> This has worked much better for us than asking a model to draw lines in a GUI. It also means the benchmark can spend less time testing computer use and more time testing electronics. this is key I think - I use it for graphics tasks -

Interesting - If you're after cross platform Flutter/Dart seems a more cross platform solution (mobile, desktop and web), or Delphi/Lazarus without the web.

I never really bought into it, I still think ideas are hard, and execution may be a little easier, but still hard to. The lack of thousands of amazing new startups since AI sort of validates this.

by chadcmulligan 21d ago
what happened to ideas are cheap - execution is everything. As Claude said to me when I said the same thing - it's not really its idea you had to ask the right questions. I find this true in some ways - asking the right question and fi

oh ok, thats classified as neurodivergent to, there we go, seems a poor way to organise things. It wasn't a thing when I was young, good to know, thanks

thats ok, I'm not really disturbed. I do wonder if there's evolving a restricted definition of 'normal' in some circles. I am older and it never used to be this way, it's the internet of course. People aren't t

Thanks, I didn't really mean it was a negative, perhaps this is indicative of the problem - someone finds things odd, therefore here's a list of diagnoses. I should up my dosage of soma probably.

Disappointing - it seems I'm neither German or Autistic, but normal, and yet my experience suggests otherwise

Thanks for the links - from the OP post "Neurotypical syndrome is a neurobiological disorder characterized by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority, and obsession with conformity." I know this is a gag, but

by chadcmulligan 25d ago
I sometimes wonder if there are other possible neurodivergence, I'm not neurotypical, but I'm also not autistic (at least according to the criteria I've seen), just a bit odd or quirky doesn't seem to be enough.

Alien is the same imho, hard to believe two of the most iconic sci fi's were created by the same guy and only 3 years apart.

where's it mentioned on that link? I can't seem to find hallucinations (don't worry found it). Yes, sometimes its wrong, most times its right, cross checking is fairly easy, not using it because of the possibility its wrong s

These animations are great. I have learnt so many things from LLM's, cross checking things is easy enough, but the hallucinations are really not much of a thing any more (in my experience). When you deep dive on things it does seem to

Very cool, did you suggest Rust/Bevy? Claude is always recommending it to me as an exemplar, it does seem nice but moving to rust would be a project. I wonder how it gets these ideas stuck in its pseudo head.

interesting, probably has something to do with why some people like pair programming. I'm in the visio-spatial-tacit and refuse pair programming because its so much work, but all thinking in words its probably not a stretch.

Sure, but that has nothing to do with watching the news though, I would put it paying attention to the news actually takes time from things you could do.

"We should be aware of current events" - should we? Why? There is an avalanche of current events, I've stopped paying attention and I still find out - its impossible to avoid, I see absolutely no value in paying attention to

"why do neural networks work better than other models?" That sounds really interesting - any references (for a non specialist)?

If you dive into Analysis (the underlying theory behind calculus) this book - "How to Think About Analysis" by Lara Alcock is the book I wish I had when I studied it. Calculus by Spivak is the book I learnt from but it is probably
