You remove a lot of context knowledge if you only consider 2 is the result of 1+1

I think it's based on the start of most learning curves, i mean there's always new generations that are at the start, that don't know much. I think it's ok if they are young, otherwise i only know my specialty and the other things I'm at the start of learning curves

Life is short, make the best of it! You have $86,400 in your savings account. Someone steals $10 from it. Would you be so enraged that you throw away the other $86,390, and focus all your energy on getting back at the person who took it? I doubt you would. You'd shrug your shoulders, take pity on them and get over it pretty quickly. You see, we have 86,400 seconds in each day. But often, we let someone's 10 seconds of negativity ruin the rest of the 86,390. Don't let what are minuscule moments in the grand scheme of things, cause you to armour up and waste your energy on people who did you wrong or situations which didn't go your way.

After 21 weeks of mucking through GPU code, I think I finally have decent control. May 10-20 hour binges. Here compute/vertex/shader. Over 200K particles. Give me another 6 months. I will make a lib everyone can use. How much more original content can I give? The new GPUChannel.

Finally figured out last issue. Windows string translation error. Should have used gdb in the first place. Now before you think BFD, C and java are sharing a 64 bit memory port. One has the high 32 and the other has the low 32. C is writing to java RAM and Java is writing to C RAM. Now Java can Access the GPUChannel and all the efficient C Channels with commands. "All channels have bytecode commands sets" Wasn't sure it would work so added suspenseful drums.

Oftentimes, it’s not intelligence that holds people back, it’s overthinking, self-doubt, and the endless quest for perfection. Smart people analyze. Successful people act. The truth is, execution beats brilliance every single time. So if you’ve been holding yourself back, waiting for the perfect plan, the perfect moment, or the perfect skillset, here’s your reminder: You don’t need to be the smartest person in the room. You just need to be the one who starts.

One of my daughter used to say she didn't like pasta even before tasting it A lot of people say, no need to learn to code when you have ai , but they don't know what is to code

Learning and experimenting with calling ollama and sending context, and visualizing how to make a cut what goes to the context and whats kept out, due to context window limitations Humans also have a mental capacity limitation when communicating

LLMs are just processes, even if multi-models, even if distributed on a network (or a cloud) Just processes, know what's a computer process, research, learn what's a process in a computer operating system

Ai doesn't give me what I want, it makes me go through unnecessary hoops Have to do old school research

Ai is as good as the prompt, and the prompt is as good as awareness and ability to integrate and connect islands, and follow up

The world where I loved programming, that world is long gone. I still love programming and experimenting ideas, and visualizations ( computer graphics), and event driven programming, and Object Oriented Design and Analysis and Programming

Thats why I still need programming friends OOA&OOD&OOP (and programming in the large) is why I like gen-ai

Writing mathematics is coding, especially the more complicated maths, like matrices or determinants , multi variables integrations or derivatives, or systems of equations ,or combinations of them

And writing algorithms is writing algebra, and algorithms are templates and patterns, and the computer is a template engine
