    Its fun but is it really effective ? I mean I checked the LLM one and I came out more confused about a topic I already know about, I find the best way to to learn using LLMs is to …

    This doesn't make sense, I enjoy making bread at home but it costs 10x and tastes like dog shit I dont want to spend my time perfecting the craft of making bread for my daily needs…

    How exactly do you envision this ? you will ask the ai to make youtube but better, people seperate the "what" from the "how" but they have a very complex relationship

    I feel like the actual core mechanic at improving is the actual act of "recall", it doesnt matter what you do if its a form of recall it is effective and very awkward in practice b…

    The difference between 20 cycles and 1 clock cycle in a hot loop is very noticeable

    What are you talking about in a hot loop in my software renderer this is like 10x faster // color4_t result = { // .r = (src.r * src.a + dst.r * inv_alpha) * INV_255, // .g = (src.…

    It doesnt have to able to generate original things, its enough to be able to detect what makes it original and replicate the original thing with enough variations in different cont…

    Depends on how good the slop fork machine is, the act of true original creation is a messy and long process if it can be replicated to death immediately basically for free its not …

    It was a never a velocity problem though, rapid progress comes mainly from designing better systems and building tight abstractions not by writing using the same primitives faster

    I dont want that though, I want someone to spend much more time than I can afford thinking about and perfecting a product that I can pay for and dont worry about it

    I thought the main idea of vim is that touch typers who are really fast can do everything without lifting their fingers from the main row, which is a really motivating reason imo, …
