And the agent beta is looking pretty good, so far, too.

Agreed. My laptop has never used swap until I started using cursor… it’s a resource hog, I dislike using it, but it’s still the best AI coding aid and for the work I’m doing right now, the speed boost is more valuable than hand crafted code

I’ve been programming for 25 years and this looks fine to me. Perhaps it is you who is the problem here and not the code?

What’s wrong with it taking a billion of our years to tick? Just because we, smaller than microscopic beings compared to the size of the larger structures we observe, find it to be a vastly long time, doesn’t mean that it’s a long time for

Naughty Dog’s late PS3 era code was very similar to modern task/job based parallel code. That really was the start of the modern era of multitasking. Compared to today, the Cell really isn’t so complex — we have just as many or more co

Some intel processors have P/E core splits. So do some apple processors and mobile processors. Our normal desktop processors have double the cells cores. Workstation and servers have 64 or more cores. Many core is alive and well.

Oh yeah, I loved tasting that too! They really had to pull some tricks to make everything work so well, but damn did they pull it off!

I’m not even sure that’s entirely true either though. By the end of the PS3 generation, people had gotten to grips with it and were pushing it far further than first assumed possible. If you watch the GDC talks, it seemed to me that peopl

You’re absolutely right. But my point still stands, too, which is that despite being irreversibly dependent on supply chains, doesn’t mean we are redundant. We still need people at all levels of the supply chain. Maybe it’s fewer people, ye

”I don't know how to grow crops, build a house, tend livestock, make clothes, weld metal, build a car, build a toaster, design a transistor, make an ASIC, or write an OS. I do know how to write a web site.” Sure. But somebody has t

How can you build something in Jai before you have access to Jai? I heard he only gives access to people who more out less guarantee they will use it relatively heavily, but how can I know of I will before I can scarily try it? Basically I

I honestly can’t notice any difference in outdoor quality between GPT 4o and GPT 4.5. I also can’t notice any difference in programming quality in cursor when using Claude 3.7 vs 3.5. I’m told there is a clear difference, but I don’t notice

What’s worse, I get a lot of comments left saying what the AI did, not what the code does or why. Eg “moved this from file xy”, “code deleted because we have abc”, etc. Completely useless stuff that should be communicated in the chat window

Ah, I looked at the examples but I guess I missed this. Thanks! So it basically works outside of react land — you can animate your component but it’s applied after react renders it. It’s nice to see an example and that it works, but I suppo

I feel like its missing a point for "In C3 but not in Jai": you can actually download and use C3...

Oh. This actually looks like something I could see myself using, maybe. I thought I'd hate it, but after checking out the examples, this is pretty nice. There are some syntax choices that aren't ones I'd have made (eg I prefe

That's what I came here to ask too. This looks wonderful, but I'm already using Motion quite a bit. I'm also using React and am unsure how well Anime.js pairs with that while Motion has a first party react library. In any cas

This looks interesting and I’ll probably give it a try. I’ve been using Sway for the last five years and i3 for a few years previously. They work fairly well for me, I certainly didn’t have any of the problems the OP mentioned. My all time

By trying things and seeing what it’s good and bad at. For example, I no longer let it make data modelling decisions (both for client local data and database schemas), because it had a habit of coding itself into holes it had trouble gettin

It depends on what you need the code for. If it’s something mission critical, then using AI is likely going to take more time than it saves, but for a MVP or something where quality is less important than time to market, it’s a great time s

Just wait, soon there will be a JavaScript framework: by AI, for AI.

I just tried it with 4o and it disagrees with me giving reasons, and even elaborates when I pushed back. It basically said cats are transactional to an extent, in terms of basic needs, but that beyond that, they aren’t. And for dogs, flat o

Maybe I’m misunderstanding why branching is slow on a GPU. My understanding was that it’s because both sides of the branch are always executed, just one is masked out (I know the exact mechanics of this have changed), so that the different

This is great! Surprisingly easy to follow along and understand!

This seems more an issue with not understanding structuralClone, than one of understanding globals or lack thereof. There’s nothing wrong with the example, it does exactly what the code says it should — if you want counter to be “global” th

HM is type inference for static typing, though, so wouldn’t have runtime overhead?

I personally quite like templates and constexpr. I don’t do anything too crazy with them, but I like being able to write code that will compile down to efficient code without runtime checks. I tried to write equally generic code in typescri
