    I use it on Mac - I didn’t notice too much. There’s some GPU usage, I assume Apple still has some deprecated OpenCL drivers kicking around that it knows to use.

    I guess, just to play devils advocate, what if code turns out to just be the minimally expressive communication medium required for a human to maintain agency over the function of …

    I think the real issue might be that how “good” the code is matters less than being able to form a mental model for what the human who wrote the code was “thinking”. If written by …

    That is quite literally exactly what they have done

    Slightly unrelated: are the OCCT unfolding components a paid add on or included in the open source distribution?

    I don't necessarily agree in this case - OCCT is more than capable for what FreeCAD is offering. Add to that the development trajectory of OCCT also seems to be really taking off r…

    That would require calibration with the camera, and even then the camera and lidar sensor can’t be in exactly the same place. I doubt results would be better.

    I'm so confused. Sentry is a native client crash reporting tool. What does this have to do with MCP or the LLM itself? Do you mean when interpreting the crash data?

    Qt is not a horrible mess to use, the problem is just people don't bother to learn any tech stack outside web. It's so obvious that this is the issue to anybody who actually does n…

    Qt with QML works fine. The real reason is that companies can't hire enough native developers because the skill is comparitively rare.

    Only if they work in a fundamentally different manner. We can't solve that problem the way we are building LLMs now.

    Definitely a good one - probably one of the best CLAUDE.md files you can put in any repository if you care about your project at all.

    After a cursory glance at commit messages, looks like most of it. Like all AI co-authored code it’s a matter of time before this becomes unmaintainable and abandoned.

    The reason most creative media is good is because you see the vision of a creative team or individual. If the vision is diluted due to lack of control afforded by AI tools, then th…

    I’ve seen skeuomorphic designs done with vector art, surely this can’t be the only/real reason.

    Just because I’m curious, why the issue with reading GPL code? My understanding is that you would have to essentially directly copy and paste the code for the GPL license to apply …

    This is a fantastic tool and I recommend it! I use it every day to recursively solve bottlenecks in our code base.
