You may like the track or not, but making Bucephalus Bouncing Ball in 1997 is just fucking nuts.
Is a good economic decision to hype a bit the importance of the LLM$.

Philosophers after 1900 are kind of irrelevant.

After bitcoin this site is full of people who don't write code.
Re:Rob Pike Goes Nuclear over GenAI on Friday December 26, 2025 @07:38AM (#46391467)
Can you please gave us sources of your claim?

"Philosophers" like my brother in law or you mean respected philosophers?

Dont waste your time with clankers.

All those amazing tools are internal and nobody can check them out. How convenient.

And guys don't forget that nobody created one off internal tools before GPT.

Re:Rob Pike Goes Nuclear over GenAI on Friday December 26, 2025 @07:25AM (#46391400)
I will ask again because you have not give us an answer.

Do you have any evidence that an LLM created something massive?

Because its magic!

Is all marketing, it does not even work with js frontend frameworks.
A human trained with 0.00000001% of the money OpenAi uses to train models will perform better.

A human with no traning will perform worse.

Have you not noticed that the story you reference is so well know because... literally every single developer thinks people like Mel are crazy?

Mel or Terry Adams are the exception to the rule... Having that image of greybeards only come if you have never worked with one in real life, sorry you are biased.

You made it up, that is why you can't find it.

Who has ever complained that kids don't write assembly by hand?

Stop being outraged for things that are only real on your mind.

Re:I Wasted 8 Years of My Life in Crypto on Monday December 08, 2025 @06:30PM (#46199149)
I will get downvoted for this but who cares... AI is the same, 10 years and all we have is autocomplete and waifus.
And a 20kg monitor.
A video card is not a GPU.
Re:Using LLMs at Oxide on Sunday December 07, 2025 @08:08AM (#46181426)
This companies have trillions and they are not doing that research. Why?
Re:Using LLMs at Oxide on Sunday December 07, 2025 @08:06AM (#46181413)
If the output is what matters by definition using a non deterministic does not sound like a good idea.
Re:Using LLMs at Oxide on Sunday December 07, 2025 @08:02AM (#46181394)
anyone who is doing serious enough engineering is not using LLMS.
Re:Autism's Confusing Cousins on Saturday December 06, 2025 @08:29PM (#46178400)
I think I have some kind of autism because I have been doing this social skill game for decades and still has not "clicked" with me.

It does not mean I am bad at it, it means I don't understand the rules. I can copy others people tactics and sometimes it works, but still don't know why.

Those are not mutually exclusive.

You can have a life harder than most and at the same time not having the worst life in the world.

17% of children experience violence at home. The fact that 5000k away there are other kids dying in wars is the consolation you think it is.

Re:Why are my headphones buzzing whenever I run my game? on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @01:34PM (#46138144)
If you had that conversation before and you still having noise, maybe you are not doing the right thing... Sigh...
Re:Why are my headphones buzzing whenever I run my game? on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @12:04PM (#46136960)
No need for UPS, a good external usb soundcard with power supply will solve that problem.

I have all connected to the the same power circuit and with a Elektron Digitakt as audio device and have zero noise.

With audio devices powered by USB there is a lot of noise.

Re:OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google catches up in AI race on Tuesday December 02, 2025 @10:07PM (#46129845)
Popular HN threads about anything AI related always attract stories highlighting AI success. It's such a common pattern I want to analyze it and get numbers. (which might require to use my brain...)
Is just your average AI user. Too much "your are right" makes them detached from reality.
Maybe you should talk more to your mother so she does not need a imaginary friend.

I am not in Spain. But I am Spanish. I think it gets blocked in Spain and in Italy.
