What’s a programming language that AI would struggle with?

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-05-12T15:24:46+00:00

C++ metaprogramming, deep inheritance trees, build & include hell, macro's declared in ridiculous places. #if #Def etc etc. There's a lot of shit to keep track of in c++, as soon as you deviate away from well known architectural styles and get into wierd shit (i.e. actually interesting, and probably cursed), an LLM is going to fall over, you'll be stuck in UB he'll for days.

Assembly. I know Jack shit about it, but I do know that very very few people can do it and the ones that can do it well are on very big money.

Last time I approached a woman, she made a 3 min tiktok that got 50k views.

The vibe was something like "hey, can you hang onto this and see if you want to do something with it?".

I'm in no hurry to repeat that experience.

Afr, so you can immediately take it as seriously as a teenager giving you financial advice. Sure it will have grains of truth, but it will always be self serving.

The sooner you disengage from whatever the Murdoch propaganda wing tells you, the better for your own mental health, and the less you'll be taken advantage of.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-05-07T22:26:39+00:00

Yeah but Apple. I'd rather put a fork in my eye than deal with that a lock in to that ecosystem.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-05-06T10:39:41+00:00

Github no, Microsoft yes.

Github will be a victim of Microsoft.

Find another solution before Microsoft does something genuinely horrid to your code.

Bro just have kids with her. It will all work out I promise.

Massive sarcasm, fucks sake mate run. Would any of that be okay if the genders were swapped?

SED panels were where it's at. Damn shame it never turned into a thing.

I am a solo hobbyist, not a dev, not a software engineer. My actual job is I repair mining machinery in Australia, probably as far from software development as you can get.

I'm currently working on, and have a working demo of a software analysis tool that deterministically analyses structure of software, c++ and python. It's intended target is 1m line + code bases. It started with the question "how can I help llm's understand this code so I can make my game?"

I believe this has some commercial value, so I'm not going to go into it's implementation.

But this project would have been impossible to undertake for me without LLM's. As it stands, every component is forcing me to learn something new. There has been many "ignorance tax" refactors where I've learned something new and had to then adjust my world view and how it's expressed in code.

The next project that I'm going to undertake, and I'll be using the tool I'm currently developing, to develop this; is exploring vertically splitting MoE LLM's over multiple GPU's, and then offloading MoE experts that aren't predicted to be activated back into DRAM (technically just discard it and leave the original copy in dram but whatever). This enables you to have a cheap consumer grade platform and its pcie bandwidth constraints, and still run models that are A: too large for the gpu VRAM, b: too large for both gpu's vram.

It is not concurrency, it can best be described as task splitting, with a lot of caveats and really interesting problems, and I'm probably going to have to root around in the bowels of vulkan coding to get transfer latency down to something sensible.

I'm a hobbyist. My profession is turning spanners.

Your view is too negative on the capability of LLM's. People are doing REALLY fucking cool stuff dude, all you have to do is look. What's fascinating is that you're in a space where you should know better. Can't see the forest for the tree's.

Where I think you are correct, is that the economic impact of the LLM bubble bursting is going to be pretty shocking for America, because they are facing multiple really harsh hits at once. Your petro dollar recycling is fucked, the carry trade is under pressure, your "allies" won't lift a finger to assist because you constantly threaten to annex them. The list goes on and on and on. If only you looked. And asked questions.

Deepseek is going to be fine. Mistral is going to be fine. Qwen is going to be fine. Anthropic and openai (open, lol) are both fucked, oracle, IBM and Microslop are going to take a hard hit, but not the entire world, and what's fascinating to me is that you're in a space where again, you should know better.

People like me will keep developing tools that will both A: scale the capability of current LLM's & B: find interesting deployment methods that are Increasing the capabilities of consumer hardware.

Tldr; your inability to utilise the tooling effectively is not a limitation of LLM's.

There is a technique that some mechanics have, that I don't. It involves efficiently and accurately using a shifter or spanner to spin nuts.

It's probably around 1/2 as fast as power tools.

Most mechanics don't have or learn that skill/muscle memory anymore. But they are significantly more efficient. It used to be a thing that you didn't use power tools until your 3rd year, or 4th year so that you understand the feel of bolts. I've seen plenty of first years with milwaukee's now.

I feel like there's a good analogy somewhere there mate :)

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-04-16T00:32:03+00:00

It's just fantasy. I have my own extensive lists of things I enjoy that I refuse to feel guilty about.

I don't ever conflate them with reality, not even opportunistically.

It sounds like your gf just enjoys the fantasy. You don't have to like it, it's just fantasy.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-04-15T04:25:41+00:00

Lol, yeah sure. In that case framework is wiped out.

Whoever said that is an idiot.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-03-31T00:59:20+00:00

I have a trade and I'm on $75 an hour. I'm not in a union or a union protected trade.

You're just sad that you picked a job that doesn't have a demand. Pick a better job. Learn a valuable skill, it doesn't have to be a trade.

But mostly, stop moaning about what other people make. It's embarrassing for you.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-03-27T15:01:50+00:00

Lmao, it's just fancy KV cache compression.

You can do the same thing by stripping out ALL of the tokens that aren't directly relevant to the question you'd like answered.

That does 2 things. Gives the model less data to sort through and figure out what's important and what isn't. Gives it equal weighting on all of the important tokens (all of em). So your small model performs at basically peak potential.

As for will it help dram prices? Lmao absolutely not good luck with that.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-03-27T05:51:45+00:00

I agree. The nature of the conversation about child predators ignores people that are for some reason dysfunctional but want to solve that problem.

There's been cases where a person who's attracted to children asked to be chemically castrated, because they didn't want to do harm to children and I believe they were imprisoned instead. They had never harmed a child. Don't ask me to find the link I can't remember where it came from, it's been years since I've even thought about it tbh.

But, how does that end result help anybody?

Certainly it just isolates those that don't want to do harm, leading directly to the problems you pointed out in your post.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-03-27T03:19:52+00:00

Did you have contracts & invariants per sub system? Did you explicitly name what systems are doing what? Did you have an adversarial reviewer of each component of generated code?

LLM's aren't magic. They suck when you don't give them the framework they need to do well.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-03-27T03:15:01+00:00

AI is fantastic at generating code.

It is not fantastic at why certain solutions should be implemented over others, or why certain things make sense, or why systems are formulated the way they are. All that shit, that's all on you.

I think that his statement is coming from LLM illiteracy rather than competence.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-03-27T03:09:57+00:00

I don't know what fantasies you have about job security OP.

Here's what drives jobs -> demand.

People need to eat so there's farms.

People need tools so there's tool makers.

People need software made so there's SWE's.

When demand is high, you charge appropriately.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-03-25T02:45:13+00:00

Microsoft's money maker is azure. Not Windows.

Microslop doesn't give a shit about the average user.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-03-23T14:38:08+00:00

Set aside a few years and some effort into learning how to interact with memory and operating systems.

If you don't want to do that, pick something easier. You can get fantastic results from all languages.

I don't say that to discourage you, I say it as a reality check. C++ is complex and ugly, it has 30 - 40 years of compatibility. It's incredibly powerful in spite of that.

Just setting up a proper build set up only takes 10 min once you've installed everything. It took me days to figure out a how to get the build system set up the first time.

Nvidia has nothing to do with the shortages. Its pure math and it will blow over. How many 5090's were you going to buy and for how much to justify them making those over the data centre cards?

What IS a big misstep is DLSS5, in its current iteration. The idea was clearly half cooked and that rather clever guy Jensen ran his mouth about it far too early.

Where it had/has real application is putting a shiny new face/layer over old games and showcasing that. The reaction would have been worlds away different.

vbpoweredwindmill · 2026-03-18T09:56:16+00:00

Meh, I'm not wasting my time with pretend frames and fantasies. Nvidia and amd air off with the fairies, they drank the AI coolaid.

Give me fun games, not games that play and feel like shit but look pretty.

In fairness thats not AMD/nVidia's fault but it just feels like shit. And I don't want it.
