I read it but I didn't really get why its so hyped/mindblowing It may just be a Seinfeld Effect for me though I get that in the context of literature its quite a unique story/take …

I randomly read an old book by John von Neumann I found in a thrift shop called “The Computer and The Brain” It’s only like 70 pages and it’s basically just him comparing how compu…

The thing is it doesn’t even matter if you are wrong because everyone is doing the same thing No one will blame you for going all in on AI

If you think about it why is language/image even separate from video? Isn’t video + audio all you need?

Yeah I don’t understand highlighting/marking up books Who actually has time to go back and look at that? It’s like taking photos of fireworks

The problem is you immediately assume studies haven’t thought of that Do you know that is how simplistic these studies actually are?

This gives companies a physical thing to buy to demonstrate they are fully AI-enabled

As AI assisted coding can be pretty divisive some SEs don't use any of the tools and some use them heavily. I'm curious to hear do you notice a difference in performance of team me…

Personally I regretted grinding so much for high grades Once you're in the industry no one cares about that and I found in practice people with lower grades than me still ended up …

Yeah but you take it for granted because you've been in the industry so long Obviously its not that exciting to an 18 year veteran

Definitely take the job, amazon is not an endgame place to work but its a really good stepping stone You learn a ton of stuff there as a new grad CS masters degrees are not really …

It’s an age old control systems problem: open loop vs closed loop

Yeah I have no idea what they are talking about I have a 150 4-stroke that is fuel injected and it’s way quieter than any motorcycle and has very little exhaust smell

Agreed, it’s not really the same as being a gameplay programmer which is what most people think of as “gamedev” It can pay quite well at large studios or tech companies if you work…

This sucks but I guess PC has been like this for a long time and no one seems to care/talk about it

I'm curious prior to this has there been any research/attempts at chemical methods to strengthen the structure and allow it to be unrolled?

It’s like how google translate replaced the low end but we still have human translators for high end stuff

It’s still lower level than a business analysis though so it’s not the same

Performance of the game is much more important than download time Its really common to sacrifice disk space for runtime perf For gamers 100GB is not a big deal, CoD is like 200GB a…

Tech people underestimate how much gamers care about performance You see that a lot with all the game streaming platforms like Stadia There's a whole mainstream culture of custom b…

Sometimes I catch myself doing this and it feels pretty silly in retrospect Or sometimes they fix a bug and I instinctively go back to tell them the fix worked even though I could …

Knowing how governments do this stuff its going to be something lazy/easy to bypass like a list of stl files/hashes that are banned

Also don't they require real metal parts anyway?
