I like it more than alcohol, but as a teenager it was definitely just to be cool.

You must’ve just skimmed the conversation. My point is that an objective observer looking at the world would absolutely recognize that humanity is an exceptional species (not necessarily in a good or bad way) among all that exist on earth i

Vapes are edge and easy enough to get. Weed is popular among millennials, which are now the “cringe” generation so there’s that as well. Weed just isn’t as cool as it was before.

One of the big draws of go is ease of deployment. A single self contained binary is easy to package and ship, especially with containers. I don’t think Java has any edge when it comes to deployment.

Federated means that individuals can host instances and have those instances communicate with other independent instances. So yes it is more federated than Wikipedia

Is it actually more complex? I find it more understandable, it’s just that DEs need to write their own compositors.

I thought we’ve seen diminishing returns on benchmarks with the last wave of foundation models. I doubt we’ll see a linear improvement curve with regards to parameter scaling.

by dartos 2y ago
There’s absolutely room for improvement. I think models themselves are plateauing, but out interfaces to them are not. Chat is probably not the best way to use LLMs. v0.dev has some really innovative ideas. That’s where there’s innovation t

Idk if I’d call it a killer app. The podcasts are grating to listen to and usually only contain very surface information I could gain from a paper’s abstract. It’s a wildly impressive technical achievement though.

TIS-100 was more of a puzzle game than a sandbox factory building game like factorio. TIS has a much tighter game loop with hard success metrics for each challenge. I wouldn’t really compare the two.

> The UI is the challenging bit, and that's because Linus just slapped something on to demonstrate it Which makes it weird and bizarre. Especially in the context of this whole discussion. Not really sure what you’re trying to say.

Just kind of sounds like recreational programming isn’t your thing. That’s okay too :)

That seems to be more a guide on how to sell socialism rather than providing another economic axis. Did I miss something?

If you can’t describe your bug in a test, then you probably can’t describe it sufficiently in English either. Seems to make sense

Idk if capitalism is solely to blame. Is not like we’ve seen less corruption on the other end of the spectrum. Many European countries are also capitalist, but don’t seem (at least from the outside) to have the same rampant corporate influe

The point is that any human did that at all, whereas no other species has.

Try graphics programming. Endless fun to be had trying to recreate shaders and having cool ideas for different vfx.
