"Cross platform games don't really run well" Leaves the question who is to blame completely out. And as a consumer I couldn't care less why it doesn't work. I paid for it, it doesn't work: I am not recommending

Can you no longer disable updates on a per game basis? You could do that in the past and I did occasionally for single player games because my internet connection wasn't the best and I did not want to waste the little time I could allo

by OtomotO 1y ago
Ref counting is also no GC by the definition of a GC I was brought up with. But yes, I was also thinking about the borrow checker. Not necessarily in Rust, as other languages start to adopt similar techniques.

by OtomotO 1y ago
There is also non manual, non GCed manual management. I agree that a GC can be a viable implementation of memory management though.

This, so much this... I signed up for Claude over a week ago and I totally regret it! Previously I was using it and some ChatGPT here and there (also had a subscription in the past) and I felt like Claude added some more value. But it'

I mostly see two extreme positions: Either AI is a total fraud, completely useless (at least for programming), or it's deus ex machina. But reality has more than one bit to answer questions like "Is AI a hype?" Despite only r

Something can be useful and still be a bubble at the same time. AI is such a thing.

I find it interesting that there is this sentiment that humans have forgotten to listen to their bodies and at the same time there is this other sentiment that you shouldn't trust your body. What I mean: I have Morbus Meulengracht and

Which totally depends on your domain and subdomain. E.g. Programming in JS or Python: good enough Programming in Rust: I can scrap over 50% of the code because it will a) not compile at all (I see this while the "AI" types) b) not

Okay, so Android is dead to me then.

So they want to kill capitalism and feudalism? Or they want to kill everyone else? Because people won't just lay down and wait for death to embrace them...

All the talk about passkeys boils down to: A passphrase is basically like a password in the sense that I can lose it, but it's not like a password in the sense that I can actually memorise it. (Or rather, all of them) I prefer my passw

I find it super ironic that you talk about "the industry believing its own hype" and then continue with a love letter for AI.

The creator is an incredibly nice and bright person. I love to talk to them at various meetups and one can feel their love for the language and the intricate design of it. It's a bit sad it's such a niche of a niche language.

Are you aware of the irony in your post?

by OtomotO 1y ago
Well, I go by the definition I was brought up with and am not interesting and redefining words all the time. A true AGI is basically Skynet or the Basilisk ;-)

Why do you assume I am not concerned about the other sources of environmental impact? Of course I don't go around posting everything I am concerned about when we are talking about a specific topic. You're aware tho, that because o

No, it's overinvestment. And I don't see how most people are divided in two groups or appear to be. Either it's total shit, or it's the holy cup of truth, here to solve all our problems. It's neither. It's a to

The last tide being the blockchain (hype), which was supposed to solve all and everyone's problems about a decade ago already. How come there even is anything left to solve for LLMs?

by OtomotO 1y ago
You're not alone in this, no. My definition of AGI is the one I was brought up with, not an ever moving goal post (to the "easier" side). And no, I also don't buy that we are just stochastic parrots. But whatever. I&#x27

It's not. It's just doing way more work than many other compilers, due to a sane type system. Personally I don't care anymore, since I do hotpatching: https://lib.rs/crates/subsecond Zig is faster, but t

That's me circa 2010 when 9gag became really popular. I used to watch memes and images for hours upon end. Until at some point I just stopped and never did it again. Over the years people would send some links. I looked at the picture,

I had every single one of all my contracts (as employee and one-nerd-business) adapted in minor or major ways. I am good at what I do, but no unicorn and not FANG "level". But then again, I don't live in the US

These discussions (in the comments) tend to become this "to write everything yourself or not" discussions which are extreme in nature and very binary. While reality is way more nuanced. Why do you add a dependency? Because you nee

But that's only a problem if it's a library and not done on the language level?!

Yes, I am aware. I didn't claim anything else. My clients don't use GitHub. Most of my clients do use Git. (some use other VCS) What made you think I thought differently?
