I agree regarding metaphors, I myself aggressively utilise analogies with both myself and others, as a "digestive", but I feel like with LLMs we're treading on thin ice as it's not…

There's been research done (I know, big words -- don't have any links readily available), where it was pointing to the fact that what goes easily in (into the brain) also goes easi…

For my part, the make-or-break part of these kind of visualisations -- assisting home renovation, and interior and exterior design and architecture in general -- has been lighting …

This is the MVP comment. When you have a carpenter visiting you don't announce they can go into your kids' rooms (for reasons unrelated to the job is) and what not -- the [default]…

I don't know, I was very happy when I discovered what Radiance can do with what you give it. I hear people get very good looking rendering with Blender, but my brain doesn't work l…

Thanks, I did some learning and it fell more into place.

Is transcription a form of _inference_ though? I mean I see the word being thrown around and I understand what it means (or at least I think I do) in context of LLMs doing the thin…

Ok, I admit arguing about Git's merits, best practices, workflows and so on, can be hard online like this, not the least because I have limited amount of time I can invest in this …

No, boss -- you suck. See what I did there?

I think you missed the main point of my argument -- you, the game developer, aren't programming the hardware directly or through the kernel -- you are using a common abstraction in…

If you want that, mandate developers use prefixes like `!fixup` and do `git rebase` _on your end_ -- why force upon everyone your ideas especially if it also squashes all developme…

A linear graph doesn't do any developer in the team except Github (which isn't a developer in this context) any good because they have to pull down the graph at some point and when…

My observation has been that those who have never learned Git properly -- disregarding for a moment the issue with what "properly" means here -- just don't think they need to, stic…

I last wrote 3-D rendering code using hardware in 2005 or so. It was DirectX 11 or 12, I don't recall. I thought it was quite a mountain to climb. For my part, I grew up _implement…

I seem to remember to have watched a recent comparison on YT between Second Reality using SB vs GUS, and I did appreciate an audible improvement with the latter, but it may have be…

Yeah, it infused my software engineering career and interest in optimisation and 3-D rendering. P.S. When we invent the time machine, we should go back to load up on actual GUS _an…

I think a fundamental and flawed assumption in your general line of argument boils down to that line: > Social people will be fine Thing is, "social" is not only a scale, it's not …

During my teenage years in what is today a post-Soviet country -- to put it in apt context -- I was briefly an absolutely ecstatic owner of a Gravis Ultrasound (Classic, I believe)…

Fewer people aren't staring into their phones or talking to them -- makes your social antennas pick up automatically on not wanting to disturb them (lest you draw their ire for not…

Right, if what you mean is making the `=""` optional, then it seems even more attractive than types, I admit. You'd have to amend the XML grammar to see if making the `=""` optiona…

Can you think of a minor syntax error example that you believe should be corrected by the browser, and better than the author would (had the Web browser notified them early -- by a…

I think this is _the_ most popular criticism of HTML 5 vs. XML, that I have seen mentioned. Which is telling, quite frankly. It makes me think that the powers that be that pushed H…

I looked at CSTML, and frankly, it looks like any other improvement that upon first glance may seem like definite improvement, but the trouble with these dialects or ideas is that …

I agree we shouldn't have thrown the baby out with the bathwater -- and it's not like _strictness_ was not in XML's spirit, so your usual suspects for primitive types -- numbers an…

Every time XML comes up, I feel obligated to share my opinion (I too wrote XML a the turn of the millennium and have seen it become and still witness on occasion it being excommuni…
