today we're working on fiducials, (non-authoritative) generated overlays, and more proof coverage non-authoritative only because I'm trying to batch all the remaining physical-acquisition work into one session that I'm procrastinating on because the concrete kitchen floor is uncomfortable
today we are writing a planar homography kernel chat, what have I gotten myself into
the problem with building really tall cat furniture is when one of the cats climbs all the way to the sky bed and then does a barf in it
the langsec-slogan (langsec.org/occupy) version of this is "prototype -> verify -> rewrite -> certify" repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed don't ship the prototype. don't trust the rewrite. verify what matters, then certify that it survived
Occupy Babel!

observation over the last few days of, well, vibe coding: I think this possible future is much closer than we expected and it's now a matter of coming up with legible workflows for people who haven't ever considered software verification before rn I'm coming up with a legible workflow for myself

literally blocked by my own lack of hand strength smdh drill-assisted rivnut setting tool arriving tuesday in the meantime I suppose there are proofs to check
I majored in english, so there are a lot of them. I'll limit it to three high school: lawrence kohn, who let me write fiction for several projects literature: dr. lorraine stock at the university of houston creative writing: dr. scott, my formal poetry professor at uh

as promised, the conversation where chatgpt 5.6-sol proves that there does exist a parsing expression grammar that recognizes all palindromes the proof machinery is v. weighty but it's all spelled out explicitly it got long but this is part 1: motivation and discovery chatgpt.com/share/6a6420...
Check out this chat
Here's a chat someone thought you'd want to see.

still chewing away at this, btw. a proof is nice and everything, but if there is indeed a palindrome PEG, I want to see it, so I'm talking the model through generating it occasionally it gets stuck, but we're down to five steps remaining
got basically nothing done today. it's time to start welding, but the "tools that can kill me" anxiety is too damn high if anyone has a pep talk in them I could sure use one
decided to join in the chatgpt counterexamples to open math problems fun, and while I need to sit down and check its work, we might have found a proof that the language of palindromes can be recognized by a parsing expression grammar just a proof, not a grammar, but I'm having it make a grammar now
these little guys will be what hold the machine feet on as soon as I've detached them from the plate, welded the captive nuts on, and welded them to the ends of the legs if they're the joint between the legs and the feet, does that make them ankles?
can we please get back to this kind of silly international drama
'It is regrettable that foreign companies are taking work away from Belgian businesses.' Belgian Fireworks Federation said.
decided I would rather cut out the gusset plates for the leg with something easier to control than an angle grinder, so there's a jigsaw and rail system arriving tomorrow in the meantime I've plotted all the cuts on the steel and drilled relief holes at the inside corners of the Ts and Ls
