@simonw Coding agents are also great at writing AST walkers.
My biggest gripe with writing AST walkers manually is potentially having to case through every node type. Coding agents trivialize solving this problem.
@simonw re: simonwillison.net/guides/agentic…
One point that you missed that I think more people should be thinking about now is the value of static analysis and lint rules on code quality.
One of the best ways I've ensured that model output variance stays within bounds is by keeping the variety of bad code that can be written to a minimum.
You can simply create an agent skill for introducing new lint rules, or make AST walkers for detecting code smells, and then enforce that these checks be run on every commit.
@radokirov probably depends on when a good enough “programming DSL” exists for Lean. I know there are projects like cslib.io, and even the recent github.com/verse-lab/velv… - but still seems much less than general Math support in Lean.
Velvet, our automated Dafny-style verifier embedded into Lean, has moved to a new repository as a standalone Lean library:
github.com/verse-lab/velv…
Give it a try!
@AlterranIRL regular languages can be solved with O(1) space in a TM so i feel like this is a moot point - i think what you're asking for is a language with a lower bound space complexity of lg lg n as well right?
well, if everyone used this tool and everyone’s SAT scores improved, then the scores would remain the same I think due to fitting to the normal distribution - I suspect it will become more bimodal due to there being groups of people who take advantage of these tools, and those who don’t
Ok this is really cool
I had an HEIC image (Apple's Image format) for a component I wanted to use with my Raspberry Pi, but Claude is unable to examine anything other than JPG. So, it installed a python library for converting the image to JPG, all from the desktop app!
I wonder if it did this locally or on a sandbox somewhere.
@patrickc@cursor_ai i’d say opus 4.5 was probably the coolest ai breakthrough since gpt-4 - maybe you wanted to replace “since gpt-4” with “since opus 4.5”?
