Full disclaimer: Claude Code was used heavily, but I experimented with fun stuff in addition to the cpu emulation, like a fully procedural asset production with aesthetic checker script.

Being into computers is now such a stereotypical way to be nerd, I would be way more interested to talk to a plumbing nerd right now.
Looks like he succesfully pivoted: https://waves.black/ and he is building an OTA update framework apparently now : https://www.nanoforgeflow.com/
The guy is scrappy.
The massive data gathering part should only be part of the learning phase of the system imo, once it get a good model of reality it should infer useful knowledge information from few data, like an expert.
I guess the point of view is that if a department is well running, it means it is overressourced. So you reduce the ressources until it's breaking point, just enough for it to not fail. A jaded service manager told me it was part of its official training: if the clients was too satisfied that meant that human ressources were wasted on them, so he had to spin plates between clients. I guess it was economically optimal.
I come from a developping country, and this whole schtick about "being concerned by tech addiction is a western luxury" is tiring.
I think that engineering progress made while building those machines are maybe more relevant for practical technical development than the discovery they make.
Moreover, till to this day at an advanced level knowing how to drop at the assembly level or knowing computer architecture is a valuable skill
It's always cited as an example, and it's highly impressive yes, but it's also highly focused, with a very partial feature set, I'm not sure that type of coding is applicable to mass scale software.
I have not tried it yet, but seems nice : https://leetgpu.com/
Isn't the role of a concept artist mainly to do worldbuilding and drawing second? AI does not seem to have a good world model, they make pretty pictures but they lack thought behind them.
I don't think the fact that remote work is not possible for other professionals is relevant. If it is about fairness, you could say it is even an advantage for other workers since it means less traffic congestion, better access to restaurant and less land use.
That's the issue with a lot of educational ressource, they don't tell about the problems that are to be solved. For OOP for example, I would an iteratively built ressource that present a problem then a first solution, and the new problems that it introduces, and so on.
Damn, I tried really hard to be good at computers and only achieved mediocrity. It was lonely, made me miss lots of other stuff in life and now I can only try to just be barely competent. I am really happy for you, but it just reminded that I have almost surely missed my shot at life and at getting those kind of memories. Hey at least I get to live in interesting times.
It just lack the GPT powered "prompt engineer".
In my experience, the more someone has deep understanding in tech, the more they are critical of it. Especially true in my field of infosec.
Following John carmack on twitter? ;)
In the introduction "In this post we'll take a look at that sandbox escape. It's notable for using only logic bugs". My understanding was that Rust only cover memory corruption type of bug.
Long term energy independence from russia is good, but what about the timescale? I'm no oil/gas engineer but it all seems big industrial investment, but people are talking about cold cutting russia (is it feasible technically?), since it seems to be the road that will be taken, let's hope that europe will wither the shock.
Algeria cannot readily provides ressources https://www.spglobal.com/commodity-insights/en/market-insigh... and it seems it will be hit hard as all of north africa by the end of ukraine and russia grain export and drought affecting agriculture.
Norway looks to be a more stable source https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-Beginning-Of-...
But there was another source that I can't seem to find anymore that indicates that norway gas reserves are not that great.
edit: https://www.reuters.com/article/france-fertilizers-yara-intl... Fertilizer production was already hit by big gas prices, I think that cutting of russian gas won't help the situation.
Russia has food and energy, sure QoL will be greatly reduced but it will go through, what will happen in developed country if it can't get gas to produce fertilizer? At least America will get to sell gas and food to europe I guess.
What happens if everyone do that?
