That's how I've done it when it did not work. I did, however, go easier, one by one. I first made a simple countdown. Then I made it count down from 10 minutes to 0. Then I created 2 of them. Then I put them side by side. Then I did the logic, one counterstarting each other. Every step of the way, it was filled with loads of errors and loops out of which the ai couldnt get out, to the point where I would need to go there and fix it myself. Errors ranged from logical, to super simple syntax issues, such as missing colons, or brackets.

Hey. That makes more sense. To be honest, I don’t think it should be one of the main things on the front page when creating a new project in that case. However for what it’s worth Ive also asked gemini to translate this simple chess clock app to react because of how buggy the flutter project was and it just got stuck again and again no matter how much I helped it

The ai part of the app is basically useless. After 2 hours of “vibe coding” a chess clock flutter app I got basically nothing in the end.

It broke more and more each message. I tried fixing stuff myself but it would mess it up again. Would not recommend anyone to use it.

Now for the non ai part: super cool. I love the nix environment. Its fascinating how they handle the previews for example. I got geekbench up and running an the cpu is a bit worse than an iphone 15 pro max, but it has 32 gigs of ram!

I dont think thats true. How would you compile a program that has conflicting dependencies with a linux namespace?

To me this post can be framed under dissonance in the dictionary.

Installing a package manager and a package from it apparently is harder than installing an OS and the installing a package from its package manager.

And lets be honest here. It’s not like homebrew is a set in stone necessity.

I use Nix, theres macports, you can build the package from source. All with less complexity than running what is in the end a whole os in a vm

This to me is the clearest example of why there is no actual physical simulation understanding of the world in these models

I agree with you that the tweet is basically useless but what they have done there is not an appeal to authority fallacy. They have only explained why it’s popular. Arguably your response is a genetic fallacy.

Theres 0 chance this response was not written by an LLM. I don’t know what, but it screams genai.

Totally agree with you, but one point against doing what you mentioned is that you want to replicate your prod environment as much as possible in CI, to be able to catch bugs

Could you send me the video if you ever end up making it? I don’t understand how jumping between nearby seeds means anything in the latent space. As far as I know it’s closer to like a hash function where the output is drastically different for small changes in the input.

TVs still are cheaper.

There are differences.

Just to name a few:

Monitors have better colour accuracy, higher refresh rates, have features like Gsync/freesync, way faster response times, more and better ports like displayport 2.1 and usb c, lower input lag.

Can you get one for cheap? Yes Can you get a good one for cheap? No

I do too. But what you describe there is basically a monitor.

How often did you check?

I like the idea but it screams LLM generated content to me.

I totally agree that we should get higher vram sizes on GPUs but they are not the same as DDR5.

The one you listed does around 50Gbps. A really good gpu does almost 450Gbps. Prices as you know also don’t scale linearly. For something twice as good sometimes you pay 4x the price and so on.

I love that channel. If you like that look up MyMateVince too and JoeyDoesTech. Super good.

I have a launch day Series 6 (4 years old) with 78% battery health, that I wear all day everyday, and charge in the evening for 30 or so minutes. So it easily lasts 23.5 hours and by that point its at around 25-30% battery life. I genuinely cant understand where the 18 hours they predict come from!

Yes. I host both on my NixOS desktop that has a 13900KF and an RTX4080 (using nvenc and AV1), as well as from my MacBook Pro M3 Pro.

Without a doubt! I use moonlight for ten+ hours a week. I never use it for gaming and it never failed once.

Very much like lambda calculus

I tried first 5. All work on 15 pro max

Back in January I wrote a blogpost about this exact issue and people treated it as ramblings. I discussed it with over 30 people in the meantime each saying theres no way ghost jobs are a thing, theres no way it’s that bad, or that they have a job so surely this is exaggerated.

It’s not, it really is that bad, and more than a dozen of them since lost their job and messaged me saying that the blogpost is much more real than they could’ve ever imagined.

You seem to not understand what a bubble popping is. Yes we have the internet around, that doesn’t mean the dot com bubble didn’t pop…

Lovely blog! If you would accept one suggestion, it would be to make it mobile friendly!

Funny how those academics and professionals like François Chollet and Yann LeCun are on the skeptic side, and a vast number of vocal proponents are old NFT pushers.

Do you have a source for that?

I also do that, but when I search for emacs for example I get like 2-3 different ones and they are named as the full path in the nix store. That sometimes goes away after some time with indexing, but sometimes it does not. And another annoying issue is that sometimes even when theres only one, its called by the path, and Im not a wizard so I don’t know if that path is the latest, so I am still using outdated software because its not launching the newest version.

Did you have any of these issues?

Cringe

Maybe AI could bring back the pre gen AI tech scene
