Forcing AI to Self-Test and Debug Its Own Code – Epic Fails and Wins - ShopTalk!
00:00 - Hey Jerome…
00:45 - Could you use AI to write a test suite to verify the Basic interpreter?
02:13 - Isn’t there a coding LLM that can automatically test and debug its own code?
02:52 - What happens if you tell it to implement usr() and the jump table?
03:21 - How about a version in 6502 assembly code, like the real thing?
03:55 - The code is horrific… Maybe you make another video about the code quality?
04:34 - How about a Basic interpreter in the browser? Would that be doable?
05:25 - Which LLM do you use? Is it a special subscription?
07:14 - How long before something like a modern Linux kernel can be made on demand. And who owns that code?
08:12 - I cant imagine how many man hours the same would take? Can OpenAI estimate the equivalent Man Hours?
12:25 - Can you tell something about your LLM setup in VSCode, please? Are you using local models?
13:20 - Wondering if you can share how to use the AI itself?
14:18 - Any chance you could paste those prompts here?
14:44 - Did it emulate the hard ones like LOAD, SCRATCH, FRE, INPUT#, SYS, etc.?
15:41 - What is that copilot Agent (full access) indicator in your vscode?
16:15 - Have you tried other AI extensions for VS Code?
18:04 - What VSC theme are you using?
18:49 - I mean what donkey chooses to have a cloud based password manager?
20:54 - And if it’s not an issue with a specific data center but with something like DNS, how do those fail over?
22:01 - Who said: The cloud is safer? I’ve never heard that.
23:48 - Why would I, as an individual or small company, need or want cloud when I have an external SSD drive?
24:19 - Dave make a video about msi installers.
25:03 - Are the power requirements of these machines compatible with residential electrical service?
26:46 - Do you use these devices for anything?
27:05 - TLDR: Respectfully, is it useful for anything?
28:25 - Can you explain what split ID space is?
29:31 - Could we see the USB-SCSI interface please?
32:07 - So Dave, when are you getting a Vax?
33:05 - So this is the infamous don’t forget to tip your server scenario?
33:46 - How do you have the time to do all of that and also run a YouTube channel?
34:06 - Anyone else as amused as I am at the mental image of Dave doing those swoopy-camera shots of the hardware?
34:51 - In the early 2000 and late 90 .. the command /con/con would bluescreen the whole computer. Can you please explain why?
36:13 - I noticed a Tektronix 4014 storage tube graphic terminal standing there are there any plans to use it?
37:05 - Do you have to enjoy maple syrup to be considered an honorary Canadian?
38:50 - Omg. !!! The Friendly Giant! Why put that in your video other than you had that in your childhood too??
40:01 - That’s a sweet sounding keyboard. What’s it packing down there?
41:27 - cool T, where can i get one?
43:10 - The Friendly Coder outro
43:32 - Maybe a blooper or two…
