@falco_girgis @_shanytc I can report from the trenches it writes barely passable code with google highway. The less code on the public internet the worse it is, that’s why they excel at boilerplate CRUD slop.

I can also report it was incredibly helpful when trying to figure out the math of GraphBLAS.

@thdxr Look up @Monodraw it does ASCII shapes and layouts, similar sort of use case. Would be cool if they added some TUI specific stuff to Monodraw.

@dhh @37signals @FrameworkPuter @Beelinkofficial Have you tried those beelink GPU expansion cards?

Self hosting some models with this sort of setup seems kind of attractive and you host it on your tailnet.

@Ben3adi3 @Sujkilla @jxmnop You learn from repeated recall

[Faiz Shah @FaizLikeTheHat]

@Ben3adi3 @Sujkilla @jxmnop That’s literally the point of a hackathon. It’s not to finish but to explore a new idea or new skill and then show what you learned.

@theo FYI the algo for this is lottery scheduling

[Faiz Shah @FaizLikeTheHat]

@theo You could solve on the revenue side by tiering the pricing so premium models are only available on a higher tier.

Or you could solve it on the cost side by rate limiting usage by provider/model across the whole customer base. This could also have a Pro/Max tier for preference

@falco_girgis Ada on Dreamcast 😭

Definitely need a deep dive talk just on the GTA port.

[Faiz Shah @FaizLikeTheHat]

@falco_girgis This progress is insane it looks so much better than the one from 2 weeks ago.

[Faiz Shah @FaizLikeTheHat]

@falco_girgis Lol I bet, I have felt 1% that pain debugging minified JS in prod at 2am 😭

Btw, if you ever get time, check out chromium’s renderer. So interesting: https://t.co/DNtxDU9Q1H

I was so humbled poking through its codebase.

Graphics/rendering engineers make the world move.

[Faiz Shah @FaizLikeTheHat]

@falco_girgis Ended up looking at it myself it is surprisingly well organized: https://t.co/VNVQAzheg7

Every system has their shutdown etc. hooks that get called up here and the systems are pretty cleanly separated. I remember looking at the cryengine loop ages ago which was a nightmare.

[Faiz Shah @FaizLikeTheHat]

@falco_girgis What was your approach to get started on that codebase?

It must be massive and games often have a lot of spaghetti code hidden in scripts.

I think I would have started by trying to find the game loop and learn the systems but a large game like that must have tons of systems.

[Faiz Shah @FaizLikeTheHat]

@ThePrimeagen Sometimes you need your deployment/compiler monitor. I can’t stress enough how annoying it is to realize your deployment/compilation finished 15 minutes ago.

But yea having “the slack monitor” or “the outlook monitor” probably means you have too many monitors.

@jobergum I’ve been looking for one for handwritten notes especially with poor handwriting. I hope more work is done in that area.

The results for printed text are really impressive.

[Faiz Shah @FaizLikeTheHat]

@falco_girgis @brynfidel Imagine getting to work on rhythm games at their prime, it must have been so much fun.

[Faiz Shah @FaizLikeTheHat]

@simonw @AdamRackis I found that CoPilot generally has better low level intuition with code, while ChatGPT excels at high level intuition.

[Faiz Shah @FaizLikeTheHat]

@simonw @AdamRackis I find that it performs well on popular use cases like for example basic Pandas questions, but for more exotic things like build issues with Bazel I was not able to get it to find the right solution even after giving it the error output.
