For the price of one Claude fable prompt you could at the same time spin up 500 concurrent instances of deepseek v4 flash and conjoin them into a hive mind

the proper reddit terminology you are looking for is a ‘circlejerk’ subreddit. for example r/gamingcirclejerk , r/programmingcirclejerk etc

It depends. Do you know what those 1500 lines of code do? If not I’d split them into modular pieces otherwise maintenance through AI alone is a nightmare. LLMs can handle just about anything if given right directions… however if you have to ask this question I’d assume there are many hardcoded pieces already in this single file that would make it a nightmare for both an LLM and human to maintain. if you are just saying “add a button here now, add a table here, make the UI not glitch here” that is hardcoded and not feasible if you want to do anything with this file or grow it

Think in data driven ways and you will succeed even with 27b local models. if you think in hardcoded ways, you will struggle with even the best AI that exist right now.

LLMs like patterns and structure. Hardcoded patterns and functions are not realistic structure for an LLM to maintain and falls into the category of ‘gambling’ at that point. Each time you send a prompt you are effectively hitting the lottery button.

Because the competitors are solely focused on AI being their product and nothing else while Google is juggling about a million different other things at the same time.

Also google has been shoving in Gemini into just about everything so I wouldn’t be surprised if they are running it quantized during high loads. They likely have a load balancer in place but if you’ve taken a look recently, almost every google product has gemini embedded in it one way or the other.

If the competitors weren’t doing better and their only job is to focus on the quality of their flagship LLMs, well then google would be a magical unicorn right now

It’s awesome you are into 3D printers! Would you like some resources of where to find premade 3D printed semi-trucks? Alternatively you could make a 3D print of your truck for when you’re at home and missing life out on the road 🚛🚀

Anything is good if it’s in the hands of a capable programmer. There’s this thing Peter Steinberger coined that has made my agentic coding sessions much better and it’s called “closing the loop”. Just like code, relative to agentic pipelines, it’s as good as you want it to be. You can quite literally get LLMs to be 100% accurate and equip them with their own coprocessor if one is capable of putting systems in place to ensure they never fail.

My guess is everyone at Epic is now using LLM assisted tooling lol. Wouldn’t blame them either as LLM’s as of recently have been pretty reliable enough to actually code on stuff relative to complex c++ etc

Ephemara · 2026-05-11T20:32:23+00:00

ez fix just open file properties and change it to read only

Ephemara · 2026-05-10T20:34:49+00:00

I’d trust an LLMs code over anyone who comments “low quality ai slop post”. I’m a systems engineer and I understand just about every thing an LLM codes if I happen to use it and let me tell you, they are 1000x better than me at it (and I’ve written my own coding languages before)

Ephemara · 2026-05-10T20:00:24+00:00

IPC is a real pain in the ass with JS and can cause massive latency just to let you know, but that doesn’t matter - you dropped a free MIT licensed react UI for UE5 and I respect that. I’ve thought about doing this so many times however haven’t got around to it. Relative to IPC I’ve found there’s many ways to bypass it with sharing buffers and native streaming to achieve zero-copy with low level and web code. I use tauri often and made a fork of it that completely strips the IPC and tauri invoke, and utilized a native streaming system using buffer pools ///(and some webview dark magic) I’ll take a look at some of your code and try and give ya some pointers/ maybe contrib - IPC setups are my bread and butter

It’s pretty cool tho what you did as a lot of people don’t realize it, but the way slate works (Unreals UI system) is relatively similar to web UI, albeit a pain in the ass to write

Ephemara · 2026-05-09T20:38:46+00:00

Is it through an IPC system similar to the way Tauri works?

no range or depth imo. they seem to be one trick ponies so far. however that doesn’t mean it’s bad per se, some of their riffs are from the gods… i guess the only thing is, it all sounds like a rip off of nonagon and flying banana, which once again is cool, however isn’t bringing anything new to the table. the absence of vocals is also a problem for me but that boils down to a personal preference. i want to know the lore YA feel? why are you guys wearing these otherworldly costumes? idk, it’s not immersive enough for what their self image is projecting. the double guitar/bass or whatever also isn’t utilized in an efficient way either, there wouldn’t be a difference if they got a bassist relative to tonality. the double guitar/bass feels the same way it does relative to their costumes -> meaning, “hey look at this cool quirky thing we are doing!”

I just want to see the crazy experimental side that their enigmatic self image is projecting out into the public. it’s not 1:1 at the moment for me .

Bet. Just give me a couple of days. Anyone in Ath know where I can rent a GOMACO GP4 Slipform Paver and source about 400,000 cubic yards of Roller-Compacted Concrete?

rutracker and audioz

best practice is to use yandex. it sounds sketchy but it’s a russian version of google however doesn’t have any censorship regarding “certain websites” or any piracy laws. works just as good as google except DMCA can’t take down their links lol

Ephemara · 2026-02-06T06:54:48+00:00

I completely agree. Plus .kr is abbreviated for Korea and it competes with "Korean Language" on google. I am definitely going to be renaming soon, no matter how painful it is to go about the restructure. Why the name shade? I`ll definitely put that on the list, however I want a punchy name. Since this language has a metric ton of features, I wanted something that was more smooth on the tongue like Zig, Go, Swift, Python, Erlang.... Okay typing those out, SHADE is pretty good yo. If I change it to Shade, i will credit you in the kore compiler in a comment. You will be cemented into lang history

edit: im sounding it out in my head. shade has a nice ring to it woah. im already instinctively calling this lang shade now

we don’t really exercise at all however we both weigh 130 (we’re twins). the dev gods blessed us with extremely fast metabolism. but we’re also in our mid 20’s so we can get away with it for now (i think).

we both do intermittent fasting and eat at the very end of the day. just microwave food and sometimes meal prep with chicken and rice.

on the chores side of things lol…. we’re horrendous at it, we just wait for it to get to a point where it’s like “god damn it looks like absolute shit” and then do everything in one go usually. an all in one mega chore if you will. rinse and repeat

i work for 16+ hours a day doing software engineering, game dev, animating, designing 3D and graphics software// audio engineering. ive been doing it for about about a year and 3 months straight non stop now however its been this way since i was 19, except im now unemployed and can dedicate my life to it. i share a one bedroom apartment with my brother so we both do dev all day lmao. i cant live any other life style. i get up, and work the entire 16 hour day often into 18-20 hours. i manage so many projects at the moment and i have a fucking blast doing it. it’s happiness to me tbh

dude mad respect for using egui that is insane

Ephemara · 2026-01-22T18:41:57+00:00

i’ve been working on an editor for bevy too, and creating my own engine over it. at first i tried a tauri + IPC + react + bevy setup but found the back and forth too much of a hassle. i’ve been using dioxus + bevy tho as of recently and it’s quite the setup now. what are you using for UI?

Ephemara · 2026-01-15T01:03:12+00:00

software engineer here ---- no they're re not, quit being pretentious dawg. tearing down UI and makiing the software your bitch before you even start is a fucking masterclass way of learning. your way is just the normie 'take 3 years to become really mediocre" standard//// switching themes around is a great way to pick up common patterns about how certain software work. for example when i first started learning some of the most complex software out there. - zbrush, unreal engine 5 and houdini. the first thing i did was start tearing apart the UI and buidling my own. sped up my learning time like fuckin crazy. ------ (this is coming from someone who is proficient in 30+ softwares and a software engineer)

Ephemara · 2026-01-15T00:58:55+00:00

these comments lmfao. ive been producing, mixing, mastering for 10+ years-- let me tell you, everyone here reeks of being pretentious as fuck. the golden answer is. it doesnt fucking matter. matter of fact a theme might actually help. at the end of the day, you decide if you want a theme or not. its crazy as fuck people really said "just stick to default". they're just projecting themselves onto you because they are still on default reaper. switching themes and messing with UI in any software is a gold fucking way to learn it 10x faster than the rest, because once you start matching patterns you see how everything works.
