Very similar taste in games, and I had heard of it but wrote it off as a simple puzzle game, kind of in the mobile-game-esque throwaway genre. I must have been mistaken.

There is a limit to how far one needs to abstract personally. I don't layer my utensils for example, because a spoon is fit for purpose and reliable. But if I needed to eat multiple different bowls at once maybe I would need to. For my

Can you fly with stuff like this? I only wonder because of the battery setup. Very cool, I would personally use a regular track pad over the ball as I prefer as little mouse interaction as possible and it would stay out of the way better.

You are right I think, a lot of clients need a design as a practicality rather than a differentiating factor, they will be more than happy with a generic design output for next to nothing. Many companies are not really based around their we

It's just surprising, since it's objectively better to own the platform, and the company has a mind boggling amount of money, and allegedly coding agents capable of 10xing developer output. Why would they not be able to do it in h

I definitely find your last point is true for me. The more work I am doing with AI the more I am expecting it to do, similar to how you can expect more over time from a junior you are delegating to and training. However the model isn't

I am not convinced that more context will be useful, practical use of current models at 1mil context window shows they get less effective as the window grows. Given model progress is slowing as well, perhaps we end up reaching a balance of

The lack of sprawl is also a consequence of how mountainous the country is. While not as bad as a lot of western sprawl, the areas of Japan that are a bit wider and less populated do have an element of car dependent sprawl to them. Then of

I am a big infrastructure nerd but I believe they are right, it does change the way idyllic landscapes and towns can look. But I'm not sure it's a valid reason to block such practical projects. It's the same for cities with b

I think the long term idea is that AI becomes continuous in the sense that it behaves like a regular employee, not something you have to prompt. So at a mid sized company say 100 "entities", the CEO has directors still, they have

Why would it reduce ten fold? I think performance of the chips gets a little better but not that much better. The cost of the infra is probably going to go up if energy costs keep going up and presuming the US can keep getting cheap chips.

I finished my immobiliser for old cars from the last thread. It fills a niche in the market for a no-wireless, no fob solution that will work on older vehicles without much CAN bus integration. I have been brushing up some drawing skills fo

I agree. I think the rapid learning generalist has a real advantage right now, but that kind of advantage cannot be leveraged by big companies structured to utilise specialists. I think that's why individual contributors in big teams a

I didn't experience that but the commercial stuff I worked on was in a heavy industry on J1939, and our bus was isolated from the vehicle to some regard. Then the stuff I mess with at home is 90s era CAN and it's basically all dia

That's true, I read Neuromancer pretty late, already well primed on the terms of art which smoothed that over a bit. But a lot was left to the imagination.

It still lives on as a bit of a hard skill in automotive/robotics. As someone who crosses the divide between enterprise web software, and hacking about with embedded automotive bits, I don't really lament that we're not using

Echoing other thoughts here but also, it's like getting your first 10,000+ lines of output code for 0 token cost, and no prompting effort, no back and forth or testing etc. Just jump straight to business logic, scaffolding is done for

Totally agree, these kinds of problems are really common in smaller models, and you build an intuition for when they're likely to happen. The same issues are still happening in frontier models. Especially in long contexts or in the edg

I see us collectively forgetting the training process as time goes on, and I think that explains why people get so surprised by some pretty obvious outcomes of said training. Perhaps also why people keep anthropomorphising these outcomes.

It is a pretty core part of Cyberpunk the "franchise" though, both tabletop and more recent video game. I think as well if you look closer, many cyberpunk worlds imply AI through robots, computers with personality etc.

I think their headsets were genuinely game changers in cost/value. It was so much easier to use than many previous headsets that cost way more. It felt like it had the makings of a watershed moment, but I think we can all see where the
