Hey fedi friends!

@vaurora Well done! I am now going to do some cleaning in the kitchen and the bathroom.

@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 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.

@vaurora just finished my never search alone job search council meeting, now to organize the network wiring project parts to ease the better half's need for no clutter

@vaurora @danielcberman congratulations on getting out of here
