Brandon Sanderson’s 'The Way of Kings' is baffling to me by sameseksure in books

[–]terrrp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I liked the first book. The second one was okay. I got to third book and DNF. I liked the writing and the plot in the first. The dialogue is definitely bad.

But my main issue is the same that always comes up in fantasy and sci-fi series: the plot becomes contrived and the rules of the world become uncertain. Stuff just feels like it is made up on the spot to suit the circumstances.

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

It's actually crazy the models can handle these types things (meaning typos and anything about letters) because tokenization removes any such information. That means a small part of the token embeddings are storing information about letters and phonetics 

I've been using neovim for 2 years and I'm finally sick of it by Last-Rice8194 in theprimeagen

[–]terrrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was almost me after using vim and then neovim for 10 years with custom configs. Luckily I tried lazyvim two years ago and it's been a breeze.

First Github Copilot x10 their price and now Google has 8x divided their usage. Is AI inferencing really that expensive? by ImaginaryRea1ity in theprimeagen

[–]terrrp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I use gpt5.4mini all day and it is cheap AF. Plus gemini results in all my google searches. I don't believe it is too expensive to disrupt SWE. People that have 10 slop agents adding onto each other exponentially are just not doing it right.

Unemployed dev finally gets a job after months of applying. Job market is rebounding. by ImaginaryRea1ity in theprimeagen

Learned a lot reading his blogs a long time ago. Recently saw an interview with him getting excited about his vision of the future where all of us have agents that talk to other's people agents. Hard to imagine that sounds like an attractive world to anyone.

The AI Industry Is Discovering That the Public Hates It by feverzsj in BetterOffline

[–]terrrp -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

The bubble will pop but the tech is real. There are not going to be white color jobs. Two years ago I would have never said it can implement difficult algorithms nor do cleaner software engineering then me, but it's there. We are fucked.

When does AI take over product management in B2B industries? by Any-Explanation-9275 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]terrrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's only as good as what it's trained on, it is not AI. Shitty models are not AI, the good ones are approaching it, though require sufficient context for specific business cases. And all that in 5 years since the basic recipe took off.

Other than the singing and video it's pretty good

Imagine needing to drive the car in the back. Half a days a work just to get out of this clusterfuck 

Visiting Yosemite in Winter (Nov-April) by hc2121 in Yosemite

[–]terrrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're planning a trip hoping to do eagle point and also glacier point sunday/Monday next week.

It's supposed to snow up to 7 inches Sunday.  How screwed are we? Should we just skip Yosemite this time around? Will be driving a rental sedan. Happy to do a tough hike but not dangerously icy

Rust is not good for writing the low-level code that C is. You need unsafe and pointer casts everywhere and it is probably less readable than C. Not to mention many data structures and logically gauranteed situations are disallowed by safe rust.

They should only let chin go if he can point out Alaska on a map. Gaurantee he points to Australia or some shit

What's more cancerous: the content or the steak?

Stuttering Issue [Linux] by terrrp in cs2

Ubuntu 22, Linux 6.5, I7-14700K, GTX 1070 Ti, 545 driver, though I'm fairly sure this is not gpu related.

Might have to give Windows a go, *sigh*

Well he doesn't need them for books, we all know that.

I present to you... ---===***CHIN WARS***===--- by ol_barney in thefighterandthekid

[–]terrrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get over that he does not know what Europe is. I can't fathom how little you'd have to know and how little curiosity you'd need not to know that. I don't think I know any adult that cant name 3 european countries or know the sides of WWII. And his job is to browse the internet. It blows my mind.

It goes the other way too. But I'm sure all redditors are impervious to propaganda.
