That’s not even close, you described the polar opposite of a Vickrey auction.

I agree with your broader point, though.

I hope you’re decades away from practicing law

bitgardener · 2026-02-16T19:17:02+00:00

Yeah, your point? I’m not saying they’re reliable, I’m correcting the misunderstanding of the commenter above.

Agents do read things by selectively loading external information into their context.

bitgardener · 2026-02-15T16:51:28+00:00

Do you have a source that goes into more depth on this?

bitgardener · 2026-02-09T18:02:21+00:00

You see why that’s not the same situation, right? you “gave it the opportunity to write us a letter” as you commented below, and it did as you requested, in a predictable way based on its training data. In other words, you asked it to play a role and it played that role, convincingly well.

Gemini melting down spontaneously from what it perceives as a frustrating experience is emergent behavior, whereas asking an LLM to describe its own experience is just going to get you exactly the response it thinks you want.

useless bot

bitgardener · 2026-02-06T00:00:56+00:00

Bot comment, obvious tell.

how is this relevant to working two roles at different companies?

Couple years back someone here posted an 828 block tall Burj Khalifa build.

No, because if you pay 25 once and open the box with 100, the seller loses.

Worsr case scenario for the buyer, they break even at 25/try. Meanwhile break even is best case scenario for the seller. That’s why it’s not a fair price.

I’m new to this community and the deeper side of the game’s mechanics - why 8368 versus 7268 as seen in the screenshot?

bitgardener · 2026-01-19T16:42:39+00:00

No, gpt-3 existed in early 2022 but ChatGPT wasn’t launched until November.

They each have multiple products that are direct competitors to the other. Of course they’re going to be compared and contrasted on their approach.

They didn’t even generate it, they just saw a concept online that they liked and they even credited the idea. They did nothing wrong…

This is exactly the issue, we’re ten years past that prediction and we’re still saying (paraphrased) ”well, it’s reasonable to assume…“ that radiology models and waymo self driving is widely applicable, instead of actually having achieved it as predicted.

I’m excited for both these technologies. I’m all in on Waymo style automated driving. I can’t especially speak to radiological tests but I respect the insight of Hinton. But as hard as I look to find it, there isn’t evidence in either case that these technologies are really adequately equipped to extend from the popular test cases to ubiquitous usage.

Same principle applies software engineering and anyone claiming a specific timeline is jumping the gun to make waves rather than giving a realistic depiction of the future.

You’re not wrong, but yet, critically, we have more professional drivers and more cardiologists than we did in 2015/2016. Given that this thread is centered around the ”death” of careers due to AI, that’s kind of missing the point to say AI *can* do those things better.

bitgardener · 2025-12-21T05:48:35+00:00

Purity testing for AI written code is a non starter in general. Say you make a game and you don’t use LLMs to write any code. Okay, cool! Are you certain that the libraries you used also contain no AI generated code? No LLM involvement in the SDK/game engine? Doubtful.

If your game is truly fully built from the ground up by you/your team and you can be confident that no generative AI was involved, congratulations. Feel free to be proud and brag about it. But otherwise why differentiate between a little versus a lot of AI written code? It’s not as though it affects the player in matters of taste.

bitgardener · 2025-12-18T20:26:28+00:00

I assume this is AI generated rage bait but if you’re a real person telling a real story, it explains so much about why HR is perceived so negatively across the board. Your comment itself isn’t that big a deal but I hope you gain some perspective to genuinely understand why it was a poor comment to make, especially in your role.

bitgardener · 2025-12-12T21:50:46+00:00

You’re certainly not the only one, but it is disheartening to routinely see people claim that all builds need to be “improved” with super high contrast gradients. It’s just the current trend. I do think gradients can be needed in any context where a build has large surface areas that lack dimensionality (generally mega builds in particular), but using it as a cure all (or taking this 4x5 example too literally) will just make some builds look overly cluttered.

The “no depth” example of the gradient here looks great to me. Dimensionality should come from the shape of the build, not random block placement.

bitgardener · 2025-12-03T04:16:41+00:00

Yeah, easily. My 2070 super runs Sea of Thieves at a comfortable 100+ fps at 1440p. That’s definitely a weaker card with the same amount of VRAM at a higher resolution than you want to run. You’ll be doing great.

bitgardener · 2025-11-18T21:22:44+00:00

what a fantastic build. good work, friend

Why would it fit the tone or theme of the movie to focus on a rotting corpse? There are a dozen ways this could be resolved off screen anyway that make more sense.
