This is the passage through the woods between hayfields. The giant, reddish, leafless bush is the multiflora rose that I cut off at roots a few weeks ago. That bush and a mulberry tree on the other side were narrowing the lane considerably. It’s better now.

LLMs and Specs
I was trying to get a specification for a program at one point, to see if it was doing what I wanted. My LLM, Lyin’ Brian, created one for me.
The background was that I had asked an LLM for a link to math book with the algorithm of, for example, a lower hull. I asked it to write it out in English, used that for the prompt.
It found me https://cp-algorithms.com/geometry/convex-hull.html, and once I had it and checked it, I had Claude convert it to Go, and then I debugged it.
Once I had that, I asked Claude for the specification, and got:
Logical Specification for Lower Hull
Here's a formal specification of what the lower hull algorithm should accomplish:
Given: A finite set of points P = {p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ} in 2D space
Output: An ordered sequence of points L = [l₁, l₂, ..., lₖ] representing the lower hull
Postconditions (what must be true after execution):
Subset property: L ⊆ P (all points in the lower hull are from the original set)
Ordering property: l₁ has the minimum x-coordinate (leftmost), and lₖ has the maximum x-coordinate (rightmost). For all i < j, x(lᵢ) ≤ x(lⱼ) (x-coordinates are monotonically non-decreasing)
Convexity property: For all consecutive triples (lᵢ, lᵢ₊₁, lᵢ₊₂) in L, the orientation must be counterclockwise (left turn). Formally: (lᵢ₊₁ - lᵢ) × (lᵢ₊₂ - lᵢ₊₁) > 0
Minimality property: L is minimal — no point from P can be removed from L while still maintaining properties 2 and 3. (This ensures you have the actual hull, not just some counterclockwise path)
Completeness property: All points on the lower convex hull boundary are included. Formally: for any point p ∈ P that lies on the lower boundary of the convex hull, p ∈ L
Preconditions (assumptions):
P contains at least 2 points
Points are distinct (no duplicates)
The meaning of Lower Hull is understood by allThis successfully translated the program into a spec I could read. Not easily, though! It’s been a while since I did symbolic logic, back at Sun.
So I worked it through with a pencil, paper and a trivial set of data, and that was really what I was asking for. It also told me that I needed to add code to check that the points really were distinct (no duplicates).
Necessary and sufficient? I’m going to think more about that.

it's interesting that the #Conservatives think my County Council Division is so safe that they don't normally do any pre-election visits and don't hand deliver leaflets, but so at risk from #ReformUK that they post a last-minute leaflet with their national priorities (including Internet censorship/surveillance to protect children) and no local ones.

Spring is in the air, it is on the ground, and it is showing up on winter deciduous trees.
This cluster shows a still leafless Himalayan Birch (Betula alnoides) full of yellow catkins, the other taller trees are Himalayan Alder (Alnus nepalensis) which have new leaves & leaf buds. The dark evergreen trees are Tree Rhododendron (Rhododendron arboreum).

I found this really good link in relation to #posters during #elections in Ireland and noted in particular that posters must display information regarding the printer/publisher of those posters/leaflets.
How many posters have you seen that omits this information and are they of candidates who the same wing politically?

OK, there are speedruns for video games. But are there also speedruns for more difficult things, like folding back medication leaflets? #AGDQ

'The basic facts alone are startling. Before Zack #Polanski took over as leader last September, the #Greens in #England and #Wales had around 66,000 members. They are now at 215,000, and still rising at speed.
This means the party has many more people to knock on doors and fold leaflets, as seen with the vast numbers of canvassers the party could call on in winning last month’s #Gorton and #Denton #byelection .'

The #Baobab #Tree is often called the "upside-down tree" due to its distinctive appearance, with sparse branches that resemble roots reaching towards the sky when it's leafless during the dry season.
These remarkable trees, native to Africa, Madagascar, and Australia, are renowned for their ability to store vast amounts of water in their massive trunks, allowing them to survive in arid environments.
