Yeah, Mermaid is a good example of the same idea. LLMs are much better at describing a diagram in a text format than actually drawing one.

The interesting part for me was separating the semantic structure from the layout completely.

LLMs are bad at drawing diagrams. Or are they?

Could you share any reading material for this?

We have LLMs now. Why are the docs still wrong?

This is incredible use of AI tools. Big kudos!

I believe that the middle ground for this is to keep all these jobs orchestrating agents or whatever the AI future invents for us, but with lower wages. The golden era of dev wages will be gone. There is no incentive for companies paying people 100-500k-1m to write prompts and debug agents, independent of their level.

Great finding, i am always amazed by such archaeological treasures. But -unrelated- i was overwhelmed by the number of ads in the page until i saw some actual pictures from the tomb.

Anyone fearing that all this marketing BS and that race to AGI (?) will destroy the SaaS industry (and others?) and will also kill a few millions of jobs worldwide? I think the US has invested in an AI battle vs China and protect the currently all-in-AI stock market at all costs, and nobody has thought of what will happen to normal people with regular jobs in the tech (or not) industry.

Remote work is one of the things i would expect every country government to incentivise and promote.

Countryside, villages, islands would revive, less traffic, pollution, less unnecessary company and personal costs, more happy people and families, more opportunities globally, etc.

But no, some property owners in the centre are more important than this and we have to live in overcrowded cities. Kudos

I think we haven't really seen the effects of tourism to places.

- Before airbnb there was some balance in these places: people had regular professions (plumbers, builders, bakers, farmers, agriculture, fishing, hoteliers, etc)

- After airbnb: local people saw that opportunity for extra income on the side, also thriving side businesses around tourirm. There is also the existing generation of people still doing these regular professions

- Now: local people might have sold their properties to companies managing these airbnbs or foreigners visiting once per couple years. Local people have also enough money to live comfortably somewhere else, number of regular professions is declining or replaced by non-local people, e.g. from India or Pakistan (this is the case for all balkan countries). For reference, a couple years ago, this was done by people from Albania or Romania.

- In 20 years: these islands are not inhabited by greek people, only companies maintain these airbnbs or whole villages are left empty. No bakeries are left, no local markets, only large supermarket chains bringing non local food and groceries, noone likes to work as a plumber or baker since they can make money from other stuff.

This is how i see the future in these places. I am not talking about the popular ones like Mykonos or Santorini, these are high-income generators and won't have an issue finding "workers". However this is the current state in other non popular islands.

That's true, but at least all these places were kept unharmed and less touristic before airbnb. Each island's tourism was almost limited around hotels and established rental houses before. Airbnb opened up the gates for that extra income for anyone having more than 1 property, these side businesses, building, renovating, managing, cleaning, selling around airbnb. And if you are a rich foreigner, you can buy properties everywhere in the world and keep making money from that local tourism.

It's not about xenophobia, more like fear that the greek landscape we know won't be like this in the future. But greeks are not xenophobic, i would say the opposite. They seem to just enjoy the free money from selling their properties to anyone but don't care about what's left. Islands are getting over-built, Mykonos has become like a tiny Dubai, most popular greek beaches (e.g. Sarakiniko in Milos) are getting constructed with luxury hotels with pools, etc destroying the natural landscape, island villages are getting bought by foreigners who visit Greece for 10 days every 2 or 3 years. What's left behind? Who will work as a regular plumber or baker there? Who will preserve the iconic greek island architecture in future buildings there? The non existent and corrupt construction laws or the foreigners who might not care enough for one of their remote properties (probably just used for extra income via airbnb)?

Same in Greece, the countryside and even the islands are dying or declining. Everyone is moving to Athens or nearby big cities. Even most greek islands have become huge only-summer resorts and a large airbnb, most of their villages are almost empty during the winter. There are various reasons but the most important ones are that a big majority of properties has been bought by foreigners as vacation homes and there is no incentive for locals or other greeks to go there and create businesses for noone mid-winter without schools, doctors, etc. Add to that younger generations don't want to stay and work as farmers, bakers, builders despite the fact that in most of these professions are in real need and can make great money there. People prefer the easy money from airbnb and property selling to foreigners.

You need to run them in review loops, this is the only way to reduce or eliminate these issues.
