so you can play WoW and prompt now w/ Hermes HUD mode

it's a seamless overlay where you can keep an eye on things or ask questions about a game during your session.

@gabriel1 wtf. aren’t you from Sweden? Nearly everyone in the first world gets this taken care of in an orderly fashion

@Bloom__ow @craftydemon09 @GetQuakedOn Old ranked icons were so peak. How are the modern ones so fucking bad man it’s insane

[David Wongstein @CryptoAntigone]

@mizliz_ wait did all OWL employees get this? I thought it was just players

[David Wongstein @CryptoAntigone]

@GetQuakedOn I still come back to nihon after all these years. Really want a minimalist mythic skin if that’s even possible to design well

[David Wongstein @CryptoAntigone]

@joardee It’s been obvious for months that classic+ is announced at blizzcon with a playable version coming imminently, either beta or full launch

[David Wongstein @CryptoAntigone]

@iBDWSSBM That photo doesn’t do you justice, you have very good fundamentals for looks. Barber/stylist haircut + crest white strips + GLP1 to thin out the face would catapult you into chad territory.

@AlteradoLive @bardozVAL His stuff is hugely useful and highly used. You’re a no name bum. Truth hurts.

@PlayOfTheJames Problem with this argument is if you just switched the formats so 5v5 was the side mode, no streamer would ever touch it

[David Wongstein @CryptoAntigone]

@sonii I think this has a good chance of being a thing! I also strongly believe it will be a new separate monthly subscription

[David Wongstein @CryptoAntigone]

@Mvqdh @WatcherDev 100k a month is peanuts

I think I finally figured out how to use AI at scale

of course, the fact Fable is good is part of it. but I also changed how I work, and it all comes down to one key realization: you don't need to audit the code, but you NEED to audit the *choices* it made. if you just do that, things will work out, and you'll never lose a codebase to chaos. with Fable at least, the following seems to hold:

if I give it a good decision:
Fable implements it PERFECTLY

if I let it decide instead:
Fable may make some bad choices

that's how I see Fable: as a perfect execution machine capable of converting good decisions into good codebases, no matter how large. given a concrete plan, it lands its implementation. but when anything is underspecified, it can, and will, make bad choices. that's what you must audit.

"while working on this, which choices did you make that you're not confident of? list all."

then, you just review that. not the git diff, not 1000's of lines of code. just the choices it made along the way.

below is a fresh example. overnight, I asked Fable to fix an issue related to MatMul parallelizing worse than expected. it tracked the culprit with perfection, and landed a solution that DID work. but the solution was not general. it just doubled a buffer, which coincidently fixed the program at hands, but the underlying issue was still present.

when it completed the job, it declared success. if I just merged it blindly, the issue would still be dormant. that's the main mistake one can do with AI. instead, I asked it to spell out all decisions it made, spotted the bad one, corrected its course, and now the codebase is clean, correct and the issue is gone for good

I really think that if you do that religiously - i.e., NEVER merge without this "which decisions you made?" audit - you can go VERY far without ever reading a single line of code. at least on Bend, this is working incredibly well. despite heavy use of AI to implement an ungodly amount of features I could never dream of, the codebase is still in a superb state, with no signs of degradation

@AnalyticsGenius @thdxr He didn’t say it outright; it was insinuated. Put differently, he asked “if you are spending tens of billions of tokens, what is your ROI?”

[David Wongstein @CryptoAntigone]

@orenmeetsworld Good idea if you have a family or two you’re super tight with. Parents and all kids better get along super well. Otherwise, just get a luxury cruise.

@vvedantb @dillon_mulroy …this is disgraceful man. You should be ashamed of the code quality here lol wtf.

[David Wongstein @CryptoAntigone]

@WarcraftYax Yeah AWS will just give you random 24 year old “managers” until you start spending real money with them to earn a senior person. Super annoying in my exp, having gone thru about a dozen over my career
