My mom dragged me to one of his last concerts and i had similar expectations as your peers. Since then he has been my role model in terms of coolness.

I will always think of him as King Jaffe Joffer, Ruler of Zamunda.

Thanks!

Excuse my ignorance, i have avoided copilot until now..

Does it have (some of) the other files of the project in it's context, when you use it in a test file?

Agreed. It's also true for most social platforms.

Yeah, good question. You could ask the same question for today's or near future coding LLMs used by non programmers.

I guess we are currently in the special situation, that we as human programmers can understand the output of a coding LLM. That's because programming languages are designed to be human readable. And we had an incentive to learn those languages.

I imagine that machine learning powered coding will evolve to an even blacker box, than it is today: It will transform requirements to CPU instructions (or GPU instructions, netlists, ...). Why bother to follow those indirections, that are just convenience layers for those weak carbon units (urgh)?

Simultaneously, automation will likely lead to fewer skilled programmers in the future, because there will be fewer incentives to become one.

Together those effects could lead to a situation where we are condemned to just watch.

Does anyone remember 'derBauer', the Flash god?

Oh, MIT licensed.. The title gave me the impression that it's a project by MIT.

I also immediately thought about Apollo, when i read "most challenging products that have been created in all of human history".

How humiliating. A teacher did the same thing to me, it worked.

I think it's a really good idea.

It sounds like he is talking about an actual simulation:

> Basically, his idea was that if we progress far enough technologically, we'll probably end up running a simulation of our ancestors. Give those simulated ancestors enough time, and they'll end up simulating their own ancestors. Eventually, most minds in existence will be inside layers of simulations — meaning that we probably are too.

> What they mean is that this three dimensional reality we're experiencing is a projection of some sort of higher dimensional reality.

I think, that's also true for holography.

Is the advantage of this, that you only have to keep the one binary up to date, in contrast to e.g. a host with docker-compose and the containers therein?

> Not sure if energy use is a sufficient criteria to dismiss some technology. This universe progresses by turning low entropy energy into high entropy energy, which the use of energy is doing.

What is the connection between those two sentences?

> Who is going to label the "general purpose computing" training dataset

That's what i imagined to be easy to automate. We have tons of inputs* and real computers, that will output what real computers would output.

* and hopefully the knowledge to come up with a set of inputs that (together with an actual general purpose computer) contains the essence of what general purpose computing is.

Reminds me of Bio-neural gel packs.

> How would the input and output devices work without drivers? Does "no classical software at all" mean that the drivers are somehow within the neural net?

Why do you single out drivers? If the whole I/O behaviour of the computer would be performed by the NN, why not drivers?

> Wouldn't it require observing countless inputs and outputs for a normal computer?

Yes and that bit sounds to be relatively easy to automate.

> How would the neural net being trained distinguish between good, wanted input/output combinations versus bad, error input/output combinations?

I guess you would put that information into the dataset. In supervised learning it's called labels.

Right. I even quietly mumble 'asshole' while reading it.

Exactly. What i also learned was, that i had to take a (primitive) collision detection into account. Otherwise bodies can come so close to each other, that the gravitational forces can go very high or even to (machine) infinity.

Unfortunately not, i couldn't solve some (numerical) stability issues and i buried it in my "dev directory". But if i'll get it presentable, i'll be doing a Show HN.

Thank you, it's really cool! I started something similar, but way less sophisticated. Basically i implemented a n-Body solver in Julia, compiled it to Webassembly and did the drawing with canvas, like you. This motivated me to work on it again.

> The issue with ksp is that you first need to figure out the rocket design before you start on orbital mechanics

Come on, it's not rocket science.

> I ended up building my own web simulator for that part anyway

Is it public?

This article [0] says they should have used secrets management, since they are using Kubernetes anyway, so this seems to be about their server, not the embedded or Android code.

Doesn't accessing the hard coded api keys imply to intrude the server in the first place?

The interview itself demonstrates parroting vs. actual reasoning, imho.

As a kid i was told, that a CPU works by many tiny switches being turned on and off blazingly fast.

So i interpreted the HDD seeking noise as the sound of those switches. :D

Thank you!

> I'd say it depends on what your other options are.

> why not give it a shot?

Your right. If it fails because of automation by ML, most other career paths in the tech sphere would do, too.

Would you recommend to still get into freelance consulting (with a ML background) at this point in time? Or will the very technology you're consulting about, replace you very soon? AutoML, LLMs etc..

Thank you. Few people really seem to acknowledge the name.
