    Honest opinion programming is easy and fun when you learn it and it saves you time and allows you to test your ideas. Creating something gives you dopamine.

    Problem is before people even try any programming for themselves, they are introduced to it through school or work where they have to do it for homeworks or analysis while also learning new things. And they hate it.










  • And who says AI means neural network? That’s what we use, doesn’t mean that’s the only AI possible to write. There are a lot of different models, neural network is popular right now because it can learn from data without anyone having to teach it actual logic. An AI written by fictional character can be a deterministic kind with very similar logic to humans that you can inspect and write and give weights to things.


  • Yeah but the people who made it like that probably understand whether to trust it to write code or not. The AI Tony wrote, he knows what it does best and he trusts it to write his code. Just because it’s AI doesn’t mean it’s LLM. Like I trust the errors compilers give me even if I didn’t write them because it’s good. And I trust my scripts to do things that I wrote them for, specifically since I tested them. Same with the AI you yourself made, you’d test it, and you’d know the design principles.




  • I use emacs, and it can change font size and font face similar to the font color during syntax highlights. Like in markdown or LaTeX headings are larger font, math formula have their system where superscript and subscript have higher/lower baseline. In org mode it can even convert the whole latex snippet into formula and display as image, or show inline images. And in rust it has type hints and other information overlayed along side the code you wrote, it even adds little buttons on tests you can click to run them.

    So I think what you want can probably be made easily if you have a solid grasp of what you want. Emacs is basically extensible using a programming language (elisp) so technically there’s nothing you can’t do logic wise, there might be some limitations on displaying things though.






  • I’ll keep saying it. Let’s have a journal system for negative results and replication studies. Give partial credits for it relative to journal papers with novelty.

    So if you have an idea you can search there, see if someone has tried it and failed, and how they failed. You can also search a certain paper and see if people have replicated the study.

    It’ll help everyone immensely.
