Without any restrictions except, well, performance, and still a fair amount of library choices. It’s just easier to use Go (TinyGo, actually) instead.

I would concur, although I am using Edge instead of Brave (work requires it, but I also adopted it as a personal alternative to Safari for when I need Chromium).

I give it two weeks until people start running the meshes through AI:

Claude Opus was able to perfectly replicate an angular/functional part without decimating it, so I would expect the next step to be explicitly instructing AI to clean up meshes.

That's pretty impressive! However this workflow could have trouble dealing with the types of meshes coming out of those 3D generative algorithms. Geometries are arbitrary (not simple geometric shapes) so you'll have to fit with NURBS, and the meshes are noisy so that'll struggle/be somewhat arbitrary (what do you consider feature, what do you consider noise?).

However you highlight what I think is the way forward: using scriptable CAD that can leverage LLMs or, maybe in the future, specialized generative algorithms that output in a sane geometry specification.

I came here to comment because this was posted by… Bender, which I found hilarious.

It’s not even the key combo, iOS and autocorrect will do it for you.

Yep. Like I said elsewhere on the thread, some of them already have enough karma to downvote.

Yeah, and some of them already have enough karma to downvote you if you call them out, which is infuriating…

I still call voodoo on this. I use an iPhone, iPad, Mac to comment here—all of them autocorrect to em dashes at one point or another. Same goes for ellipsis.

Why would recently created accounts be 10x more likely to be created by owners of Apple products or English majors than the baseline?

I doubt it explains any reasonable fraction of this, but github moving from early adopter techies to general population "normies" would be a reason for the shift. I would expect it explains at least some increase in the use of em-dashes.

Do general population normies really use em-dash, or do they just reach for the dash they see clearly printed on their keyboard?

I think they're pressing the default dash (actually a hyphen) twice, and that autocompletes to a single em dash.

You can remove em dashes from the analysis and the trend is still there: newly created accounts are still 6X more likely to use the remaining LLM indicators (arrows and bullets, p = 0.00027).

Ellipses were never part of the analysis.

Firefox Mac - did this get autocorrected to an em dash ... ?

Looks like no. It's probably Safari that "knows better".

I’ve built my own flavor (https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw) and use it to batch convert documentation, check some news (it runs Playwright and sends me summaries of specific sites that don’t have RSS feeds) and do moderate tweaks to my website (like re-tagging posts and adding reference links).

Thanks for sharing!

Nice trick. I’m going to see how I can apply it to tool calls in pi.dev as well

That means a lot, thank you! Would love to hear your feedback once you try it — and an upvote would be much appreciated if you find it useful
