It's a different prompt. It says his prompt was "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle" but one I saw earlier this week specifically talked about the blue helmet and fish in a basket.
It looks like I misinterpreted the bottom of this page[0] where it says:
> A seaside scene: a white pelican in a blue helmet pedals a red bicycle along the beach, one wing gripping the handlebar, its big orange beak and pouch out front, webbed feet on the pedals, and a fish tucked in the front basket for later.
I thought that was the prompt from how it was worded. I guess it's part of the response.
It's kind of funny, but AI can also use an oscilloscope. My friend vibe coded a software synth on a Raspberry Pi Pico. When he realized his oscilloscope had a network interface, he had Claude figure out how to connect to it over the network and analyze the actual audio output.
Oh yeah, this is right up my alley. I've been thinking about making a Forth on bare metal for a while (made a Forth interpreter in C last summer, and a tiny amount of testing stack manipulation in hand-assembled machine language on a C64U), and the thought I (coincidentally) had moments before seeing this link was about making a boot sector on some floppies I just got for my 8088 IBM PC. I know that will only work for the Real Mode part but it might be fun to start there anyway. Edit: I knew about CollapseOS but didn’t realize this had been around too.
> Not eventually. Quickly. The relationship between books and shelf space is not linear; it is exponential,
Are pretty AI in style: Over use. Of. Short. Sentences. - The it's not this; it's that - in a way that doesn't make sense - I mean books/meter is linear.
etc.
Not sure about the morals of using AI. I assume there really is a Bruno van Branden with 28k books?
What kind of book cataloguing software (excluding something like an order system for a printer of present day books) demands an ISBN? The article smells due to its complete omission of any verifiable software or marketplace that does this.
