Ex Novel Network MCNE, came here to say the same thing.

Sometime I wonder if any of the old protocols have new merit because of some other advance.

The safest car is one that is not driven, but that is not a useful measure. Put a car on the road and you add a driver, now you can start compare risk.

I like your response, it's changed my mind a bit.

I expect people who are skillful and enjoy writing good code, are among those who dislike code generated with AI tools, and perhaps feel they have had a role or pleasure denied to them.

Those who write shit code, now feel that can produce vastly better software in a fraction of the time, and feel a sense of accomplishment.

The words you quoted start with the qualifier 'most', and that make it a true statement.

How many large github repos have no bugs, not many. How much succesful commercial software does not have a way to patch their code, not much.

Reporting bugs, patching systems, updating software is common to most software.

I also use llama for 3d modelling (openscad) and have seen some similarly odd arrangement, but also very impressive and very good at part I would find boring or onerous.

However I can image a part, see it in my mind, rotate it, place it in context, and have an intuition about it.

I agree with you, except I really don't hear that term much. People just say it wrong or confused. Good riddance, it was always a bad term.

Its always been a bad term. If we wanted an accurate term then it's 'confabulation', but 'muddled' or just 'wrong' are also good.

Hallucination seems a very dated term.

Pace is a very commonly used term in projects to describe a rate of progress.

Its a software emulation of hardware modular. It good fun to noodle about with. Does provide a good experience of modular.

I live these types of posts. Everything is always changing. For keyboards ist keys, symbols and layouts. Who can imagine not having several modifiers and just not knowing how and when to use them.

I particularly enjoyed learning the origin of the symbols, for shift, enter tab and backspace and how they survived as text replaced their siblings. I wish we could have symbols for therefore and approximatly.

As someone who has designed and built a few keyboards, this was fascinating.

You're absolutely right.

Ooh interesting. Sometime do the reverse at work, and ask AI to annotate the critical success factors of an imagined project. How did this company succeed where everyone failed. Reverse imaging.

A few weeks ago I downloaded a memory dump of a zx81 game, and ask Claude to build it in Go. It nailed it. Converted the binary back to basic and then to go. My idea was that the game would be unknown to llm training and perhaps a nice bench.

What a crazy thing it is to be first at the advent of personal computing, and then in the inflection point where AI treats that first experience as archeology.

This will produce quite verbose prose. STE100 is good for specs and explanations but it works best with a glossary or terms. will burn tokens.
