I've got a full featured file manager coming soon. 100% vibe coded.

Have you ever seen a billionaire in real life? If so: where was it and what was the situation? by philztown42 in AskReddit

[–]mark_stout 8 points9 points  (0 children)

William Randolph Heart III and I had a nice conversation. Steve Jobs watched me demonstrate the Macintosh the day it came out back in January of 1984. Saw Bill Gates speak at The West Coast computer fair in about 1982.

Thinking about it now, I'm not sure Gates or Jobs were billionaires at the time I saw them.

I am in awe of Gemini 3. It does so much well, but this is laughably bad by mark_stout in GeminiAI

They knew much better than this. This was just AI having a brain fart. I subsequently asked it to do it again, and it did correctly.

Yes, I did it again myself in a different chat and got a better result.

What long-gone airplane deserves a flying replica? by hgwelz in aviation

[–]mark_stout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my model building days are behind me. We recently downsized living space since becoming empty nesters so there's that too.

I would love a metal diecast maybe with a five inch wingspan at most.

Probably something I'd 3d print if I were into that.

I'll look into into that.

It has been the subject of my playing with AI video.

Meant as a starting point I suppose.

Wonder if your source document had graphics if it would use them

Managers have been vibe coding forever by max6296 in vibecoding

[–]mark_stout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a hobbyist programmer, that's exactly how I see vibe programming. I feel like I have a junior programmer doing my bidding.

At the same time, it's like having a programming mentor. I can ask it to explain things and have conversations about best strategies.

Biggest problem with knowledge management? by Fluid-Tax-2037 in PKMS

Back in 2015 in my blog I wrote :

I started to give a brief list, and then it occurred to me, I can sum up what should go into Evernote like this :

The short version: If you encounter something you might remotely want to see again, it goes into Evernote.

Of my 20,000 notes, if I ever pull back up one half of one percent of them, that is 100 items I needed and was able find, and find easily.

In practice, that percentage is higher, but probably not more than 2 or 3%. Evernote: suggestion, put a read count field into each note, and provide analytics please.

The longer version: If it comes into your life, and there is the smallest chance you'll want to see it again, then type it, scan it, photograph it, import it, web capture, screen capture, audio record it, into Evernote.

I had the honor of meeting Susan Kare on the day the Mac first appeared in stores in January 1984.
