The actual problem is that no-one had considered that this (desync between front and backend) COULD happen. Once it was realized that it was possible (and worth testing) the bug was practically solved already. Such is true for many bugs. Ev

That's my experience too. Its unfair to expect current AI to do this - since good abstractions are extremely task specific. Hard to train on that. What's also annoying is that AI's approach is not consistent within a project,

Impressive, also horrifying. I love what I do and if AI can do it better than that sucks. Anyway the use case for me is to realize a new visual style through graphics programming. It's a lot less measurable for an interative AI agent t

I guess you didn't understand my comment ;) Look, goals can differ. If you don't need to understand and predict every part of the code the AI is generating and you just need it to meet a "sketch" of what you want - by al

The word "understand" seems to mean something different to you. If I understand something, I could write it in assembly if I wanted to. It might take a long time, but I know every level of the stack under my code down to bare meta

While that may be true, you can be confident that it works in a way you personally understand. Because you understood it in the past. Also, if you finish your work on a module with care - you return to a module you can trust with clear boun

Random reply: 20 days ago you asked for my ChatGPT custom instructions to be more skeptical. It is : Use an encouraging tone. Adopt a skeptical, questioning approach. Call me on things which don't seem right. List possible assumptions

You know how to add logic on the outside of a function, by putting that function into a larger one and calling the function in the middle. However, how do you inject logic INTO the middle of a function? Say you have a function which can ite

There is a strategy called alpha beta pruning meaning you can discard a lot of move options quickly based on the results of similar branches. That and caching similar board states means 20x options does not mean 20x CPU time.

That's probably assuming a solar system sized to cover typical summer energy usage. You can simply over-provision solar until you have wasted capacity in summer and little to no storage requirement in winter. Then it's just a trad

Perhaps not in a 100% world, though I'll give you the point that they are useful now. In a 100% renewable world we would not be extracting or refining oil. Natural gas (used by these turbines) is a byproduct of oil drilling. Were we no

The free market is an analyzable simplification of the real market, however I think the assumptions hold in this case. If a CEO delivers a certain advantage (a profit multiplier) it's rational that a bidding war will ensue for that CEO

They are a bridge between those with money and those with skill. Plus they can aggregate information and act as a repository of knowledge and decision maker for their teams. These are valuable skills, though perhaps nowhere near as valuable

Sure, but Fortnite's UI is set up to sell to you the whole time. After every match you can see unlocks. Before every match you spend time surrounded by other players with their skins and emotes. The relationship between EXP and levels

While true, at least Gabe proved you could make a profit while still remaining non-evil.

I think that's more a situation where publishers demand some form of DRM so steam is trying to provide a default solution that most publishers are happy with.

Sure, but you currently cannot teach AI models to generate novel art in the same way that you can teach a human apprentice.

Also resolution & uniformity Color makes major compromises physically also, since it seems like the Red, Green and Blue channels are sampling from the same physical location but the actual sensor buckets are offset from each other.

If you want to stay in the bay area and leverage your experience, perhaps you want to become a technical co-founder for someone? Otherwise it might make sense to move out of the bay area to where there are lower costs of living and then low
