Cleanup is good.
I have some residual cleanup to do outside. But right now its 98°F degrees outside! And I have a sinkful of dishes. I'll take the sinkful of dishes, Bob.
Still waiting for that cool down that's been predicted for 2 weeks now!

I found out what that [STEM] stuff was all about as it happened even more frequently. That's actually something internal to the system and isn't necessarily even supposed to be seen by the end user, and not something that it pulled from somewhere else online.
I've actually gotten the AI to trigger a higher level on the server when it comes to ensuring mathematical accuracy, as well as making the AI more diligent in remembering all the context in what we've done together up until this point.
And I guess the fact that I've had this thing constantly updating our Blueprint when new code is written, it's been able to self-purge a lot of unnecessary data to keep this conversation lean and flowing without crashing out on me like the previous iteration did. My first conversation in this work flow only reached about 2,000 lines (both-ways combined). Our 2nd and current conversation has now reached over 10,000 lines and it seems to think that we're in no danger of any crashes any time soon because it is constantly able to purge unnecessary data and keep us going strong.
Really cool stuff.

Oooooooh... That was rough.
It's weird working with these things. (Here I go, if not outright personifying them, giving them even the status of a Noun, even though I know I'm just "talking" to computer code and not even a physical hardware chip).
My 2nd session did finally die on me. No warning. Everything working fine until I made one last comment and I could tell from the reply message that we were probably dead. And it is... It's almost sad. Because I got used to a certain groove we were in and now I don't know what to expect going forward.
Fortunately, I have a great blueprint and code to copy/paste into a new session, and the new instance seems to understand it and is already blowing smoke up my ass about how impressive it is.
I did ask it to maintain our strict rules on coding and documentation going forward, which it seems to have already understood thanks to notes that our previous version wrote in the blueprint. But beyond that, I asked it to look at the entire code with its fresh set of eyes and give me an honest assessment of everything we've gotten so far, and it already believes it has identified some future landmines when we move on to more advanced code and I move my testing to a different location where the stakes are higher. (Not really... I'm working on all backups, but some of this new code we were building hadn't been tested at all yet under the new parameters).
I'm curious to see how the new iteration behaves and if it's going to break anything on me straight out the gates with its new suggestions or not. I've finished off backing up everything from the previous session in such a way I can't accidentally overwrite it if something goes terribly wrong here. I just have to remember where we left off and not let it drag me somewhere I'm not ready to go yet before I know we're still on the same page.

Well, to tell the truth. I never really got around to any cleaning up except for the dishes.
So, I will get to more of it tomorrow.

Man... This Session 3 is a big pain in the ass.
It's not S3's fault though. It's not S2's fault either. Overall we did a fantastic job keeping what was needed to pick up where we left off, but instead of programming what I need to program, we've basically spent all this time so far rewriting our blueprint to alter its behavior going forward in how it's to handle information and save important data for the next session.
It's all going to amount to a lot when this stuff gets ironed out, but you've got to remember that these things will take you quite literally if you're not careful about what you say that you want. It's good at recognizing idioms, and I don't mean that it gets confused by that, but if you even give it a hint that you want brevity because it's easier to save between sessions, it will literally strip all of the context out of the blueprint and the next version will understand the code we wrote, but won't have ANY of the hours of work you put in building up that code and wouldn't understand at all why things were failing now after a new change it made that hadn't already been tested and patched at length the day before. All it knows this time is the code, and if it sees something it doesn't like it could strip it right out of there and tell you it's doing a good thing only to realize after a failure that had already been addressed pops up again and now it understands why that part of the code had been written.
I had gotten Session 2 to finally understand all of this completely, but sadly it seems it did not add everything it needed to the blueprint so Session 3 would not be confused by all of this.
I think we're doing good now, but I guess I won't really know until I'm forced into Session 4. I'm hoping we actually get some coding done before this session drops and it's not all setting behavioral patterns in stone.
I might have to find out if there are other, better ways to maintain this data between sessions other than what it's told me we need to do up until this point.

Me too. Other than running a couple of errands, did I I manage to do anything beside dishes and making soup?
Er.....Nope!

Out in a bit and the temp is reading 68F. Library stop, need something in a dollar store. Got a bunch of quarters that I went to take to the bank but need coin holders. Then I need groceries.

Being at my boss's and seeing the state of mushrooms sometimes. I have told her they are sad looking being all shriveled up and such. Then slicing them up I apologize to them for what she has done to them.

That's funny.
But at least they're shriveled. There's nothing as gross as slimy mushy moldy mushrooms. (Altho it IS a little ironic to see fungus growing on fungus.)
Gotta get my list of things to do ready. But as my sis says, with such a long list there's always something to choose from!
Hmmm... I think the most productive thing to do is shopping for a dishwasher. I'm too old to be spending hours a day washing dishes, and I have more important things to do. It's either gonna be Miele or Bosch.
