tbh I still miss their scoping functions like `with` and infix calls

the demon crept through the window and said to the man, "your life will repeat! exactly the same! even this moment!"

the man got to his knees and gnashed his teeth in agony

the demon said, "lmao, you do this every time ya little bitch"

in that moment the man was enlightened

with 5.4 I no longer feel compelled to speak purely corporate

I can let my true self out: 50% corporate, 50%... well, whatever this is

I can't believe this is real programming in 2026. computers are so much fun

mixed integer linear programming

aka the funnest videogame Gnon has put on this red blood-soeaked Earth

aka linear programming, but some of the variables have integrality constraints which makes it NP hard in the general case

I can imagine a future where, "this software had soundness bugs, it and it was normal" would elicit the same reaction as, "math papers routinely had errors in their core statements, and it was normal"

the austere formal purification of all code beckons
it will be glorious

adding a bunch of exporters/importers/etc yadda yadda stuff that's trivial to vibecode. the core takes some care to get right still.

never

it's `libgrid`: basically a MILP frontend

it compiles a DSL like pic related into a mixed integer linear problem. meant to target problems that are

a) on a grid (hence the name)
b) that have "small" entities that interact "locally"

and optimizes around that

IT WORKED TO BEAT THE LEVEL! LIBGRID WORKS!

caveat: I bounded the grid to 11x9, but it didn't use two rows so I don't think it was binding

I've waited for this for a long time
level 2 next

almost a two-day cook

fixed the max belt length and coord-based injects

this should be the for-real optimal solution to the first belt challenge. if it's bugged I'm gonna flip.

we need formulation surgery. this is unworkably long.

... these would be intercepted. Infallibly. Many a casual viewing area faced the "Fireworks Zone". Where the assurances of the governance AI had failed; namely, that that this was surely (though it was still locked out, formally) a stable game theoretic equilibrium by the Defense Systems...

"... the defense systems of Jersey City Complex 3 and The Ziggurat that towered over the paved-in bay would still on occasion exchange salvos of hypersonic missiles. Red and blue streaks would light up the sky. The day was hard to predict, but the count was not: always exactly 7...

not quite perfect, but I'm ready to wrap this up

tongues will be up soon

could you elaborate?

this actually piques my interest quite intensely. I assume the sauce is in the backing store and indexing. do you use embedding of any kind or do you stop short of that?

I really like how 5.4 speaks, actually

way less stilted corporatese -- it finally uses rich visuals and clearly stylistically riffs on the accumulated cues from my various agent files

AND IT VOLUNTEERS TO DELETE CODE

some middling results from the math people had me worried, but I'm quite pleased
