What if you gave it an image comparison tool that would xor two screenshots to check its work?


I've tried doing stuff similar to the author, and it generally does not get better after the first attempt. I even tried supplying Claude with a delta view, ie. the difference in per-pixel output, along with the reference and current result, yet it was impossible for it to understand and remember the actual differences.


Fusionbox | Python + TypeScript Engineers | United States| Full-time | REMOTE (Legal to work in the US) We're a software engineering consultancy that builds enterprise software the right way. We negotiate the right to open source all our client code, maintain a handful of popular libraries, and our engineers contribute to Django core. We sponsor PyCon, DjangoCon, and Django Girls because we're invested in the ecosystem we build on.

We're looking for software engineers who value software design, system architecture, and collaboration. You should be comfortable with about half of these areas and eager to learn the rest: web application security, relational database design (PostgreSQL, beyond "SELECT *..."), Django internals, React, and distributed systems. What you'll actually work on: complex state machines for financial workflows, multi-tenant architectures with row-level security, custom database functions when the ORM isn't enough, and React frontends that handle real-time data without being a mess of useEffect hooks.

We're a small team where you'll own features end-to-end (database design to React components) and have opportunities to shape technical decisions. You'll get paid to write source code with a team that practices empathy and values work-life balance. If you've ever wished your job involved more elegant state machines and fewer marketing landing pages, let's talk: [email protected].

I'd be curious what statemachine libs you're using. The open source side of python statemachines is pretty limited (though python-statemachine is rather nice and its repo owner is a pleasure to work with).

Something on the typescript side? I've seen that union types can be rather elegant for representing the structure of a statemachine.


That's not a computable function. Function equality (x==K) is undecidable.


And that's covered in the last chapter of To Mock a Mockingbird (this submission prompted me to pull it off the shelf this morning).


Just postulate function extensionality and move on with life. :D

Can you solve this in general without doing integer linear programming? How else would you know how to find the lowest index greater than the current? In the field GF(2), using 0 might not minimize.


You can stream CSV without writing it to a disk.


What would be the point in that?


COPY is way faster than INSERT, at least in PG.


Did the switch? Does postgres use a VM now?


> Did the switch? Does postgres use a VM now?

Yes (to me my comment seemed to make that clear, but...).

Didn't really remember how long ago that was, so I dug up the commit. Main commit went in ~6.5 years ago. There were lots of related changes but the main commit is https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit...


It’s exactly what transactions are for. A nested transaction is called a savepoint, which sqlite does support.
