Right, I forgot the initial context in my replies. My bad!

Right but if someone was given a task, internal monologue or not, there will be some brainwave pattern to map thoughts to typing, right? Otherwise, how is the person typing? For a …

Isn't that just for data collection though? I imagine the fully trained model they're expecting to have will be able to map thoughts -> text. The data collection will naturally nee…

> But non-invasive methods are getting much better. The hardware is improving and getting cheaper, though I apologize for being vague about the particularities of our hardware. The…

I don't understand, what do you mean by this?

I really do like Zed, it's snappier than VS code and with pretty good vim emulation. Even through SSH, the native UI allows for no network latency, compared to something like vim+t…

I just don't see how this is a strawman. It's not a logical fallacy to take an argument that X is good, and say it has Y flaw that wasn't considered. If you want to talk about how …

An article proving its thesis that clean code can cause bad performance isn't a strawman. He wasn't intentionally using a weaker argument of Bob Martin just to find flaws. He was t…

Sure, but I don't see what this has to do with what I said? I was arguing against the parents assertion that the author's example was a strawman. For your point, what part of the d…

He states at the start of the article the tenets of clean code he's arguing against, not just the general OOP of it. Shows how ignoring a certain tenet leads to increase performanc…

> stupid conversation about performance The article is titled "'Clean' Code, Horrible Performance", that's the argument being made. Why is it a stupid conversation? If you think th…

It's a problem chosen by the author of Clean Code. How is it a strawman? The author of the article is directly refuting the style of the problem/solution that the original author c…

Incredibly dismissive of the parent comment. They made a comment explaining their usecase, and issues with the tool, which you just labeled as whining. Is this not a discussion boa…

Not really a rebuttal. There's a lot of low hanging fruit in code bases were you can read code and see what's making things slow. Like the parent comment stated, you can visually t…

Yea solving hard problems can be quite enjoyable, but can easily become a burden on your mind/body over time. When you're clearly making progress, then everything feels wonderful e…

Glad to see the release, Box2D has some of the best code I've ever read. It's interesting to see that Box3D was originally a fork of a physics engine made by Dirk. Dirk is one of t…

Can't speak to his technical skill, but going through this post, and several of his other posts, this man doesn't seem all that bright. His takes lack nuance, there's no analysis i…

I'm a visible minority who went from the GTA to Boston, everything is fine. People with this attitude are mostly fear mongering. No one I know has been harassed by ICE. Not saying …

Would be similar to the typical simulations of humanoids. If you need to model the deformations of the human body, or get a proper model of tendons that make up humans, it'll be mo…

It's incredibly hard to do good, novel work in 2 years for engineering. You'll likely not learn much either.

No? This is only true if you assume that Newton’s only notable achievement was the creation of calculus. Newton did far more for physics and classical mechanics than Leibniz. Did L…

I'm not in academia, so I might be fully ignorant about how things operate, but if professors don't reaed the actual paper, can do they know if it's BS or not?

They're getting better, and are starting to be used in robotics: https://scenesmith.github.io/

Curious, when you do this, do you understand the math/reasoning of the paper and just have claude as do the coding? Not saying that matters if you just care about the end result, b…

Never tried with that low of a timestep, wonder if that could start causing floating point issues which will lead to more instability.
