Isn't this essentially what LLMs do?

Others have said it, but I'm not a fan of the cookie cutter approach. Build on UX patterns that work, but try new things too. It'll be hard to let your brand infuse the design when you're doing a line for line reproduction.


When people finally offload 100% of their brain and forget how to use their creative reasoning abilities my guess is we’ll just all use Tailwind defaults across the board. No need to try new things, nobody will experiment because it’s so easy not to!

(Joking, mostly) but we did see this with Wordpress, Bootstrap, etc. the masses converge on simple web experiences because it’s pretty easy to get something that “just works”.


Only if you set the temperature at 0.

Otherwise you get the divinely inspired result of nvidia's PRNG implementation.


I'm not 100% sure, but I think this tool just types the commands. So it avoids typos and you can just focus on what you're saying as you type nonsense. Sounds like it actually does run your pre-written commands. From the readme:

> What's more, It's a Live is actually running the commands you're typing, so you have full interoperability with other programs.


  > I'm not 100% sure
What is the ambiguity here?

If it is live, it is being done in real time.

If it is pre-recorded it was done previously.

If you call a pre-recorded demo "live" then it is fraud.

What more is there to get?


It seems like you're misunderstanding what parent meant by "prerecorded" - not a screen recording, just pre-writing of commands to be executed during the demo. Would you consider it "deception" to hit up arrow a few times in a terminal during your demo to execute a command from shell history? This is effectively the same. Take a look at the linked repo, it's very clever.


The original link for itsalive says it works by making it not live and the op says just as much.

This is very different from practicing a script and you actually doing all the actions in real time. You're allowed to rehearse for your live performance but unless you're doing it live then it's not live.

People also hate lip syncing because it's a deception of being live.


And yet, ~all singers lipsync, because the point isn't to show off what the artist can do vocally every single night, but to entertain the audience, which lip syncing achieves.


  > And yet, ~all singers lipsync
I think your view of the world is much more pessimistic than reality. Live music is quite common and far more prolific than lip syncing.


Live music of professional, popular singers is mostly lipsynced.


Are you assuming or do you have evidence to back up that claim. Because I actually go outside and watch musicians perform. Are you telling me they fake the errors too? LOL


The inputs are pre-recorded but the outputs aren't.

What more is there to get?


  > but the outputs aren't.
I'm still under the impression that they are?


They aren't.


RTFM

  > Every time you press a key, It's a Live will write one character from the file into the terminal, making it look like you're typing every single command with the practiced ease of a consummate professional.
It's like pressing next on a slide. That's not live. That's lip syncing.

Good god, this isn't that hard man. You're fine to lip sync if you call it lip syncing. Just don't claim you're actually singing when you're not and you're all good. Why is this so difficult to grasp?


I know how it works, I wrote the fucking thing.


The problem is you not knowing what "live demo" means


The readme very nicely contrasts the approach with rsync.


This happened for me, yellow/gold flashy lines around my fish. Maybe you missed it?


Thank you for posting this. DC-X was ground-breaking. Masten also had Xombie in 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FcUEjwDkk


Northrop Grumman Lunar Landet Challenge was before 2010. Works of e.g. Armadillo Aerospace...


Can't speak to the technical details, but if you're looking for feedback- some of the wording on this page feels off.

The specific "8 hrs" is strange, why not just say hours/days saved? It'll be different depending on level of experience anyway.

I'd also change "I have done it for you" to something like "FlutterFlash sets up all of these features, so you can focus on what matters..."


> The specific "8 hrs" is strange, why not just say hours/days saved?

8 hours is specific, a day is ambiguous. See Chinese 996 for example.


Thanks for your feedback, I think about your suggestion.


"No computer needed" really does a lot for the creative process, imo. It's a big reason why Teenage Engineering's OP-1 is so successful, despite its very high price.


Look at the current internet landscape- most users interact, find, and share content through the walled gardens of social networks. I don't think "decentralized open and free" networks are at all inevitable. To me those characteristics are shrinking, not growing.


This isn't what the commentators are referring to when they talk about "the flip".

Rockets traditionally have some type of separation mechanism to separate stage 1 and stage 2. This is usually some type of pyro charge or an actual pneumatic pusher. SpaceX wants to avoid this complexity with Starship and instead "throw" off stage 2 (Starship) by doing a flip with the booster. I don't believe it's been done before for stage separation, but this is also how they deploy Starlink satellites. [0]

Obviously, something went wrong in stage separation today so Booster+Starship just continually flipped. We don't know exactly what the true flip will look like.

A flip for separation sounds like it would waste valuable thrust / fuel. Interesting that they think it's worth it.


Any word on compensation offered?
