LLMs are a really accessible machine learning technique. I dabbled with text classifiers a few years ago and the APIs were way more involved. (system_prompt: String, input: String) -> String I can prototype with this much more easily!

I've been using "Expected Int, but got String" for my type error messages, but I've been wondering if I could do better. "Expected Int here, but this value has type String" or "This expression requires Int, but the value is String". Do you have a favourite?

I'm pretty impressed with Cursor: I've successfully asked it to perform codebase transforms in English, and it's worked! E.g. "Replace all calls foo(..., true) with foo_immediate(...) define a foo_immediate function". I'm still reading the diff and checking tests -- it's still AI after all.
