Yeah, that bifurcation makes practical sense. Have you considered WebAssembly for the game script layer?

Yeah. When you build a new city you should really start by laying a high speed train line starting at the city center, going directly to a reserved land plot for a new airport exactly 30 minutes away.

If they actually do build Barcelona-style superblocks full of young families, then tech companies will be chomping at the bit for office space in those same blocks.

I feel like one could implement most Redis commands as functions or PL/SQL using native Postgres hstore and json. Could be an interesting translation layer.

One gig I worked had web component tests where they committed a snapshot of the expected DOM and asserted that the component spat it out... so for every subsequent change the dev would naturally hit the re-generate button and commit it all.

I feel like business logic bugs live on a separate layer, the application layer, and it's not fair to count those against the database itself. I agree that suboptimal query planning would be a database-layer bug, a defect which could e

Wireless streaming VR seems like a non-starter, just an optional bullet point for marketing material. Shorter latency is always better in VR.

If the loss keeps decreasing forever, then that conclusion seems to follow. But it's likely there will be plateaus and ceilings that current neural net architectures cannot surpass. We likely need more breakthroughs to achieve enough g

Perhaps the community at r/localllama could train an LLM that knows about the latest developments and explains jargon and papers, updated weekly. Free idea for karma.

Yes, in normal conversation and written correspondence. Sure, humans have deeper wells of reason, emotion, and recall to draw from, but much of small talk is pure reflex. I'm wary of what happens when AIs can interface directly with th

It tends to boil down to semantics, but as I interpret it, a threshold for AGI has to involve some breakthrough in generalizable, adaptable intelligence. So, yeah, I would invoke the "that's not AGI" move. An AGI should be ab

Debugging rare crashes and heisenbugs is more frustrating, and in non-safe languages, a chronic problem. Whereas after you prove the safety of a design once, it stays with you.

In-game structures can of course be circular, logically speaking, by constructing a chain of entities and components that circularly reference each other by entity ID. But you're saying that Bevy has classic pointer-backed reference cy

I think Rust is a great language to write a concurrent stable ECS in, which doesn’t need circular data structures at all. Like bevy.

Python and JavaScript both had their various fragmented package management systems added well after the language was invented and suffer for it. JavaScript is especially hobbled by the need for an intermediary bundling step. More modern lan

Exactly my concern. If the model isn't sure-footed about the path forward, it seems prudent to take that fact as information and adjust the initial conditions, rather than forcing the model into a potentially hallucinatory idea-space.
