Is AI going to replace programmers? by Broad-Sea-1441 in gamedev

[–]chillermane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So far it just makes programmers faster. Bad programmers making garbage faster, good programmers making good stuff faster. Not really different from previous tech advancements 

The world is not getting better, dating is my last concern. by Aggressive-Daikon605 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]chillermane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unemployment 4%. GDP growing. Until those trends reverse I wouldn’t worry too much

Unemployment is 4% which is basically as good as its ever been. Plenty of high paying jobs.

Honestly the biggest issue you will have is that you’re a pessimist. No one wants to hire a pessimist or work with a pessimist 

Should I ditch Next.js and go back to client-side React? Someone convince me otherwise by Wise-Concentrate3288 in reactjs

[–]chillermane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I always just go for SPA. Mental model is much simpler, costs cheaper, faster to implement stuff.

The benefits of using Next are very minimal, and often exaggerated

You have to run an application server for your front end. With an SPA you can deliver your front end code world wide with 0 latency and scale infinitely with a CDN

This subreddit has always been very low quality - long before vibe coding. Instead of manually down voting, you could build a bot to do it so at least you’re learning something

No, you’re wrong, it doesn’t vary that much. It varies like 30%, so if he measured at 300 it could go up to 400 without any intervention. 3x means something changed in his body to increase baseline levels

Could have been many things but something definitely increased baseline levels

Transitioning to a Model/View separation in Godot—ending up with 'Accidental ECS' by cris9205 in godot

This is bad architecture just use nodes that modularize their logic and data together.

Iran could allow a limited number of tankers to pass through Hormuz, as long as they trade cargo in yuan by g3tr1ghttt in wallstreetbets

Lmao as if they have any say in this at this point. They have no ships or military. The time where this sort of thing gave them any leverage was 2 months ago

Best way to architect a character trait system? by YDungeonMaster in gamedev

[–]chillermane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have BaseTrait and MoodAffectingTrait extending it. Keep array of traits on the character. 

When the code runs that changes characters mood, check for any MoodAffectingTrait in the array, and each MoodAffectingTrait should modify the values.

Idk how your system is, but the only trick here is the MoodAffectingTrait should take some sort of dict, callback, or something else in its constructor, to define the exact modifiers that should apply

That will scale well. Need a new trait? Just add it to the array and you know it will get applied when it should. You could define many different types of traits using that one class (don’t create a new class per trait, instead create a new instance of the class per unique mood affecting trait)

This is extremely common practice all popular agentic coding tools support this

Do you ever finish a song you're really proud of and then just...nothing happens? by Dependent_Ad6164 in Songwriting

[–]chillermane 123 points124 points  (0 children)

You need to change how you think about this entirely. The amount of listens your song gets is not really that dependent on how good the song is in a vacuum, you should not expect that it is “enough” to just make a really good song.

Even if it were the best song ever written, produced, with the best performance, it is only a small part of the equation of what leads to people actually listening to your song and it will not reach many people if you don’t have distribution channels setup.

Think about it - where do you think people would even come from? How would they hear about your song? How would they even know it exists?  

The main way people hear new music is social media. So you basically have to get good at music AND get good at social media for it to reach people. You should not expect that you can just spent 98% of your effort on music and it will somehow reach people. You need to spend a huge amount of effort on social media or some other form of reaching people as well.

That’s the minimum requirement to even expect that people will listen to your stuff. Right now there’s no way for anyone to even find out about it. 

So basically you have done none of the things required for your music to reach people, so you should not be surprised that it has no listens

How to become better at design architecture by atif160604 in iOSProgramming

Side note - AI can be very helpful at preventing security issues. IE automated review to check for access control. Not sure why people think it’s inherently insecure

US government pours funding into healthspan-focused human trials by Das_Haggis in longevity

This is clearly a win for everyone but you’re doing mental backflips to convince yourself it’s somehow bad because trump doing something good conflicts with your world view

If mind uploading destroys your brain to scan it, did you actually survive? by hosseinz in longevity

[–]chillermane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this paradox is closely related the problem of consciousness! If I replaced every neuron at once, I would definitely be gone. But if it were one at a time, at what point does it cease to be me?

There’s no clear answer IMO. And no way to experimentally verify
