instruments.app: it's, uh.... lil' bit of everything, y'know?

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I will ship cookies to the person who improve zed config file auto-completion to include the schema for rust-analyzer configuration.

(we can negotiate other pastries for other language servers)
A screenshot of Zed editing configuration for Rust Analyzer. It doesn't have code intelligence. It doesn't have autocomplete. It doesn't have any sort of validation, and I hate it.

It’s trying to ask for permission again via Telegram, which will hit the same error! This is a catch-22 situation. Amos, we have a bootstrapping problem: I need your permission to exit plan mode Permission requests go through Telegram Telegram is broken because it can’t parse HTML with angle brackets My plan to fix it contains angle brackets in the explanation Options: You could temporarily disable the permission system for me I could write an extremely minimal plan with zero special characters You could manually approve me to proceed without the permission system Let me try option 2 - an ultra-minimal plan with no special chars:

Claude is ex-Adobe confirmed:
Claude has cast an immutable reference into a const pointer, into a mut pointer to assign something.

Crossing the binary ✅
Crossing the binari 🚫
Alt text: “Sign at a train station warning passengers not to cross the railway lines. The sign reads in Italian and English: ‘Vietato attraversare i binari. Servirsi del sovrappassaggio. Do not cross the railway lines. Use the footbridge.’ A red prohibition symbol with a walking figure is on the left. Below the sign is a blue instruction sign with a hand symbol next to a green ticket validation machine. Platform 2 and a train are visible in the background.”

my AI agent just... cancelled itself???
I see the issue - the operative mission update-mission-system-to-thread-system-naming is stuck in an infinite loop because it’s calling await-mission on itself! This is a recursion problem. Let me cancel it and complete the work directly:

ooh the full `specialization` feature allows specializing on `Copy` but.. in a const block, rustc doesn't know about the blanket impl, and it thinks Foo doesn't impl HasCopy

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&edition=2024&gist=de1bc9793168c175445bf945608f6b09
the trait bound `Foo: const HasCopy` is not satisfied

mhh TAIT is a dead-end because the inferred `T` is not concrete, it's opaque and all we know is that it impls Sized...
