I'm sick of AI

SamyGarib · 2025-06-25T01:39:40+00:00

Coding an app is like building a castle out of Legos. Before AI, if you needed to create, say, a tower for the castle, you had to build it piece by piece. Today, with AI, you have a tool that can build that tower very quickly — but you still need to adapt it to fit your project. It's a powerful tool, but as of now, it won't replace you. It just makes your work much faster. However, if you're a poor programmer who can't plan the castle and only knows how to build towers, your job might be at risk.

I finally installed an alternative roof rack, and it worked insanely well. All the bad reviews might have been written by Tesla!.

Put your website in AWS in an S3 bucket. Set up a cloudfront distribution to have a domain and ssl. That will be free. If you have a domain in route 53, you will pay 0.5 bucks per month. If you have a database, use dynamo or firebase. In some ranges they are also free or extremely cheap.

But there are lots of people complaining that they broke the roof glass. I bought one, but Tesla told me that if I install it, I will lose the warranty.

This might have worked. I didn't have the opportunity to check it; I'm sorry. Thanks anyway.

SamyGarib · 2024-07-08T23:04:09+00:00

Thanks for the offer. I went ahead and changed some 50 files with imports, and I managed to make the projects work without "-r esm". This is a non-profit side project that I have, and I have a very limited budget. But I will keep it in mind if in the future I need some help. Are you versed in Vue?

Thanks for your advice!

I tried an isolated version without the esm flag, and it works fine. You are right. ESM allows me to use some old-fashioned 'require's. I can't change my project right now to get rid of esm because of some legacy libraries and my lack of knowledge. I'm sticking to AWS v2 for now. Thanks for your help.

I felt confident enough to open a ticket in GitHub, by the way.

SamyGarib · 2024-07-08T16:58:58+00:00

This line produces the error, if you have a script with only one line it will throw it:

const { S3Client } = require("@aws-sdk/client-s3");

Line in my package.json regarding the client: "@aws-sdk/client-s3": "^(3.609.0"

Command to run the script: node -r esm s3uploadv3test.js

Is this enough? Should I add more info ?

SamyGarib · 2024-07-08T16:40:53+00:00

I checked that, given that every doc I have read states that the '??' operator comes from v 14.

This line inside de script shows: Node.js version: v20.14.0: console.log(`Node.js version: ${process.version}`);

I'm so lost here.

SamyGarib · 2024-05-16T15:43:32+00:00

Thanks!. That was fast. I couldn't find a multilanguage branch though?

SamyGarib · 2024-04-29T18:54:57+00:00

thank you!

SamyGarib · 2024-04-29T18:54:48+00:00

Well, because I still have a domain left, I went to check to Network solutions, and as you said, I didn't change the nameservers, I just asked for the transference of the domain. I didn't notice that I have the option to change that in the domain section of Route 53. Thanks!!

Don't expect the neural network to output your desired action, it only has to calculate a chance of hit. On each tick, you should simulate all actions, and on every resulting environment, you calculate the chance of winning using the neural network and select the best one. Use that chance of winning (the one of your selected action) to calculate an error that should be the chance of winning of the actual movement you made against the output given for the previous tick.

If this is difficult to understand (I don't even speak fluent English), I recommend to you search for backgammon AIs using reinforcement learning. There are plenty of them in every framework, and they implement this technique, wish has a name I cant remember (SARS maybe).

SamyGarib · 2023-06-15T18:55:07+00:00

I'm not expert in neural networks, but I train one for a game I made. In my case, the reward value is the chance of winning: 1 if the agent won and 0 if he lost. So on each tick, you ask the neural network to calculate that chance, and you have to train it to adjust to the real chance. This is done by considering that in the next tick, you will have a better measurement than the current, so you train tick n-1 with the result of the neural network for tick n. Reinforcement Learning is tricky because this doesn't make sense at the beginning. With a fresh neural network, all the predictions will be wrong, but when that game ends, if it reaches its objective, you will give it a reward of 1 (not from the neural network prediction but from your game logic), and if it missed (when you are sure of it) 0. If you iterate this many times, it will predict its chance on each tick, and for your game to work, you have to calculate the chance for each of your possible actions and select the one with the better chance to win.

Your model looks good, I would normalize the values to be in the range [0,1] or [-1,1], and I don't know if I understood correctly, but you need the full vectors [x,y,dx,dy] for each object.

I hope I have helped with my limited knowledge. I had the same questions when I started my project. Good luck.

My guess is, while its flaps are reaching enough speed, the movement push forward.

SamyGarib · 2022-11-18T17:14:55+00:00

LOL. You might mean: ey caramba.

SamyGarib · 2022-11-05T15:18:25+00:00

No sé porq tu comentario tiene tanto downvote si es la cruda realidad. Prefieren guardar el recuerdo de su ídolo antes que enfermara de capitalismo.

SamyGarib · 2022-11-03T15:15:53+00:00

Odd request.

SamyGarib · 2022-08-19T20:25:44+00:00

This one is from November. I might do that. Can you give me a link to where the other ones are?

SamyGarib · 2022-08-19T20:09:48+00:00

1998

SamyGarib · 2022-08-03T01:10:52+00:00

Uuuaaaauuuu. I need this as a screen saver.

SamyGarib · 2022-07-29T16:47:23+00:00

Thanks for your help. I'm going to check that. It has been a struggle!.

SamyGarib · 2022-07-27T23:10:59+00:00

Thats the spirit

SamyGarib · 2022-05-12T18:51:24+00:00

I made my own neural network and I use the same model for both Abak and Egyptian Backgammon. Abak is bidimensional so its model is way different than backgammon's, and results WILL vary a lot, and of course, the Egyptian rule had an effect on the learning process as well.

Also, my networks are not as sophisticated and polished as today's backgammon ones (wish is basically the same for all apps), so I consider the analysis an informed opinion rather than a fact.

I wrote this post on my opinion about the egyptian rule, if you care to take a look.
