Ah so the company that produced the most cutting edge technology needs to hire more people to stay ahead.. and that's proof LLMs aren't making most of the programmers in the trenches more productive. Let's see if an LLM can r

The problem is he wasn't comfortable with my solution even though it was clearly faster and it could be tested instantly. It's a mental block for him and a lot of people in this industry. I don't advocate blindly trusting LLM

Let me give you an example from yesterday. I was learning tailwind and had a really long class attribute on a div which I didn't like. I wanted to split it and found a way to do it using my JavaScript framework (the new way to do it wa

Making your comms friendlier or whatever is one of the myriad ways to use LLMs. Maybe you personally have "LLMs shoved down your throat" by your corporate overlords. No one in their right mind can say that LLMs were created for su

It is way faster, especially when you're learning a new framework and don't know all the patterns by heart even if you have a good idea how they work. If you have 2000+ hours using a specific framework then it's probably not

Depends what problem you're trying to solve. Have we built something that can replace us completely in terms of reasoning? Not yet. We have built something that can multiply a single persons productivity and in some constrained scenari

I'd write a script that crawls all these AI topics and use an LLM to count how many times this conversation has been had but I'm too tired to do so lol. Just don't feed the troll / dumb person. If they're too stupid

It's hard to keep that mindset after a while. People get tired of the same old pattern that's just ever so slightly different than last time. When something becomes repetitive you get bored of it. Or if the complexity of the solut

Yeah sure the facebook frontend has a lot of issues and is frustrating at times but I'm not sure the random slow updates or even failures to load the page / partial info is React's fault

Can you provide more details about the project you are talking about? I somehow doubt that a website like facebook would be easier to write and manage in a minimalist framework. I'm not sure the only project I have written React for wo

I'm not naive enough to believe we live in a true democracy. IMO this cancelling was good for 2 reasons : first I believe Georgescu is a nutjob, second.. if there was any doubt that we don't live in a true democracy now it's

by jack_pp 2y ago
I'm no lawyer and can't be arsed to do the proper research but for Georgescu to be able to declare he had 0 campaign spending while everyone knows that the tiktok campaign cost 20-50 million euros is insane to me. If they aren&#x2

Check out the scandal in Romania, some guy that had less than 5% in polls got 30% because of tiktok. Other candidates had tiktok campaigns too but probably didn't use bots. Social media is a legitimate threat to any countries democracy

Well it wouldn't be hard at all to make a POC for yourself. You could make an open source project to automate it all. I suggest using hetzner (cloud) because of the price. You just need to use the hetzner API's to put all your vid

Gstreamer can give you more control and has friendlier API's if you're gonna make a pipeline programatically but for one off stuff ffmpeg seems much friendlier to me. For example it has sane x264 defaults while with gst-launch you

> Probably the one time I actually earned my salary at work was when we were about to pay out the nose for more cloud servers with GPU to process video when I noticed the version of ffmpeg that came installed on the machines was compiled

by jack_pp 2y ago
libx264 is the best encoder for h264 ffmpeg has to offer so it's pretty important you bundle it in your ffmpeg install. Those commands are perfectly standard, I've been using something like that for 10+ years

Why are tech people obsessed with the most cutting edge tech we have.. yeah I wonder why. If you would've asked experts 6 months before chatgpt when we'd have the current capabilities they would've said we're at least 10

AGI for me is something I can give a new project to and be able to use it better than me. And not because it has a huge context window, because it will update its weights after consuming that project. Until we have that I don't believe
