Are you not creating this tool yourself?

I have the impression that the cost of using Claude to do something non-trivial is rising rapidly, so I appreciate someone sharing their experiments. Maybe my opinion will change, and I'm thinking that AI generated stuff might be best annotated as such so that the context is clear (and any that don't want to look at it have that option).

It certainly looks like Claude is doing some portion of the work and I suspect the rapid progress on this tool is very much a result of that.

How long would it take before someone achieved the same without Claude?

We don't have many people interested in creating new Lisa software/hardware, so my personal opinion (for now, at least) is that we should encourage anyone that wants to, whether they choose to use AI or not.

Quote from: sigma7 on Yesterday at 08:44:13 PMI think I've noticed that parts of some recent postings have a distinctly non-human style and now wondering if we should have a formal requirement to style such content so it is easy to recognize the portion that is AI output... comments/suggestions?

I think it is important to know if you are interacting with an AI, BOT or human. Which is why I clearly put is "Claude says". I think a policy of that type would be good for LisaList2 IMHO.

If you follow the threads, the output was from vibecoding so the logical answer is from the AI.

I very much agree. I am about $300 into this so far and I doubt I am 1/2 done.

YES. Alex using Claude and providing examples for the Minesweeper app is what inspired my projects.

I personally think this could be a 'big break' for getting apps going for the LOS and a more active community. We will see.

I was worried about anti-AI when I made this post asking about posting vibecode here or on Github.

I DO think it is very important to be clear about what is AI and what is not.

I am not a developer, so I could not even begin any of the projects I am working on, and so far as I can tell, no one else was currently working on them.

All of it is built on the generous sharing of previous projects by others who are more knowledgeable and talented, as I always make clear.

I was given the advice (see thread link above) to use the tool to learn about the Lisa OS and development as I went, and that is exactly what I am doing.

Quote from: bmwcyclist on Yesterday at 06:08:42 PMOne thing: the files downloaded by the LOS app are indeed available in the Workshop. That is how I update the application! Unless you mean you don't want to switch to the Workshop from LOS? I am hoping this will also be useful to folks who are not developers. I do have a workshop version; it's just clunky without the interface


Once I upload some source code file to the Lisa, the next logical step is to compile it and link it. This can be done only in Workshop (asfarasiknow). It does not make sense to boot into LOS, receive the file, then reboot into Workshop to compile it.



I see what you are saying, and that makes perfect sense.

For me, I need to go into LOS to test the code, and most of the time, the changes I want don't work.

So I write some problem descriptions, look for sources, request new code, and download it while I am still in the LOS, using a known-good version on my floppy.

So for me, there is no wasted reboot.

Early on, the code was failing during compile or link, but that rarely happens now.

I did have a version that was Workshop-only before I got far enough along to get it into the LOS. I will try to publish that also! Thank you for the feedback!
