I will thank God every day I don’t work with you or for you. How toxic.

My only nit to pick with this article is their definition of PvE. They said it stands for “player vs enemy” where I’ve always heard it defined as “player vs environment” where environment explicitly means not-other-players.

I read this sentiment a lot, and it is true for me too as a completely average software engineer.

Makes it seem like the actual problem to be solved is reducing the amount of boilerplate code that needs to be written, not using an LLM to do it.

I'm not smart enough to write a language or modify one, so this opinion is strongly spoken, weakly held.

Either you can see the tire is low visually, or when you hear a thump-thump-thump you know you blew a tire.

I do not agree with your point. I do understand it, don't agree.

I do a lot of work on my own vehicles. I think a lot of the responses are from people who do not.

Paying for vehicle repair labor is basically a tax. They're making it harder and harder to fix your own car. I spent the afternoon yesterday trying to find headlight assemblies that didn't need to be coded to work correctly. Headlights.

All the outrage about right-to-repair around here, and nobody realizes the frog is almost boiled around repairing cars.

You can't replace a tire sensor without getting it coded. Complete bullshit.

Looks really neat. Took me a few minutes to figure out what it was. A description above the fold (or here!) would be great.

I’ll google it in a moment, but skimming those notes, I have no idea what Kea is.

A compiler is written by very smart humans to a spec written by humans, also probably smart but I don’t know enough to claim that bit.

An LLM is just displaying the next statistical token.

Completely different.

Don't know if this is true, but I read this a few years ago, top answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/se51wb/e...

Gambling increased because many states recently legalized it. Any other correlation is puff science.

I know more than a few degenerate gamblers. My one buddy bets ~250k/yr, the rest are about ~100k. I'm like 10k (and through luck or skill I end every year up between 2-10k).

I'm the only gamer of this group of 10 people, even as kids.

> 1) We can’t really work on non-trivial fixes for our cars because they are too complex

Learning how to fix my own cars is something I’ll always be grateful for. They’re not that complex. Most of it is just bolts and a diagram reference.

Sure, if you crack a piston cylinder you just need a new engine, that isn’t really fixable.

Brakes/rotors/calipers, it is almost criminal what you pay a shop for in lieu of doing it yourself. Spark plugs are super easy. Even things like taking the intake manifold off a direct-inject car to replace the fuel injectors isn’t terribly hard.

What has made cars complex is all the electronics that tie into it. The mechanics of an ICE car are mostly about the same.

What a time to be alive.

I wonder if they treat each letter as a Unicode code point, and each of those is a token? I could see the same being true of other languages.

curl | bash is absolutely on my very short list of “things I’ll never do” and I wince when I see it. rm -rf starting from / is another. I watched someone type in (as root) “rm -rf / home/user/folder” once. By the time I realized what had happened it was too late.

I feel the need to defend myself: I also beat Elden Ring and the expansion boss. Lvl 155 for the main game and scadu 18 for the xpack boss, no summons!

I just like a variety of games I guess. Playing the Indiana jones one now. The FPV is a touch obnoxious but I’m working past it.

I looked it up, and most of the sources seem sketchy (quora, lendingtree), but they agree with your number.

I think the kicker is, the ~50% of people who don't pay them off in full every month can have a massive amount of CC debt and struggle to even make a dent in it.

To me, the difference is: the way to __make__ music was invented, it was already there to be discovered.

Didn't mean to rub you the wrong way.

I’ve always considered math is something that is discovered, neither chaotic or orderly, it just… is. Really brilliant people make new discoveries, but they were there the whole time waiting to be found.

This article seems to kind of dance around yet agree with the discovery thing, but in an indirect way.

Math is just math. Music is just music. Even seemingly-random musical notes played in a “song” has a rational explanation relative to the instrument. It isn’t the fault of music that a song might sound chaotic, it’s just music. Bad music maybe. This analogy can break down quickly, but in my head it makes sense.

> Fun games but nothing to them beyond superficial pleasure.

I think that describes over 95% of video games!

If you’re playing a game looking for super deep meaning, you won’t find many.

I also disagree with your point, uncharted 4 had a whole storyline about two orphans helping each other survive, it’s actually a beautiful story. There’s messed up parents, betrayal, spousal drama, and an entire storyline dedicated to pirates… being pirates.

If anything it’s one of the games that disagrees with your point entirely!

My biggest beef with it by far was the lack of additional storytelling of the infection.

Gameplay was fun, graphics on PS5 were excellent. The infection is a character all by itself and it was basically completely neglected. This bothered me because it was such a central part of the first game.

Another game that actually did this well, Days Gone, will sadly never get a sequel.

So do we ignore the Github CEO or all the other ones?

Rubber duck. I’ve kept one on my desk for over a decade. It was also like a dollar, which is more than I’ve spent on LLMs. :)

I don’t think they’re contagious. When everybody is bored and tired in the same room, they yawn.

Occam’s razor.

Sorry, you’re right. My mom died yesterday, I’m not handling it particularly well.

Europe has been basically begging the US to abandon them for the past few months. Why wouldn’t the US oblige?

I wish this forum had a !remindme, it will not work. Everyone knows it will not work. It really is a fun idea and I wish it would work. It will not work.

You're also not listening. It won't work. There is no reality where it works. We all know this and pretend otherwise.

Everyone on this forum with hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in the bank will just stop working. Who pays for the UBI?

It just will not work, there is no path forward where it can.
