I recently mentioned that my team and most of my dev friends don’t use AI for code on a gamdev forum (we do stuff like distributed consensus, compilers, etc.). I was quickly denounced as “an arrogant douche”.
As someone in the Venn diagram intersection of "software engineer" and "studied climate/astrophysics/planetary science" in school, reading comments here is painfully disheartening. Virtually everyone highly engaged in this field is anticipating multiple, systemic apocalyptic scenarios that will end modern life as we know it. I'd assume that most of the people reading have enough of a calculus background to understand some of the underlying math. I implore you to find a good book or course on it.
I worked on their Power Play downloadable system to embed games in a local player and also did stuff like add Mojo Jojo and new levels to games like Power Puff Girls Fast and the Flurrious. They had a mini golf game with a 3d golf club I embedded that I spent more time playing than working on :)
Alas no. I worked on their Power Play downloadable system to embed games in a local player and also did stuff like add Mojo Jojo and new levels to games like Power Puff Girls Fast and the Flurrious. Fun times :)
I work in distributed systems programming and have been horrified by the crap the AIs produce. I've found them to be quite helpful at summarizing papers and doing research, providing jumping off points. But none of the code I write can be scraped from a blog post.
We run a large distributed cluster (currently 4 DCs spanning the US) and use hot code reload for live patches when needed and rolling deployments for our standard releases.
I think that's a good point. Our largest pain point with Elixir is definitely the size of the community and the associated dearth of niche libraries. The technology behind it, though, is solid enough that once those libraries exist, things really take off. My team wrote several open source medical libraries for Elixir and we've seen it really expand into the healthcare market.
We use something like this at scale, similar to Riak's design. We use it to store things like the active state of millions of hospital patients in RAM for high availability (zero downtime when DCs or nodes fail). One copy per data center with a writer at one of the DCs. Our current cluster has 32 nodes (8 per DC -- we should have 5 DCs across the US but only have 4 at the moment).
