I want to recompile a Rust project to be f32 instead of f64.

Am I better off buying 1 month of Codex, Claude, or Antigravity?

I want to have the agent continuesly recompile and fix compile errors on loop until all the bugs from switching to f32 are gone.


If I'm not mistaken Codex is free until April 2nd with the previous generous rate limits (while paying customers get 2x).

Literally just find and replace

find and replace is step 1 that generates all the compile errors I want it to loop through

I'm wanting to do it on an entire programming language made in rust: https://github.com/uiua-lang/uiua

Because there are no float32 array languages in existence today


Why do you want a float32 array language? Anyway the free glm4.6 model that is opencode defaults to should be fine. Why pay for something to do this.

Doesn't matter which one. All of them can do things like this now, given a good enough feedback loop. Which your problem has.

All of them can do it but Codex has the least frustrating usage limits.

When using it in VSCode? The browser system running its own container seems like it would be the most demanding on their resources. The stand-alone client is Mac-only but I don't know if it makes a difference.

My goal is to do it within the usage I get from a $20 monthly plan.


Can't modern Flash compile to HTML5? Can the open alternatives also do that?

I wish SWF became a common HTML5 transpile format.


No, it cannot. It can sort of compile some animations (with the libary EaselJS), but you have to use javascript instead of actionscript - but it is really not the same like it was in flash. Basically it does not work for me and I abandoned Adobe Animate and still looking for replacement of the lost Garden of Flash Utopia.

Flash required a browser plugin to work. It was handling video and 3D animation a decade before the <video> and <canvas> elements were added to the HTML5 spec.

HTML 5 offers nothing to match Flash capabilities.

Perhaps you could render to Canvas/WebGL/WebGPU, but you still need to reproduce the entire engine there.



I didn't know emoji now worked in HN, they're usually stripped. I just tried now and sure enough it was stripped. How did you get that emoji to render?

This one is special. You can use it too.

⌚ Wow that's cool! I wonder why it's exempted.

The response is good if this means ads like that will never happen.

Google though... they make fake ad Emails so fake ad Replies seems exactly like their style.


Why would it need more than 1? Couldn't they do this with any Mac with an Apple account?

It appears he is selling a service where he comes to you (optionally with a Mac Mini which is probably why he's buying multiple) and sets up OpenClaw for you.

That truly cant be it right? This is like satire? How much do you even charge for that?

Unfortunately not satire, and the answer is $500

Mac Minis are perfect for locally running demanding models because they can effectively use ordinary RAM as VRAM.

but people dont use OpenClaw with local models

They definitely do. A common configuration is running a supervisor model in the cloud and a much smaller model locally to churn on long running tasks. This frees Openclaw up to lavishly iterate on tool building without running through too many tokens.

Unless you're running a large local model in 192GB+ this just won't be ideal, based on real-world experience.

Considering there are 1.5M openclaw agents, created by 17,000 humans, it seems like some people really would use more than 1.

Are you saying that software is THAT inefficient so that you can’t run a few hundred of them on a single Mac Mini? : D

if you are counting reported moltbook accounts there are not, the API was spammed by scripts to create accounts

This was on HN a few days ago, I wasn't counting anything:

There are few open source projects coming along that let you sell your compute power in a decentralized way. I don't know how genuine some of these are [0] but it could be the reason: people are just trying to make money.

0. https://www.daifi.ai/


There have been countless projects to sell distributed compute power. I don't know of any that have gotten much traction. Everyone keeps trying to create new ones instead of developing for the existing ones.

The one you linked to looks clearly like a pump-and-dump scam, though.


That one definitely looks like a crypto scam.

The free plan makes me want to use it like Glitch. But every free service like this ever has been burned...

It seems import to highlight these more. Aren't all the limitations of using this based around their limitations?

componentize-py – Python to WebAssembly Component compilation

+

jco – JavaScript toolchain for WebAssembly Components

I'm curious how Wasi 0.3 cross language components will go for something like this.


I agree; this project looks impressive, but I'm guessing there are some rough edges in the transpilation "magic" that should be called out.

That's the crux of how usable this is going to be for people's use cases, and it's better to document the limitations upfront.


I recreated many Node.js built-ins so compatibility is actually quite extended.

For Python, the main limitation is indeed C extensions. I'm looking for solutions. the move to WASI 0.3 will certainly help with that.


WebXR has a good WebXR Discord

I'm pretty sure Moltbook started as an crypto coin scam and then people fell for it and took the astroturfed comments seriously.

You can easily see the timeline here: https://x.com/StriderOnBase/status/2016561904290791927

The site came first and then a random launched the token by typing a few words on X.


Thanks that is good to know. If those bots are unrelated it tricked them into promoting the scam.

Describing those algebras in quaternion terms simplifies understanding most of them. Like biquaternions and dual quaternions.

A 2d quaternion just has no j or k term and works for 2d math.
