Good luck to you. Having worked in this space for around 10 years I can say it's nearly impossible to arouse anyone's interest since the market is so totally saturated. For a new engine to take on it needs do something else nobody

To me this kind of "no need to change anything" implies stability but there's a younger cohort of developers who are used to everything changing every week and who think that something that is older than week is "unmaint

Seems to me that really the simplest solution to authors problem is to write C++ safely. I mean...this is a trivial utility app. If you can't get that right in modern C++ you should probably just not even pretend to be a C++ programmer

Is this a serious question? Well OF COURSE you just prompt Claude... /s No seriously why would you need a graphics engine for procedurally generating content? In this particular case for example his "content" is the world map

Now that everyones running faster than ever and trying to outrun the competition by slapping more code on than they do you can only brace for the results. I expect these tools will quickly let people to ramp up several orders of magnitude o

Until at some point in a language like python all the things that allowed you write software faster start to slow you down like the lack of static typing and typing errors and spending time figuring out whether foo method works with ducks o

Oh I cannot agree with this at all. If you think any programming task at hand one must have at least some reasonable grasp of formalism, boolean logic, predicate logic, then understanding the software developing concepts, your APIs framewo

Good luck to you and your welding business. Personally I'm getting to a point where I'm just "too old" (and grumpy) to start over, so I guess for me it's going to be a retirement to some LOCO that I can afford.

yep you're absolutely right. the value in journalism and journalistic output was based on the scarcity, i.e. the cost of publishing reduced the amount of available content. With web the costs were obliterated so the content exploded an

Many things only have value because of scarcity. Digital products such as "photoshop" have had value because people need a tool like that and there's only a limited number of competition, i.e. scarcity. The scarcity exists be

Whether you like it or not but the society is built on certain social constructs and agreements. Do you think it's fair that when the society moves underneath, the capitalistic system moves its tectonic plates it's the individual

The problem is that we don't live in a society where the benefits of new technology benefit all. We're about to pull the rug underneath all knowledge workers. This will disrupt wage earners lives. This will disrupt the economy. Yo

I cannot but agree. It's a massive skill leveling where software development is transforming from high skilled coding to low skilled prompting. For an old dog like myself it feels an unjust rug pull.

These are the people who argue that soymilk and seed oils are healthy. Even if they're processed with using solvents such as hexane and stuff it's just processing, right? Your also "processing" when you peal your potatoe

"In many ways the quality of care in the US is far better than what folks get elsewhere" This comment has very strong survival ship bias though because you're only looking and ranking the treatments that did happen. How about

A minute of silence to mourn the lost art of making games with passion. Let there be games! And games there shall be, millions of generated games. Can I go back to the 80's please?

The capitalists and industrialists have waited for centuries to get rid of paid labor. Imagine the profits once the cost of human work gets out of the loop! Of course the question that is left unanswered is how the economy will work there&#

Yet these were the "essential workers" during the pandemic. Not the VCs, not the hedge fund managers, not the industrialists or bankers or rich housewives. And all they got for their efforts were applauds. Reality is that without

You're so right. You can already see how the same thing has played out with computer games. With the modern engines such as Unity almost anyone can make a game. And almost everyone suffers. And as a result there's now a million ga

With respect I say that the one can only feel gobsmacked about how much complexity has grown. In the 60s inventing one single algorithm with 10 lines of code was a thing. If you did that today nobody would bat an eye. Today people write gam

What you bring to the table night be fine, but how long do you think you'll find emoloyers willing to still pay for this? One thing is for sure LLMs will bring down down the cost of software per some unit and increase the volume. But..

This is just completely inaccurate. There's the same amout of information available as before. It's not like LLMs provide you with information that isn't available anywhere else. But I agree that it can serve as a tool for a

AI will naturally draw people who are lazy and not interested in learning. It's like flipping through a math book and nodding to yourself when you look at the answers and thinking you're learning. But really you aren't becaus

As a principal engineer I feel completely let down. I've spent decades building up and accumulating expert knowledge and now that has been massively devalued. Any idiot can now prompt their way to the same software. I feel depressed an

Plot twist. The memory bit flip checking code was actually buggy and contained UB. No, seriously did you actually verify the code for correctness before relying on it's results?
