AI is notoriously bad at estimating length of tasks. Like humans.

This is true but its assessment did match my personal experience as a developer who has built quite a few apps with React + Node.js + Postgres combo. The project I had written with my framework was only about 1400 lines of code (mostly declarative HTML) and my experience is that applications of that complexity would normally approach or exceed 10k lines if well written with React/Node/Postgres. So its assessment even seemed conservative based on my own estimate.

I once also worked on a simpler application (feature-wise) for someone else which was approaching 100k lines but it was poorly architected with a lot of bad abstractions and over-engineered. In this case I could claim that my framework is cutting almost 99% of the code but that's comparing to the worst possible situation. Still, even that's not necessarily an unfair comparison because, in practice, a lot of real projects do end up bloated to such extent after a decade or so, likely even more so now with AI. Any framework which can prevent that bloat code from being generated is genuinely delivering long term benefits.

Doing more, understanding more the tech of the project, exploring more ideas, the list is infinite

Who got more time thanks to AI ? I think a lot of us are working more instead

I have tons of friends who know HoMM III, it’s the game of our youth

I think it’s also popular in eastern Europe

The Polish HoMM III Championship is happening right now, with last semi-finals match scheduled for 30/31 October, ahead of Grand Finals in Gdańsk 13-15 November.

The calorie theory is the same theory that leads people to believe they can exercise to loose weight

How to do that exactly ?

The thing the OP describes happens in France as well

You can absolutely deal with complex numbers with the (x,y) notation

You can use exponential with matrices as well.

That some people don’t want to understand deeply the tools they use don’t make their tools superficial or “hotfixes”

I mean the guy has a PhD in mathematics so I'm sure he understands his tools deeply. Certainly more deeply than I did when I was an undergraduate in his class. Sometimes the right analogy, even if imperfect, is more helpful to build intuition than pages of rigorous proofs. Chill out.

Of course maths need intuition, it isn’t always incompatible with being rigorous

But yes some who have PhD in physics don’t always care about understanding deeply maths tools. Depends what you’re doing

I’m not sure why you feel the need to keep arguing about this. I’m not going to go back to my Alma Mater and tell the prof that some nobody on hacker news doesn’t like an analogy he used 12 years ago.

Whatever point you’re trying to make is not working.

Go away.

Im sorry if I come across as aggressive, Im myself chill and just here to talk, share and discover new things. Analogies are essential to learning I agree with you

Get a m5 pro mac with 48gb vram and you’re good to go for a few years and that computer can be used for others purpose as well

Dog slow, at last for me. I can't crack 30 tokens/s. I'm trying an Intel B70 next.

I recommend Visual Complex Analysis by Tristan Needham

There is proof of this theorem in it that blew my mind some years ago [1]. Someday I want to finish reading the rest of the book.

> Starting with a given convex quadrilateral, construct a square, external to the quadrilateral, on each side. Van Aubel's theorem states that the two line segments between the centers of opposite squares are of equal lengths and are at right angles to one another.

Wow, that's such a surprising theorem. Thanks for sharing.
