As someone who’s written a lot of Clojure and have been using it on and off since 2009, this looks like decent quality code to me. I think it’s just a familiarity thing. Clojure is different from most languages in that it’s a lisp and it’s

When asked to prove it, it spelled out the letters one by one, and still failed (ChatGPT asserted the answer is still 2, Claude “corrected” itself to 1). Only when forcing it to place a count beside each letter did it get it correct. It’s n

This is basically the same conclusion I’ve come to, after 18ish months of almost daily use.

I asked both ChatGPT 4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet how many letters there are in the word strawberry and both answered “There are two r’s in the word strawberry”. When I asked “are you sure?” ChatGPT listed the letters one by one and then said y

Thanks for the perspective! Do you think this helps or hinders your ability to internalise the information (ie so that you don’t need to look it up, in the browser or from the LSP)? For me, I feel that documentation is a starting point, but

Are you sure about multithreading? Emscripten supports posix threads out of the box: https://emscripten.org/docs/porting/pthreads.html Or do you mean threads that aren’t built on top of webworkers? I don’t think t

GPU passthrough should work for a lot of cases. The games that are most likely to have problems are the ones with draconian drm or anti cheat. I avoid those, so protón tends to work for me anyway, so I don’t bother with windows.

I'm just as baffled by the people who use stackoverflow daily. Its increasingly rare that I use it these days, to the point where I deleted my account a few years back and haven't missed it. Don't people read docs anymore? In

I think we should imitate biology for the sake of imitating biology, though. Alongside other approaches. Right now, we know that biology works, because of animal and human intelligence. We don’t yet know if our other approaches have the a

How do we know that current artificial neural networks aren’t the local maximum of modelling, and there isn’t a better model (biologically inspired or otherwise) that we haven’t explored yet? We need both to work on improving what we have t

I agree with sibling commenter. If I need determinism, I choose the deterministic container. If I don’t know whether I need determinism or not, I don’t understand the problem well enough yet. Regarding wanting your code to produce the same

Dear ImGui is nice but beyond basic styling, it’s not exactly quick and easy to style. It also lacks any kind of accessibility features, which is fine when you’re making tools for games or similar (ie highly visual tools), but if you’re mak

It requires both a decent (doesn’t have to be amazing, but has to have some hook or draw or something interesting to keep people’s attention) game, and marketing (people who don’t know about your game can’t buy it).

The male voice they used didn’t have these qualities… I personally hated the female voice, it wasn’t pleasant to listen to. I found it quite grating, making the demo hard to watch.
