<p>From the README.md: If "fancy new AI tech in an old-school minimalist package" sounds like your vibe, you might like this.<p>What is the question about:<p>A: Why start a 'new' software project? (instead of old, none, multiple, ...)
B: Why in 'C'? (instead of Mojo, Java, D, ...) 
C: Why 'today'? (instead of Yesterday, Tomorrow,  never, ...)<p>For me the beauty of this project is:<p>Someone tried to figure out for themselves what an end-to-end process would look like for what they wanted to do. What happens to the input? How are files written? What is sent to the LLMs?<p>And they used the tool they know best. No `import openai`.</p>

<p>I'm sure this will become the standard. And plastic is an excellent analogy. Maybe we can take it a step further and compare it to on-demand 3D printing.<p>Why would anyone still use off-the-shelf software when they can have a system that has access to all data, can transform it into any form, and can export it in any format?<p>After years of thinking that I needed to develop a decent movie management system for my own films or a columnar browser for large CSV files, Claude and Qwen each delivered exactly what I needed in just a day.</p>

<p>The term “currently” is the sticking point here. As far as I know, there is still no one who can provide evidence as to why it should remain that way. And the "by luck with RL" is soon not by luck anymore. The more stupid and not so stupid ideas are discussed with the LLMs, the chances are growing that it is not a question about luck but by growing probability.</p>

<p>As someone who usually works with data analysis, the distribution of the numbers strikes me as odd. Almost all of them have one number that appears four times, and one or two that appear three times. And overall, there are an unusually small number (0–9) of digits that appear at all.<p>Maybe it's not just vibe-coded, maybe the numbers themselves are being hallucinated by an LLM.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing! I had no idea about the “3-30-300 test,” even though I always pay attention to city trees.<p>I can, however, easily explain the division in Europe: In Italy (for example, in Palermo), the vigorous growth of many species very often leads to significant damage to infrastructure.<p>Here in Vienna, there’s a directory of trees[1] where you can see, among other things, the species and age.<p>[1] <a href="https://baumkarte.at/" rel="nofollow">https://baumkarte.at/</a></p>

<p>Works on my computer: RTX 3090, CUDA 12.6<p>Interesting project! I haven't really worked with Vulkan myself yet. Hence my question: how is the code compiled and then loaded into the cores?<p>Or is the entire code always compiled in the REPL and then uploaded, with only the existing data addresses being updated?</p>
