There is a finite capacity/time for a human mind to do difficult shit, if it can be slop forked in a microsecond before you even get to flesh it out there is no point

Doing something difficult was a signal that you: a- understood it and all the background information it requires b- internalized techniques and methods that are helpful in problem solving in general Now it just means nothing

An AI smart enough should act like a senior engineer gathering requirements, it should start with assumptions and poke at different areas with questions until it has a complete idea, when I talk with a client I dont expect him/her to r

You are joking right ? renderer, audio, math, physics, animation, AI, asset streaming,.... in addition to the gameplay itself, and you compare it to a medium-sized mobile app ???

>My app has 200k LOC + 100k in tests, and there is no sign of the AI slowing down or being unable to maintain it. May I ask what does this app do ? 200k is like GTA vice city level, is like sqlite level, If its a financial tracker or a t

In 10 years from now we will have another AI winter until a new thing arrives that pushes further.

I thought text search was always the first thing you try, then fuzzy search, then you go for RAG

No! the key part is "they dont't care why should I" ?

Yeah I cant imagine my job without it anymore, in my hobby projects I dont really use it because its more about learning new stuff but for work I dont really care

> a careful simulation game Totally agree, unfortunately careful simulation games are very rare

Its fun but is it really effective ? I mean I checked the LLM one and I came out more confused about a topic I already know about, I find the best way to to learn using LLMs is to just generate an example try to somewhat get a mental model

Linux was not for a long time on the same level of windows though

>Makes perfect sense to anyone good at using these models. It doesn't really, because whenever I ask them what did they actually create, its always a shitty dashboard or a finance tracker or something derivative and worse than what

This doesn't make sense, I enjoy making bread at home but it costs 10x and tastes like dog shit I dont want to spend my time perfecting the craft of making bread for my daily needs (maybe once in a while its a soothing activity), I wan

How exactly do you envision this ? you will ask the ai to make youtube but better, people seperate the "what" from the "how" but they have a very complex relationship

by lacedeconstruct 3mo ago
I feel like the actual core mechanic at improving is the actual act of "recall", it doesnt matter what you do if its a form of recall it is effective and very awkward in practice because you just sit there waiting for your brain t

The difference between 20 cycles and 1 clock cycle in a hot loop is very noticeable

> Also, you should use SIMD. ironically no clang is better at auto vectorizing

by lacedeconstruct 4mo ago
What are you talking about in a hot loop in my software renderer this is like 10x faster // color4_t result = { // .r = (src.r * src.a + dst.r * inv_alpha) * INV_255, // .g = (src.g * src.

yes but >> 8 is so much faster

It doesnt have to able to generate original things, its enough to be able to detect what makes it original and replicate the original thing with enough variations in different contexts to be able to be destructive and render the true origin
25.
by lacedeconstruct 4mo ago
Depends on how good the slop fork machine is, the act of true original creation is a messy and long process if it can be replicated to death immediately basically for free its not viable anymore

by lacedeconstruct 4mo ago
A slop fork machine is way different though, I dont know why authors never thought about this but imagine a machine that can detect the features and replicate whatever it sees, show it how to make bread once and it can do it infinitely, ma

I bet you will learn alot doing that though

It was a never a velocity problem though, rapid progress comes mainly from designing better systems and building tight abstractions not by writing using the same primitives faster
