Absolutely this. Plus, LLMs are surprisingly adept (in my experience) at handling gnarly syntactic corners of most widespread strongly typed languages, esp. C++ and Rust.

Solid writeup - Actually an enjoyable read about solving a problem with zero documentation but plenty of tenacity.

True words. This post is actually a very good enumeration of the status quo for this debacle.

Open source quantum hardware with Quantum Village in donated lab space at a London university. Pushing the boundary for Entropy Loop, a QRNG to make it faster and more enteopy, and the Uncut Gem redesign, our NVC diamond based quantum magnetometer.

Cute, and quite something if the sim-to-real pipeline is as smooth as we all might hope.

As we automate more and more, and see claims of "one shotting" 80+yo maths conjectures, documenting and sharing what didn't work is surely going to get more and more important...

The Graph memory topology is an interesting idea... As is the idea of pushing all the nonlinear stuff into writes, leaving state evolution essentially linear (at least, by my read)
