Software engineer here, using LLM for coding is shifting the job from mono tasking to multi tasking. I have several agents runing in parallel, they require inputs every 1 to 5 minutes. Im switching context all the time, and I must hold a la

I'm really wondering what happened. They had a decade of hype and cash, leading into oblivion. On the meantime, small teams like Vi tage Story or even SOLO like Lay Of The Land deliver. It's not like the team behind Hytale is low

Agreed. Auto-complete on steroid isn't what I call using LLM for coding. It's just a convenience. What I do is to write pure functions with LLM. Once I designed the software and I have the API, I can tell the model to write a fun

While you give your process feedback, here is my emotions related one. When I dev with LLM, I don't face my own limits in term of reasoning and architecturing, but I face the limit of the model to interpret prompts. Instead of tryi

Sounds motivating to both have better margins while serving customers. It's the kind of tasks without downside: satiasfying.

First, I use Cambridge definition, which makes the usage of monetization correct. "to make money from something" Second, not all IAP are abusive, I didn't said nor meant that. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/

As a gamedev who absolutely need to monetize its game, I think it's a great move from steam. In-game ads are a cancer, breaking the immersion and the game flow. That's part of why I don't wanna work on mobile gaming anymore,

Negative persistent digestive state could be related to the new digestive context you created after a 2 week fast, which is a huge event in a life. How much, how often, what and when you eat should be adapted, following your feedback rather

I wonder if people who are questioning if fasting 2 weeks is the main cause of interrupting your depression did ever fasted a week. Would you consider that you "cured" the depression?

Is it really more complicated to make a video game that a kernel? I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to make a full kernel by myself but I did manage to make a full 3d video game by myself. Also I'm not speaking about ma

"Designing an OS is like creating your own world" Making video game is also like creating your own world! And it's order of magnitude less hard than making an OS... Bonus point, you have a chance to make a living from it!

I prompt a lot everyday for various reasons, including, but not exclusively coding. Because jsx/tw is indeed very verbose, it requires a lot of accuracy because there is sooo many places you have to be just perfect, this is something

I can totally understand it! I would loved to have access to a LLM back in time. Especially since I started to learn just after the <table> era but we didn't have "flex" yet. It was true garbage... Now I mostly JSX &#x2

I don't get why this question is relevant to evaluate the reasoning capacity. Gpt4o (no reasoning in an anthropomorphic sense) answers correctly --- The reasoning lies in the concept of mass and weight. The weight of an object is deter

Am I wrong to think that "reasoning model" is a misleading marketing term? Isn't it a LLM with an algo wrapper?
