Whats the discussion around architecting a codebase where you don't need to understand the whole thing to operate inside of it?
Which large/massive codebases are considered the best to work in and if we examine their architecture what provides for that?
Now just make the cable a few miles long and call it Nvidia GeForce NOW?
Generally probably shouldn’t try to innovate in too many places at once
Shouldn’t the next model focus not be on code but system design?
Seems like the work from a good system design to code is practically solved.
Now it’s a matter of the design of the system. Or is that represented in these evals?
I appreciate what you're saying but is the problem with fast food that people have always been hungry?
Smart phones are what made social media toxic.
The last sacred mile of our social lives has been invaded and corrupted no?
No one enjoys a concert or sunset without feeling the need to capture and share it.
Who is to blame for that?
Steve Jobs
What would a mobile OS look like if the browser became the operating system and apps were sandboxed WASM instead of native APKs?
Did smart phones ruin society?
Yea from my discussion/research with ChatGPT it seems compilation times would suffer.
Curious to see if Epic Games ever refactors their reflection in Unreal Engine to use C++ 26 reflections or not.
I watched the movie '21' (2008) for free on YouTube yesterday.
The opening of the movie features the MIT campus full of students navigating its grounds and all the promise and status that higher education brings. [0]
Gave me the same sense of sadness realizing how much will fall to AI.
Why is it one or the other and not one THEN the other?
Same, when I got into UO emulation I used Sphere for a month then this new C# emulator called RunUO was announced haha and I moved over (~ Aug 2001). There's still a forum post from 26 years ago of me remarking about all the brackets { } involved in writing C# code ha. But I remember that spark when I made a change in a sword file and saw it reflected in game. Been chasing and riding that high ever since. Led to a career in software development but more importantly unlocked some of the greatest joy in life I'm sure everyone here can attest to.
Did you ever get into Ultima Online?
UO was the only Ultima game I played. I got into programming doing Sphere and RunUO emulation as a kid without ever knowing about the long history of Ultima games. Assuming that all of the brilliance of UO was architected in a few year span of development. Now looking back at the series seeing all the foundations is incredible. Overnight success 20 years in the making.
AGI or bust
Amazing
So many fond memories of that time.
I remember getting VB3 in 300 emails from an AOL chat room.
Fate X 3.0
ha I had this thought a few months ago made me wonder how a model trained on just John Carmack's code would fair.
Me neither makes me question now if all of these comments are botted
Id say ask AI to ‘describe the problem and solution from a high level. avoid code excerpts if possible.’ Submit as a bug report and mention you have an AI solution for reference if desired.
Yea I feel like if even one kid was introduced to the world of computing through a Franklin it justifies their existence.
And since Cortana isn’t a widely used name like Alexa, it spares a whole generation of people named Alexa from that inconvenience.
The music for that episode still takes me galaxies/dimensions away
I think Discord performs great
As an Unreal game dev what I’ve wanted to remake in QT is the Epic Games Launcher.
I think Epic may be underway on this now but if you did a good enough job I feel like there may still be a window to pitch them on acquiring your work.
I assume it’s not possible to get the same results by fine tuning a model with the documents instead?
Caffeine -> Suppresses appetite -> Lowers Caloric Intake -> Reduces Cell Turnover -> Prevents Dementia ?
Absolutely not sounds like a be careful what you wish for Black Mirror episode where you wake up trapped in some simulation you can’t break free from but it’s ok because you signed on the dotted line to donate your mind and body to science.
What are we going to do about software for critical infrastructure in the coming decade?
Feels inevitable that code for aviation will slowly rot from the same forces at play but with lethal results.
What if global warming is beneficial to keep the next ice age at bay?
