Sussman exactly said what I said. He quit because engineering changed, the course was no longer relevant. Perhaps the words are too harsh. But is there any other way to build something more complex then you can understand? Using pre-existin

In danger? We already hit the limit, and we're waay past it. Tons of software we produce is so complex it already has no hope of being fully understood by one man. Look at the operating system you're using to read this! It's

What do you mean expand? All brains have a upper limit in memory and capacity to understand things. If you exceed this limit, there's nothing that can be done short of science fiction cybernetic brain augmentation.

>Treating everything as "magic" black boxes as you want is tantamount to sweeping dirt under a rug. No it's not. Why do game developers often not write an entire game engine from scratch? Instead they use out of the box so

You think elegance in design can negate complexity? Complexity has no ceiling. Good design can only lower complexity. Complexity itself cannot be negated. I can point to a million more examples, here's one: Red Dead Redemption 2 the vi

It is the only way. Imagine if you were designing an operating system: GNU Linux. There is no one person in the entire world who understands All of GNU Linux as a whole. Most people understand what they need and everything else is an abstra

It goes both ways but people usually take one extreme. You absolutely cannot deny the fact that chatGPT produces a lot of bullshit. But at the same time you absolutely cannot deny the fact that it produces a lot of real answers to very comp

Oh interesting. You think videogames are influencing the rest of the industry? That actually makes a lot of sense. Are there other sources (articles, research, blogposts) that talk about this?

This can happen. But when it happens, AI at that point has already replaced us.

I'm curious about why. It seems like the economics of supply and demand should make it so that C++ roles pay higher. There's less C++ devs, C++ is harder, demand is still high. Why are the salaries low?

The logic is not wrong. First off your statistics showed that it CAN happen. Just with low probability. Second your way of measuring the probability is incorrect. IF we were to randomly pick an image out of ALL possible images of 32x32 1bit

I've been a fan of macross for a long time but the mecha games always suck. The main problem is that the movement isn't as fluid as the anime. I've only seen one good game capture the essence of the animes while being a fair

That just means only for those examples it was fixed. Logically the mathematics behind it says that it can happen. You present evidence which is refutable by new evidence. Logic if correct, cannot be refuted.

Bible does not have authority. It simply has a large following. No one has authority over the content in the bible. For the MCU, yes, by law Disney has authority over the MCU.

That doesn't explain why the bullshit is often completely true and accurate. Sometimes it's wrong, sometimes it's right. But when it's wrong it produces an answer remarkably realistic and close to a right answer. This in
