@vaurora Attacking technical debt at work. (YAY) Also, it’s a WFH day so I’m trying to figure out what to do for breakfast besides go make myself a cup of tea.

@vaurora Possibly putting a little too much effort into trying to get a GPU compute kernel to behave itself and stop spilling registers to memory. Profiling shows I'm leaving lots of performance on the table though. Can't have that!

@vaurora Good plan (although I'm currently also heating up some soup for lunch, but I'm also tidying the living room a bit, which is very necessary after 5 full days of having N at home.)
@wynke I finished reviewing my comments!!

@vaurora eating lunch at a resort hotel with my youngest daughter. About half way through a week vacation. Unclear if it was a good idea taking my eldest, who is in autistic burnout. Some good moments, some bad. -

@vaurora French exam, similar to FCE in English

@vaurora It is possible that I got distracted and baked a cake. (Surely I can clean the bathroom while the cake bakes...)

@vaurora I’ve got pneumonia! So mostly that’s what’s going on. Yesterday was rough.
But also I’ve been thinking about Dijkstra’s essay on the futility of natural language programming and how I still think that’s true even when you have LLMs. Some of the programming is more natural language-ish, just as C is easier to read than assembly, and smalltalk is easier to read than C, but fundamentally, you will always need a symbolic language to do hard things with any hope of determinism.

@vaurora And, I successfully did just that, then did the dishes and made the bed and put in a load of laundry. And then took 3/4 of the finished cake to the hackerspace.
