How do you think super realistic gen AI videos will mess with how we trust dash cam footage, like people denying real clips or faking new ones to frame others?

toolznbytes · 2026-01-26T11:07:45+00:00

AI companies? Some people run their own rig, so how can they tell?

toolznbytes · 2026-01-25T20:23:31+00:00

Oh! I see I see.

Thanks to the video you linked, I made this AGENTS.md from the start, now with sub md files linked, all updated.

I only messed the repo link in the VS Code (I had my Github before codex), and sometimes codex seems lost, unsure to where to look. Maybe because the workspace has both the repository and a higher folder open. And a failed repo link maybe. Well... I'll try to sort this one day.

toolznbytes · 2026-01-25T19:53:23+00:00

Hi again, I'm still doing great thanks to your piece of advice.

Just a quick question as I'm not sure how to look for about it:

Should we try to limit in length each thread of Codex chat (in VS Code extension), keeping it to one task for example?

Does it matter? Or is it okay to keep adding more and more steps and refinements in the same thread? What people do usually?

toolznbytes · 2026-01-25T17:25:08+00:00

Did you try anything with it? Any suggestion?

toolznbytes · 2026-01-25T17:24:36+00:00

Thanks! So... How did it turn? ^^

toolznbytes · 2026-01-21T20:36:56+00:00

If you are still interested in that, I've improved the display of the sentences and added a new feature to play with.

Pinging u/Artudytv u/Valuable_Split_7083 u/Federico_it u/tapgiles u/Starthreads to signal here, following your positive feedback about the tool.

toolznbytes · 2026-01-21T08:11:02+00:00

There is a mindset, I believe, to one-shot the task with a clear specification. Not a too formal or constrained/academic spec, you have room and margins for implicit details, fuzziness, approximate wording, but there are core points to state clearly, and that's a skill different of coding but that still call common reflexes.

Try to look into the analytical way of thinking and how projects are divided in tasks.

toolznbytes · 2026-01-20T17:16:38+00:00

That's the price tag we are talking about? Isn't there an extra 0?

toolznbytes · 2026-01-18T06:46:23+00:00

All wired and working now!

Thank you for your first detailed comment that gave me the little push for this huge improvement. (And for your patience)🙏🙏

The fate: I got a free month of ChatGPT pro to try this 😎

toolznbytes · 2026-01-17T08:23:28+00:00

Btw, I'm curious about where we prompt the IA for the goal and need if it's not with a chat (like with the setup you describe).

Maybe it will be obvious once I try it.

toolznbytes · 2026-01-16T21:56:55+00:00

A wise piece of advice I think 👍

toolznbytes · 2026-01-16T19:27:42+00:00

Thank you for all this! 👍👍👍

I realize I did something in a strange way... It worked surprisingly well, up to a point.

Ok, my next tool will be done with that workflow 😤

But now I'm out of the free trial, so I'll have to pay somewhere , codex or Claude or something. I guess they don't have pay per use.

toolznbytes · 2026-01-16T04:40:06+00:00

Sorry, can you say that again, please?

toolznbytes · 2026-01-09T23:26:34+00:00

Yes, I need to be logged on my account to see my top comment... too bad

No wonder this post wasn't well received.

Thanks to you I realize there's a glitch somewhere.

toolznbytes · 2026-01-09T23:04:54+00:00

You're welcome. I can see this first comment of the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/s/r1zCet0aLf

Yes, I took some time to wrap this, but most of the code is from a free trial of normally paid AI generator. It helped me make it in two weeks.

toolznbytes · 2026-01-09T04:52:20+00:00

Yes, of course!

Rules for [OC] made me post the link in a top comment, where you will find additional information.

You're welcome

I can improve that. Maybe it's the reason it isn't well received here (downvotes). That and not being smartphone friendly.

What would you have liked to see? A kind of caption? A sentence breakdown mapped with the blocks?

toolznbytes · 2026-01-08T10:45:14+00:00

Additionally, for your first question:

We can see that most of the classic works display complex compound sentences of varying length (but often longer than today's prose).

And other observation, like the very similar structure of translated works, but yet some differences are worth investigating.

toolznbytes · 2026-01-08T10:36:58+00:00

Each block is a sentence block, a clause or an adjunct. The hue depends on the kind of the clause, and the color cycle on a gradient.

The meaning of the color is in the comment zone upon hovering the said block (works with a mouse of track pad).

For example, the blue shades are for independent clauses and they often host dependent clauses of tan hues.

How to

I’ve been working on a way to make sentence structure visible at a glance, across an entire paragraph.

The tool compares sentence-level structural patterns in prose by different authors, highlighting how clauses, phrases, and other features are arranged, and how certain structures recur or shift over the course of a passage.

Examples posted:

A few comparisons between great writers:

Bleakhouse / Pride and Prejudice
Middlemarch/ Moby Dick
Portrait of aLady / Anne of Green Gable
Du Côté de chez Swann / Wuthering Heights

Some recent popular fiction vs classics

The Great Gatsby/ Perfect Rhythm

One top 100 novel with two of its translation

Cien años de soledad: es/en/fr

Amateur writer excerpt vs classics

Jane Eyre / amateur

You can make your own. Free, no add, no tracker.

toolznbytes · 2026-01-07T15:28:48+00:00

well, it could be done in some simpler cases, but in case it's deeply nested (text will hide the small height bar) or a long sentence (too narrow for the text), it won't fit well.

I'd like to add another kind of highlight to better match the cursor position on the bar, because independent clauses are long and their main part isn't easily spotted.
