So far I'm 2/2 for ok batteries, but we'll see in a few years! Weirdly I've had more problems with apple products with bloated batteries, I had to replace two macbook batteries and an ipad. The thing I worry most about w

If you ran the benchmark on battery, I'd definitely run it plugged in. It's not a power drain thing, if it's not plugged in (with the dedicated plug) the GPU can't run full throttle (it can't pull enough current fro

Gaming laptops aren't neccessarily bulky, my Razer Blade 14 is about the same dimensions as my macbook pro 14. They're about the same age and price (2022), the main difference is that the Razer is much faster (plugged in) but the

I don't know, I think the kind of person that comments on hacker news is not the average sort of programmer. I mentioned Clean Code to a more experienced colleague today and he had no idea what I was talking about, and when I mentioned

I really don't understand this fixation on domain modelling. It looks like a lot of UML mixed with a "*DD" (life-pro tip: pretty much any X Driven Development is something experienced programmers rarely care about. You can bo

My problem with UB is that by promoting his brand and his style so much to junior developers (in both subtle and fairly overt ways), he's warped the mind of a lot of people in a way that effects them for a long time and the people aro

If you need the code to understand the comment, the comment is a failure. I guess what I meant is there wasn't any additional meat to the _comment_, you had to read the code to know what the comment even meant

"It's not object oriented programming" is only a good case to make if you think object oriented programming is synonomous with good. I don't think that's true. It's sometimes good, often not good. Why would foc

Bob's comments on... commenting.. are so bizarre that I can't help but think that he just refuses to concede the point rather than admit he might have been wrong about it. Like, the paranoia around incorrect/stale comments is

I haven't seen a lot of evidence that Martin really has the coding chops to speak as authoritatively as he does. I think when you become famous for giving advice or being an "expert", it can be difficult to humble yourself en

Yeah, to me his description of how programmers think didn't really jive with either senior or junior. I think with senior developers when they look at a code review, they're busy, so they're looking for really obvious smells.

by overgard 2y ago
To be fair, most senior developers don't have any incentive to put this amount of analysis into a working codebase. When the system is working, nobody really wants to spend time they could be working on something interesting trying to

I think if LLM's weren't subsidized with investor money and they had to charge what it costs to keep these things trained and running, then the economic "value" of replacing a human in most contexts would slip away. (Esp

He started and then sold a machine learning startup to Uber. He's also written multiple books about the construction of the human mind and he has a PhD from MIT. I would hardly call that creating nothing. He's not clamoring for a

I think the "this is not AI!" people would argue that these things should not be brought in to make important decisions in government, healthcare, etc. We don't need guard rails, we need people to clearly understand how stupi

Agreed, I think the high quality of the output prose makes it easy to believe it understands what it's saying. This kind of conversation is probably easy to role play and generate tokens for because of the existing philosophical and AI

The article definitely has issues, but to me what's relevant is where it's published. The smart money and experts without a vested interest have been well aware LLMs are an expensive dead for over a year and have been saying as mu

I think the error here is assuming mind and body are separate things. In reality our body, even our gut bacteria, has a huge effect on how we think and feel. There's a reason why sensory deprivation or dissociative anesthetics like ket

I generated a Rick and Morty set that was completely hilarious and played against cardboard. It was pretty confusing though because cardboard was white and the R&M set was dark. That isometric view is unplayable though!! It's hard

I don't think it's about BSP's per say, it's about being able to use Brushes. Current Unreal Engine still supports these I think (it's been a minute since I looked). It can be a nice prototype workflow.

I hadn't heard of this feature before, but WTF? Who thought AI parsing everything you do on your system would be a good idea?! I want zero to do with this "feature".

My guess would be that for non-technical people it's much easier to schedule visible work (frontend) vs invisible work (backend). Are the people that are managing you less technical possibly? If you have a good technical lead they shou

I feel like squash-merge accomplishes what I want (easy revertibility and simpler history). I'll admit I need to learn it better, but every time I've tried to use rebase I feel like I'm playing with fire and I end up doing si

Don't you think that's a weird limitation though? Nobody says C++ isn't a language made to make GUI applications. If you're going to replace C++ you should probably be able to do the same things at least as well.

The pool of C++ engineers is much bigger, and like it or not its a very proven solution. Rust still seems to have a lot of areas where its immature (gui toolkits for example)
