Fun fact, one of the XFire cofounders won Carmack's Ferrari at a Quake Tourney: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Fong#/media/File:John_C...

It's a unary operator, kind of like ~ or !, which can apply to parenthesis (), until it meets a type, then the parenthesis are mandatory: int x; sizeof x; // okay sizeof (x); // ok…

Because often times you don't need browser grade systems infrastructure to make something like an impulse tracker

Walter hangs around here almost every day

Wait till he learns about PID controllers

Anyone here ever use labview?

When you write without AI you cultivate your team’s understanding which cultivates communication and teamwork and immediate understanding during downtime and emergencies. Build you…

Turns out you internalize it when you write it and refactor it with iteration

I guess that’s why they call them Transformers

Gave it my own spin once: https://github.com/glouw/ensim4 Makes audio too

“My formative memory of Python was when the Quake Live team used it for the back end work, and we wound up having serious performance problems with a few million users. My bias is …

Sometimes your entire business is just a laptop with a python dictionary and a backup power supply

They aren't because we're not committing prompts. The analogous would be compiling to and then committing unmaintainable assembly when the higher level language, which is a determi…

I mean, iteration and interaction builds your understanding which verifies and validates what you built. Relying on agents without formal validation is like saying a tree fell in t…

Sometimes you just hit impossible life scenarios like a pretax clawback in a hostile workplace which drains your liquid savings and leaves you broke, or breakup with a partner whic…

I guess at least HR doesn’t have to read 1,000 resumes. Heck, to be frank, could they make sense of the first 10 resumes?

Usefulness per gigabyte should be taken into account too. We could do way more with 32MB in the 90s than 4GB today

Yes, that's the point I'm making

Turns out you have to be Terence Tao to know when an LLM is right or wrong

It’s not a lie if everyone collectively believes it

This is what Anthropic did with agents and $20k to write a C compiler that survived gcc’s torture suite. But the LLM knew: 1. What a C compiler was 2. What a C compiler looked like…

Before 2023 I remember everyone here on HN championed that removing lines of code was the strongest senior metric

I’ve always wanted a git with five commands, and maybe with AST based diffing

I can’t remember the last time anyone actually played the game they got for free on epic’s store

This is obviously you on another account. What are you trying to accomplish?
