I have often wondered why my country does not have fast Internet and my own hypothesis is that our phone companies push so hard for mobile data plans that most people just use their phone's Internet for everything. I have seen many people always connecting their laptop and TV and even security cameras to the hotspot provided by their phone, with only mild complaining about how annoying it can be. When I suggest they get a proper home connection they just shrug it off as an extra pointless expense and something only nerds like me care.

We could have so much better connectivity, but average people are happy as long as they can watch <streaming-service>.

New tools are cool, but from what I have seen jj is literally just git with aliases

doesnt really help if I cant find them and I guess if I could find them so could GW and they would be taken down. Having an application you can host at home that could do the job from pictures would be awesome

I dont know that app specifically, but from all videos of different lidar and other 3d scanning tools I have seen the results are pretty bad and require a lot of sculpting after the scan. Whole point was that with few images the ML model could construct the actual 3d model for you

I dont know how that solves this. How do you get STLs out of gausian splats?

If down the line this model could create 3D model from 2D images that would be very neat way to pay less for war gaming models

Yeah that’s not good for current Copilot usage since you are paying per request not by token

You are prompting the same model to review what it just did?

Hope people doing those kinds of automations are paid to waste prompts and tokens. Any cron based LLM run is just stupid waste
nextlevelwizard

That is a lot of prompts. What kind of prompts do you usually give?

Mine are usually giving specification and telling Claude to implement some part of it, referring to existing code base, writing unittests and running e2e until it passes. This can easily take 4-5 hours.

Then again, I have seen colleagues prompt “are you sure?” And other nonsense like that

How you burn 300 requests in a day? From my Copilot usage Opus consumes surprisingly few requests to do a lot of stuff. It isn’t paying by token but instead by prompt or something.

Because there is no negatives, only positives.

I can maintain the Python code myself and I can execute it everywhere.

If I let my LLM write in Rust then when things break I am out of luck. Also Rust needs to be compiled which means I can't just share the code as freely.

Is this actually dithering?

I have dabbled with some dithering algorithms and while this is way faster than my naive js implementations, this looks pretty bad

Let’s put age limit on gaming then.

Gamblers will always find a way to gamble. I like getting cosmetics for free even if they are randomized. I don’t think I have ever bought keys to loot boxes, I just don’t see the point.

And I see no problem with that. I have never bought a single skin for Counter Strike nor Team Fortress 2 and I have bunch. Well, I used to, but then CS2 came out and all of a sudden my skins and unopened boxes were valued at hundreds of euros and I sold them on steam.

Maybe hot take in this age, but loot boxes for cosmetics aren't a problem when you can get cosmetics by just playing.

Even in these comments I keep hearing the same complaint: "when you do open source people come asking for support and complaining about your software"

I don't get why this is such an issue. You can just ignore these people if you don't want to interact with them. You shouldn't take bug reports or support requests personally.

Yes. I misspoke. It dropped very very late on Wednesday, most of the work started on Thursday and Friday was a Mayday which is a holiday in many if not most places. So fine, on a technicality it wasn't a Friday release, but it might as well have been. They could have easily waited for Monday.

So why not just tell immediately on discovery? After all every flaw exists already so what’s the difference?
nextlevelwizard

That is just being pedantic. Why did they absolutely need to release this into the wild now? Why couldn’t they have waited?

“30 days should be enough time” why? Why is 30 days a magic number? Especially in open source.

Yeah it isn’t the researchers problem to tell every distributor of the kernel about the fix or verify that everyone has the fix, but fuck maybe wait until at least someone has the fix and maybe don’t drop it on a Friday. That is just malicious
