I use AI mostly to prototype features in my existing projects. If I have an idea, I use the AI to implement it and try out different ways in which it could be implemented. Then I throw away the code and mostly write the code manually, wit

While I agree that shared pointer are problematic (I almost never use them in C++), I don't think they're ever really the reason for performance issues in GUI apps. I've been doing GUI programming for more than a decade now a

I have to give it to Apple though in this case. Waves or warps are ridiculously uninformative, while simdgroups at least convey some useful information.

While the linked study is interesting, using standardised tests is a terrible way to judge if someone is "intelligent". Also imo is very difficult to come up with a universal definition of intelligence. For example, I hold Lionel

> And accountability can still exist? Is the engineer that created or reviewed a Pull Request using Claude Code less accountable then one that used PICO? The point is that in the human scenario, you can hold the human agents accountable.

But how can you be a responsible builder if you don't have trust in the LLMs doing the "right thing"? Suppose you're the head of a software team where you've picked up the best candidates for a given project, in tha

Usually, I tell the agent to try out an idea and if I don't like the implementation or approach I want to undo the code changes. Then I start again, feeding it more information so it can execute a different idea or the same one with a

I hate it too, but to my surprise, all of my colleagues (with an iPhone) said they love because it looks great.

In terms of performance, it's quite far from something like Blend2D or Vello though.

As an aside, anyone here uses drawing tablets for work? I got a cheap Wacom tablets and found it super useful, for sketching ideas or understanding something before starting to implement new code.

This works for Blender because they're a big fish and receive money from big corporations. The vast majority of good open source projects are underfunded or unpaid. Linux distros need a way to streamline payments to open source apps. A

And yet none of those "outsiders" have figured out a way to economically renumerate developers for their work. Flathub had a initiative a few years ago to add payments to help developers fund their projects, but I haven't see

Unfortunately, this metric is only relevant for geopolitics. The people of India still live in a country full of corruption at every political level, with basic hygienic and health needs unmet, an almost toxic air pollution level in big cit
