May I steal this quote as if it's mine? :bow:

I have the opposite experience where Gemini (even the flash models) has the only useful model for my reverse engineering related use case. My hunch is Google utilizes its free access to entire Google search indices to train itself from niche non-English speaking community websites, much frequently and in a "relevant" manner, which in the end gives these models the most up to date info for this particular kind of work. Every other model is just either 10 years outdated with their answers or simply hallucinates like waaaay crazy.

If I am not mistaken, it's even shown in the marketing materials to build suspense.

> Water blobs vs. fireballs. Pretty sure there's a nice videogame idea hiding in there somewhere.

I like the way you think. :)

That analogy may not be suitable for this case because value proposition between the aesthetics vs the function is different for visual art projects compared to software. There is also the maintainability factor where most aged software (especially the closed source ones in private sector) change maintainers every few years. Old maintainers most often lose access to the source code and become unreachable after leaving their job.

"Protection against malicious use" isn't as cool as "model welfare". I'm renaming my authentication function to "examineCrest()".

I recommend replacing "hi chat" in the test spell with "Mortal plane, I greet thee".

> I'm not quite sure why you'd want to run Erlang on it, but the hardware exists.

Erlang is invented before IoT was a thing to facilitate distributed computing for telecommunication in a highly reliable manner. It makes perfect sense to adapt it for driving fleets of cheap IoT devices.

> And here are my clearly unimpressed “friends” >:(

These friends don't get it!

Low resource footprint, written in Go, embed-able in any Go project as a library, compiles to mobile with little to no modification, supports config change without restart, has plugin API.

These were the reasons why we used it in my previous job.

> it has a truckload of data

It would be "artificial" only if LLMs performed badly despite having an equal amount of data containing examples of eastern customs in its training set. Even that's arguable since we don't (didn't) have the benchmarks for this particular case before.

It's no different than GPT answering a prompt with "That's a wonderful idea!", except it's in a different language than English. It's a good thing if LLMs can do this in every language and for any culture with no compromise.

> yet the end result was complete shit

Could you elaborate why? It looks like a useful protocol.

> Linux separates things such that I was looking at C files in drivers/platform/x86 and header files in include/linux/platform_data/x86. And the ACPI code lives other places as well. It’s all very orderly, but at times it felt like navigating a grocery store that arranges products in alphabetical order. Logical, but not exactly cozy.

So beautifully put!

You get to choose your own, more efficient "PI" for your model. Still, it's a valid question.

I refuse to believe neutrons can be any color other than white.

Phind does one thing and it does it really well. I use it because it has a real, positive impact on my growth. I love the fact that it is not Jarvis, but just a really helpful library assistant. Please don't lose the focus! Stay awesome.

Double "AFAIK" makes me trust you more :)

I think this is very accurate. The exception is probably those block buster games. Those probably get direct consultancy from NVIDIA during the development to make them NVIDIA-ready from day 1.

Beautiful. Thank you.

State transitions are probabilistic and operators have complex coefficients.

True. Luckily it's open source. You can do `npx curlconverter --language go example.com` behind a firewall after downloading the npm module.

> Admittedly this theory is only backed by personal preference

Same for my argument too.

There is also the cultural factor. The age when I was going to make a decision about which high school to choose and what kind of study to pursue, we had the chance to enjoy the release of a few of the best sci-fi movies/shows ever made. Those movies had the black screen, neon green/blue strokes and fonts as the main design language. Looking at the letters falling down in the movie Matrix, it was like "coooool, I wanna be able to type those in real time and make computer do stuff".

> Personally I'm still stuck in this era. Light background is a must. I never use dark mode on anything. I genuinely don't understand the kids...

Kid here (34). My understanding is our generation grew up spending much more time looking at a screen in general. Gaming, socializing, following news, doing work, doing homework, talking to parents, talking to partner(s), reading books, painting, sculpting, paying taxes, managing finances, applying jobs, applying for visas... The list is too long to fit here. Participating in society demands more screen time than ever.

Dark mode makes screens blend with the environment better by emitting light where only needed. Since we can't reduce our screen time without any compromise, we try to optimize with the dials we are left with, in this case, pixel brightness.

Now that we have foldables, I see no reason not to put a hardware keyboard to the bottom of one of the screens while the phone is unfolded.

> I hope that Android becoming more and more user-hostile (and more specifically in this case power-user-hostile) will move more and more people to custom ROMs.

I 100% share your desire but this is wishful thinking imo. People tend to comply when given no other options.

Unreal Engine actually applied the idea to implement distributed objects transparently. It is decent enough to power most real time multi-player gaming scenarios.

> incapable of bringing in new ideas

But they are REALLY capable of detecting bad ideas.

Try phind.com, it's pretty much what you described. It's an AI search engine for programmers which is able to annotate its results with SO links for every paragraph it generates in case you don't trust the generated text.

I was just guessing but OP provided confirmation to my interpretation.

We all have our own battle scars :)
