I used it only as last resort. I verify it before using it. I only had used it for like .11% of my project. I would not recommend AI.

I’ll admit I did used AI for code before, but here’s the thing. I already coded for years, and I usually try everything before last resort things. And I find that approach works well. I rarely needed to go to the AI route. I used it like for .11% of my coding work, and I verified it through stress testing.

I just write in a language few people really knows well. Not like I expect AI to do a great job of basing off my code.

I only used LLM-generated code once. I tested and made modifications to see if it was I want. It worked out.

In G’MIC, there’s repeat(num_of_iters,_var_name,code();); on JIT code, and repeat code_block done outside of JIT. It has while, for, dowhile on JIT too. Other than repeat, there is only do while, and for which is while outside of JIT.

Note: _var_name, can be omitted. So, if you need to just repeat a code N times, that can be removed.

As always, I do image processing. I’m a G’MIC filter developer. Recently, did some code changes to my combinatorics tools to be insensitive to multi-threaded strategy.

G’MIC solution

it day2
crop. 0,0,0,{h#-1-2}
split. -,{_'\n'}
foreach { replace_str. " ",";" ({t}) rm.. }

safe_0,safe_1=0
foreach {
	({h}) a[-2,-1] y
	num_of_attempts:=da_size(#-1)+1
	store temp

	repeat $num_of_attempts {

		$temp

		if $> eval da_remove(#-1,$>-1) fi

		eval "
			safe=1;
			i[#-1,1]>i[#-1,0]?(
				for(p=1,p<da_size(#-1),++p,
					if(!inrange(i[#-1,p]-i[#-1,p-1],1,3,1,1),safe=0;break(););
				);
			):(
				for(p=1,p<da_size(#-1),++p,
					if(!inrange(i[#-1,p-1]-i[#-1,p],1,3,1,1),safe=0;break(););
				);
			);
			safe;"

		rm

		if $>
			if ${} safe_1+=1 break fi
		else
			if ${} safe_0,safe_1+=1 break fi
		fi

	}

}

echo Day" "2:" "${safe_0}" :: "${safe_1}

I guess I can try this again in G’MIC.

I’m just glad I have other options than just Python. Am not afraid of writing my solutions either. I rarely use Python these day.

I kind of like it. I can understand where it start and end.

This is what I prefer too! I also some times prefer to use bitshift when it comes to division or multiplication of power of 2.

Also, highlighted the way you expect when you click next to braces works too.

I know there’s a lot of downvotes because there are people reading this as hate toward Python. On one hand, one can make the case that it is overused and this doesn’t bold well for those that simply can never like it’s syntax. On the other hand, Python is perfect for small scripts that isn’t tailored for a Domain or just quick codes.

I’m using G’MIC for raster-graphic image-processing, but I can do other things in it too with ease. I feel this post so much.
