I've never met someone who believed this who was actually able to solve simple math or physics questions given to them. Attitudes like this always feel like cope to me.

Read your original comment and disagreed, but you have changed my mind. Trump is tackling climate change response more than any other president, he's just doing it in the most psychotic way possible. Threatening sovereign nations, anta

Plenty of people use Oxford commas though, can't really use it as a reliable signal, too much noise.

But wouldn't that be a case where regardless of human or machine, the outcome wouldn't change since there was no tracking information?

Right but if someone was given a task, internal monologue or not, there will be some brainwave pattern to map thoughts to typing, right? Otherwise, how is the person typing? For a sufficiently complex task, I don't think you can rely o

Isn't that just for data collection though? I imagine the fully trained model they're expecting to have will be able to map thoughts -> text. The data collection will naturally need to have the 2 sets in order to do self-superv

I really do like Zed, it's snappier than VS code and with pretty good vim emulation. Even through SSH, the native UI allows for no network latency, compared to something like vim+terminal. Like many other posters, I do feel like the co

I just don't see how this is a strawman. It's not a logical fallacy to take an argument that X is good, and say it has Y flaw that wasn't considered. If you want to talk about how steak and eggs are good for building muscle,

An article proving its thesis that clean code can cause bad performance isn't a strawman. He wasn't intentionally using a weaker argument of Bob Martin just to find flaws. He was taking an example from the book to show where it fa

Sure, but I don't see what this has to do with what I said? I was arguing against the parents assertion that the author's example was a strawman. For your point, what part of the design shows claims that shapes are to be added&#x2

He states at the start of the article the tenets of clean code he's arguing against, not just the general OOP of it. Shows how ignoring a certain tenet leads to increase performance, that's the thrust of the article. He routinely

> stupid conversation about performance The article is titled "'Clean' Code, Horrible Performance", that's the argument being made. Why is it a stupid conversation? If you think the trade-offs are necessary, then

by jackling 2mo ago
It's a problem chosen by the author of Clean Code. How is it a strawman? The author of the article is directly refuting the style of the problem/solution that the original author chose, and arguably demonstrated a better approach.

Incredibly dismissive of the parent comment. They made a comment explaining their usecase, and issues with the tool, which you just labeled as whining. Is this not a discussion board to talk about things? Is expressing issues with a use cas

Not really a rebuttal. There's a lot of low hanging fruit in code bases were you can read code and see what's making things slow. Like the parent comment stated, you can visually tell if there's a lot of allocations in a cert

Yea solving hard problems can be quite enjoyable, but can easily become a burden on your mind/body over time. When you're clearly making progress, then everything feels wonderful even if it's challenging. But when you're

Glad to see the release, Box2D has some of the best code I've ever read. It's interesting to see that Box3D was originally a fork of a physics engine made by Dirk. Dirk is one of the best presenters in GDC, and so influential in P

Would be similar to the typical simulations of humanoids. If you need to model the deformations of the human body, or get a proper model of tendons that make up humans, it'll be more difficult, but possible. Proper simulators for those

It's incredibly hard to do good, novel work in 2 years for engineering. You'll likely not learn much either.

No? This is only true if you assume that Newton’s only notable achievement was the creation of calculus. Newton did far more for physics and classical mechanics than Leibniz. Did Leibniz also discover the universal law of gravitation? Did h
