I love this, I have a friend who has a 3d printer and we started looking at the repo for this project to print the mechanical shift register and play with a physical toy representation of storing a bit of data: https://github.com/mattmoses/MechanicalComputingSystems

Edit: I love that other people are thinking about this around now

Thank you for this - it dissolved an assumption I had about vscode ssh - that it was similar to Tramp

I found the discussion around inference scaling with the 'Wait' hack so surreal. The fact such an ingeniously simple method can impact performance makes me wonder how many low-hanging fruit we're still missing. So weird to think that improvements on a branch of computer science is boiling down to conjuring the right incantation words, how you even change your mindset to start thinking this way?

I think a skill here is learning a bias for experimentation and accepting the results one finds. Also the book "Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned" showcases the kind of open ended play that results in people discovering stuff like this.

The reasoning steps look reasonable and the interface is simple and beautiful, though Deepthought-8b fails to disambiguate the term "the ruliad" as the technical concept from Wolfram physics, from this company's name Ruliad. Maybe that isn't in the training data, because it misunderstood the problem when asked "what is the simplest rule of the ruliad?" and went on to reason about the company's core principles. Cool release, waiting for the next update.

Waaat :D. This is so nice. I used to use python-ls[0] for similar, but something about it that I can't recall broke for me and it's no longer maintained. Adding to my debugging arsenal which primarily consists of snoop[1] and pdbpp. Only thing I'd like for wat now is maybe an ipy widget for even easier object exploration in Jupyter.

I'm also really appreciating the base64 exec hack. All my years in Python I never thought of or came across it until now. I'll totally be using it for some things :).

Seems like if you add more "a"s to W[a..]t you slide a scale from disgusted to awed to comical.
