I am experimenting with using A.I. to see an image, and generate TinyScheme code to draw it on Gimp. As soon as I got the code for a 2D representation, then I bring out the heavy weaponry, Rust and Freecad, and with some more information ad

That's a good idea, a very good idea actually, but I wonder about it's effectiveness due to a very small total number of snake bites nowadays, compared to the past. Hundreds of thousands years in the past, hominids lived into much

That's a long time hypothesis of mine as well, but I think it stems from being stung or bitten by venom. If venom is injected into the bloodstream, it is desirable to be injected as far away from the heart as possible. Some centimeters

The trick might be to put a multimodal A.I. to describe what it sees in an image, and employ another LLM to put the textual representation into code. Multimodal A.I.s are good at describing images. Even a handwritten sketch could be a very

Does the same scan is happening on firefox? Random websites invoking extensions do seem to be a security hole to me.

>In this case the limitation is the compute. I agree with most of your points, but computation can be transferred from a place where energy is cheap to a place that is expensive. Energy for cooking cannot be transferred that way. See for

Code is so low entropy that smaller and more economical models will be up to the task the same as gigantic models from big providers are today. No worries there, the huge improvements we see today from GPT and Claude, are at their heart jus

Emacs can be configured with no code written by the user and Linux can be controlled with minimal user knowledge of the command line. Still some knowledge is necessary in most cases, but nowhere near what was required a handful of years bac

That's superb. A very good literature story could be written based on that.

In my mind I had the opposite picture than the one the article portrays. Emacs was lagging behind common IDEs, like IntelliJ and VsCode, cause big companies put thousands of developers to combine many features into one integrated package an

Porting code from one programming language to another will be one of the most important tasks of code gen A.I. Imagine doing the same with vehicle engines. Less fuel consumption, less pollution, less weight and who knows how many more benef

In some other news, new accounts on MoltBook use em-dashes a lot less than normal. Bots are tricked by humans posing as intelligent machines!

Not all code qualities are free. Good quality code, still expensive.

There is also 3d printing origami shapes [1]. But 3D printing is still plastic(usually). The idea of origami steel sheets has stuck on my mind ever since I found out about laser welding. Cutting thin 2mm sheets of steel, stitching them back

Aider's repomap is a great idea. I remember participating in the discussion back then. The unfortunate thing for Python that the repomap mentions, and untyped/duck-typed languages, is that function signatures do not mean a lot. Wh

You don't need a workflow. The agent is the workflow. That's the idea at least. Probably not a great idea IMHO, because producing high quality code is the main difficulty of programming. Everything else, committing to git, deplo

Vibe coding is entertainment. Nothing wrong about entertainment, but when totally clueless people connect to their bank account, or control their devices with vibe coded programs, someone will be entertained for sure. Large language models

Context learning means learning facts or rules without pre-training. They are two distinct phases. An interesting question is, if pre-trained specialized models are available for a thousand or ten thousand most common tasks humans do every

Not true. They want to talk to their secretary, and the secretary do it for them. Go around, and ask people if they want a free secretary, see if someone doesn't want one. They will not ask a computer program to do stuff. They will tal
