Logistic bots, once they are unlocked, the game becomes trivial.

Once you make a few blueprints, then the real joy of factorio is found. Nothing like splatting down an outpost and watching it sprint into existence as thousands of “agents” build it out.

This.

Once you open pandoras box, you dont put it back in. It doesnt matter what age.

The whole, they didnt get enough when younger, sounds like a very strange weird explanation that falls flat when you think for more than 5s about it.

Bezos i dont think is in the same bucket as gates. If you read about it, he was blackmailed for cheating and said f it and that is how his wife found out. Even then, he seems to be into…older women if his new wife is anything to go by.

iirc, it originally was gonna be of himself but he changed it because that looked a bit too…on the nose.

I think the wife hates it.

Many of those with options see it as a badge of pride to stay loyal. One of those, ya I could if I wanted to but hey look I have self control…most of the time.

i meant reproduction? not that thinking was doing it but that each person would have some unique aspect to their thinking based on dna and env.

Yes? 30-60 is night and day so i have a hard time believing this.

There is an argument to be made on battery life 60-120 but my god i can instantly tell between 60-120. The key part is the input responsiveness more than anything else. If you tell someone to look at “frame rate” few will notice the dif but have them grab a window and wiggle it around, obv dif with responsiveness

Too true. Even on the software side i see people blindly “claude make it faster with no mistakes” and gushing about it when the output is genuinely not good not because claude isnt good but because the user of it isnt.

We got a new a CNC machine and everyone is carving away marveling at how easily it chips away at metal when the result is a jagged mess.

It is most impactful in tech because tech is almost nothing but languages and more so super expensive languages where one hour of an “authors” time can cost thousands with a supply demand issue so bad workers are imported from across the world.

Artists were already starving. The more physical trades are…physical not language so a plumber still plums. Maybe now they ask gemini instead of google tho.

Areas related most to…language are the most impact by large language models? The one that i think is just as impacted is education because it is also almost all language driven.

I see zero sign of any of the new mills coming around. Steel, crops, farming, none of it has changed and what little has is from…the software side or…language.

The SV world really over indexes on how much software can do.

Sorry if this sounds rough, no.

Saying that is like saying everything is about combination because well, it is even the creative stuff if you are pedantic.

The wibbily wobbly dna of humans is how we keep recombining things into new shit. Comp sci absolutely has deep creativity in it.

As much as this is a bit of a shit post I dont think it is wrong. Both sides behind the scenes are in pretty strong lockstep.

Thered need to be changes in how lobbying and certain countries are registered to make a dent. Everyone says age but I dont think that matters as much as the lobbying industry. Young people are every bit as corruptible as the old.

The world is large. I will say what I used to say when people complained about how awful dating was pre social media, if you are shopping at a bar, it is like shopping in the gutter, you may find a gem but more often it is shit.

There are alot of women who want kids but they likely are not in the pool you engage with. Go to a conservative US christian state, join a church, engage with the community, it is easy. I bet the issue is that you do in fact have a standard and that standard is the barrier.

If it helps, almost every wealthy man i have known engaged with escorts or prostitutes at some point so I wouldnt view it as shameful and who knows, you may learn something about yourself in the process.

i have had a dropped filling for almost 2 decades. It is my test for if a dentist is crap. The number that dont even mention it is surprising.

Unlike others, the issue I have is not using AI to have fun and be creative, I do it all the time like a one off table top character sheet tool.

It is the claim that the 60 agents produced competent optimized code when the response here clearly shows that is not the case. But I can excuse ignorance when someone is learning but there was no learning here. There was no interest in learning anything more than “i like that, no not that, make it run better”.

Then this bold claim about how creativity has somehow fundamentally changed because they found a new kind of ink for their printer. Sure kid.

As someone who knows something in the space he brags about, it is fascinating to see the dunning kruger effect in realtime here. Even with all those claudes in “adversarial review”.

Realtime soft lighting is possible on mobile but if he had known that, i bet claude woulda been able to do it but he didnt.

If there was even the speckle of curiosity, he would have asked beyond “dont make mistakes” but i guess he was too busy riding his bike while burning 50k to make a blog.

This is both creative and soulless at the same time. It runs like puke and reading the creating of, it is obvious why.

AI still cannot solve ignorance and all these examples from and of people/anthropic really showcase this. It is like watching a monkey shake a box of crayons until something interesting comes out.

Anthropic 30k mrs a day, custom version control to handle the churn vs some dude and an email list.
