Yeah it's definitely useful for starting new projects. I've found it helpful for things like

- "Write the CMake file"
- "Write a GitHub CI yml"
- "Write tests for this class"
- "Update this function with X"

It really shines if you can give it a straightforward task with a narrow scope.

My trick is to write out a project skeleton with interfaces then ask for implementations.

I.e. most of the design work falls to you, but the implementation is done by the LLM.

I've also found that the model matters a lot. The paid versions of ChatGPT and Claude are necessary for bigger projects.

This is with cycles.

For the second question it's complicated because I didn't know what I was doing.

I click a button in blender which uploads the .blend file to S3. The render farm downloads and renders that file.

It sounds like a universal scene description file would be less error prone.

Exactly.

Toddlers develop a symbol for "thing exists but is not present" around age 2.

It's not a far jump to "thing does not exist but maybe could".

Those two symbols are the basis for human planning.

Early humans probably benefited a lot from cooperative manipulation of imagined scenarios.

Yeah, I've reached out to the IETF Trust before about this. They said I'm free to print things so long as I don't use their logo.

My main issue is that the RFCs are 8.5x11 by default. That page size makes an unpleasant book.

They probably have them printed out somewhere.

They were originally for personal use, but I'm considering making them available for purchase.

The conversion process needs a little more work before I'd feel comfortable selling them.

That said, I'm not sure which RFCs to focus on. Let me know if you have any suggestions for specific RFCs.

IETF is a standards organization that governs internet protocols.

An RFC is a document specifying a protocol.

These documents are provided in a digital-only format. I am converting them into hardcover books.

So far I've converted these RFCs:

OSPFv2
SIP
RTP
BGP-4
X.509 PKI
SMTP
NTPv4
TLSv1.3

Wow! This is seriously impressive.

Do you have plans to use this as a component in a larger project?

I'm a little late to the party, but this reminds me of dumping stack saved registers during kernel panics for clang-compiled ARM kernels.

There's a fun trick to find the function prologue by parsing the bytecode of the instruction before the saved LR.
