@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

Whats funny is this is literally my first run after compiling, swift wins!

Time C: 0.23500466346740723

Time Rust: 0.09973406791687012

Time CPP: 0.4095611572265625

Time Borded CPP: 0.6213748455047607

Time Jest Rust: 0.28962039947509766

Time Swift: 0.09300994873046875

But almost all runs after that Rust wins e.g.

Time Rust: 0.08958315849304199

Time Swift: 0.09246969223022461

Time Rust: 0.08958315849304199

Time Swift: 0.09246969223022461

Oh shit, may have to install swift now. Wanted to check out that language for a while :P

@whimsical Other companies have the same problem :P

I think cloud AI will become very expensive soon. There's only so much money investors will let them burn

More like Liquid Ass

That will not happen because what humans associated with "action" is emotional based. LLMs are purely machines. Why would they waste 200 watts to create a better car, when the only entities who care about having a better car are humans?

When thought is free, thought is meaningless

The weights have numbers associated too: 400 is regular, bigger is bolder, less is thinner

@whimsical What cool stuff :O

@whimsical Give me a few weeks then I have something really cool to show

@whimsical Sorry, was working on my game engine :P
