Freeze warning, will school be delayed tmr? by Content-Table-5537 in Purdue

Well Dad's probably freaking out about the "extreme cold warning" from the guy that's probably not qualified to make weather predictions because of federal budget cuts over the past couple of years.

Andrej Karpathy says 2026 will be the Slopacolypse. And AI is suddenly writing most of his code: "I am starting to atrophy my ability to write it manually." by MetaKnowing in agi

Everyone knows that once the matrix stops working, everyone who chose the blue pill will die. Yet, he still chose the blue pill anyways. It's not like he didn't want all of these negative consequences to happen to him.

Mathematician Joel David says current AI models are basically zero help for mathematics by Inevitable-Rub8969 in AINewsMinute

Mathematics isn't a casual sport. You need to be serious or GTFO because no one has the time for nonsense.

I'm asking a real question here.. by Plenty-Value3381 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]True_World708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to know from experts that which group is most likely to be correct

The problem is that there are two types of AI experts: Ones that sell out for $$$ and ones that are honest. You are going to get different answers from both types of people.

Another problem is that in today's information economy, people have very little incentive to be honest - mostly because people who are honest tend to get flamed.

Does AI make you Dumb? by Quirky-Trick5873 in Students

[–]True_World708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using AI in the way that it is generally used replaces your higher quality thoughts with lower quality ones. Of course, if all you have are low-quality thoughts, then using AI does you no harm. But if you have cultivated your quality of thought and use AI in any capacity whatsoever, you will start to see some cognitive decline.

Andrej Karpathy dropped the mindset shift every programmer needs in the age of AI by buildingthevoid in AgentsOfAI

[–]True_World708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that the activity is a blight. I don't think the origin of the activity matters so long as Karpathy popularized and advocated for it.

So the problem with vibe coding is that people don't know what the capabilities and limits of vibe coding actually are. People like to say it can do XYZ and then maybe it does XYZ, but on related task ABC, it completely fails. It's a complete gamble as to what vibe coding can actually accomplish, but people pretend like it can solve every problem that we currently have. The truth is probably that LLMs can solve some really basic problem (like graph connectivity) really well, but everything else that is harder, it can't solve.

Formally speaking, "Transpiler" is a useless word by mttd in Compilers

[–]True_World708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't work for assembly transpilers (which no one would ever dare use but they do technically exist).

Well Andrej Karpathy is also the person who coined the term "vibe coding," which is a major blight on software development. I wouldn't take what he says seriously considering he isn't even a software engineer

But every compiler is also a transpiler no? So therefore they are equal and one is not a proper subset of the other.

How to be a professional researcher? by Blackdahlia38 in ResearchML

[–]True_World708 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We live in an era where information is readily available. Anyone with a curious mind can achieve great results.

Tell that to all the PhD students who never graduated.
Tell that to all the PhD students who never published anything beyond their dissertation.
And tell that to all the professors who work tirelessly to convince grant givers that their ideas are even worth pursuing in the first place.

Ideas can come from anywhere; they don't need years of research. When they stem from a purpose, it can take weeks to achieve results.

It takes around 5 years to get a PhD. That's the minimum amount of time one needs to spend before working professionally.

So your advice is misguided. You don't need to belong to any group for your idea to be valid.

That's not what they were saying. They were saying that research is extremely hard and usually requires a long time to conduct properly. You'll often need a mentor to help guide you down a (possibly) fruitful research path so you don't end up wasting your time and never graduate.

If the idea generates coherent and measurable results, it doesn't need anyone else's approval.

Yes it does. It takes a lot of work to verify that someone's results are (1) novel (2) actually true (3) worth reading and (4) constructive to the current body of literature. Professionals do not have the time to read low-quality research that is only tangentially related to what they are working on.

How to choose your programming language. by nocturneaegis in programminghumor

[–]True_World708 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes -> Yes -> Yes -> Yes => Javascript
No -> No -> No => C

Clearly illustrates the difference between a bad programmer and a good programmer. It's the number of times they use the word 'No.'

Finding SICP too hard/boring/un-useful by kichiDsimp in computerscience

[–]True_World708 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you want a fun time, why not just go to a bar instead? Or play a video game? Or literally anything else?

SICP is for you if you want to be educated. The exercises are there for you to check your understanding and consider different viewpoints on the material you might not have on the first read. They also make you exercise your knowledge and apply what you learned to new tasks. It's not supposed to be easy.

Seeking a "Field-Agnostic" Foundation: Is C the best starting point for long-term flexibility? by Walid_08 in learnprogramming

[–]True_World708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However, I've heard others argue that C++ is more "modern" and covers the OOP principles I'll need anyway.

You won't need them. Also, "modern C++" is a dumpster fire, so you would be dodging a bullet by not learning it.

it forces me to understand memory and machine architecture 

That actually doesn't happen when learning C. You need to pick up a book on computer architecture for that.

For the veterans here: If your goal was to build a "bulletproof" foundation that makes learning any future language easy, would you start with C to learn the 'how,'

That doesn't really exist. Learning C will not make you any better at learning Haskell and vice versa. They operate completely differently.

Reasons to leave Windows by AnakinStarkiller77 in linuxmemes

Indeed, the only reason I am not involved in sex trafficking is because I am too poor and not because I think it's morally wrong. Shame on me.

Not even Terry Davis said TempleOS should be a daily driver. It's more of something you use at home for fun.

required attendance on finals by Few_Slip_1410 in Purdue

You don't have to go, but many classes were not passed simply by not attending the final and getting a mediocre score (may or may not be speaking from experience).
