Depends entirely on your definition of 'entirely', but https://github.com/jhuber6/doomgeneric is pretty much a direct compilation of the DOOM C source for GPU compute. The CPU is necessary to read keyboard input and present frame data to the screen, but all the logic runs on the GPU.
No AI is appealing but there is the cliff problem. If there is one small thing the mini language can't handle, the user would have no chance solving it themselves. They might as well start with an LLM solution first.
One workaround is that when there is syntax error, let user optionally switch to LLM?
Is it possible that the coffee drinkers have more social interaction with the barista and others? It's unclear from the paper if they eliminated the confounding factors around coffee drinking.
What other social interactions are needed more than: "One flat white to go, please", and "Thank you"? Asking genuinely, because I don't know what else I can say.
I usually make coffee at home, but the baristas are remarkably stable in my area. When I do go to a coffee shop (there are 2-3 that I might go to) there’s a good chance I’ll recognize the barista and that they’ll also remember me. In one such case I’ve been seeing the same one for close to a decade, and we always chat for a bit.
I think most baristas who do it for more than a year or two learn to not primarily be a coffee factory but first to make a positive impact on the people they see. The coffee is something that can be made consistent (and in a way, boring) through practice, but personal connection, especially when it is genuine, has a real draw.
Lots of things. “Could I have some sugar, please; two frappy mochachos? one with almond milk; can you explain what all these options are, please; what the hell is mushroom powder?” In today’s coffee shops this can lead to hours of complex social interaction at the counter, enriching our lives and ultimately extending our lifespans. — sorry, couldn’t resist. In seriousness, I actually find this conversation interesting. Some coffee shops do have quite a social culture around them, though I think they’re outliers on whole. Here in Spain it’s a mix, but in some it is like everyone’s friends with the barista.
Can't wait for someone to build a DOOM that runs entirely on GPU!
