I've been pondering having some kind of environment that the language model can just modify the application in real time while it is running.

I asked chatgpt and it said hot reloading in a browser, but thats not what i'm talking about. I'm meaning realtime high performance desktop applications that the user can prompt to change the app in realtime while it is running.

The closest thing i saw to this was something called VibeOS, but thats a whole operating system.

It is here for many decades: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEz08IlcNMg

You'd need source code for the stack, something like OLPC's stack where you have source for everything that's running and then to glue that to an LLM.

Why would you want the model to modify the application in real time? If you could give real world examples.

I'm not a lisper, but it's one of the oft-touted wins of lisp.

I think that you are talking about smalltalk or any other image based programming language.

That's Smalltalk

"rewrite unreal engine in rust, make no mistakes"

That’s exactly what I did! How’d you know?

Didn’t mean to make you upset sorry

"If you're toilet is leaking its probably a faulty flapper" is rooted into my brain. What is a flapper, and why is it called a flapper?

I have a few personal projects, i let codex do all the code - i do the thinking and testing.

One time, something didn't work as expected - its the first time it happened with this project. I read through the section of code and it was perfectly readable and well-written.

Turned out a plugin wasn't effecting the audio, so i just got it to pad some blank audio onto the beginning before processing it, then remove it at the end of the process. That fixed the issue, there was nothing wrong with the code but my ability to think laterally is what made it work.

We're getting to the stage where you can just ask them to write code and they will do what you want, and it writes good code. Its up to you to test everything beyond the internal tests it writes.

I knew this was possible, i asked chatgpt about a year ago and it said no the latency would be too big of a problem. I spent the best part of a year learning libp2p and was looking for a project to do with it at the time.

That is good news for once
