it's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive test suite written by somebody else, 5 different models, a megawatt-hour of energy, a swimming pool full of water, and a month of spare time of an extremely senior engineer

POPL has been very productive and fun this year on a personal level. I've met a whole lot of cool folks and I got a lot of pointers to follow up on during my poster session :)

Fingers crossed I'm there next year!

@joomy i could see people nod and at least one that was visibly surprised that plugging "Co" everywhere just worked. So congrats on the successful talk :3

I'm presenting a poster at the SRC and if I'm lucky a presentation too.

re: "We should instead allow *anything* with a DOI, e.g. a paper uploaded to Zenodo" heck just upload it to your *own* site with a @rogue_scholar DOI! https://anil.recoil.org/notes/principles-for-collective-knowledge#p1-permanence-aka-dois-for-all-with-the-rogue-scholar

Getting Grok to "apologize" for generating non-consensual porn is like getting Excel to apologize for generating accounting fraud.
