Jared Jennings<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Pikchr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pikchr</a> (pikchr.org) is a great little piece of software from the SQLite folks. It parses a little language for describing diagrams with boxes and lines and things, and puts out SVG.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OrgMode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OrgMode</a> (orgmode.org) has, among many other things, a way you can make code notebooks, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OrgBabel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OrgBabel</a>. Like <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Jupyter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jupyter</a>, but less webby, and inside <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Emacs</a>, and supporting many languages - even multiple in the same document - thence its name.Thanks to the ob-pikchr package by <a href="https://social.sciences.re/@SReyCoyrehourcq" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@SReyCoyrehourcq</a>, Pikchr is one of the languages you can just write in the middle of your document this way.Pikchr supports <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/darkmode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darkmode</a>, and I've just made a pull request that gets ob-pikchr in on the dark-mode game.<a href="https://github.com/reyman/ob-pikchr/pull/1" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/reyman/ob-pikchr/pull/1</a>Many thanks to Sebastien for the help ob-pikchr has provided in diagramming my thoughts! You go use it too!<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a>

AlexI've just written my first non toy <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/pikchr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pikchr</a> diagram and I can see it potentially replacing <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/ditaa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ditaa</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/artistmode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artistmode</a> for some of my diagram needs. <a href="https://pikchr.org/home/doc/trunk/homepage.md" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://pikchr.org/home/doc/trunk/homepage.md</a>

Michael PiotrowskiInspired by the <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/TikZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TikZ</a> examples in the Microsoft report on GPT-4 <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.12712.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.12712.pdf</a>, I tried to have <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChatGPT</a> draw a stick figure in <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/pikchr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pikchr</a>. It doesn’t really work, except as a motivation to read the manual… But it’s impressive how it takes your corrections into account. <a href="https://mastodon.acm.org/tags/GPT4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GPT4</a> (tried in <a href="https://lex.page" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://lex.page</a>) seems to produce more elaborate code (with comments!), but it mostly doesn’t work either—and without being able to chat with it, it’s not useful for this purpose.
