When I was writing Unreal Engine 1, my time was divided as follows: - Around 30% went to seriously deep coding on hard problems: assembly language texture mappers, C++ BSP trees, data persistence, object oriented systems design, and networking. - Around 70% was just typing and refactoring large bodies of code needed for a complete engine feature set. This was not hard, and while I was doing it my mind was mostly on the deeper coding topics, thinking and planning for what's next. It didn't feel much different from vibe coding today, except that it was just me typing code on an IBM Model M keyboard rather than prompting it and reviewing the results. So, it has always seemed perfectly logical that we would rely on AI for that 70%, once the AI could do it with a similar quality standard as we could, which has never been perfection. It came as no surprise that, after a few years of AI model evolution, it was able to take the reigns on that 70% and free up programmers' time for more valuable tasks. What's more of a surprise is the emergence of AI as a sort of insta-Carmack able to solve hard technical problems quite cleverly and often cleanly, and that it's able to reason about and work in complex 3D scenes both by operating the tools and by directly understanding the raw data files. I abandoned assembly language in 1998 when out-of-order CPUs made much simpler C/C++ code faster, and never I missed it. If prompting through architectural documents, concept art, and design plans can transcend typing code and tweaking vertices, that will enable developers to spend their time on higher-level, higher value technical and creative tasks. What matters is the end product, whether it's a game or an engine. Anything developers can do to try out more ideas and make better software and games faster is a win for everyone.

@CatalinAdler It's the same. People in Europe buying luxury cars in this moment are not the target of such advertising. It's just gross at many levels.

Interesting enough Tesla announcement of today uncovers one of the rare edges still Europeans have (among most things that are not going well): we still know better what not to build because of taste and resiliency to spectacularization.

I'm not an Elon hater. I'm just telling you the Honest Truth: This is a marketing stunt. The technology is quite old. Just nobody ever thought of bolting it on a car. Because it's pointless. Porsche or Ferrari could also build something like this if they wanted, but they don't, because it's not worth it for them. It's worth it for Elon though, because his entire brand is all about having the halo of futurism. His marketing scales especially well with tech gimmicks like this, which is why he is financially incentivised to do them, while others aren't. Again, I'm not hating, but actually educating yall. This is not engineering genius. It's marketing genius.

Puntata di ZiP con ospite Giorgio Gilestro, neuroscienziato all’Imperial College. Abbiamo parlato di quanto un LLM somigli davvero a un cervello, di coscienza e di emozioni nei modelli, e di come cambia la ricerca adesso che c’è l’AI di mezzo. @antirez youtu.be/2Dawb_Lpvqg

@SarikPoligraf Se hai giocato col flipper zero avrai visto che c'è un'app che si chiama ProtoView che ti fa vedere i protocolli in real time, e un gioco di Asteroid. Tutte e due le cose le ho fatte io. Le trovi sul mio GitHub. Su X ho scritto tempo fa un lungo thread su FlipperZero.

In the middle of the metoo movement I happened to visit a few random companies for work, and I went in contact with different managers. The constant was always that the personal assistant looked like a top model, at the same time the different companies were full-in with diversity programs, breaking with the past and so forth. This will likely not be the case but there are a lot of folks that are in power and want to interact with a person doing what they could do easily with two clicks anyway, and such person often is selected based on odd characteristics like attractiveness.

We in Europe have a lot of problems in creating companies. But a big one was getting funding to pay programmers and create big companies. I believe that with AI, if people change mentality a little bit, even just the young folks, we can move a lot of IT back to Europe.

@rdotapps Yep PIO+DMA but not for timing, but for transferring each line to the display. In that case of the Tufty the display has a parallel interface wired, so pretty fast transfers. But it works great even over SPI displays.

@antirez As a relatively young (26yo) founder of a two-person, bootstrapped B2B AI startup now serving 150+ companies across Italy, I can confirm this is absolutely true! This would have been absolutely impossible in the pre LLM era. Let’s bring IT back to Europe and, if possible, Italy!
