Not everyone who does CS becomes a web dev

For example in my current programming job I don’t do anything involving networking or databases

Can anyone name an actual job replaced by LLMs yet?

Tangential, but reading about niche domains like this its crazy to think how different the things people do under the job of programmer

Two people could get CS degrees and one ends up building UIs/forms in React the other is implementing “Lagrangian water wave simulation”

Just totally different worlds

I’m curious if enterprise customers would have license concerns about the code produced from using this.

Have any big companies set policies on employees using these kind of tools? Do they allow them?

I think its more like Tesla Autopilot

In the beginning there was lots of hype because you couldn't use it

But now that its in consumer hands there's tons of videos of it messing up, doing weird stuff

To the point that its now common knowledge that autopilot is not actually magical AI driving

I totally get how this bug would end up in the game

Someone probably manually tested the feature originally and thought “yeah this feels random”

Are there any modern games that recapture the same magic of CS 1.6 custom maps?

It feels like custom maps aren't as big a part of gaming now days for some reason

Also working in games but as a graphics programmer and I agree with a lot of this, working with the other disciplines is really cool.

Once the game releases its really satisfying to watch people playing it on twitch and seeing stuff you worked on in it.

IMO working in games can be a really good balance of fun/still making good money if you end up at a good studio.

How does that work? Do you have to carry around a Yubikey/Dongle everywhere with your phone?

I've seen a few discussions about this on HN but I don't understand, why does everyone assume its even possible to ban it?

How would that even work without false positives?

For example with comments, in the worst case an AI model could just output a real comment from the training set verbatim

For the older devs, has there been anything in the past like this?

As in some new hyped tech that people kept trying to insert into their business?

Yeah avoiding ad-blocking makes a lot of sense for sure

Working for a game studio and launching a game is a really satisfying experience IMO

I think part of is that everyone is working on the same project and has a shared common goal of making the game as good as possible. Plus there's so many different disciplines involved, its really awesome to see everyone's combined talent come together.

And as much as there can be some negatives to gaming, I do think games and other entertainment like movies are a net good thing in the world

Does Mastodon have the same moderation that the twitter users are used to?

I don’t get it because if you look on the valve careers site they’re hiring for specific teams (like steam for example)

What happens if you hire someone and then they say “nah working on steam is boring, I’m gonna go work on something completely different”

How do you financially allocate head count if people can just leave the project whenever?

Yeah this seems like another "how is that better than a centralized database" situation

This is pretty specific but does anyone remember in one of the Runescape open betas back in the day there was a duping bug? I think involving a chest?

If I recall it was really easy to do and by the end of the beta like everyone had totally jacked up gear

Of course it all got reset eventually since it was just a beta but I recall it being pretty hilarious to play during that period

What do you mean, it already exists?

Xbox Gamepass or Playstation Plus

Or 3rd party via Amazon Luna

I think you're confused, when people say "they ask leetcode questions" they don't mean they do automated tests

The questions the human is asking you come from a big question bank and a lot of it is listed on LeetCode under the meta company tag because people leak them.

People use Leetcode to practice for those interviews, they don't use the leetcode site in the interview

Yeah but the point is how are you going to just look at disassembly and know there’s a Trojan?

I don't think that tech even exists

For the answers to make sense the NPC needs to be consistent

I've never seen one of these chat bots that doesn't produce occasional nonsensical answers

There's also the problem that as the designer you don't even know what your NPC is going to tell the player

You can do a bunch of testing but its still unpredictable

edit: nvm

Ideally I'd like to be able to write desktop apps with the syntax of C but the performance of electron

> Also note that nothing is preventing Optical Flow Acceleration [0] (and subsequently the DLSS 3.0 models that they claim are exclusive to the 40 series) from running on either 2/3 RTX cards.

Are you sure about that?

The page here says it uses "Optical Flow Accelerator of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture" which sounds like a hardware feature?

Agreed although it is a bit painful going back to 30fps on switch once you're used to 60fps on the other platforms

Do any switch games support mods?

Graphics programmer at a game studio

Real-Time Rendering is probably my most used book when I started

It is more of a breadth than depth book though

My theory is that its because the people in charge of making that decision (management and higher ups) are the people who most benefit from in person work

So naturally that would be the decision

I've never been a manager but I'd guess that managing a team remotely sucks more than being a remote IC since the whole job is communication
