  • This might be a stupid question but I have just some limited experience with sorting algorithms and was wondering something: could some algorithm like this be improved specifically for multi-threaded processing? I mean, an algorithm that is generally NOT the best option with a single thread, become better than other algorithms when it can delegate part of the work to different threads?

    Perhaps something that runs the same algorithm on several threads, each starting at a different point of the map, but sharing their findings with the other threads?



  • Depends on their definition of “working” .

    I tried asking an AI to make a basic webrtc client to make audio calls - something that has hundreds of examples on the web about how to do it from the first line of code to the very last. It did generate a complete webrtc client for audio calls I could launch and see working, it just had a couple tiny bugs:

    • you needed an user id to call someone and one was only generated when you call (effectively meaning you can only call people if they are calling someone)
    • if you fixed the above and managed to make a call between two users, the audio was exchanged but never played.

    Technically speaking, all of the small parts worked, they just didn’t work together. I can totally see someone ignoring that fact and treating this as an example of “working code”.

    10 introduced a bunch of cool stuff that made it seem like it was going places: WSL, the new terminal, multiple desktops. If you’re able to ignore the sad state of the control panel and settings apps, 10 was peak windows experience (feature-wise).

    Then 11 came around and fucked everything up. As someone who subscribed to MS Insider to run beta builds of windows and get updates earlier, win 11 was the first iteration that really felt like there was just no upside to it. It was exactly the same as win10, but with some features removed and a much heavier hardware requirement. Even Vista (microsoft’s most successful OS) had some cool stuff going for it back in the day, but win11 was nothing but one disappointment after another. Shit it wouldn’t even let you keep a clock on the second screen until like a year after release.
