My hypothesis is until they can really nail down image to text and text to image, such that training on diagrams and drawings can produce fruitful multi modal output, classic engineering is going to be a tough nut to crack.

Software engineering lends itself greatly to LLMs because it just fits so nicely into tokenization. Whereas mechanical drawings or electronic schematics are sort of more like a visual language. Image art but with very exacting and important pixel placement, with precise underlying logical structure.

In my experience so far, only O3 can kind of understand an electronic schematic, but really only at a "Hello World!" level difficulty. I don't know how easy it will be to get to the point where it can render a proper schematic or edit one it is given to meet some specified electronic characteristics.

There are programming languages that are used to define drawings, but the training data would be orders of magnitude less than what is written for humans to learn from.

Try one of the models with good vision capabilities and ask it to output code using build123d.

60C held for 15+ minutes should be enough for sterilization. The research paper says they washed at 60C but that the quick cycle was especially poor at sterilization. Other than that I didn’t read the paper closer to see if it was a temperature control problem or not enough time at 60C or something else.

Not true. It depends on the pathogen.

You need to add sanitizer to the wash cycle, not just detergent.

If you like this plan, you can do this from the command line:

`aider --model gemini --architect --editor-model claude-3.7` and aider will take care of all the fiddly bits including git commits for you.

right now `aider --model o3 --architect` has the highest rating on the Aider leaderboards, but it costs wayyy more than just --model gemini.

I like Gemini for "architect" roles, it has very good code recall (almost no hallucinations, or none lately), so it can successfully review code edits by Claude. I also find it useful to ground it with Google Search.

Damn that's interesting. How much of the code do you provide? I'm guessing when modularity is high you can give specific files.

neodypsis · 4 months ago

Gemini's context is very long, so I can feed it full files. I do the same with Claude, but I may need to start from scratch various times, so Gemini serves as memory (and is also good that Gemini has almost no hallucinations, so it's great as a code reviewer for Claude's edits).

So I feel like a grandpa reading this. I gave Claude code a solid shot. Had some wins but costs started blowing up. I switched to Gemini AI where I only upload files I want it to work on and make sure to refactor often so modularity remains fairly high. It's an amazing experience. If this is any measure - I've been averaging about 5-6 "small features" per 10k tokens. And I totally suck at fe coding!! The other interesting aspect of doing it this way is being able to break up problems and concerns. For example in this case I only worked on fe without any backend and flushed it out before starting on an backend.

A combination that works nicely to solve bugs is: 1) have Gemini analyze the code and the problem, 2) ask it to create a prompt for Claude to fix the problem, 3) give Claude the markdown prompt and the code, 4) give Gemini the output from Claude to review, 5) repeat if necessary

Who knew that K-Mart music from 1989 would be the perfect sound track for vibe coding in 2025?

Were you able to find the tracks using Shazam? It is having trouble matching the one from the 28:00 mark here: https://archive.org/details/KmartFebruary1990

Wild to actually hear the prices. Shoes for less than $3 USD![0] It's a fun time warp!

Many apps won't work in the Android emulator. Banking apps, etc. will detect it and ban it. Far more apps will ban the emulator than will ban GrapheneOS. We aren't aware of an app which would work in the Android emulator with a standard emulator image containing Google Play but wouldn't work with GrapheneOS. Nearly all Android apps work on GrapheneOS. It's nearly entirely just the subset which ban using any non-stock OS with the Play Integrity API which can't be used. We convinced a few banking apps to start allowing GrapheneOS via hardware attestation but the pace of banking apps integrating the Play Integrity API is unfortunately quite a bit faster than the pace we're convincing apps to support it after they do that.

You can build it for the emulator. It's straightforward to do, but it requires a lot of disk space and it will take around 40-60 minutes on a high end desktop CPU like a Ryzen 9950X. We don't publish official releases for the emulator at the moment because it's not intended for production use and isn't really a good experience to use. We could start doing it, but it'd add some extra work and we'd be concerned about people misinterpreting what it's meant to provide. Emulator builds don't have the regular security model intact or OS updates, etc.

Thanks for the reply, yeah, my interest was to test compatibility when we add support for Play Integrity to our app.
