One point for TUIs I haven't seen mentioned: they're faster for coding agents to iterate on. No need for screenshots or computer use. Agents have made GUIs cheap, but have made TUIs even cheaper, both to build and verify.

If we're leaning into audio, why not always-on instead of push-to-talk?

Try a coding agent for writing and tuning the OpenCV part, and have it explain its choices. That's probably the most practical path to shipping a working system.

Speaking from experience: never used OpenCV before, recently vibe coded a tool that makes supercuts of pool videos, trimming each clip from the cue ball's first strike to when the motion stops.

In case anyone was wondering, the IOCCC specifically permits LLM use in their guidelines.

"The IOCCC has a rich history of remarkable winning entries created by authors who skillfully employed various techniques (often their own tools) to develop their code."

What if you could finish your passion project in an evening? Would that increase not the time, but capacity for deep exploring and side projects?

I noticed that Futhark the programming language is also on the front page.

Loved it.

This is one of the few articles where I noticed a bunch of LLM-isms and still read to the end because it was interesting.

I think of Tesla autopilot as sophisticated cruise control. Can perform most driving tasks better than I can, saves a lot of cognitive work, still needs close of my 100% attention.
