    IMHO, Brooks's Law applies more today than ever.

    Yeah I mean I also chuckle at good (or cheap) puns sometimes. But wordplay and puns are the current ceiling of LLMs. Good at them because they're purely structural (pattern-match o…

    I'm not sure if this is mythos-specific though. Past models have been great at puns! They do wordplay and puns reasonably well because those are structural. However, the concepts o…

    Nope I guess can't tell between machine written and mediocre jokes. Models are structurally biased toward the expected, which is the opposite of what makes a joke land or a poem tr…

    Yes, at the very least, it's a no-brainer for OS maintainers who are already paying for Max 20x.

    > Everyone says that but I don't see anyone cooking up the next photoshop and selling it at $3/month. Yup, same reason you can't throw manpower at a software project and expect a p…

    Yeah to me, Burst+Jobs and Compute shaders are so easy to work with in Unity, I haven't felt the need to squeeze more perf out of C# in a long time. For modding and OTA stuff I jus…

    Yes and it works well IME. https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/roslyn-... Now I think about it, writing SourceGenerators is actually a great fit for AI agents.

    Wow that's less than a month ago. I wonder if this kind of stuff is picking up steam. > Rivlin told me that the bogus customer service number and the impostor representative were b…

    Ask HN: Is Google AI Overview giving you scam phone numbers?

    Today my wife was trying to cancel a GEICO policy. She searched for "geico home insurance phone number". On top of the results page in the AI Overview section, it gave out a phone …

    Yes what the hell is wrong with this title. Where on the pricing page does it say the Industry plan require a runtime fee?

    Yup, I agree with the author 100%. By far the worst part of AI code generation is the inability to discern old and deprecated APIs/syntax/workflows of tech stacks that are constant…

    This was many years ago, after Unity released mathematics and burst. I was porting (part of) my CPU toy pathtracer to a compute shader. At one point, I literally just copy-pasted c…

    yup, "em dashes" was just easier for me to type to give an example/heuristic. Everything else would require a tad more effort to explain. I was scratching my head pretty much the w…

    Well, you may need to worry about them now. It's a well-known issue with the mainstream LLMs. Every few days, you see a new post on reddit from people asking how to get rid of em d…
