  • What meals do you cook when very low on money?

  • Petty theft rings too true. Had a friend that worked at one of those bulk ingredient shops who'd regularly just take home like a kilo of rice or flour. They don't check anyway and it hardly affects their bottom line.

  • You should give Claude Code a shot if you have a Claude subscription. I'd say this is where AI actually does a decent job: picking up human slack, under supervision, not replacing humans at anything. AI tools won't suddenly be productive enough to employ, but I as a professional can use it to accelerate my own workflow. It's actually where the risk of them taking jobs is real: for example, instead of 10 support people you can have 2 who just supervise the responses of an AI.

    But of course, the Devil's in the detail. The only reason this is cost effective is because of VC money subsidizing and hiding the real cost of running these models.

  • Computer specs for compilation times?

    Jump

  • Compilation is CPU bound and, depending on what language mostly single core per compilation unit (I.e. in LLVM that's roughly per file, but incremental compilations will probably only touch a file or two at a time, so the highest benefit will be from higher single core clock speed, not higher core count). So you want to focus on higher clock speed CPUs.

    Also, high speed disks (NVME or at least a regular SSD) gives you performance gains for larger codebases.

  • I think the main barriers are context length (useful context. GPT-4o has "128k context" but it's mostly sensitive to the beginning and end of the context and blurry in the middle. This is consistent with other LLMs), and just data not really existing. How many large scale, well written, well maintained projects are really out there? Orders of magnitude less than there are examples of "how to split a string in bash" or "how to set up validation in spring boot". We might "get there", but it'll take a whole lot of well written projects first, written by real humans, maybe with the help of AI here and there. Unless, that is, we build it with the ability to somehow learn and understand faster than humans.

  • People seem to disagree but I like this. This is AI code used responsibly. You're using it to do more, without outsourcing all your work to it and you're actively still trying to learn as you go. You may not be "good at coding" right now but with that mindset you'll progress fast.

  • Not a lawyer, but I've had to deal with copyright before. If I'm not mistaken, the only thing the Smite devs could feasibly hold a copyright to is there specific expression of the characters - i.e. the unique visual design, the voice lines, the lore (assuming it's not also just the lore from already existing public domain works), animations, etc., that's the only time you'd be in trouble. With game mechanics it's pretty dicey because I think you'd have a hard time finding a judge to actually rule that any company "owns" a game mechanic. But if you copy how the characters look, the art style, maybe even specific dialogue (which couldn't be found as part of another public domain work) that's when you could possibly have a claim.

    But even still, you have to remember that copyright is not this "oh you've broken the law you're a criminal now" type thing where once you've "infringed" it's over. It's typically handled first via informal means like contacting Steam/Epic/GOG/etc. and saying "hey we believe these guys have stolen our character." They'll have to convince the platforms first, and then the platforms will take it down to avoid liability. It's only if the parties want to pursue it further will they have to take it to court and have a jury/judge rule on it. Copyright suits tend to be ruled on precedent rather than just the black-and-white letter of the law.

  • Well, not exactly. For example, for a game I was working on I asked an LLM for a mathematical formula to align 3D normals. Then I couldn't decipher what it wrote so I just asked it to write the code for me to do it. I can understand it in its code form, and it slid into my game's code just fine.

    Yeah, it wasn't seamless, but that's the frustrating hype part of LLMs. They very much won't replace an actual programmer. But for me, working as the sole developer who actually knows how to code but doesn't know how to do much of the math a game requires? It's a godsend. And I guess somewhere deep in some forum somebody's written this exact formula as a code snippet, but I think it actually just converted the formula into code and that's something quite useful.

    I mean, I don't think you and I disagree on the limits of LLMs here. Obviously that formula it pulled out was something published before, and of course I had to direct it. But it's these emergent solutions you can draw out of it where I find the most use. But of course, you need to actually know what you're doing both on the code side and when it comes to "talking" to the LLM, which is why it's nowhere near useful enough to empower users to code anything with some level of complexity without a developer there to guide it.

  • You can get decent results from AI coding models, though...

    ...as long as somebody who actually knows how to program is directing it. Like if you tell it what inputs/outputs you want it can write a decent function - even going so far as to comment it along the way. I've gotten O1 to write some basic web apps with Node and HTML/CSS without having to hold its hand much. But we simply don't have the training, resources, or data to get it to work on units larger than that. Ultimately it'd have to learn from large scale projects, and have the context size to be able to hold if not the entire project then significant chunks of it in context and that would require some very beefy hardware.

  • I thought it'd drop the "just the trunk space" thing eventually but it reaffirms it towards the end

    But the question specifies that the car should still be drivable, which probably means that the rear seats need to be in place for passengers to sit.

    And the reasoning broke down, you don't need passengers to drive a car. Pretty interesting reading it's "thought" process with the little humanisms like "hmm" and "but wait!"

  • Then again, Minecraft used to be (maybe still is? I haven't modded in a while) a big mess of spaghetti code but somehow modders not only made it work, but made it work without any documentation and working from obfuscated code.
