longhaul

Am working on an iPhone app and impressed with how well Claude is able to generate decent/working code with prompts in plain English. I don’t have previous experience in building apps or swift but have a C++ background. Working in smaller chunks and incrementally adding features rather than a large prompt for the whole app seems more practical, is easier to review and build confidence.

Adding/prompting features one by one, reviewing code and then testing the resulting binary feels like the new programming workflow

Prompt/REview/Test - PRET.

How do you deal with malware/etc ?. Are there reliable products available ?

This was my thesis as well but only insiders can confirm how much of it is true

Funny story…I used to whistle and imitate birds calls. Some of them used to go along and keep making the same sound along with me (more like I was making the same sound as them). Very few others, after repeating a few times, popped on me. Happened enough times for it to not be a coincidence

Read a paper long time ago, something to do with increase of sulfur in the brain

Wasn’t Joyent set up as a Solaris first stack alternative after Sun’s acquisition ?. Meaning they were Solaris first and the solutions built on top came after.

Why can’t browsers/servers just store a standard English dictionary and communicate via indexes?. Anything that isn’t in the dictionary can be sent raw. I’ve always had this thought but don’t see why it isn’t implemented. Might get a bit more involved with other languages but the principle remains the same.

Thinking about it a bit more, we are doing this at the character level- a Unicode table, so why can’t we lookup words or maybe even common sentences ?

QA is what SEs will be doing - testing , followed by feedback to LLMs. Why can’t just product folks do this eventually w/o SEs?

Agree, I used to say that documenting a program precisely and comprehensively ends up being code. We either need a DSL that can specify at a higher level or use domain specific LLMs.

Long time ago, I had the same problem while ray tracing using Monte Carlo techniques. Using Mersenne Twister fixed the clustering and grid like randomization. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister
