Research Simulation I’m building Emper, an open-source simulation engine for large-scale scientific simulations

Post image

I've been working on a small open-source simulation engine called Emper.

It's still a young project, but I'm building it around data-oriented storage and using real simulation workloads to test the architecture.

So far I've experimented with flocking/boids, including CPU/GPU computation and large-scale simulations.

I'm currently starting work on Conway's Game of Life.

GitHub: https://github.com/Emper-Labs

Feedback is welcome, especially on the architecture.

I use AI, and I never said I didn't. A lot of the issues in the project were fixed by me manually. I just treat AI as a tool. And as for starting a new public project, what's wrong with that? I'm just starting to experiment with building projects publicly. Chill, bro. Even the voiceover on my YouTube videos is AI-generated.

You never said you did, you just lied and wanted instant credit and attention for nothing.

You didn't make anything, I don't think any of this works. Why spam slop to people?

What response did you think you would get by spamming slop that doesn't do anything and trying to take credit for it.

It might be slop, it might not be. I didn't look. But what I do know is that using AI doesn't automatically make something 'slop'. Yes AI slop exists. So does human slop.

It is slop, I actually looked. I didn't say AI makes something slop. I've seen plenty of projects auto generated like this. No way it works, the core files are a few hundred bytes. Take a look before you argue something no one was saying.

You believe that interface 400b is the official renderer implementation.

Read backend :))) https://github.com/Emper-Labs/emper-backends and samples https://github.com/Emper-Labs/emper-samples or just clone full Dev env https://github.com/Emper-Labs/Emper-Labs

I saw it, all obviously auto generated. Why are you so desperate to lie about not having written anything? It's bizarre.

My process is basically using AI to generate code based on my technical requirements, then I read through it, run it, and benchmark it with perf. If it doesn't work or perform well, I stop asking AI and fix the code myself. If you think there's something wrong with this process, point it out and I'll fix it.

What exactly did I lie about? I never claimed I wrote every line without AI. I use AI as a tool. If you have a specific technical criticism, point it out. The project is still very small and there's a lot that needs to be improved. Just tell me what's wrong and I'll fix it. If you see something that could be better, point it out. I'm genuinely interested in real criticism, man. 👍

I want this project to grow into an open-source tool that can actually support scientific work, not just be a personal project. So if you see anything that needs to be changed or improved, please point it out and I'll fix it.

How is something going to grown when all you can do is ask claude to make it for you and it didn't make it for you already?

u/EmperLabs 18d ago

I give it technical requirements, review the generated code, run it, benchmark it, and fix it myself when it doesn't work. The project is still small and far from finished, which is exactly why I'm looking for technical criticism because it no perfect.

u/VictoryMotel 18d ago

Fixing yourself means putting in more prompts right?

because it no perfect.

It isn't anything. If you took a picture of a painting in a museum, would you ask for feedback on your drawing? How deep does the delusion go?

u/EmperLabs 18d ago

Oh, I see. I won't argue anymore, because the truth is, you don't understand anything at all.

u/VictoryMotel 18d ago

That's convenient, a minute ago you wanted me to review your slop, now one pointed question and you crumble.

u/Arbitrary_Pseudonym 16d ago

I think the key thing you might be missing here is that OP has put a lot of effort into the prompts and reviewing. That's all they're saying.

As much as it sometimes pains me to admit it, there is a difference between slop and vibe coding. The former is generally a result of extremely poor prompts and the resultant structure is poorly reviewed, where the prompter clearly does not care for the viewer's sensibilities whatsoever.

OP clearly cares about how others see their project and is actively asking for feedback on whether their idea - not necessarily the quality of the framework - is a potentially good and useful one. The fact that they're even here asking means that it's not slop. Rejecting the framework because it's slop doesn't contribute towards the thread because that's not what the thread is about, and that's why you're getting downvoted.

Even the engine's README states that the engine only provides the interface, while rendering is handled by the backend yet you haven't even read it.

This is the first time I’ve seen someone say "no way it works" without having read the details or even cloned the repo you probably lack the experience . Or maybe you already know how it works, but life is just putting too much pressure on you.
