Not trying to be an Ai-hater or anything, but what is the point of this? Some pronographic obsession with "AI"? I am seriously asking.

Can't wait for the Buble to burst so we can get back to solving real problems (like the fact that we have very little competition in the CPU market right now, AMD is getting way too comfortable...). I do think though that when this bubble bursts it will hurt the machine learning field (which does have people doing practically useful stuff like protein folding) and investors might pull all funding because this generative nonsense(which has no real use beyond generating porn) will taint the entire field, even the parts of it that are actually useful.

I agree so much with you. This is not a dataset. This is the vomit of an LLM making stuff up. Like...why couldn't you just collect the data that already exist?? Why do you need an LLM?

Adding an LLM to this just adds a unnecessary layer of complexity, for what benefit? For street cred?

That actually kind of makes sense. The framework I'm using (Yew) compiles down to WASM. So the entire website is loaded up-front first. It's like loading an entire app on your browser. The idea is once you load it, it should go really fast.

Thank you all so much for making this space on the internet one of the best places to learn and share knowledge.

Gracias :)

I know this is a bit of a loaded question in the C/C++ world. But really depends on the project. Most cases it seems I go with CMake just because that's what everybody seems to use most of the time. But I do long for the day that modules get fully implemented in all compilers and we get some kind of standardized solution that's akin to Cargo/npm/maven... One day. I try my best to keep things simple.

I use clang-format for a lot of my projects, but there were certain things that I wished clang-format did. Like ignore certain directories and a more explicit way of just checking the files without modifying them. This script is basically a wrapper for clang-format that adds those options via YAML configuration file. I find it quite useful for some projects of mine(especially when I want to ignore some directories). Hopefully some people find it useful as well.

Nice try, manager ;)

We work on side projects because we __like__ it. Seeing side projects through the lense of "value" is naive in my opinion. Yes, obviously if the side project has actual users than that's a plus. But companies like seeing side projects because it __does__ show that the candidate really likes what they do for a living. Now whether the company is purposefully using that to expect people to work 60 hours a week is a different discussion. And while I'll probably ruffle some feathers by saying this, I'll say it; software is a sport. Very much like a sport, if you stop doing it then you'll get fat and lose your touch. People that work on side projects are constantly honing their craft and because of that they tend to be the best athletes.

If I owned a baseball team, I sure as hell want the best. And in my humble opinion, the best are usually __always__ working on getting better at the game. AKA working on side projects ;)

EDIT:Just want to clarify; it is WRONG of a company to expect people to work 60 hours a week. Just so we are in the same page. I am NOT condoning that.
