I have one of these, really nice!

I tried both and went for Continue. It lives in its own pane, much clearer how to interact with it.

I just throw all relevant source code files (entirely) on it, paste the error message and it usually shows me what's going on. Or at least it utters a hunch, which is a good next step to find the error.

I'm using it in VS Code to help me write my Flutter app. Used their preview model (ChatGPT 3.5?) for most of the time, now I switched to my own ChatGPT 4 API key for having more context. It replaced StackOverflow for me and it helped me to learn Flutter, as it was able to explain its own code to me. Really great!

Been using it for some months. Totally amazing!

Great to see this! Keep it up, Eric and team!

I occasionally smear paint on canvases :-)

(Full disclosure: It's me on stage. I recently had the honor to give this talk.)

I believe that we should play more. We're undervaluing play - it's so good, and somehow we don't always perceive it as the powerful tool it is.

I'm looking forward to hear your opinions! What do you think?

Really cool, congratulations!

I updated it! Thank you!

(One of my previous talks has gotten some pretty big attention back then, if you want some fun from the past, check it out:

:-))

I've been eager to share this talk online for so long, now, finally, that day has come. I'm happy to hear your opinion on it!

The topic of the talk -- I think we're not playing enough -- comes straight from my heart, I believe that we should play much, much more.

If you're interested in checking them out, here are the projects I talk about in the talk:

- Perspectives in Play, board games that help kids learn about politics: https://www.perspectives-in-play.com/de

- Creactivities, a chatbot that trains our creative muscles: https://www.creactiviti.es/

- aicracy, a critical design project about an AI-governed society: https://www.aicracy.net/

(They all were previously on HN, but only aicracy was discussed in greater depth: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34577617)

Looking forward to hear what you think! :-)

[Full disclosure: It's me on stage here. You don't often see faces on HN, so: nice to meet you! ;)]

How cool is that! Pebbltastic!

It's so good to see this movement gaining momentum.

Interestingly, if I had put only the paintings online, without the stamp on the back and the statement, a line of criticism could have been

'This is meaningless art.'

Now that I'm claiming it to be meaningless art, we're finding ourselves in a discussion that this can't be.

Beautiful!

Thank you, that's a great differentiation, too. I went for the former, but the latter is equally important, too, of course!

> artistic intent being missing != disinterest That's a very fine and thoughtful differentiation, thank you!

The improvisional jazz is probably a good metaphor. When painting, I indeed look at balanced composition, working contrasts – for some pictures, even the glue wouldn't hold the entire thing together. All of that has to be in place for the improvisational part to work, too.

Thank you!

I never liked artist's statements, either. Perhaps that was also what motivated me to do the stamp thing. I want to paint in peace :-)

Thank you, it's been on my list anyway!

(Even if I'll have to cross off the stamp on the back after reading it ...)

Thank you, all credit goes to Branko Matic's fantastic Kirby theme 'ZeroOne" :-)

Thank you! I'll definitely save this entire discussion here as a PDF and save it in the 'projects archive'. Amazing comments!

Wow, that's something I hadn't thought about yet. I'm also not sure if that's true, but it'd be a satisfying, calming thought if it were. Can you perhaps elaborate?

Thanks! It's great to read all your comments here. I appreciate a good mixture of aesthetics and self-referential logic conundrums. ;-)

That's a good measure, too. It doesn't even have to count for any viewer, it can be only for the artist – even if they don't ever view the painting after making it.

That would make a great new stamp, with lots of fine print and ever shrinking font size ;-)

That's an interesting point that got me thinking already:

No, I wasn't aware of that when painting most of the pictures. I just enjoyed the process of painting. But, as you can imagine, wall space gets limited after painting number 25, and at some point they were hanging in the staircase, all the way down to our basement. So I thought about selling them.

That was the point when I thought that I'd love to mark them as painted without any intent. That was before picture 25, I'd say.

Now, number 26 was painted KNOWING that I'd be marking it as painted without anything in mind, which somehow (same for all upcoming pictures) increases the 'pressure' of not adding any meaning.

Until now, I'm comfortable with that (the painting process is so much fun), and it's probably a thing worth exploring further. Perhaps I could write something contradictory on the front?
