You asked why the size of the code matters, I gave you the answer. If you want to ramble about the non technical aspects of software development talk to someone else, I'm not interested.

More code means more entropy, more room for bugs, harder to find issues, more time to fix, more attack surface, more memory used, more duplication, more inconsistencies... I bet you at some point we'll get someone reporting how AI perf

Nobody wrote that article, why should anybody read it?

It's either a bot, or someone who writes exactly like a bot. I don't care which it is, both go to the discard pile.

It's also trivial to have multiple remotes, I do in most of my repos. When one has issues I just push to the other instead of both.

Are you from the future? Because on the current timeline it's much too early to tell if it's overstated or understated.

Worth repeating as well: Never tie your work stuff to Apple.

If anyone has a better theory I'd love to hear it, but going by Occam's Razor that's the most likely explanation that I would pick.

At some point we need to start wondering if it's not just naivete but intellectual dishonesty. The same American corporations that claim to be imposing draconian control measures to "protect the vulnerable" are, at the same t

I really don't like how it changes the face of the girl and looks like someone different or like they had a bad plastic surgery. The other characters also slip into uncanny territory.

About a quarter in I figured out, if there was a point to the article he should have gotten to it already, if it's taking this long maybe he just wants to write about watches. So I skimmed and I was mostly right, the way it's pres

I know someone who started making a game by building his own engine. 5 years later he had made half an engine and zero games made on it. Most of the people I know that are into herding AI spend most of their time doing that, but I can'

The next thing after agent swarms will be swarm colonies and people will go "it's been a month since agentic swarm colonies, give it a month or two". People have been moving the goal posts like that for a couple years now, it

I might grab something like sweatpants from kids section, but for normal clothes I generally prefer a bit more quality. I work remotely so a good pair of pants can last me more than half a decade, so I don't mind buying quality and hav

The burden of proof lies on the side making claims about what AI will do, not the ones denying it.

Are you one of those developers that hates debuggers and stack traces, and would rather spend three hours looking at the output or adding prints for something that would take 5 minutes to any sane developer?
81.
by dandellion 8mo ago
Self-driving looks like a much easier problem, it has gotten a massive amount of investment in the last decade, and it's not fully solved yet. Compared to that your 20 years estimate sounds way too optimistic.

Not just roads! I made a small train game for a game jam, and I used splines for the tracks to get them done quickly. It did the job, but they looked wrong to me. So I revisited it a few weeks later and looked into arcs and clothoids as wel

No, it's exactly how the words you typed, the order that you put them in and where you placed the commas reads like. I'm not even a native speaker and I still noticed.

If you see it form the point of view of a Linux user it's more fragmentation, but if you look at it from the point of view of a gamer it's less fragmentation. Guess who their target audience is?

Except all of that will be for naught because the US is making the fatal mistake of doubling down on oil and coal. It's pointless to play 50 years ahead if you won't make it even the next 20.

I've seen "handwritten" fonts in the past that used ligatures to have three or four variations of each letter, which makes it a lot less obvious.

Where in Europe is that? Because in southern Europe pickups are very rare, but maybe they're more common in the north.
