I'm just saying the tech is already here. The core engine can do it. Before you go on and write such a system it's better to test if the LLM can do debugging to an efficacy level that we require. I don't think anyone has trie

I don't think you get it. The game has already changed. And nobody trained the AI to write unit tests or refactor code. It could do it as emergent behavior. It happened so fast that so many people are in denial and many people aren

Learned something new. I feel though it's better if most programmers didn't know about this. It looks like cursed knowledge.

I'm aware of this. We can run down a cheetah or bunny. But we can't actually run down a horse. Only top ultra marathoners can do that. But walking down a horse? Really?

I've heard of the fact we have more endurance then the horse but walk one to death? Source? Or deeper explanation?

Yeah but this was definitely achieve well before 200 years. Armies existed since the dawn of civilization. We are talking B.C. dates.

Not really. Aiming and shooting is far more precise in red dead. Combat controls are instantaneous. You fire your gun, the bullet comes out and goes in a straight line towards an enemy on every click. You can headshot an entire gang of peo

It makes sense for disk persistence to be io but redis is primarily in memory. So I don't think async applies to that aspect of it. In theory that makes it so all operations on the database from the user perspective are serial. Not sur

This is mainly because it's single threaded and operates on in memory state. Async io doesn't apply to in memory so all operations have to be serial, is this characterization correct? Thanks.

No this isn't the problem. There is huge demand for skilled teachers as in teachers that are extremely good at their job. Huge demand. There's also too little supply. It Could be a lucrative career if the system were setup better.

Side question about redis: Does redis do async operations? I'm not sure how that would work because it's known to be in memory. But I do know it persists to disk. So basically my question is: Does almost absolutely every operation

I bet you didn't like elden ring or any of the dark souls games either. In general the clunky controls are a style of game and promotes a certain type of game play. It turns off people who want instantaneous responsiveness, but there&#

Yeah probably not. If you prefer really snappy controls and fluidity then games like RDR2 or elden ring or souls like games are not for you. That being said, in general, these games are not games that are generally considered to have bad co

We hit a clock limit ages ago and switched to parallelism. I still remember the days there things were in mhz and we were going 90, 100, 200, 300, 500, 1ghz, 2, 3 ... and we'd be at hundreds of ghzs if we didn't hit a limit. Now w
