleting things like

   Ah yes, that's what I was thinking of. It's been a while since I've worked with COM.

   COM is interesting as it implements interfaces using the C++ vtable layout, which can be done in C. Dynamic COM (DCOM) is used to provide interoperability with Visual Basic. You can also access .NET/C# objects/interfaces via COM.

   It's also useful to wrap/tag IDs in structured types. That makes it easier to avoid errors when there are multiple type parameters such as in the Microsoft graph API.

   The text doesn't use an `f`. If you copy from e.g. the 1700 passage you get `ſ` not `f`.

   I can comprehend most of the text back to 1300, if slower than Modern/Present Day English. It helps to know the old letter forms, and some of how Shakespearean (Early Modern), Middle, and Old English work. It also helps sounding it out

    One of the annoying things about having a living standard is that it is difficult to implement a conforming version as additional updates means that you are no longer conforming. Versioned standards allow you to know that you are compliant

    AI in this sense means using Machine Learning (ML)/Neural Networks (NN) to convert the text (or phonemes) to audio. There are effectively two approaches to voice synthesis: time-domain and pitch-domain. In time-domain synthesis you car

    Kotlin does have interop with Java, but is limited by either the features not existing in Java (non-nullable types) or behave differently in Java (records, etc.). You have to explicitly annotate that a Kotlin data class is a Java record due

    I view the relationship between Kotlin and Java like that between C++ and C. The two-way interop is one of Kotlin's advantages as it makes porting code from Java to Kotlin easier, or using existing Java libraries. For example, you don&

    This is also an issue with non-AI and non-Lean proofs. Andrew Wiles' initial Fermat's Last Theorem proof initially had an error in it. That was spotted by peer review, fixed, and an updated proof was submitted.
