OP here. I don't want to hide the fact that this whole thing was mostly vibe coded. That being said, I have looked at the code and the output and think they're both legit. And at least to me, the results are fun and fascinating.

... and used Claude to crank the software up to 11. Network management console, RESTful API, added hands hands to the pupils so it serves as a clock, NTP, added sleep mode at night, added different eyes, OTA firmware updates, and more: https://github.com/michael-gebis/creeper-eyes
It's ridiculous and I love it.

Later that week, now that things were working, I profiled the n^2 search. The software controlled a piece of industrial test equipment, and the actual test process would take something around 4 hours to complete. Using the very worst case, far-beyond-reasonable data set, if I left the n^2 behavior in, would have added something like 6 seconds to that 4 hour runtime.
(Ultimately I fixed it anyways, but because it was easy, not because it mattered.)

Implies they would not spend half of their time in the dark.

Writing a blog entry to simply clarify your own thinking makes it worth it.
I mean that's pretty close no?
But I also have time-of-day energy pricing, and it would be nice to automatically turn off (or at least slow) my air filters during the 5pm-8pm window. This project inspires me to at least look into the feasibility of adding that functionality myself.
And the LLM part of our intelligence isn't really thinking.
And some people out there have a very, very small "unknown black box".
Work when the network config on that particular computer is down/borked.
> They said, “Look at the contrast—here’s Norvig’s Sudoku thing and then there’s this other guy, whose name I’ve forgotten, one of these test-driven design gurus. He starts off and he says, “Well, I’m going to do Sudoku and I’m going to have this class and first thing I’m going to do is write a bunch of tests.” But then he never got anywhere. He had five different blog posts and in each one he wrote a little bit more and wrote lots of tests but he never got anything working because he didn’t know how to solve the problem. I actually knew—from AI—that, well, there’s this field of constraint propagation—I know how that works. There’s this field of recursive search—I know how that works. And I could see, right from the start, you put these two together, and you could solve this Sudoku thing. He didn’t know that so he was sort of blundering in the dark even though all his code “worked” because he had all these test cases.
The data is sent to https://app.birdweather.com/ where I'm assuming bird scientists are doing something with it.
