The best mental habit I've picked up from (PvP) video games is learning to discard my happy fantasy about how the game *should* work based on aesthetics and admit I have no idea how to play well
i think the worst mental habit i picked up from the way i played video games growing up was the idea that all mistakes can be avoided by a combination of looking up guides and save scumming. i think there is a part of me that expects this to work irl

By this maybe-kinda-arbitary-but-i-like-it definition, LLMs are very faintly, indirectly conscious because they have some concept of LLMs in their training corpus, but not detailed modelling of their particular behaviour or interactions with an environment

This one annoys me because the framing is usually "tortured by their solitary existence, subjects preferred literal torture to sitting quietly alone"

So you can't torture an LLM unless you tell it that it exists and that you're torturing it, in which case maybe you are a tiny bit

I genuinely believe that emotional regulation is the primary bottleneck in most SWE jobs
seen it in myself time after time, working on something, knowing I can do it, but super aversive to it, so either much slower or rushed
@BecomingCritter
@yashkaf
yeah I don’t stand by “don’t do external things” at all. Nearly everyone I know at places I’ve worked are bottlenecked primarily by psychological things. By sorting them out and just being quite happy and well most of time they’d be far more productive, both of which are good

interesting thread, for me personally I don't know how to use LLMs to do anything interesting and haven't seen anyone give concrete examples on how I might use them
even so I'm bullish on them long term, I just think I can rely on social cognition to do the work for me

impossible to implement a generic method (static analysis) that can tell whether any given program stops running eventually or just runs forever
you can tell for some programs but not all

state of the art dev onboarding
1) give the new dev a link to a github repo
2) new dev reads README, follows instructions
3) when they get stuck ask them to DM another busy dev
4) busy dev provides a fix to solve immediate problem
5) repeat steps 2, 3 until env is working (?)
