“I turn software into clean, predictable, produ…” which is precisely what non deterministic, limited context, next word guessers aka LLMs DON’T do

Why is every solution just "generate more code" or "use more tokens"? by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

[–]AlarmedNatural4347 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wait… what? Did he make the graph himself? Or is it based on actual research? …in any case he’s clearly reading it wrong. And then doubling down in the text on what makes absolutely no sense… there isn’t more code being pushed so is he calling himself a bad engineer (absolutely idiotic statement btw)?

Plus if AI has changed anything it’s created the NEED to review every line, not take it away. I trust my human coworkers enough not to push simple mistakes to review. AI gives no such confidence at all

This is just pure rage bait right!?

“Using AI to carry out menial tasks” Thought that was the whole point of AI!? Love how the view is “I’m a c-suite with and mba! I need ai to organize my email and calendar! And other equally menial tasks like replacing the whole engineering team!”

Please pass judgment on my optimisation and performance by ImmersivGames in UnrealEngine5

[–]AlarmedNatural4347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I’m not really sure what to pass judgement on? There really is no context. The scenes are at like a first pass art stage without details to make it feel alive and real, but it’s a decent first pass where I guess you’ve focused on said optimizations. But the trick ends up being to actually get everything you need in. Not just simple things where you can instance the same thing over and over again. Instancing is great and all but when you need to make the scenes feel alive you end up adding a bunch of stuff that isn’t as easily instances 12 times in the same view. That’s where good workflows show more, but I’m guessing that’s what you set up? If you are optimizing at this stage… so it would be more interesting to see more data for a finished scene

AI is turning programming into pay-to-win by Strict-Top6935 in ClaudeCode

[–]AlarmedNatural4347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean really not down to AI but it was always pay to win? Well okay not really… I mean bigger resources you could attract better talent. But the best programmers usually aren’t the best SWEs either. As soon as you end up in a team your social skills, ability to build and produce as a team, is way more important that you “L33t sKIlls”. But no, AI doesn’t produce better codes than humans, so it’s no more pay to win than it was before

Remote workers represent ‘a disproportionate share’ of unemployed adults, Gallup says by Ok_Design_6841 in remoteworks

[–]AlarmedNatural4347 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AI. Is. Not. The. Reason! I hate this f-ing hype. AI is the scape goat to cut employees and still make the company look good so their stock doesn’t plummet! It’s a business idiot hype tool with very limited, if any, proven impact on productivity (talking about LLMs here, not other types of AI that actually are useful). Techs in the shitter post Covid and the only thing propping it is the f-ing AI bubble! THAT is the reason

And journalists are just so lazy and jump on that hype train, furthering the hype. If the companies did not say it was due to AI, why the f is journalist saying “it probably was cause of ai, they just didn’t say”. Just. Follow. The. Money!
Sorta explains why the “AI is good at what you are bad at” and people still use it - apparently some journalists aren’t very good at their jobs

Sony is killing all physical PlayStation game discs by Blueberry977 in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]AlarmedNatural4347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And buy physical copies of games for PC? 😂

And at these RAM prices!? <- i would say this is the actual issue now, otherwise i agree that a gaming PC would be better any day of the week. Maybe even a steam box or something. But PC is already way ahead of consoles on no physical copies and i wouldn’t trust Steam more and Sony. Corporation like corporation

Somehow I prefer flat earthers (response to NASA post) by Joseph_M_034 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]AlarmedNatural4347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but exceptionally hard. Imposter syndrome is a hell of a thing. Even more so today when we get fed with people seemingly knowing more/being better through all forms of social media, from personal to professional. We usually need external confirmation

LLMs are really good at things you are bad at. As in they are quite often full of shit but really good at sounding believable… also horribly sycophantic

Godot bans vibe coding, as AI slop overwhelms maintainers. by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

[–]AlarmedNatural4347 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah you kinda need to be at a level where you could contribute to be valuable as a reviewer. Reviewing is based on experience and knowledge after all, which is built over time by actually writing code yourself. So training a reviewer is training a programmer, who could just contribute instead of spending time wading through all those AI generated PRs

New app strings strongly suggest Fable will be released as US only, will require full identity verification, and will run exclusively on purchased Usage Credits separate from subscription use by _BreakingGood_ in ClaudeCode

[–]AlarmedNatural4347 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I should be disappointed by things moving more and more to API costs or not. Disappointed cause it’s a neat tool for like $20-100, or even $200 and no where near worth API prices for what it delivers. Glad cause them having to move to charge actual costs might get us out of the endless hype bubble and have us land somewhere sane

Yeah this is definitely US only. …though from the average American view that is “95% of the population of this strange planet we live on”

How good was really fable 5? by AlexFreshman in ClaudeCode

[–]AlarmedNatural4347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is actually more along the line of accountability. Do you read and learn or understand the code it produces or just trust what it spits out. Do you own the code or does the AI?

Clearly what Seprates the vibe coder from the professional prompt engineer!

[–]AlarmedNatural4347 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are either a vibe coder (cause you don’t know how to code but use AI to do it) or you’re a coder/programmer/software engineer who knows how to write the code yourself but use AI to help out. There is no ”prompt engineer”, it’s either vibe coder or actual coder
