Amazing project. This has the same feel as Karpathy’s classic “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks” blog post. I think in 10 years’ time we will look back and say “wow, this is how it started.”

Thank you. I got something (but not the full method) working. However, I ended up abandoning this approach because I realized that the SDS process is too slow. It'd take at least 10 mins to generate a single SVG.

It's probably because it's trying to guess what the filter condition should be and uses the wrong casing for the genre (should be "Sci-Fi", not "sci-fi"). At least that's what happened when I tried your prompt a couple of times.

Sometimes it gets the casing correct by accident straight away, other times it struggles. When it does struggle, I just keep typing "fix" in the chat, and eventually it figures it out. Sometimes it asks me to run a query to determine the distinct set of genres, sometimes it just decides to lowercase the genre column in the filter condition.

I'm working on something related but for the web: https://www.sqltab.com/

It's an alpha version and barely works at this point but at the very least you can use it to browse SQLite tables without installing anything on your computer.

It uses the WASM build of SQLite with OPFS for persistence. The main focus of this will be to manipulate JSON stored in an SQLite table. I need this for one of my existing workflows. In particular, I want the ability to flatten a JSON tree into tabular format: https://youtu.be/z0QvxyMybKA

In a way it's not surprising that people are getting vastly different results out of LLMs. People have different skill levels when it comes to using even Google. An LLM has a vastly bigger input space.

I do something similar in my file-renamer app (sort.photos if you want to check it out):

1. Render first 2 pages of PDF into a JPEG offline in the Mac app.

2. Upload JPEG to ChatGPT Vision and ask what would be a good file name for this.

It works surprisingly well.

Is there a Guassian splat model that works without the "Structure from Motion" step to extract the point cloud? That feels a bit unsatisfying to me.

I often feel like Docker shouldn't even be needed for Go apps. It's just so easy to have your dependencies in order if everything is statically linked.

I agree. Skepticism usually serves people well as a lot of new tech turns out to be just hype. Except when it is not and I think this is one of those few cases.

I don't understand their worries. What are they trying to achieve with this? I can understand e.g. not wanting to have affiliate links on fraudulent/deceptive websites, but how is a search interface hurting anybody?

I remember checking out pongo2 briefly before deciding on templ, but my lack of familiarity with its syntax kept me away. I guess the calculus is much different if you have prior experience, but for me it was attractive that templ uses Go syntax in its templates (with some exceptions).

Yeah, passing data if for some reason you can't use templ's `script` block can be annoying, if that's what you meant! I think they should make sure that the `script` block works in every situation and then it's going to be way less awkward.
