Here's a deep dive into the coding of a moderately useful cpu p-state control script. https//github.com/mystica555/cccpu Is the communist theme a bit too much? would you suggest something else? I'm open to suggestions, and have a lot (a _LOT_) of images that came out of 2.5 pro chat mode. So much I had to slow down and can't use 2.5 pro again until tomorrow. I could link a gallery, if anyone is interested. I think i figured out a decent way of importing the files into git the first time as well, only about 4 iterations w/gemini on a quick script for that and then fixing it to copy ccccp.x.y.sh to ccccp.sh so the version reflects the same file.. before this it naively imported the files with the versions still as part of their filenames. For now, I figure if I can be a design director and critiquer, fixing randomness that pops up but mostly just kindly asking tasks of it, gemini does a good job. Trying to find the right balance between prompt length and desired outcome has been an interesting learning curve, that I still think I am gong up.
