Fully agreed. The modules are an afterthought, and inevitably lead to a mess where we have both modules and includes all over the place.

You Have to Feel It 11 months ago

You have to feel it.

The corporate machine does not feel it.

It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead.

No, they do not need one. The article paints VM as a very broad definition, mostly revolving around permissions for accessing things or executing actions.

We are still figuring out how to use LLMs, and it will be some time before we have a decent idea of how to use them well

As per typical, Martin is so late to the party that he projects his own lack of understanding of the subject to be the general state of matters.

People are, and have been for a while, using LLMs as very effective accelerators or augmentations of themselves.

Claude Code, is a great example of something that can easily one-shot most trivial-to-average programming tasks.

While some wait for the "bubble to burst", a lot of people are gaining significant benefits from using LLMs to boost their speed in software development.

It's not a good idea to muddy the expectations for AI by mixing AGI and LLMs into the same bucket. LLMs are already useful for many purposes, even if they didn't lead to AGI, whatever the definition is.

The solution relies on ffmpeg to do the heavy lifting and is roughly 300 lines of code

Checked the source and it seems to make a lot of assumptions on the output format, codec and quality.

Ok, so the author thought it's a great idea to embed a little mini-game onto the page - in case two squares shot by the things in each bottom corner ever collide, your mouse cursor vanishes. Brilliant - tab closed.

PS. fix the origin of the projectile shooters - right now they are shooting from the "side" and it looks sloppy.
