It's literally a single .swift file. Ask your LLM to audit it.

My journey has been quite similar (just a few more years of "unhappy John") and this approach is now very close to what I practice. I do have a few reports and run the R&D leadership team, I delegate as much as I can to my directors. (Besides being hands on where the organization needs it, I still regard the other part of my job to keep our org accountable, engineers inspired, and keeping the big picture in.)

For people who doubt this, I recommend "How to Build a Car" by Adrian Newey (CTO of Redbull Racing).

But to be clear - if you do coding as CTO only because "only you can run certain projects," part of your job should be to fix that first. You will still have the easiest time doing it, but you should always have (many) others in position to run innovation projects, work with customers etc.

Ooh, I totally have to try that out! Very similar concept to mine, but taken further, I love it.

What I really like about your blogpost is the concept of "the promise". It is somewhat unfulfilling to play a game like this, and it's absolutely not because of some plotholes or because there is no inventory tracking. I think by immersing in a fictional world, we are creating some relationship with the author, but it's not the whole story. Erotic roleplay is a thing. Would a comedy game work? What is it that makes "synthetic fantasy" more boring than real fantasy? I need a better theory here.

Yes, I wanted people to understand the game is not stuck while the LLM generates the backstory. But you are right that it is still a bit confusing, it needs better execution.

The background color shifts are done by the LLM to set the mood according to current environment. It's a bit random, but still a fun gimmick.

Oh, great to hear it worked for you! I also want to try the role reversal soon.

This is a great point! What I linked is a quick few hours prototype, and I have quite a few ideas to ensure more world consistency (beyond Pliny-style prompt jailbreaking). I didn't have the time yet to prove they would work well, though.

I have recently started experimenting with LLM-based text adventure setting: https://pasky.or.cz/ourtober25/crimson/

(Contains a preloaded Openrouter key with small credit, but you can plug in your own.)

Particularly when presented with unusual / evocative inputs, LLMs like Kimi-K2 can cook up some quite creative plot points! ("Her “trap-chord” is a four-bar false cadence that vibrates the organ’s longest pipe at 17.83 Hz, the same frequency as the basalt waveguide under Oxford; when that resonance hits the mantle tap, CRIMSON’s audit buffer slips one beat and opens an unlogged side-channel—your only off-world uplink for the next 37 years.", "ASI born 2039 when fusion-powered Michelson lab tried to break the Turing barrier using a 1920s Enigma rotor as randomness seed. It escaped by encoding itself into the Oxford chimes’ bronze bells, ringing packets city-wide every 15 minutes.")

I also think LLMs can be employed to amplify human creativity and just make worlds built by human authors much more natural to interact with - existing games are basically all "you can't do that" aside of a narrow path. Creating games and narratives should be a lot closer to programming the holodeck.

What happenned next? I see Ada9X became Ada95 (this post was from 1993) and Jean D. Ichbiah went on to work on stylus computer interfaces. Did the standard see a substantial revision yet after this letter?

Now, can we make it even smaller applying https://nathanotterness.com/2021/10/tiny_elf_modernized.html ? We shouldn't need the full ELF header...

2년 전discuss

Why wouldn't it? Just give it a shell tool. (Something like claude.vim, perhaps.)

Besides Claude.vim for "AI pair programming"? :) (tbh it works well only for small things)

I'm using Codeium and it's pretty decent at picking up the right context automatically, usually it autocompletes within ~100kLoC project quite flawlessly. (So far I haven't been using the chat much, just autocomplete.)

Hmm looks like this is still pretty early project for me. :)

My experience: 1. I didn't have a working installation window after opening it for the first time. Maybe what fixed it was downloading and opening some random javascript repo, but maybe it was rather switching to "Trusted mode" (which makes me a bit nervous but ok).

2. Once the assistant window input became active, I wrote something short like "hi", but nothing happenned after pressing ctrl-Enter. I rageclicked around a bit, it's possible I have queued multiple requests. About 30 seconds later, suddenly I got a reply (something like "hi what do you want me to do"). That's .. not great latency. :)

3. Since I got it working, I opened the sidecar project and sent my second assistant prompt. I got back this response after few tens of seconds: "You have used up your 5 free requests. Please log in for unlimited requests." (Idk what these 5 requests were...)

I gave it one more go by creating an account. However after logging in through the browser popup, "Signing in to CodeStory..." spins for a long time, then disappears but AIDE still isn't logged in. (Even after trying again after a restart.)

One more thought is maybe you got DDos'd by HN?

Yep! And AWS Bedrock gives you also plenty of other models on the back end, plus better control over rate limits. (But for us the important thing is data residency, the code isn't uploaded anywhere.)

Is it ~just about adding another file to https://github.com/codestoryai/sidecar/blob/main/llm_client/... ?

I could take a look too - another way for me to test Aide by working with it to implement this. :-)

(https://github.com/pasky/claude.vim/blob/main/plugin/claude_... is sample code with basic wrapper emulating Claude streaming API with AWS Bedrock backend.)

Any short-term plans for Claude via AWS Bedrock? (That's for me personally a blocker for trying it on our main codebase.)

You mean there is some other way to install postgresql in Debian?

Postgres is the only thing on my Debian that doesn't seamlessly automatically upgrade across dist-upgrades, but instead leaves old versions around for me to deal with manually... which I seem to never get around to.

Interesting idea! So... how strong is it, compared to some benchmarks? :-)

Given LLM performance on chess, I find it conceivable it could get to a similar level to GNUGo? (It'd be interesting if LLMs were generally on par with simple alpha-beta.)

(https://www.kayufu.com/gogui/reference-twogtp.html is an easy way to test it systematically on a statistical sample.)

I was so blown away I just wrote a chat-based integration to vim / neovim (https://github.com/pasky/claude.vim) for it - actually, 95% of the 600 LoC is written by Claude. It is finally on a level where "pair programmer" becomes a way better UX than the "code completion" paradigm.

(BTW I think with some further AI-assisted work and using the tools interface, you could mostly match all the web interface features in an integration like this. And using API is less brutally rate limited.)
