My portfolio site was made with it https://perprogramming.com/

There isn’t much content though.

That's way cool man. I love the aesthetic.

I feel like the problem is trying to turn human experience into a metric. Probably the better approach would be to have a well staffed QA team.
agileAlligator · 2 years ago
I honestly don't think it's possible to have a QA team large enough to handle the gajillions of websites that come up and disappear every day. They just have to come up with better and better metrics until they find one that approximates the human experience the best.

In a sense I think this prompt is a good example of the assumable issues that exist with the doom scenario that company CEOs will be able to simply tell an LLM what they want and the whole program will be generated flawlessly for them. What the "CEO" wants in this scenario likely makes sense in their head but can't actually be built as described.

Though, really, there is no real WASD conflict here. When you hit a word, you'd simply disable WASD controls until the word is typed successfully.

> you'd simply disable WASD controls until the word is typed successfully.

Which it doesn't do, but would very simply be rectified by a follow up prompt asking it to do that

This project comes three months too late for me sadly... I'll still check it out though

This also applies to less-cerebral tasks. For example, I didn't learn to touch-type due to a school class with edutainment software, but because after one summer of arguing with people over dial-up, I had learned it just to get the words out faster.
agileAlligator · 2 years ago
Exactly how I learned to touch type; only it was Discord not IRC. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

i care little for whatever is going on here but you seem to be purposely ignoring the last part of the sentence.

extra welfare + women voting, (both difficult for libertarians blah blah), have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.

edit:

downvote all you like, it doesn't magically make a quarter of a sentence not exist.

agileAlligator · 2 years ago
He means that welfare beneficiaries and women vote in way that is against his image of what a capitalist democracy should be.

> Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.
agileAlligator · 2 years ago
Yes, that is what he said. Welfare beneficiaries and women are two groups libertarians find are tough constituencies to appeal to, and both of these groups have increased in size since 1920.

Well I do, some of them. But only for studying a few specific topics.

I used to have the copy of TAOCP vol 1 - 3, and eventually only read vol 2 because I was interested in (pseudo) random number at that time.... :D

Your comment comes at the perfect time, I am looking at learning about random number functions and tests of randomness myself. Do you have any other resources about these topics?

I (as noted in another comment: Dove's husband and the father of the child in question) homeschool him. My wife and I both have graduate math-related degrees. We let him pretty much run wild with independent math research, while also making a point to probe for weaknesses -- last year I gave him the tests from some MIT Opencourseware calculus courses and about twice per year-of-calculus we ran into something he hadn't learned and spent a couple days working it up. On the future agenda is Gilbert Strang's linear algebra course, since there are full lectures online and everything.

What we did in past years was, largely, giving him unfettered access to math and math-related channels on youtube. Vi Hart, Numberphile, 3blue1brown, stuff like that. When he showed interest in something specific, we'd get him appropriate materials. Since his elementary school was a public montessori school, his teachers encouraged us to send him with appropriate math workbooks for his capability level.

I envy today's generation and their free access to high quality maths resources haha
