I'm not sure I follow. C++ just added a SIMD library for this exact problem. And even then, SIMD-intrinsic-free C++ with the right data structures and some basic hardware understanding gets you mostly there in a hardware agnostic porta

Right, but that is self contained domain. Hook it up to anything and an impedance mismatch will offset the intent of your poles. Failure modes, cross domains, integration, loads, design intersections; AI can build components, but its the s

What about a referral program + 5-10 interviews with no intent to hire?

Guys, remember when language features allowed re-usability?

Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's quicksort

I’m not sure I follow their point. By going with structs of arrays you’re already getting your max SIMD bandwidth 80% there even with the most naive implementations. Learning which math operations are hardware SIMDable gets you another 10%.

Getting closer to the hardware exponentially magnifies failure modes that LLMs cannot reason about. Being closer to the hardware also moves you to build and compiler machinery that LLMs lack in their training set. Being closer to the hardwa

Generative AI reverts to the mean: Prose will be over explanatory and miss subtly that human expression normally hits. Same for software: LLMs have a natural tendency to modularize and sprout. You'll find yourself knee deep in enterpri

Try triangulating with multiple LLMs to synthesize information. The build by hand. The final composition will master understanding

A good measure is communication. If there's a common understanding, then the origin doesn't necessarily matter.

Then put your money where the mouth is and start committing prompts and having your LLM “compile” them with each production release.

by glouwbug 15d ago
It’s alright, by doing it you understand it. We need people like you still, to improve their understanding, so that they can verify LLM output, or enjoy the craft

WoW released a steady stream of expansions from 2004 to present day. At some point players wanted the old game, so Blizzard released WoW 2004, known as classic, in 2018, and reran the stream of expansions, stopping before any mass enshittif

Not having to write #define len(x) sizeof(x) / sizeof(*x) Is arguably the feature I've waited for for 20 years

Seems like its in C29, but who knows. I've waited since 2009 for just about anything

Maybe not then, but we basically have our own poor man's template system now: #define array(T, N) struct array##T##N { T value[N]; } void copy(array(int, 32)* x, array(int, 32)* y) { *x = *y; } int main() {

Age has nothing to do with it. Those were your life style choices and they now impact you for the rest of your life. You could well have done the opposite and thrown all your earnings into the SP500, rented for cheap near your parents, trav

You can decide not to do any of these things. In fact, not wanting _anything_ is 100% within your control. It's literally what the stoics built the entirety of their philosophy on: aversion to pain and pleasure and redirection to moral

Major critical software has always needed thousands of engineers to maintain million line codebases. LLMs can't reason across edge case failure modes, and better yet, LLMs generate compartmentalized modules which exponentially explodes

The field is already exploding in SLOC. If LLMs can generate 10x but only produce a 2x productivity boost in reasoning or understanding - each year -then neither humans or AI will be able to keep up with the mountains of slop that power eve
