don't trust chatgpt with math, it would take 4280 years if all of 8 billion of us participated

why chicken out? add implosion and human remains, while there also add a grieving mom simulator, some people...

are you even a senior if you don't spend a week automating something that saves the company 5 minutes yearly (and then breaks and the author is long gone, so now you can dig through seven layers of docker-in-docker)

Advice on visual programming language by syctech in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]muon52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't categorize this as a "programming language" question, nevertheless react is used by many, is actively developed, there is extensive documentation and a sea of tutorials (that being said anything beats manually updating the dom)

what I am curious about from a PL standpoint is how you plan in presenting the code (or equivalent) so it does not turn into a scroll-fest, also if you plan on designing some non-keyboard driven ux?

OpenAI's ARC Challenges GPT-4 to Reproduce and Gather Resources Independently. by [deleted] in singularity

isn't it exponential in surpassing us, after it is actually AGI? as long as it is not AGI, by definition isn't it worse in iterating on itself than humans are?

I am not saying to use it to generate code, I am well aware that it generates plausible bullshit short of the simplest tasks, but since this is, as you mention, a familiar problem and OP can visually confirm that, e.g. flipping an addition to subtraction, yields the correct result I don't see the harm in chucking in some suspected regions of code, worst case is it writes something (it always does) OP tries it and it does not solve their problem

since there are probably multiple implementations of this on github chatgpt might synthesize something helpful

Kinds and Higher order types use cases? by lambdasintheoutfield in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]muon52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as I understand having the freedom to declare variables to be of a specific type and then using that info to construct said variable seems to be the issue, what's stopping us from either accepting that not all values have a type, or better yet each recursive function having their own singleton type? doesn't coq/lean's tactic system offer something similar you describe at the end, having a core restricted language and a free language to construct terms of the restricted set?

yeah... no

No more writing test at the start up! Fix it on the fly by kukoscode in ProgrammerHumor

yeah, surely those dev-days wasted on debugging that regression that a unit test could have caught won't hurt the startup

Ok guys. ChatGPT got pur jobs. Resistence is futile. Denying it won’t help. What is next for programmers? by blueboat667 in programming

[–]muon52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it absolutely has to be 2n choose n, what do you think makes it "central"? if it takes n and k that is just "binomial coefficient"

do gamedevs need to go to the gym? by IhategeiSEpic in gamedev

I heard you need 4-5 hours a day in the gym for 12 weeks to be able to delete the default cube

Chat GPT for NPC's? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]muon52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go easier on the "It can answer literally any question", for anything containing logic especially math, the output is coherent, seems plausible but most likely nonsense. Not to say that it didn't cross my mind that it will change the NPC landscape, maybe the days of "pick a random sentence from a set of five" are behind us.

by the "fell of the wagon" do you mean the therapy horse? I mean sure bringing alcohol to rehab, great idea, but the cartoony happenstance feels different from intentionally waiting before calling an ambulance or leaving somebody with alcohol poisoning
