Lovely. I wonder how many people did similar things in their own django instances because the lack of embedded monitor is often a source of friction.

I think any large enough django project has toyed around with extending the admin in some way. Hopefully this project can help establish a standard to make this sort of thing easier.

Crazy to think that Fortnite might unleash a new population of people who toyed with functional-logic as their first paradigm.

This is the first thing that I used LLMs on. Not code generation, but parser and tooling to gain understanding. Also saves resources in the long run.

One of my favorite uses for Claude Code is to point it at a section of seriously badly written code with undecipherable symbol names, over the top cyclomatic complexity etc and just ask it to make the code readable.

there's a similar story by kragen on .. hmm HN or maybe SO where he describes a bootstrapping from a micro hand crafted asm monitor to forth to more and higher level languages. "stuck-in-a-basement" kindof challenge.

schemers used a good old `compose` instead of a dedicated syntax

and beside multiple-args, there's the usual threading macros

Always loved using old hardware with recent understandings.

I don't think there's anything recent here, they are just pre-computing a normal map which doubles as already "baking" a 3D-looking image in.

Was there anything of that sort made during the gbc era on this hardware ? I thought nobody ever attempted it before

Not exactly this, but many "3D games" were pre-computed scenes. The normal map is the novel bit of this demo.

Ok, and at the time, was anybody even thinking about computing normal maps this way on such hardware ? that was my original though, "maybe" this is the result of applying more recent ideas for this group to hardware that wasn't made to support it. But maybe i'm wrong and people did try.

Makes me wonder who printed their motherboards early on

Great link, he also discusses the start of his lab. The discovery of bioelectricity induced eye "modeling" was ..kinda crazy.

Also, I've been trying to find people to discuss this, so I set up a discord server:

https://discord.gg/gdaSgDgC5y

if anyone is interest (note: i'm just a software engineer, not in biomedicine or bioelectricity yet). if there are already long running discord servers then i'd rather join these instead :)

That was my first question. Somehow people thought that a tool able to generate an entire fullstack app from a few sentences is not capable of inferring needs based on context or customer directly.
