if someone wants a good masters or phd thesis, they should point one of these tools at the entire github history of OF including all the issues, and ask "make a better toolkit that solves the most common problems and regressions that people run into, and make it easier to vibe code new apps"

these tools will often think there is a y-inversion when there is not, or hallucinate functions that it would make sense for OF to have if it worked like other toolkits, etc.

i use cursor (usually in auto, sometimes i switch between chatgpt, opus, and gemini for persistent bugs), or claude code if it's a web app. cursor can basically handle OF, but OF is so nonstandard in so many ways it would probably be faster to code against the raw libraries a lot of the time.

it is at least 2x harder to vibe code an openFrameworks app than anything for the web (or even python)

oh this app doesn't have an edit button either? ok

i was just helping people in the south pacific with their phones. every single phone was infested with adware that made the phones unusable. if we managed to open facebook it was full of fake “phone cleaner” ads.

if you're enjoying these, please check them on another platform like instagram or youtube. bsky has a 100M upload limit so the videos look terrible.

rewiring my relationship to technology :) helping with various upgrades and teaching. but we are also still trying to capture this mysterious flash of light.

love the circle packing approach to sizing

i cannot even begin to explain my rage at how glitchy the instagram reels captions tool is

i think i see what you’re saying about there being a spectrum between treating AI-assisted search as a pure retrieval task vs a pure hallucination task. lots of hybrid in-between solutions that balance the strengths of each.

i tried this with o3: “do some research on the best rust proof nails. then provide a single recommendation along with sourced quotes justifying the answer. include quotes that come to a different conclusion and explain why they are wrong.”

re the original point: in theory you can file a complaint with CRCL but they've become toothless or complicit. the DHS OIG has forced some changes, but not individual accountability. personally i still feel identity is important, even if there is no clear route for accountability.

there is a precedent for takedowns of US-based sites (e.g. icelist) but icespy has been uninterrupted since 2018. at first i thought it was just under the radar, but two separate fox news hosts have painted a target on my back in the last week and.. nothing. so 🤷🏻‍♂️
