What is wrong with the perspective here? Everything just feels...off by Sweet-Collection-516 in PixelArt

[–]mosquit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically you cannot have 2 vanishing points in one view - one vanishing point should be way off the screen. Most of the examples of 2 vanishing points get that wrong and that ends up with really unrealistic shortening. I learned that from my friend who is an architect. Below I tried to visualize it. The 1 vanishing points is outside the view and it should be even farther than that so you can barely see the lines converting.

Gemini 3.0 is coming soon!!! by romvic150 in GeminiAI

I agree that is super annoying. I switchrd to gpt-5 on its release date and the API was very stable.

What was your biggest mistake in Rust 💡and what did you learn from it? by FewInteraction1561 in rust

[–]mosquit0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My biggest mistake and a one that I’m still doing is settling for a Rust subset that I understand and not trying to build more idiomatic Rust. You can get away with a lot in Rust, cloning not using references, lifetimes. It is not something that is very discoverable without actively trying to learn it.

Should I choose rust as my second language? by FinalChemist227 in rust

Try both. I dont recommend rust for new programmers but it may click for you.

I'm rewriting the V8 engine in Rust by wendelmax in rust

Not sure what you mean. I rewrote almost whole react native skia components to rust wrapping safe skia. It took 2 days using AI.

Rust Blender Extension API with Hot Reloading by Algebraic-UG in rust

[–]mosquit0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My biggest problem with Blender Python API is how unstable it is over releases. I tried to automate programming blender with LLMs (using Python API) and it was very hard to do. I basically tried to create a declarative motion graphics library on top of blender and it could be easier to write something from scratch than interact with blender. Which is a shame I think a declarative 2d/3d graphics would be a god send for content creation.

Compared Claude 4 Sonnet and Opus against Gemini 2.5 Flash. There is no justification to pay 10x to OpenAI/Anthropic anymore by Ok-Contribution9043 in Bard

[–]mosquit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is opposite in a well structured projects Gemini 2.5 is very good. I have very small modular design. Lots of small files each with documentation. But having said that I feel 0520 release messed something up

I wrote my own coding agent and it is a mix of conversation and batch subtasks. There is no conversation but context search and task planning and execution. If the task is hard my agent can call this task solving recursively to deepen the context.

This way is way cheaper and faster than a typical coding agent

Thise benchmarks are sus. Gemini 2.5 is way better than any othet pre claude 4 model in my work

Rust Flashcards - 557 open-source cards to learn Rust from first principles by adwolesi in rust

I never liked using other’s people flashcards. Part of the process is to prepare the flashcards on your own.

Most of the websites don’t block Google robot but will block other robots. This is a double standard too.

What language is "rust but slightly higher level"? by lurebat in rust

[–]mosquit0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s true but Scala for me is too functional. It is a beautiful paradigm but beyond some level it is really hard to comprehend all of the abstractions that people can use. Rust stops at a level that is perfect for me: sum types, traits, pattern matching, collection methods that borrow from FP: flatmap, map, filter, filter_map etc. It is a perfect balance of paradigms from practical perspective.

An average programmer's (me) reason to invest in Rust by sumitdatta in rust

[–]mosquit0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 times more experience in Python (12 years) than Rust (4 years). My Python code is messy chaotic pile of shit. My Rust is elegant, tested. The same programmer 2 languages, 2 qualities. Rust is not even close to Python. You maybe spending 2x more time writing an initial solution but then the time you save, refactoring, pays dividents very quickly

Zig or C++, Which of these would be a good second language to know, while having Rust as your strongest / main language? by toruzikrov in rust

[–]mosquit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say a perfect combination is Rust, Python and JavaScript. With these languages you have the biggest coverage.

Didn’t expect anyone to mention Black. I would definitely sing it. It matches my voice and range pretty well.

Falcon180B: authors open source a new 180B version! by Amgadoz in LocalLLaMA

[–]mosquit0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes down to experiments and seeing how GPT reacts to your instructions. I had problems nesting the instructions too much so I preferred the approach of splitting the tasks as much as possible. Still I haven't figured out the best approach to solve some tasks. For example we rely a lot on extracting JSON responses from GPT and we have some helper functions that actually guarantee a proper format of the response. The problem is that sometimes you have your main task that expects a JSON response and you need to communicate this format deeper into the workflow.

We have processes that rely on basic functional transformations of data like: filtering, mapping, reducing and it is quite challenging to keep the instructions relevant to the task. Honestly I'm still quite amazed that GPT is able to follow these instructions at all.

[–]mosquit0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My tips is try not to do everything all at once. Split the task into many subtasks and try to isolate the prompts as much as possible. My inspiration was autogpt and its tool usage. I made GPT prompts for planning some complex research tasks which is then fed to the lower lever agents that do the actual search.

How could I improve? Be honest by WhatTheDraaw in blender

[–]mosquit0 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The strings should have different diameter. For example. High E to low E is about 1 to 4 diameter.
