@D-4got10-01 Yeah that's the kind of video. I guess at the end of the day its all about money

That's why everything sucks now. And honestly it's also because the economy sucks. I think if people had a realistic path toward house ownership and stuff it would probably not be as bad. But everybody is just focused on the money, no matter if they have to scam, deceive or worse :(

@D-4got10-01 @whimsical I definitely agree on the code as art (or craftsmanship) part, and that's also why this pisses me off so much

I already hated normies streaming into computer science and coding because it was so overhyped on tiktok/instagram/youtube but now with AI its like 100x worse

Bunch of idiots sucking out all the air in the room just for us actual knowledgable but quiet devs to be drowned out

That's kinda how OO langs work though

Java doesn't really check that whether the func was overriden or not, it just fetches the function pointer for func doSomething from the vtable and calls that

More sophisticated compilers will do some shenanigans like devirtulization where they can see if only one concrete subclass exists, they will just statically call the method without lookup first

@whimsical Guess I'm too young :P Gta 5 released in 2013 btw <.<

@whimsical No :P Its not GTA, more a pure racing game. But I might add make it more GTA in future

@whimsical Pretty slowly :( Hopefully i will have a demo by the middle of the year

Every now and then :P

Holy rare b2 post on here nowadays

@whimsical You call me delusional but you never call me wrong :P

Btw in terms of quality NOT quantity! Can't model a whole city as a single guy lol

@whimsical I love everything about Rust. I just sometimes wish I *also* had a GC :P

@D-4got10-01 I really like GC for some stuff

My dream language would be closer to Go and/or Rust: ownership by default and opt-in GC ptrs

That way you're not constantly heap allocating temporary objects while also not having the heavy handed dichotomy of "this thing is ALWAYS heap allocated" (c# class) and "this thing is ALWAYS just a identity-less bundle of bytes" (c# struct)

@Lensflare Just little things, like IUintPtr vs actual ptrs, enums not being exhaustive, can't return refs from struct methods. Stuff like that

I don't actually hate C# btw, I was just frustrated :P

@Lensflare Of course it looks "good" considering it's just the default claude vibe slop look

@whimsical I'm more of a sentimental kind of guy ;P

@whimsical Like a lot of things sadly :(

I like C# but a lot of it feels kinda old and clunky

@Lensflare Can you derive them in Swift? I.e. let the compiler give you a default impl (optionally with some extra annotations on fields for specializing it a little)

@jestdotty HashMaps work perfectly fine in serde. Unless you need ordered "VecMaps"... don't ask me how I know lol

Just full on AI slop

Why can't AI just die

@Lensflare You just need to spam this shit and delete the rant again everytime if it's not visible on recents

Very fun process :D

@Lensflare Ah, so its more nuanced than that :P

@Lensflare I thought apple had some pretty hard restrictions for which versions you are still allowed to compile apps for, no?

@Lensflare Maybe if you're doing *really* low level hardware design you need to optimize truth tables.

But that's really all I can come up with lol

@whimsical Imagine fucking someone.

Couldn't be me ( ; - ; )

@jestdotty Steam the video game store

Basically people trying to steal counter strike items because you can sell those for real money

Sounds like a good way to burn a few hundred bucks lol

@Lensflare True! I'm actually half way done writing a post but I feel like I'm so bad at writing

It somehow feels both too terse with too little information but also rambly at the same time ;_;

@Lensflare I'm kinda in the same boat. When you're really invested with what you're doing it's annoying having to spend a day writing up an post instead of doing the really cool thing you're doing :P

@whimsical Not online yet :P

Coming up with interesting things to write about isn't easy, and when I do then I'm too lazy to write about it lol

@whimsical The unfortunate problem is still that AI doesn't scale like software: You can sell 1 total or 1 million software licenses/subscriptions without any significant increase in spending. But for AI, 1 million users need 1 million more compute capacity than 1 user! It scales pretty much linearly

After like 20 runs I got another swift win:

Time C: 0.10503029823303223

Time Rust: 0.0970664024353027355

Time Swift: 0.09548282623291016

:P
