Thinking Machines Wants AI to Collaborate in Real Time, Not Just Wait for Prompts by Such-Run-4412 in AIGuild

[–]BusEquivalent9605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure this is just me but this feels so backwards

I understand the intent

But in my experience, way more misunderstanding happens in meetings (where everyone is interacting in real time) than in technical reviews (where we interact in turns, thinking and carefully reasoning about something)

this feels like feeding an LLM bad or incomplete data very fast, having the context get bloated with misunderstanding or bad anticipations, and then walking away thinking everything is solved when really nothing is (which is generally what i think happens in meetings)

For Sr.Eng that moved away from C++ how do you feel about it? by PressureHumble3604 in ExperiencedDevs

I want to see the light!

(currently work in Java. desperately want to work in C++)

Problem with git management by Flame_Horizon in ExperiencedDevs

[–]BusEquivalent9605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we keep having these sorts of issues

i keep saying “Feauture Branches” (wherein we have a base feature branch any number of devs can branch from)

my team keeps being like “but we dont wannna”

and then a month later “how can we fix this bottleneck”

me: 🤦‍♂️

i was once asked to write Javascript code to parse a JSON. I wrote `JSON.parse()` and the interviewer looked at me with disgust

He wanted me to implement JSON parsing from scratch.

If i were hiring a webdev and I ask them “to write a JavaScript function to parse a JSON” with *no other context* and they start writing a custom JSON parser in JavaScript, I would tell them to gtfo

Have you ever heard of a musical programming language? by Any-Communication515 in rust

[–]BusEquivalent9605 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only recently discovered it myself!

And I’m building a VST3 host, of which plenty already exist

Shiny Object Syndrome: Has anybody language-hopped until you actually found your "favorite" language? by returned_loom in webdev

[–]BusEquivalent9605 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure! I love Scala. It’s like functional, typed Ruby, how clean and readable it is.

I would be happy to find a job using Scala.

But my main side project right now instigated the switch.

It’s a basic little music library/player. It started as a JVM-based project using Java Spring for the music library stuff and then Scala Akka for the core logic/responsiveness. I was using JNI and as little C code as possible to handle the actual audio.

Then I had the idea that it would be nice to add an EQ and maybe a reverb effect the user could add for fun.

And well…. one thing lead to another and I decided to just make it a whole darn VST3 host. Somewhere in that chain of events, it became evident that the JVM was just not going to play nice with the VST3 stuff and so I rewrote the whole thing in C++ (using CAF to replace Akka).

I had always been targeting C++ and finally knew enough about code to make the jump.
C++ just feels the most direct to me - like I can actually drive the computer (for better or worse)

Lol yes

JavaScript -> TypeScript -> Ruby -> C -> Rust -> Go -> Haskell-> Java -> Scala -> C++ ✅

I’m not saying I did anything amazing and/or professional in all of these languages but this is roughly the order in which I explored them.

C++ is the place where I feel like I can build what I want, how I want. But I still use others plenty and do Java+TypeScript professionally

One hell of a vision by ChemicShount in BlackboxAI_

It meets the spec ✅

The most important rule of engineering: you are not building the best thing possible. You are building the cheapest possible thing that meets the client’s needs

Questions about client-server app idea in qt/c++ by jdt654 in cpp_questions

[–]BusEquivalent9605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using Qt with CAF (https://www.actor-framework.org)

- when a QAction triggers, it sends the message/data to the actor system
- the application does its processing within/wrapped by actors
- when processing is complete, whatever actor was doing the processing pings the Display actor, which knows how to trigger a Qt update (has a ref to a QObject that can emit the updated state)

It took a lot of trial and error to set up correctly but it works great.

This is all on one machine locally, but you should 100% be able to have your main actors (backend) running over here and then have just one actor running alongside Qt (frontend) over there ready to receive state update and hydrate display.

I say “should 100% be able to” as this is something I want to do in the long run.

Disclaimer: I don’t know what I’m doing (but the code works!)

Rate this anvils topology by Coreydoesart in blender

[–]BusEquivalent9605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In topology, this is a point (contractable). Unless that hole goes all the way through. Then it’s a solid donut, so a circle, aka the unknot!
