Show HN: One-Shot Program Generation Through Direct Memory Diffusion
This is a POC of an idea I've had for a while. Rather than using LLMs to generate code, what if we could just write a software image directly into memory?
At the end of the day, programming languages are an abstraction to make development easier for humans. Using an LLM to write code is like having someone else chew your food and spit it into your mouth--it gets the job done, but it would be faster to just cut out the middleman.
To that end, I'm using a diffusion model to generate images for a Von Neumann VM. The model treats the VM machine state as an image (literally saveable as a .bmp) with pixels representing bits. To reduce nondeterminism and noise, several direct x0 predictions are made and their logits are averaged, with the result thresholded into binary pixels.
Because the diffusion model may still make occasional pixel-level errors, the image stores important logical bits multiple times, and the decoded value is chosen by majority vote.
It's not perfect (and right now it's just capable of basic arithmetic) but the result is an executable image, generated in one-shot, stored in a small 72x72px .bmp.
I'd love to hear some thoughts on this!

Show HN: 0llm is a small app to help you spend time away from AI
I'm a heavy LLM user in both coding and UX design, but I've found that LLMs have an addictive quality because they provide a form of instant gratification. I wanted an app to do a few things:
1) Help me take some explicit time away from an LLM, where I don't use AI for work, life, etc.
2) Encourage me to think in my own words and formulate my own thoughts.
3) Provide a place to go write something when the addictive reflex kicks in to ask the AI to generate something.
The app lets you start a timer and walk away. When you feel the urge to ask the AI to think for you, you go back to the app and it asks you a random question that encourages you to formulate a thought. Essentially "do a mental push up" when you were about to reach for the easy button.
It saves locally what you write if you choose. When you end the session it tells you how long you went. No logins or trackers.
