I wish Google would allow me to remove the AI stuff from search results.

99% of the times it's either useless or wrong.

I'm suggesting that people should have a sense of personal responsibility when operating potentially dangerous equipment, and that a person should not be required to pay extra for a business or hobby just because some well-to-do patent lawyer has come up with a business model which has an end-game of requiring that patents from his company be required in products.

is this the hundredth reheat of "they wrote Rollercoaster Tycoon in assembly language"?
Slyfox33 · 9 months ago
I really don't understand people's obsession with this fact. Every game that was developed on consoles before the playstation was also written in its machines assembly language. It was extremely normal at that time.

They won't. Just as most modern devs can't edit assembly and would take days to write a bare bone network communcation, they won't need to learn certain things we did. And they will excell in other skills, making some old aged senior devs obsolete. A senior that uses modern dev tool chains will allways have a huge edge. That has allways been true. But that senior relying only on their hard earned knowledge will become the kind of dinosaurs we knew when we started.

Yea they can't edit assembly because they have reliable tools that work 100% of the time, always. They don't have to manually inspect the output of the assembler every time they write any code. This is not even close to the same thing as LLMs.

I can't say examples like this sell me on Rust, coming from C++. I need to manually to_string(), every single time I want to use strings?

And that bizarre scoping of Person p feels very un-intuitive. How would you work around that if you need to keep using it after show()? (Which is an extremely common use case)

Slyfox33 · 9 months ago
"Dave" by itself is basically the same as in c++, just a pointer to a string literal. Dave.to_string() is like std::string {"Dave"}, it allocates a heap based string from said literal. So you can use "Dave" perfectly fine if you just want a string literal.

Related - Is C doing anything about memory safety so it can be called memory safe?
Slyfox33 · 9 months ago
No, it would be impossible to make C memory safe without just making a new language.

Now they're fascist? I don't think you know what the definition of fascism is...

(sounds like you're repeating a talking point of the left of calling everyone on the right a fascist..)

You voted for the rapist felon buddy. Please go ahead and explain your definition of fascism.

Can you provide the name and location of this grocery store? Or any grocery store that accepts btc?

I've never encountered ONE single grocery store, or store for that matter, that accepts bitcoin as payment.

It really depends on what you want to call a "GPU"

The device in the PS1 has also been referred to as a "Geometry Transfer Engine"

You can see it's features and specs here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_technical_specif...

Some may say that it is not a "real GPU" or certain features (like 3d) are missing to make it one.

The Nvidia claim is for the GeForce 256 released in 99.

This makes me wonder if our grandkids will be debating on what the first "real AI chip" was - would it be what we call a GPU like the H100 or will a TPU get that title?

Slyfox33 · 10 months ago
The Geometry Transform Engine is a separate chip. It's a Cpu co-processor, all it does is some basic linear algebra. The Cpu uses it to perform that math faster and then it writes it back to ram where it ships the data off to the actual Gpu, which is something completely separate. (I've written a PSX emulator).

Several folks have already mentioned that ChatGPT with search returns the correct answer to your question (with a source to explore directly).

I really think this latest release is a game changer for ChatGPT since it seems much more likely to return genuine information than ChatGPT answering using its model alone. Of course it still hallucinates sometimes (I asked about searching tabs in Firefox Mobile and it told him the wrong place to find that ability while citing a bunch of Mozilla help docs), but it's much easier to verify that by clicking through to sources directly.

It feels like a very different experience using ChatGPT with search turned on and the "Citations" right side bar left open. I get answers from ChatGPT while also seeing a bunch of possibly relevant links populate. If I detect something's off I can click on a source and read the details directly. It's a huge improvement on relying on the model alone.

Slyfox33 · 10 months ago
Chat gpt will not always return the correct answers, thats a fundamental limitation of how it works since its non deterministic. So just saying "it worked for me" means nothing.
