Usefull Open Source software, vibe coded in Rust

   I had seen the videos of that Tesla car on Youtube this past weekend. It's an interesting piece of window dressing 
to be sure, however the physics involved would say that other then showing off for investors it holds no practical use
nor do I really think you will ever see that on the road. That car can't hold batteries and enough fuel/Gas for propulsion
to be allowed by various departments of transportation. Purpose built aircraft still can fail and crash, you can imagine 
some idiot trying one of those stunts in traffic, a thruster fail, and crashing onto someone’s car killing them. That doesn't
include the fact that as soon as that car is airborne Aviation authorities will enforce there rules on it as well. You know
how much they complain about little johnny flying his little drone at a soccer field. How much more so with this.
will they sell a car that looks like the one they showcased? Probably. Will it do what was shown? Not Likely.
There's a big difference between a controlled environment and the open road.

In reality this is just more "Bread and Circus".

 
 

Muzzer how problematic has it been to vibe code programs. I am thinking of trying it on a few ideas
I have floating around in my head. I have been learning Python coding but it has been a frustrating 
journey to say the least. I'm also using Raspberry pi zero 2w so that may have something to do with it
And as luck would have it I am thinking of using Claude Code.

Python is included in all major Linux distros, just open a terminal and type "python3 --version", so no need for RPI, especially not the zero as it is way to slow.
For non essential stuff, vibe coding is fine and will save a lot of time, but being able to actually audit the code is a very nice bonus.
Claude has become pretty damn good at it, and so are some smaller models you can run locally on your PC, and Gemini is also very good at Python, it is free, so give it a try.
Despite what the internet would have you believe, you can run local models even on some low spec PC's and laptops, quite comfortably, and having a GPU with 8GB or more makes it way faster than you can read (that is my personal benchmark), and AMD APU's (GPU+CPU) are very good st it, i have Ryzen 7 laptops (3 of them) and they can run 4B parameter models exceptionally good, 7B and 8B with a bit of tweaking, all on 16GB of total memory.
Download LM Studio, download some 3-6GB models, play with them, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for the info tommylight. The use of the raspberry pi zero 2W wasn't my first choice, it became a requirement 
for a work related project I am working on (physical size constraints). As far as me using AI lets just say I have been
very reluctant to use it partially because of the incessant push to install data centers everywhere the tech bros can
put one (consequences be damned), the price of parts (that's a big one), and me not knowing how to efficiently use it. LOL.
  I will give your recommendations a try.
