I played that game!! Although I was 10 years old and barely knew any English. After some playing, I always got a "go home" note on my windshield, I never found out why.

I was dragging to rotate it before I realized that it was 2D...

Are there really two principal components or is that primarily your choice of visualization?

At some point, OpenAI is going to cheat and hardcode a pelican on a bicycle into the model. 3D modelling has Suzanne and the teapot; LLMs will have the pelican.

I don't know. Somewhere in the eighties, people started to complain that no one could understand all the assembly anymore.

What if kontext runs under the same user as Claude? Could it in principle inspect the kontext process and extract the key from memory?

Could you apply this to speed up cherrypy?

How does your reply relate to my comment?

I was initially very excited about this, but looking at the code: https://github.com/yamafaktory/formal/blob/4f95787ceeabb0f09...

To extract properties to verify... you call Claude??

No, more like letting an agent interact safely with an HPC frontend. No cloud, no Windows

I wanted to ask almost this question, then saw that it is on #1 right now.

My use case is ssh. I would like to stick my private key into a local Docker container, have a ssh-identical cli that reverse proxies into the container, and have some rules about what ssh commands the container may proxy or not.

Does anyone know of something like this?

...and then your AI deleted the repo? It gives a 404

I am sorry, I am not a real computer scientist and I find it difficult to find the right term. With "sufficiently expressive", I mean things like dependent types and refinement types, that can express the constraint on a unit vector.

It seems to me that this is more or less the same thing, but Monte Carlo. Like MCMC vs symbolic Bayesian inference.

I am actually a research engineer paid by the French government. They take digital sovereignty pretty serious over here, which is sometimes good, sometimes less so.

Definitely the right call on Windows, though. Even my parents (in their mid-seventies) moved to Linux this year.

This is the first time I hear of property-based testing, and I am intrigued. What is the difference between this and a sufficiently expressive structural type system?

It is all about API contracts, right?

After the first run, you have a script and an API: the agent discovery mechanism is a detail. If the script is small enough, and the task custom enough, you could simply add the script to the context and say "use this, adapt if needed".

Or am I misunderstanding you?

Yes, exactly. There are some tools that are used over and over again. But apart from that, dirt ramps are the norm in scientific computing. Once it gets you over the 2 meter wall of publication, it's disposable.

I would like the AI to attach a confidence interval that the answer is "Yes" rather than "No". AlphaFold does this very well, but LLMs... not so much.

Natural language is ambiguous. If both input and output are in a formal language, then determinism is great. Otherwise, I would prefer confidence intervals.

The README is phenomenal, it really tells the story of how the game was built.
