Delphi sucks, I don't recommend anybody use it when you could just use c#.

This is a power-user’s nightmare.
Instead of arranging things in a logical hierarchy, and enabling quick navigation thru keystrokes - just toss out making the ui make sense because the chatbot can solve all.
Your job is to make a good product. AI-as-interface is just slapping a layer of randomized language parsing in between the user and bad ui.
I’m not actually saying no chatbots. What I am saying is using a chatbot to solve a usability problem is a massive middle finger to anyone who might have to use your product for 8 hours a day. Make it good, then make it idiot-proof. Don’t make it for idiots only.
Chatbots would be great for discoverability, especially if you have a ton of docs that nobody seems to read.
Are there any MCP servers that enrich the context with data from a language server and fetches relevant documentation based on the types provided from that information?

Currently, the goal of everyone is creating one master model to rule them all, so we haven't seen too much specialization. I wonder how much more efficient smaller models could be if we created language specialized models.
It feels intuitively obvious (so maybe wrong?) that a 32B Java Coder would be far better at coding Java than a generalist 32B Coder.
jetbrains have done this with their mellum models that they use for autocompletion, https://ollama.com/JetBrains
fine tuned rather than created from scratch though.
Give me Delphi. No, seriously, give me Delphi, but for the web and in a modern popular programming language. Python would be great, but I will not turn my nose away from TypeScript or Go or Lua.
For those who don’t know, Delphi was (is?) a visual constructor for Windows apps that you outfitted with a dialect of Pascal. It was effing magic!
Nowadays the web ecosystem is so fast-paced and so fragmented, the choice is paralyzing, confidence is low. The amount of scaffolding I have to do is insane. There are tools, yes, cookie cutters, npx’s, CRAs, copilots and Cursors that will confidently spew tons of code but quickly leave you alone with this mess.
I haven’t found a solution yet.
Your best bet might be using blazor with a rad development tool, though I haven't tried it. blazor notably has devexpress components, which is what makes delphi tolerable.
Note that this uses llms from 2023(chatgpt3.5-turbo, chatgpt4), and might not be relevant to newer models.
As an extension to this general idea: AI generated interactive tutorials for software usage might be a good product. Assuming it was trained on the defined usage paths present in the code, it would be able to guide the user through those usages.

You can somewhat achieve a pipelined like system in sql by breaking down your steps into multiple CTEs. YMMV on the performance though.

Given that this is a paid product, are you liable if the chatbot misrepresents the data?
website(on firefox) nitpicks
- The handle_complexity.png image is too small to read and can't be zoomed unless opened in another tab.
- The background effect is in the foreground of chatbot_cropped_gif.gif
- The yaml schema text should have a background like the rest of the text boxes

patch: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2024-02/msg...
I think it makes emacs prefer the "new" Treesitter based c/c++ modes ahead of the venerable c/c++-mode that is older than most posters here, maintained by the email author.
Is there no code review for making changes? And that patch is from feburary, why is this email drama happening only now?
Genuine questions, I don't know much about emacs/gnu project development.
