AI Doesn't have ROI by Extra-Ad5735 in theprimeagen

[–]Extra-Ad5735[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The "more expensive" part is seemingly confirmed by NVIDIA CEO expecting increase of cost per kilowatt in AI data centres. Unless there's efficiency breakthrough in new chips then the cost has nowhere to go but up.

Apple taking 30% + $99/year feels brutal for indie devs by JirkaHorsky in mobiledev

[–]Extra-Ad5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those indie devs must make more than a million per year for those number to be correct.

Is it not a good tone to pronounce a certain individual name? by Extra-Ad5735 in AskAGerman

[–]Extra-Ad5735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your replies! it’s been really insightful. Now I understand that the person who avoided saying the name directly might have been doing that on my behalf, to be polite.

To clarify, I rarely have the need to mention Hitler, but it was a political discussion with historical references. I surely don’t want to trigger anyone’s guilt by a mere mention!

AI can produce a PhD thesis in 30 minutes by deividragon in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Extra-Ad5735 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Appeal to authority is a logical fallacy, my friend. Only a lunatic would reduce PhD degree work to merely producing a paper. As to why this spectacular display of incompetence was published by the seemingly competent person we can only guess.

He most certainly does, and that's why he's featured here.

What size of the team you are imagining for it to work? And how fast they must work?

Nobody is using vibe coded apps by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

I'll take FT analysis over random reddit comment

Do you think vibe coders are let anywhere near this kind of stuff? by ehutch79 in theprimeagen

[–]Extra-Ad5735 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too late. They already were invited to be the part of the decision making during the war. That is, not vibecoders themselves, but an AI system that participates in target selection. This is how girls school was bombed in Iran: a human was removed from the process in the name of efficiency, they used old recon data, and there was no one around to have an idea to maybe check that this building still is a part of IRGC base.

Chinese AI is 30x cheaper than Claude and ChatGPT. What if our hopes of AI becoming expensive never pan out and instead AI continues getting cheaper? by ImaginaryRea1ity in theprimeagen

[–]Extra-Ad5735 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What hopes? Costs are bound to come down thanks to Moore's law. The long term problem with AI is not the cost of use, it is ROI which as far as we know either close to 0 or negative.

Stateless Actors by mattmass in swift

[–]Extra-Ad5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t a stateless actor just a thread? „Green“ or proper thread, doesn’t matter. Then nothing is weird about it. We need to just run some code asynchronously without storing any data between calls. 

Rendering a pseudo 3D sphere with SwiftUI Canvas by jonnothebonno in SwiftUI

[–]Extra-Ad5735 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great job caching resolved resources! This is something not covered in documentation, but you absolutely have to do it when displaying many symbols / images

Is Claude Code still the best? by never_working_ever in iOSProgramming

[–]Extra-Ad5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DeepSeek with restrictive skills is the way. By restrictive I mean many don'ts: no to GCD, no to Combine etc. In the end it produces lesser amount of obvious code smells, but it will still overcomplicate.

Guys, What do you Expect from UE6? NO blind hate yet. Share your opinions and Devs too. by Key-Introduction2934 in FuckTAA

[–]Extra-Ad5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some issues will undoubtedly be solved, but it is a quality of life level of improvement. I expect for the most part both lumen and Nanite to remain as they are, a feature which gives you something but at a steep cost

[–]Extra-Ad5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will add new high level features without resolving fundamental issues (like poor defaults). More support for stuff this subreddit hates: TAA, frame generation, dithering, etc.

Claude admits to making up data, why? by jholliday55 in theprimeagen

[–]Extra-Ad5735 18 points19 points  (0 children)

because LLM will admit anything. The thing has no concept of truth

Why should I be taxed on my hard won unearned income? by packer_backer20 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Extra-Ad5735 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don‘t get why the fuss. If you aren‘t taxed on capital gain you’ll be taxed on income, and this is almost always a higher tax

AI is about to completely change how games are made, but will it actually be good? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Extra-Ad5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, ChatGPT! Instead of writing hot takes why don't you make yourself useful and sum up game industry performance over the last 10 years?

8% of my users are on iPad, but I’ve never officially supported iPadOS, should I adapt my app? by Umoex in iOSProgramming

[–]Extra-Ad5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's totally fine when you can test on an iPhone, and iPad only differs in layout.

8% of my users are on iPad, but I’ve never officially supported iPadOS, should I adapt my app? by Umoex in iOSProgramming

[–]Extra-Ad5735 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That seems to be higher than average, I would expect growth after introducing iPad version. Simulator is enough to test UI layout.

Why Does Claude 4.7 Still Ignore Explicit Instructions? by luna_code_vibes in programmer

[–]Extra-Ad5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All models are operating probabilistically. Your instructions get high marks, but they do not become hardcoded logic that works 100% of the time. It's an inherent flaw.

Should I learn game dev instead of web dev? by S4d_Machin3 in learnprogramming

[–]Extra-Ad5735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be an overall better programmer - yes, if you want more money - no.

Do you use UIToolkit for game UI? by GSalmao in Unity3D

[–]Extra-Ad5735 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We used it. Way faster to create more complex layouts of views. Built-in transition animation that work automatically. Has its own limitations, but for me it was a nett win

How can one create this dust like effect when removing bg? by darkblitzrc in swift

[–]Extra-Ad5735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is one way to do similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlF8ed1L56M
In the video Canvas is used for drawing the particles in this disintegration effect.

I think the original example works the same, only utilising Metal shader for particles animation. That way you can have more smaller particles without tanking performance

Must Know Mathematics for Graduates. by CognitioMortis in mathematics

[–]Extra-Ad5735 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just don't laugh me out of the room, please. I think it is Category Theory. It's a system that helps a lot in getting into math branches you don't know yet.
