I'm not sure I disagree with you really - and I ack that webgpu feels like 2015 tech to someone who knows their stuff. I don't have a take on "l33t gfx coder"; I'm a hobbyist not a professional, and I've enjoye

I hear you but I also don't see a ton of disagreement here either. Like, the fact that D3D12 includes _some_ usability fixes suggests that DevEx really does take a back seat to the primary goal. I'm not arguing that DevEx doesn&#x

What promises were made, by whom? Graphics APIs have never been about ease of use as a first order goal. They've been about getting code and data into GPUs as fast as reasonably possible. DevEx will always play second fiddle to that.

How about only sending submissions to humans if they include a reproducible test case? Actual compilable source code + payload that reproduces an attack. Would this be too easily gamed by security researchers as well?

I’m unclear what it is you’re describing. I’m describing UI affordances.

I want to see the mouse cursor moving and clicking, and keys typed by the AI appearing onscreen in realtime like you see in software product tutorials. The jumpiness of pages switching and things changing when an AI is driving is extremely

I think sociolinguists will have to do better than just chatting with one bot[1] before waxing poetic about the invisible power dynamics that shaped the interaction. This is critical theory: thought-provoking cynical fart-sniffing. Autoethn

This is the answer. Otherwise-comfortable people searching for anything in the “matrix of oppression” to cling to. Because for the past decade and a half that’s been the easiest way to insert yourself into the attention economy.

Nothing I wrote is in counterpoint to this. There’s no carve out. Anyone pushing thoughtless junk in a PR for someone else to review is eschewing responsibility.

I use LLMs to code. I think they’re great tools and learning the new ropes has been fun as hell. Juniors should use them too. But any claim that the LLM is responsible for garbage code being pushed into PRs is misreading the actual state of

The LLM is the coding tool, not the arbiter of outcome. A human’s ability to assess, interrogate, compare, research, and develop intuition are all skills that are entirely independent of the coding tool. Those skills are developed through p

Wow a lot of the stories people are writing here are super depressing. If a junior developer is delivering you a pile of code that doesn’t work, hasn’t been manually tested and verified by them, hasn’t been carefully pared down to its essen

Neat, I plan to check this out. I really want an AI to jam with on a canvas rather than to just have it generate the final results. I have been hoping someone would pick up on the time series forecasting innovations in the LLM space, combin

I understand. When I came to the realization that my own brain was now operating against me I decided to head for the exits. I assumed it was unlikely I’d be able to do the self-work needed while still suffering all the indignities of the e

Indeed. Laid on too thick for my taste. Histrionic given the context.

I did this a month ago and don't regret it one bit. I had a long laundry list of ML "stuff" I wanted to play with or questions to answer. There's no world in which I'm paying by the request, or token, or whatever, f

Close your eyes. Imagine a black tunnel that you are floating through. Every time a thought pops up, paint it black in that tunnel and then float on past it. That includes the thoughts "this tunnel is black" or anything related to

Exactly my sentiment. The web being crummy is not because of AI. The mainstream web - Google search and ad-infested web sites - was already crummy. AI has a higher tolerance for the sea of detritus than I do, so I lean on it to avoid that g

The referenced jQuery statement gives the candidate a chance to speak on: selector complexity (id look ups vs traversing to find descendant elements), first-class functions (passing a function reference to the .on() method), regular express
