I agree. It's possible future AIs will be able to salvage those code bases though.

"it runs on my device" is my criteria of success here

What a coincidence, just yesterday I asked an LLM to generate a C compiler for the 8051 because SDCC's output was not optimized. Within an 1.5 hour it was correctly compiling my project at 60% of the size of what SDCC generates. One or 2 quota refreshes later it passed the SDCC test suite and optimized soft floats.

I just updated 2 dormant apps for the first time in 10 years; It took 2 days, and the apps were approved on a sunday.

You are describing what the Volt was doing back in 2011

Could be an obvious mistake in the title to drive engagement, or as someone said in the comments of the article:

> WSJ catering to the anti EV crowd to get them to say "Har har look at those silly EVs, needs a gas engine now."

If you do take a long-distance trip, the easiest way to cut carbon impact is to just not post about it. Social networks feed the envy that drives consumerism.

oh nice. If it goes up another 100% I may not lose money on this stock anymore.

What companies was this said about?

I agree that the program to create brains will be small, but the logic presented to explain that is false because it ignores the size of the compiler.

For example you can have a program that is 1 bit long and encode either a browser or an OS, provided the compiler/interpreter is big enough.

> The Rust implementation would be as efficient as possible on the given hardware with minimum memory/CPU

My sweet summer child.

And then there are the terrible compile times and huge binaries. In the scenario that you describe, what you want is Zig or C.

Under the utilitarian ethics model, everything from embryo screening to selective breeding/sterilization and genetic engineering would do the trick.

As to what specific gene or sets of gene in mind to alter, that depends on what you define as "bad things" and what is possible.

From a rapid google search, Cystic Fibrosis seems like a candidate.

If we eliminate a gene that causes bad thing to happen, this kind of eugenics would fall into the Utilitarian model, among others.

Of course it did, what the heck is this guy smoking?

> fever-dreamed fantasies

Reminder that what local LLMs are achieving today is the "fever-dreamed fantasies" of 5 years ago.

People really need to internalize that we will eventually have the technology for giving everybody the equivalent of a world class scientist locked in their basement that is willing to do anything.

No one knows the timeline, but it's inevitable (barring societal collapse or some kind of legislation)

In case it's useful for other non-native speakers:

I didn't know about the word "undergirding", and it turns out it's misused here.

"undergirding" means to strengthen something, and carries a positive connotation.

The much more common word "underlying" would have been more appropriate.

I one-shotted non trivial software from OpenGL to Metal with a cheap (=non state of the art) LLM. That was 6 months ago.

Anything in Unreal Engine that you think Fable wouldn't be able to adapt on its own to a different graphics API?

I don't think the Game Porting Toolkit is useful these days: LLMs one-shot ports from one graphics API to another.

Just like programming languages, graphical API choice is irrelevant now.

The title sounds like a line from a KRAZAM video ( e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDr6_cMtfdA )

For one, as of today SOTA LLMs sometimes take the wrong decisions

If you build stuff with AI it's different. It's very tempting to defer many (too many?) decisions to AI.

> he could have easily achieved a solid living via crowdfunding, even for San Francisco standards.

That sounds completely surreal. Is Bun really used that much?

Nobody knows if we are going to "just" be riding bikes for a long time. To give time for society to adapt I hope it's the case, but we really have no idea.

I tell folks there's a chance GTA6 will be ported to PC before it's officially released to PC.

Ever since the android debacle with icons having shadows going in different directions or length I've been thinking that icons should be 3D models (with restrictions to make them fast to render and/or fast to bake into flat images).

That would be a marvelous way to make icons unified and a differentiating move for Apple.

What's the difference between disabling faulty cores and disabling the parts of the wafer that have defects?

Broadcom will let the entire industry leverage the decade of research done for TPUs.

The AI business of Nvidia is cooked.

Possibly stupid question: if we are OK with using Arc everywhere in the UI (UIKit style), does that help?

Dell is screwed by the software and never made the investment in a good touchpad.
