Wait! "Boobs" is not profanity!

It can use Openrouter or local LLMs like ollama - it says lm_studio but I couldn't get that working. I'm sure it will support any Openai compatible interface.

Home aider is AI pair programming in your terminal

You can ask it for code and it will give it to you and save it to a file, AND, if you like, initialize a git repo and commit it with a "sensible commit message". Check it out if that sounds like your jam:

If anyone is following my adventures in AI-ing, I found another tool that seems to have potential. It's a terminal based AI client with extra features. You can ask it for commands, it will show you them, and you can "approve" it to run them.

Not uncommon, tbh. It's a little too geeky for most folks.

LOL :D I'm starting to see folks here from TwiX. Lots more than I saw on Mastodon or Threads. LOL

So you gonna follow me or what? LOL >:)

It all starts with Shel Silverstein. He's a gateway drug.

You know, like, the party can start now, right?

So "Justine".. go or no-go?

( I hit follow as soon as I saw the handle :D )

Same! I love your energy even when we occasionally disagree :D

I think we should start a betting pool with over/under on how long each appointment will last before dissolving in rage and recriminations lol

Heya. I just followed you but can't message you :D

McMahon just KILLS me. WTF, over? LOL jesus.

If you do a lot of coding, check out windsurf from codeium. It's a bespoke build of vscode and you can allow the AI to actually edit files build artifacts too. It's still "working through it" but it's overall awesome.

Yeah, need a lot more mofos here before I'm shutting down my TwiX account.

I have tried to build a code generation process but the magic has thus far evaded me (ie, provide requirements, and it builds, tests, and debugs until it meets requirements). I have it working for singly python or go functions tho!

Oh, I've been using 'em for coding for some time. I've gotten some stuff pretty well sorted - I use Codeium and Claude mostly. I built a "storage box manager" in go and react and I bet I wrote maybe 5% of the code. LOL.

Like "What if I have X happen to Character Y at time Z?" And it said "That's an interesting twist. You could expore A, B, and C implications and build dynamic tension with D complication!"

Overall, I highly recommend this use case to writers. Fun stuff, and no "write this for me".

I asked it if there were areas I should expand on and it gave me six, and five of them were *very good*. It's maybe a bit too positive in tone but overall it was SUPER impressive and useful, even for brainstorming!

The result was *impressive*. I uploaded my nascent novel to Claude's "project" folder and asked it questions. I asked it to check continuity - and it did! I asked it to check for consistent character descriptions and it found two errors.

But human editors are fickle and expensive or friends who wont' be honest at the risk of hurting your feelings. So a few days ago I decided to ask Claude. (Anthropic's frontier AI model).

But a big problem I have is that I'm not a very good self-editor - I mean, shit, I said it that way because it seemed right and reading it again ain't gonna make me think it wasn't. I need some feedback.

I'm a writer. I mean, I write. I'm not a PUBLISHED writer, and I don't get paid for it, but I've done it my whole life, compulsively. I've written several novels and deleted them to protect humanity from my prose.

I've been playing with AI for a while, using local models and cloud models, just trying to figure out what they're good for. Because I think we haven't really reached that solution yet. But let me tell you about the best use case I've found so far.

We'll see how it shakes out. It's hard to compete wiht market share, but you know, if enough folks connect...

Wow. Starting to see some of my TwiX peeps showing up. Make for a nice change of pace to have a real circle here!

Twitter's always been a shithole. It's my circle that keeps me there. If everybody moves somewhere else, I'm in! :D
