Generally probably shouldn’t try to innovate in too many places at once

we are well aware and duly noted. thank you for the feedback

Shouldn’t the next model focus not be on code but system design?

Seems like the work from a good system design to code is practically solved.

Now it’s a matter of the design of the system. Or is that represented in these evals?

Have you tried system design with LLMs? I find them pretty good at suggesting 5 architectures for a problem and then iterating on the solutions.

Even if I had no idea, going with the default suggestion would not be a terrible mistake, assuming you did describe your requirements relatively well.

What would a mobile OS look like if the browser became the operating system and apps were sandboxed WASM instead of native APKs?

I guess what would be the advantage? You move up another layer of software. Is it any different from the OS?

Maybe someone could revive FirefoxOS

News just in.

It happened in 2017.

2017 is also the year ChromeBooks first outsold Macs (by value, not units). 2017 was the Year of Linux on the Desktop, and the penguin taleban didn't even notice.

this is what we need

Palm webOS has entered the chat!

Still maintained, still sold.

Could be revived if anyone could be bothered.

Did smart phones ruin society?

more like social media

(but isn't this a bit off topic?)

Smart phones are what made social media toxic.

The last sacred mile of our social lives has been invaded and corrupted no?

No one enjoys a concert or sunset without feeling the need to capture and share it.

Who is to blame for that?

Steve Jobs

  > Smart phones are what made social media toxic.

i dont know about that... usenet was a toxic mess alot of the time waaaay back, and facebook used on pc alot of the time is a total cesspool, same with 4chan etc etc... smartphones just made it more accessible, but it was always there...

I appreciate what you're saying but is the problem with fast food that people have always been hungry?

probably the problem with fastfood is that its preying on our human bias for fats and salts and doesn't provide much beyond that

we probably arent super disagreeing anyways, all im saying is its kind of like blaming uber eats for delivering lots of junk food to everyone when the problem is the junk food

in other words, probably we should think about why we allow these social media companies to prey on our human biases.

hypothetical, but would you still be against smartphones if facebook or 4chan etc didn't exist or was illegal as a business? if so, whats the reason?

Probably.

Pandora’s box didn’t just have social media in it.

Curious to see if Epic Games ever refactors their reflection in Unreal Engine to use C++ 26 reflections or not.

That'll never happen. The engine's entire serialization system is built around their custom reflection layer and UHT. Not to mention how this would affect licensees. PLUS, they just laid off a bunch of people, and the leftovers are focused on Tim's Verse fiasco. I hate to use jargon here, but there's no "business value" to switching.

EDIT: and based on these compilation time results, this would be a major setback for building the engine, which already takes an eternity.

Yea from my discussion/research with ChatGPT it seems compilation times would suffer.

I watched the movie '21' (2008) for free on YouTube yesterday.

The opening of the movie features the MIT campus full of students navigating its grounds and all the promise and status that higher education brings. [0]

Gave me the same sense of sadness realizing how much will fall to AI.

Not free in my country, didn’t know YouTube was broadcasting full movies in certain regions as you imply.

Are you able to watch this one?

Why is it one or the other and not one THEN the other?

Same, when I got into UO emulation I used Sphere for a month then this new C# emulator called RunUO was announced haha and I moved over (~ Aug 2001). There's still a forum post from 26 years ago of me remarking about all the brackets { } involved in writing C# code ha. But I remember that spark when I made a change in a sword file and saw it reflected in game. Been chasing and riding that high ever since. Led to a career in software development but more importantly unlocked some of the greatest joy in life I'm sure everyone here can attest to.

Did you ever get into Ultima Online?

UO was the only Ultima game I played. I got into programming doing Sphere and RunUO emulation as a kid without ever knowing about the long history of Ultima games. Assuming that all of the brilliance of UO was architected in a few year span of development. Now looking back at the series seeing all the foundations is incredible. Overnight success 20 years in the making.

AGI or bust
