I originally put quotes around "know" and somehow lost it in an edit. I'm precisely trying to criticize the claims of AGI and intelligence. English is not my native language, so nuances might be wrong. I used the word "m

I don't mean it in a philosophical sense, more in a rigorous scientific one. Yes, we do have reliable datasets as in your example, but those are for specific topics and are not based on natural language. What I would call "classic

Hallucinations are not a bug or an exception, but a feature. Everything outputted by LLMs is 100% made-up, with a heavy bias towards what has been fed to it at first (human written content). The fundamental reason why it cannot be fixed is

Don't bundle your JS then, problem solved. Vanilla JS and CSS written 20 years ago still works except maybe for a couple of obscure deprecated things. Rot is directly proportional to the amount of dependencies. Software made responsibl

Saying that a natural language based interface will replace dedicated graphical UIs makes no sense to me. It will never be as intuitive or efficient, not even mentioning the reliability. A picture is worth a thousand words, and no LLM is go

I don't think that anyone is dismissing machine learning itself. This bubble is more about generative AI, and especially language models. Machine learning has been there for quite a while and is a useful tool. But it's only a tool

I'm not using any kind of AI. I considered leveraging LLMs to help write some parts the scenario, but in the end I prefer doing it myself. When I said "enemy's AI", I didn't mean machine learning, just how it behave

Still working on my game, Astral Divide. I finished writing most of the story and am now working on implementing the main enemy's AI. I'm having quite some fun with studying and making a schooling algorithm that fits my needs. ht

After winning the first cold war with a notable race to the moon, it feels now that the USA is doing everything to lose the second one with a race to the bottom. As a non American, I just hope they don't take too long to reach it. Whil

I purchased a book the other day, and when I turn the pages, it automatically shows me the text that I want to read. It must be powered by AI.

The bare minimal would be to implement the Accept-Languages http header correctly, not just a randomly picked subset in it. They cannot seem to even bother to do that.

I would actually expect AR displays to be naturally transparent. I'm not a specialist at all, but achieving a transparent screen with perfectly opaque rendered areas sounds quite unrealistic. If the display is naturally transparent, I

I have similar feelings every time I look at a Windows 95 screenshot: everything is easy to grasp and feels natural. I know immediately what is interactive or not and what is the hierarchy between the different parts of the UI. Sure, it&#x2

Hopefully the market forces will tell us that sooner or later. It might just take a while until the goldrush of VC money stops and the reality kicks back-in.

I'm also in this camp, and that's why it does not work for me. Natural language is just a terrible interface and fundamentally not an appropriate one to communicate with a computer. I wonder if I'm in the minority here becaus

Thanks, will do! I hope I can also provide different templates and some default art in the future, but I'm not entirely sure about what yet. (nice website BTW ;) )

Thanks! I'm waiting until it's a bit more mature before sharing it there.

100% this, that is the easiest and less error prone way to do it. Even if the author still insisted on using a single interface, he could also do what he wants by relying on bytes.Buffer rather than bytes.Reader.

by Seb-C 1y ago
Getting an io.Reader over a byte slice is a useful tool, but the primary use case for io.Reader is streaming stuff from the network or file system. In this context, you can either have the io.Reader do a copy without allocating anything (ta

I disagree. I write complex code, and it is essentially bug-free. And no, I'm not Jesus, I just care a lot about quality and have spent the last 20 years finding ways and strategies to improve it. Reducing the number of bugs does not m

IMO, this AI crap is just the next step of the "let's block criminal behavior with engineering" path we followed for decades. That might very well be the last straw, as it is very unlikely we can block this one efficiently an

If you ask any high-functioning or late-diagnosed autistic person who knows about the topic, you can bet that he will tell you his family (parents and grand-parents included) shows the same signs of autism, but that they do not wish to akno
