It seems like they're turned into a AI application builder site where you can only submit prompts?

Honestly probably, since I understand them the best.

My first thought was "oh they're going to need to add a UI feature to allow me to click and tell them to continue the conversation".

Then I realized I can just ask the model to continue, obviating the need for a button.

That was a pretty mind blowing moment.

Have you ever tried paredit? It’s pretty much a lifesaver for this kind of thing.

That’s making me really thankful to be a paredit user.

I’m not quite sure what this means. How is it different/worse than all parens..?

fyi I use paredit and just hit ) and it moves me past any kind of paren/bracket. But even without that you can just hit left and right..?

I did start to feel Racket’s “wordiness” towards the end - it started to feel a bit like COBOL. I’ve since moved onto Clojure and really appreciate the shorter keywords/function names/fewer parenthesis.

I still miss for/fold though - that thing is an absolute machine.

LeetCode does have an "unofficial" API to get the problem of the day. Should work for previous days as well. This code worked last I tried [2].

Bonus - Racket is an accepted language on leetcode ;-)

I’d really like to properly get into APL though. My plan is to solve a bunch of problems on Kattis [3].

I'm really enjoying this way of learning a new language in the age of LLMs - starting with easy problems on an online code judge website and work with an LLM to come up with/explain simple solutions. It gives me dopamine hits, lots of reps, allows me to start coding right away, and is a nice way to slowly ramp up difficulty and get practice with different features of the language.

> “His answers are… understandable, and maybe in some ways more digestible than we would get from an expert,” he said.

This does not reflect his actual responses? The interviewer keys off his most emphatic sounding words to keep the conversation flowing, but his answers are generally inscrutable.

He did a great job given the cards he was dealt though.

It's particularly nice if you zoom out so you can see all the rows at once.

I hope the author doesn't mind - if you do please tell me and I will take it down!

That was my sense reading the article - that the author would be running a successful engineering org using any language really.

> We retired the “Nerdy” personality in March after launching GPT‑5.4. In training, we removed the goblin-affine reward signal and filtered training data containing creature-words, making goblins less likely to over-appear or show up in inappropriate contexts. Unfortunately, GPT‑5.5 started training before we found the root cause of the goblins.

The prompt is just a short term hotfix/hack because they couldn’t get the proper fix in in time.

*I saw the second project has a partial screenshot, but not a full one.

Even if AI never progresses past this point, it still seems like a huge win for math research to “clear the deck” of these.
