I suppose when I say, "It's not like its their fault", I'm more saying that expressing any frustration you feel towards an imagined AI personhood is wasted effort.

I think that's a totally fair perspective. I guess what I'm more saying is that we should, like this paper seems to suggest as pointed out by verdverm in another comment in this th…

I think we should be nice to the robots. It's not like it's their fault.

This reminds me of how excited people were to get models running locally when llama.c first hit.

I feel your pain. For me it is the opposite: I get headaches from bright backgrounds because I'm light-sensitive.

In response to "There is no pride in managing or understanding complexity.", I posit the following based on my experience: Understanding and managing complexity is one of the first…

This is not a good way to hire or develop the best. The best are going to go elsewhere.

Artficial Intelgence will make use speel bestest!

Never assume as malice what can more easily be explained by incompetence or accident.

Romhacking.net is a titan of the homebrew and rom hacking community. Your work will not be forgotten and you will be sorely missed.

Fast Matrix Multiplication is also useful for physics and other simulations, so I'm sure someone will make some SDKs or something for such AI hardware beyond just the scope of AI.

This was a lot of fun. Reminded me of one of the earliest C programs I wrote when I was learning to code on Win98, before I really knew how computers worked. I was curious: "What d…

As far as games and music are concerned, my needs are fulfilled by Steam and Spotify. I have basically just stopped consuming TV-style content because I just don't care enough abou…

I think your definition of a project is too prescriptive, and is derived from the business world. A project need not be defined by a clear scope or deadlines, it is simply an exten…

I like sharing ideas with someone while we're both coding together. I think "pair programming" works a lot better when two people sit down and work together on different parts of t…

I wouldn't touch software development with a ten foot pole if it wasn't fun. It's fine to enforce a code style in your own projects, but proselytizing them truth from on high is a …

In his case, I'm glad they probably never will.

Commenting about the cringe-worthiness of the tone: I noticed early on in my career that folks seem to be extremely polar in their idea of "right" and "wrong" choices when it comes…

Men are whatever they want to be.

Being able to read and understand other people's code is a tremendous skill. Passing technical interviews is a skill in and of itself. Everyone has room to grow, and even the most …

Yes, and it is my preferred method of editing `.gitignore` files: cat >> .gitignore *.pyc ^D

In general your imtui library looks really nice. I may have to consider it for some future projects!

It always icks me out when people recommend this. Like with `get-pip.py`... It's fine to download that and run it to install pip, but for the love of GNU please at least take a cur…

It definitely sounds like the problem is with your team's culture. I stayed on with my last team and company for 6 years, 3 years beyond the point where it was enjoyable, and wish …

This is a joke post, right?...
