I did not know it was SQLite, thx for noting. That gives the idea to make an MCP server or Skill or classical script which can slurp those and make a PROMPTS.md or answer other questions via SQL. Will try that this week.

I wasn’t exactly suggesting this. The source code (including SVG or DOCX or HTMl+JS for document work) is the primary ground truth which the LLM modifies. Humans might modify it too. This ground truth is then rendered (compiled, visualize

Isn't the "steering" in the form of prompts? You note "Even if the code was generated using AI, my help in steering towards the right design, implementation choices, and correctness has been vital during the development

Thanks for sharing this — I appreciate your motivation in the README. One suggestion, which I have been trying to do myself, is to include a PROMPTS.md file. Since your purpose is sharing and educating, it helps others see what approaches

Here's the link to the Brooking's report from the NPR article, to read it in full: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/a-new-direction-for-stude... I've only skimmed it, but I note that all this research

I have a two-fold approach to this: * With specific positive or negative feedback, I will issue friendly complements and critiques the LLM to reinforce things I like and reduce things I don't. * Rather than thinking sycophantic/an

Very cool, thank you for creating and sharing. Literally yesterday YouTube searched (for the first time in a long time) for "D blues backing for Harmonica". I am interested now in exploring LLM paths for that. You did a great jo

November 2025 was when AntiGravity and Gemini 3 came out and everything changed for me. Six months earlier, I had tried to vibe-code the 21+ verification page to AgentDank (an OSS cannabis MCP server connecting LLMs to open data via DuckD

Thanks for sharing and taking the time to document your repo. I’m also sometimes unsure of “self-promotion” — especially when you don’t have anything to sell, including yourself. I sometimes don’t share links, due to this and then sometim

It's techno-freemasonry. One must break through the symbolism. The author wielding it and transmitting it cannot just plainly say the knowledge. We don't have the vocabulary or grammar for these new things, so storytelling and

Certainly! I left out the part where I would ride my BMX bike with my friends, without a helmet and without my parents tracking me, 5 miles in an urban environment to get to the arcade, then we'd hike the Hollywood Hills fire trails a

I've started fresher and am now in an agentic loop in Claude Code, asking it to render the generated 3mf and look at the results and evolve the Swift code to have a model that matches the reference image. Not sure how it will go but

I too love seeing code-based CAD and the general aspect of using LLM's using code as an expression-intermediary: SQL to data, Swift to CAD, SVG to images of pelicans. I have not used Constructive Solid Geometry CAD MCPs myself (but I

No, that’s very common and appreciated, especially when curated. All my comments there were musings, not value judgements.

I totally get it and received the offering. =) Love seeing more use of io_uring too and interesting to see how that's done in Zig. Happy New Year: All the best on this and other projects.

Unusual tones all around in the thread here. My initial observations before reading the comments here: * "wow, OSS projects are starting to have some pretty wild landing pages, guess it's not just AI logos at the top of the READM

All good, I thought your point was fair either way, considering my original point of being clear about a link. Plus a chance for storytelling. =)

That is fair, particularly compared to Janet Jackson! I will add detail. In their younger days, two distinguished engineers, Bryan Cantrill and Brendan Gregg, made this video where they scream at a data storage server nicknamed Thumper.

It's not about privacy or malware, although those are important in life. Maybe I'm on Reddit too much, but I like knowing what will appear on the other end of a link. I originally posted my own comment with link and prose, but t

So classic. For those weary of random links, it’s Cantrill and Gregg screaming at Thumpers and affecting IOPS. That was such a great machine. We rearchitected our systems around it.

The file granularity you chose was at the perfect level for somebody to approach the source code and understand how Redis worked. It was my favorite codebases to peruse and hack. It’s been a decade and my memory palace there is still stro

This is true for simple UDP, but reliable transports are often built over UDP. As with anything in computing, there are trade-offs between the approaches. One example is QUIC now widespread in browsers. MoldUDP64 is used by various exchange

Youth these days tend to say “this weed has gas” rather than “this weed is dank”. I’m unsure if that is just due to gassy strains becoming more popular or just lingo. Garlic is another rising scent.

Great list! Just double-checked the CAT timekeeping requirements [1] and the requirement is NIST sync. So a subset of all UTC. You don’t need to actually sync to NIST. I think most people PTP/PPS to a GPS-connected Grandmaster with h

I enjoyed this read. Here’s some related thoughtwork I had last week, which looks at it via Calculus. My son asked me: “what’s the derivative of e^x”? I replied “it is e^x?”, inquisitively as it had been a while. Once he confirmed, I sta
