"prompt engineering"

As Claude wrote me a code for parsing html chunks via regexes, and as it duplicates a bunch of functions, instead of abstracting, I now come closer to the suspicion that bots can'd abstract, and it's a chronic defect. Meaning, the real programming will still require good programmers. For how long?

A little proof of concept I've been working on, it's a version of Bluesky that you can run locally, even on your laptop, that pulls just the data you care about from the firehose, indexes it, and provides you an interface to view and interact with posts.

Friends asked me to restore the code in myjavatools.com That code was written for Java version 1.3.1 to 6, and it was only running on Windows. But ok, if someone wants it, here it is. Also, I have to thank Claude that helped me a lot, for just about $10, in two days. github.com/vpatryshev/m...

A friend is building an app to help immigrants detained by ICE. They're a web app dev & need help with the mobile app. Anyone have experience building/deploying mobile apps and interested in volunteering time to help a new app with a good cause? Feel free to share with others or boost for reach.

How come there seems to be no monad for ThreadLocal in Scala? Or?

I like the term "semantic pareidolia". It's a very powerful and underappreciated concept.

Just read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6... The article states that what is not provable in natural numbers are still "truths" - because, I guess, they are true in other axiomatic systems. I'm pretty much tired of these XIX-century style beliefs, like Euclides' Fifth, etc. What do you think?
