Writing unit tests for my random number generation library continues to be difficult. My tests are failing because the bias in the distribution exceeds my expectations, but I'm wondering whether I should just repeat the test more times and permit it to exceed expectations some of the time (as long as it does it symmetrically/rarely/etc. My gut tells me that second-order expectations aren't any better than first-order expectations, but another part of me disagrees.
Thinking more as I write this (writing is thinking): second-order tests can at least give me better info to work with towards fixing things I think! So maybe I'll invest in them.

I'm porting a bunch of code that delves heavily into index math from Python to Lua for my incremental/reversible RNG library. In Lua, indices start at 1. I have never in my life been more glad to have a robust suite of unit tests, because the number of off-by-one errors I'm introducing is astronomical.

This is a pretty good example to demonstrate why people are often shocked at the inference cost of #vibe #coding tools. I've been playing with #eca in

Anyone know anything about solidagent.io?
They appear to be an EU hosted AI agent - in the sense that they have the trained models on their own platforms, rather than using an API so presumably queries etc stay on their servers.
Their statements of #privacy etc look good and the test queries I posted (on quite complex #coding problems) were very impressive, but I don't think it's strictly FOSS otherwise.
Would be happy to hear if others have good/bad experience with them as they seem quite new.

Just finished up final polish on first release of my anarchy RNG library in Lua! Have you ever wanted an incremental or reversible shuffle? I've got one for you :)

Claude Code Can Debug Low-level Cryptography
Surprisingly (to me) Claude Code debugged my new ML-DSA implementation faster than I would have, finding the non-obvious low-level issue that was making Verify fail.

job done. context left: 0 😏
That was spot on 😊

I did it guys... i used chatgpt in a productive way.
I've been banging my head against the wall trying to get some perl XPath stuff to work... I asked it a specific question with the XML i had, and what it produced works. And it's reasonably succinct.
I stand ready to be flogged.
