The amount of things you're trying to simulate within the the performance contraints (games push computers to their absolute limits). An example - a 3d humanoid character. You need code to manage the mesh, the animation (probably skele

This all sounds great until you've actually had your own small business and experienced things from the other side. Employees are expensive, good employees are hard to find, and sometimes things need to be fixed outside 9-5 to avoid ha

Where did he say not to use LLMs? Oh that's right: he didn't.

Slight pushback - I think there's still a lot more consistency and coherence in a human's recollection of their motives than an LLM. Sometimes I think we're too eager to compare ourselves to them.

My first reaction to these kinds of outcomes is always: what did you expect? Because whatever it was it was disconnected from the reality.

Personally I haven't stopped doing things the old way. I haven't had any issues using LLMs as rubber ducks or brain storming assistants - they can be particularly useful for identifying algorithms which might solve a given problem

I'm also biased, but I think millenials turned out okay ;).

The same could have been said to someone who had yet to encounter generative AI. "Wait until you try it, you won't be underwhelmed for long". But here we are. Over time and usage the limitations of a thing become apparent.

Just to clarify, here's my actual position - it was only implied in the first comment so I'll spell it out: 1. We shouldn't kill or harass or destroy the property of someone like Altman. AKA, I'm not in disagreement with

I consider rights a functional abstraction. That is to say, they're useful, we should abide them as a tenet of a civilized society, but we also made them up. And importantly we all recognize that they're conditional - if you cross

I get the impression dating via games is becoming much more common in general. Anecdotal example - I'm 39 and used to be an avid counterstrike player, and back in my days (2005-2014) it was 99.9% men. But every so often I play it now a

Being a somewhat lazy individual myself, I'm wary of this statement. It feels too... comforting. "It's okay that I wasn't productive today, because laziness has merits". I consider my laziness a part of who I am, an

The author's making considered speculations about where things might go. You're just putting your hands up in the air and saying 'we don't know'.

I've found these posts to be excellent - wonderful reads really. Props to the author.

Fun game, though a difficulty of playing it on a phone is your primed finger gets in the way of seeing the ball!

Thanks for the recommendation, the premise of the show sounds great!

One million robots to be manufactured in a year - one million robots which will likely be obsolete within five years (if that, I wouldn't be surprised if they're dead on arrival). I don't know the figures for Earth's res

It's the whims of emotion - in the moment a person says it it can be quite sincere, as that's their genuine mood in that instance, but later on the mood passes and the effort involved in arranging something outweighs the desire. I

Idleness is something we crave when we lack it, but too much of it can also be its own kind of hell. For instance, post retirement depression.

Read my mind. I want to see what it got right and wrong, whether it's an absolute mess or actually maintainable over time, etc.

Man, I really don't miss working in C++. Used to be my daily driver until I ended up in C# land. I understand why C++ is the way it is, I understand why it's still around and the purposes it serves, but in terms of the experience

That just takes you back to the debate about the code being the spec.

I think it's dramatic to say it's the end of hand written code. That's like saying it's the end of bespoke suits. There are scenarios where carefully hand written and reviewed code are still going to have merit - for exa

A year ago I swapped out a 5800x for a 5800x3d to get more stable frame rates in Counterstrike 2. Made a sizable difference, especially to 1% lows, so these large caches can clearly be a big boon. Granted it's also obvious the game is

A bit optimistic I'd say. It's put some software engineering within reach of some people who couldn't do it prior. Where 'some' might be a lot, but still far from all. I was thinking the other day of how things

Funny - one of those things you don't really wonder about until someone points it out, but which proves pretty interesting once you're aware of it.

More broadly the dimension of time is always a problem in gamedev, where you're partially inching everything forward each frame and having to keep it all coherent across them. It can easily and often does lead to messy rube goldberg ma
