OxygenBasic Examples / Re: Has parseutil.inc changed?
Last post by Charles Pegge - Today at 02:03:55 PMI have found that placing uses console after uses parseutil causes problems in 64bit.

OxygenBasic Examples / Re: Has parseutil.inc changed?
Last post by Charles Pegge - Yesterday at 10:50:22 PMThat seems tobe a different problem. Oxide normally saves the source code before compile/execute [F5]. If there is no file name, it automatically saves to a temporary file "_", so it can compile/execute it.

Last post by Nicola - Yesterday at 09:28:56 PMExcellent Charles,
it is certainly very comfortable and fast. And the fact that this also allows it to be used on smartphones makes it intriguing.

OxygenBasic Examples / Re: Has parseutil.inc changed?
Last post by Nicola - Yesterday at 09:15:27 PMSo, I did various tests with very strange results. Then I copied your little program into another oxide window and strangely it gave me anomalous results. I saved this second file with a different name, tried it and it was fine. So I tried to do the same thing with my little program: this time it worked well. I did other similar tests... in the end I realized that making some changes and starting with F5 didn't give the desired results. So, I saved the file with SAVE (ctrl-s), and started with F5 and the results were correct... I did other tests and every time I didn't save first with ctrl-s the results were not the ones I wanted...
An oxide problem or do I need to save before starting the program every time?

I think I've fixed the problem. Could you try this attached version of inc/stringutil.inc
updated later

I can't understand why this happens.
Cheers

AI / ChatGPT / Claude AI / LM Studio / AGI / 🚀 **BREAKING: AI Just Built a ...
Last post by Theo Gottwald - Yesterday at 08:35:18 AM🚀 **BREAKING: AI Just Built a C Compiler From Scratch in 2 Weeks** 🚀
🧠 **16 AI Agents + 1 Researcher = 100K Lines of Code**
⚙️ Compiles the Linux Kernel
💰 $20k Development Cost
⏱️ 2 Weeks Timeline
🔥 **To Put This in Perspective:**
GCC took thousands of engineers over 37 years to build (1987-2024)
👨�💻 That's like building a car with a single person and their team...
🎯 **The Results Are Mind-Bending:**
✅ Passes 99% of GCC's own torture test suite
✅ Compiles FFmpeg, Redis, PostgreSQL, QEMU
🎮 Runs Doom (yes, really!)
🔧 **But Here's the Real Story:**
They "mostly walked away" 🤷�♂️
But that "mostly" was actually doing ALL the heavy lifting 💪
👨�💻 No human wrote any code directly
🔄 But the researcher constantly:
- Redesigned tests
- Built CI pipelines
- Created workarounds when agents got stuck
🎯 **The Human Role Shifted Completely:**
From writing code → Engineering the environment for AI to write code 🧠
🤯 **This isn't just impressive tech. This is a fundamental shift in how we build software.**
What does this mean for the future of AI development? 🤔
**Text (deutsch):**
Der Mensch ist nach wie vor notwendig 🧠
AI könnte das nicht alleine geschafft haben – auch nicht mit 16 Agenten 🤖
Ich möchte gar nicht wissen, wie viel Geld das an AP-Kosten produziert hätte,
wenn jetzt irgendjemand das gemacht hätte 💸
Also ich sage mal: **600 Dollar im Monat** 📉
Der Mensch wird nach wie vor benötigt, um da einzugreifen,
wo die KI das große Bild verliert 🎯
Und das ist immer noch der Fall ✅
Die Rolle des Menschen verlagert sich 💡
Von Kleinigkeiten kodieren...
Und sind wir mal ehrlich: beim Kodieren ist es doch so,
wie oft kodieren wir im Prinzip die gleichen Sachen immer wieder? 🔄
Und das macht jetzt die KI. Automatisiert, schnell und effizient 🚀
Aber wo der Mensch nach wie noch gebraucht wird –
das ist das **große Bild** 🖼�
Wie alles am Ende zusammenpasst
Wie man am besten bestimmte Fehler aus dem Weg räumt
Wo die Prioritäten liegen müssen 🔍
Hier muss der Mensch immer noch eingreifen,
sonst kommt nur Mist raus 💩

**English Translation:**
The human is still necessary 🧠
AI couldn't have done this alone – not even with 16 agents 🤖
I don't even want to think about how much money this would've cost in AP fees,
if someone had actually done it instead 💸
So I'm saying: **$600 per month** 📉
The human is still needed to step in where AI loses sight of the big picture 🎯
And that's still the case ✅
The role of the human is evolving 💡
From small tasks and coding...
And let's be honest: when we code, how often are we really just repeating the same things over and over? 🔄
That's now handled by AI – automated, fast, and efficient 🚀
But where humans are still essential –
that's the **big picture** 🖼�
How everything ends up fitting together
How to best clear certain errors out of the way
Where priorities need to be set 🔍
Here, the human must still intervene,
or else it just turns into nonsense 💩

I tried my sample and yours... yours (photo 1) is fine, mine isn't (photo 2).
I can't figure out why.
The number of lines doesn't seem real to me either
