Any country or actor that says “our policy for Europe should prioritise cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations” is the EU’s enemy. We can ignore it, we can deny it, we can refuse to acknowledge it, but it is.

I just claude-coded it from scratch first, and now dogfooding with GLM-4.6 - it’s not as smart as Claude (sometimes I wondered it I were faster to just write the code by hand), but eventually gets things done. With colors, I felt like 3 “feels“ like a reasonable flexibility without being too much.

Ah very nice taxonomy! In my little agent toy, I went with labeling them as colors, since I am not *quite* sure what’s going to be the “division of labour”, yours looks nicely laid out !

Which model do you use on the backend ?

Ah, ok - with all of the “affection” pouring into it I got an impression it was.

I think having a compiler warning could be a sensible middle ground, because it feels like it’s about the same level of severity as the CamelCasing your struct fields or not, for which compiler has opinions(tm).

Indeed. So it really requires conscious effort - which I would guess makes its effective audience 1/10th of potential. That said, one definitely must *not* go as far as Golang went with unused variables - that’s hostile. So a compiler nag (especially since there are ones about casing) feels ok.

A warning that could be either made a hard error or made go away via a #[allow(unwrap_or_panic)] or something along those lines could be cool!

I just don‘t see how the hosted version would integrate… in a way claude code is already its own standard. So it is puzzling, a bit. Though the new platform allows to code from the phone - but it’s clearly an accident rather than a feature…

despite the generous give-away, new Claude code feels a bit of a worrying direction to me - no matter how I look at it it doesn’t look like anything other than a beginning of a vendor lock-in to me. Hopefully I am wrong.

I was just thinking today how LLM-based coding, especially more of exploratory kind, is a lot like sculpting!

did it work well enough to unconfuse the LLM about Bevy ?

I had decent results with having the dependencies of interest checked out into a separate .gitignored “dependencies” directory within the project , and instructing LLM to look there. Takes a bit longer, but it finds its way more reliably.

How does Kimi K2 compare to GLM-4.6 in your experience ? My feel is the latter is a fair bit better..

could anything in github.com/facet-rs/fac... (or their dependencies, like unsynn) be of use ?
