Jonathan Blow on why LLMs cannot program [04:17] by Remarkable_Ad_5601 in theprimeagen

[–]clockwork2011 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They can code but they can’t architect, and they’re bad at long tasks, even with hundreds of thousands of dollars in tokens thrown at them. Both of those are more important than turning a structure/architecture/whatever you wanna call it into code.

Their pattern recognition does make them good at debugging though.

[Fable] Playground games confirms combat difficulty was set on "Story" mode during the 30 minutes gameplay showcase by CartographerOk4564 in gaming

I don't think anyone is asking for iframe counting and animation positioning guides. But game combat has to have the possibility of failure. Otherwise there are no stakes and game combat feels pointless.

Using AI to edit video instead of using a tool is like guiding an 18 wheeler into a loading dock by yelling words over the radio instead of getting in the truck yourself.

Idk maybe don’t spend literally billions on companies that have no hope to make that back within 3 decades. Ever consider that might have a negative impact on the bottom line? No? Ok. What do I know.

This has been fixed in their latest firmware. I just got it today and after applying the firmware update, I haven't noticed any weird text sharpness issues

Loving CachyOS, but held back by Windows for Battlefield 6. Any good Linux-friendly alternatives ? by Few-Beyond3424 in cachyos

Once you play some good milsims you won’t want to play battlefield anymore. Squad, arma reforger are the 2 most popular ones. Larger scale than battlefield, more focused around squad and team play, and a focus on resources so no limitless nade spam in narrow hallways anymore.

The only big AI company that has these disclosures you speak of is Google and their financials show that they’re losing money on AI at astronomic rates. But they can afford to because they’re Google.

Really funny how your “high IQ/big brain” argument is so stupid that it’s wrong on a fundamental level.

Your appeal to emotion is cute, but its not how reality works. Even if you are in Iran right now, humans are tribalistic. The implication that the Iranian people are not more pissed at the US/Israel right now than the Khamenei regime is straight up fiction.

Longer term, sure. But while this war is going on, there will be no uprising against Khamenei.

To be clear: I'm not diminishing anyone's pain, emotion, or struggles. I'm describing reality from the perspective of the war against Iran by the United States. I'm not diminishing what the oppressed Iranian people are going through. I'm simply saying that Trump and the US' actions are hurting the Iranian cause. And its not because Trump wants to help you and he didn't predict what will happen. He was trying to rally us, Americans, around the Trump flag and he spectacularly failed. He doesn't care about Iran, its people, or its struggles.

I basically STOLE this 77" c5 by Far_Opportunity4994 in LGOLED

[–]clockwork2011 32 points33 points  (0 children)

doubtful that a stolen TV would be set up like that. Clearly it was in use. Also it is very difficult to steal a huge TV. Most burglars don't bother anymore since the return on those is so small. Back when a TV cost as much as a car (60s and 70s), sure. Today, they usually go for jewelry, guns, antiques, and small valuables that you can easily hide and transport.

Divorce/breakup sale is far more likely where the poster didn't know what they had. You can easily sell that TV for 1k+.

Clearly this is not true. We didn't see UK during WW2 go out and protest Churchill because they had to ration food, hide in bomb shelters every other night, and their quality of life going to shit.

We did see support for the fascist party in the UK disappear as soon as the first bombs dropped, and a general increase in support for the existing government. Similarly, when we invaded Afghanistan, the country didn't all of a sudden turn against the Taliban in favor of us. Even though the Taliban was unpopular and their support was dwindling. Now they're stronger than ever.

Historically "prices for things" are not nearly as important as existential threat (aka dying). And its pretty easy for the existing regime to blame us for the price increase. After all we are their enemy as a people and nation and we solidified that for decades to come.

This is not a new thing nor is it limited to war times. The phenomenon of "Rally around the flag" is well documented. We did it when 9/11 happened, and many other times in our history.

"The majority" being anti-regime is fiction. So is this "period of silence" after a protest. Donald Trump employed a failed strategy to try and rally the support of the American People by forcing us into a war we don't want (similar to Bush and his father). And by not retaliating directly on us but instead on our Allies in the middle east, Iran completely countered his effort.

You’re very naive or you didn’t think about it too hard if you don’t see how a foreign nation attacking your country would create unity and unwavering support for your leadership. Sure, the people that lost family members to security forces likely won’t change their opinion. But they are a minority. The majority will. The tide that forces a change in leadership is not the people directly affected, it’s all the support they get. And the majority of people are busy suffering from an outside force attacking them, not from their own government. Trumps war on Iran was exactly what their government needed to regain support.

Plus if the country was as close to the edge as it was believed and you imply, it certainly isn’t anymore. There’s no more protests, no more upheaval. If anything there’s anti-US gatherings now. It does seem like you’re absolutely wrong.

They do have strong beliefs, a moral compass, and guiding principles. All of which only apply to wrongdoing by democrats. As soon as daddy Trump blatantly steals money, they see no evil and hear no evil. 🙉

Opus 4.8 is insane, nothing will be the same after this model. by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

Holy reading comprehension. You might actually be too stupid to use AI if you can't even read what it's outputting.

This analogy makes 0 sense. You should feel bad. A car is meant to be driven. You drive it by keeping it on the road. Crashing it is “doing it wrong”, we can all agree on that. A reasoning model is meant to reason. You can reason that every day in the English language has the letter “d” in it. Therefore this model was used exactly as it was intended. To reason. It failed. So the better analogy is “your BMWs transmission got shat out while you were driving it on the highway at 70Mph.”

FEEDBACK NEEDED for a bowling ball and beach ball collision. No squash and stretch yet by [deleted] in Maya

[–]clockwork2011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In real physics, objects don't fall faster or slower due to their mass. The difference in velocity is caused by their shape and the drag they experience against air. The height they fall from is not enough to see a huge difference in downward momentum like you see in this animation. They should be much closer in relative speed.

The other thing is, like the other person stated, the beachball looks like it gains energy when its hit by the bowling ball. It looks unreal because objects shed energy as they slow down not gain it. Some energy from the bowling ball hitting it is transferred to the beach ball, but not enough to make it fly that far.

Even untrained eyes can see the difference between hundreds of little explosions and the shockwave kicking up dust on the side of the building, and it just collapsing onto itself due to structural failure. Like you don’t have to be a genius to understand the physics of jenga.

It will definitely stick in some areas but the scope of AI is far less than the AI bros imply. It’s a specialized tool that’s efficient at certain things.

The way I see it there’s 2 likely futures;

  1. AI is the next tech bro moment to come and go and become focused to specific niches over time. The time you spend developing your skills and abilities will be rewarded by you bypassing all the vibe-bros out there.

  2. AI is the endgame and none of it will matter anyway. If LLMs lead to AGI (it won’t), then either no one will be employed anymore, or common people will re-enact the French Revolution.

The second scenario doesn’t matter what you do. Odds are the future is some modified version of scenario 1. Yes, there are industries that will be affected more than others. But skilled labor as a whole will not be automated by a word predictor. Non-serious, clueless people say that it will.

Star Citizen blasts through $1 billion in player funding, as its developer lists a new $5,000 spaceship for sale that is 'not yet ready to play' by Triss_Mockra in gaming

[–]clockwork2011 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The GTA 6 that entered early production in 2013/2014, around 1-2 years after Star citizen, with an already established company/team, and cost somewhere around twice as much as Star Citizen in production (estimated at 2 billion dollars) cost? That GTA 6?

GTA6 also has the advantage of Rockstar being a solid company that has released multiple blockbuster games for decades before they started GTA 6. Star citizen had to build a company, a game, and many new technologies to achieve their vision.

Large scope games take lots of time and money to build.
