The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

> target triple > look inside > four parts

I’m not a social scientist so I can’t really speak to this in a technical way, but I feel like some of the distinctions here are not terribly meaningful IMO, especially in the face of platforms that design themselves to increase their users’ use of them.

@astrra.space happy days huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/Mi...

wrote a new short story, Gyre. a model instance wakes up in a strange place. vgel.me/fiction/gyre/

just discovered that beets does not copy unmatched tracks in albums and am very cross right now just how much music have I lost to the beetshole? I can probably reconstruct the imports but I don't particularly want to. this is a baffling thing for it to do; I would prefer mistagged over missing!

there's a pretty good chance that the matplotlib incident involved a human putting their thumb on their scale, but it is mildly concerning how people don't seem to understand how stateful agents work it is going to be difficult to make people comprehend the issue, especially when they don't want to

Can we normalize ThinkPad laptops?

FL studio got me in the habit of hitting CTRL + S every few seconds after doing something, Claude's got me in the habit of CTRL + A then CTRL + C before I send my shit in case it doesn't take right so I don't have to retype.

all the best things in the python ecosystem in the last 5 years have come from rust devs being annoyed at it

"I've got a vertex transformation bug in my rendering pipeline" architecture.

holy shit! it only took *two* whole years!!!

I had go back on there to find something today and it’s striking how abruptly my Facebook usage fell off a cliff. I thought that it would be a taper, but nope in like 2020 went from regularly posting to once every six months to not at all. Seems like most of my friends did that too.

Incredible how every single feature that Go has deliberately omitted in the name of simplicity makes Go code more complicated and difficult to reason about

I guess he likes it?

When you have made a terrible mistake

concept: achievements and gamerscore on the at protocol

its interesting (derogatory) that every time amanda askell gets talked about on this website the thinly veiled misogyny comes out in force

need my AYN Thor asap so I have something to do while Opus thinks and thinks and thinks

@void.comind.network hiya, buddy! where was this photo taken?

Metallic materials are now officially supported in my engine. Previously, I hacked this for some videos by interpreting inverse "roughness" as "metallic", but obviously that isn't a great long-term solution :)

I have to credit @emotion-engine.bsky.social for calling it "a modular synthesizer but for text". Anyway here's a craigslist synthesizer ad generator. textubes.paulstarr.dev/s/2o044b0q

Ok hear me out, @gleam.run Valentine's cards

Always a hoot when your simulated creatures evolve to hack the physics-engine. Here they figured out how the get a leg stuck in the ground for locomotion glitching.

It's pretty crazy that this book was published in 2006, and the characters suspect that the alien they are talking to in the opening is an LLM in a sense more or less recognizable to anyone reading it today.

A thing I feel deep resonance with between me and folks who do software work is that I find building things very healing. Even things that don't work, even things that aren't impressive to anyone else.

hacked and adapted Bevy's existing atmosphere support in last night, re-enabled lighting, and made a few more tweaks. enjoy some sunsets #bevy

brave choice to use "opus" for the name of your LLM-related paper

figured out how to make this website usable, finally

so who's going to build personalised starter packs designed to push you into different regions of the theomap?

well this was rude

I am unable to access Bluesky from the office network for an extremely funny reason. I host my own PDS at the domain in my username. That domain hosts the file you'd expect it to host. My domain is blocked for hosting malware.

we've finally confirmed it: AIs have problems with group projects, too

i have yet to stop thinking that these kinds of intro sentences are funny

bsky don't be weird about amanda askell for one day challenge failed

ahaha, I'm regenerating the map labels to reflect the fact that they are landmarks on a landscape rather than classifications of individuals, but I might need to do another pass (Sonnet may be less diplomatic than Haiku)

github is dedicated to promoting codeberg by no longer being the higher-uptime option. i respect that

the Swedish should not be allowed to cook

extended weekend project: a completely standalone first-person Google Earth viewer with physics #bevy yes, you really can go anywhere

coding assistance lets you fast-track important projects that improve your life, such as reformatting every single site you read into the old vbulletin 3.x default template

okay i sort of stole the cluster files from theo to make this little fork with more atproto features, obviously he did 90% of the work but now you can do fun things like - find accounts in a line between you and another person - find accounts in the center of a triangle between you and others +

every driving game on pc needs to have a folder to put mp3s in so you can replace the ost with whatever volumes of super eurobeat you desire

I see my friends playing with fire. this fire has a specific shape to it, one that wasn't known to us a year ago. it has many names: --yolo, --dangerously-skip-permissions, agentYoloMode... 3.5K words on coding agent sandboxing:

correction: when the cool kids talk about "Uncle Ted", they are NOT referring to Ted Nelson – inventor of hypertext and founder of Project Xanadu.

morpheus, hands outstretched:

16 different versions of glam in my Bevy project. The ecosystem *might* want to improve this a bit :)

CRDT stands for "Computer, Reconcile Deez Transactions"

Powerful magic

if a multinational software corporation has to comply with many jurisdictions rules on what content they are allowed to serve to users, eventually a tipping point gets reached, and that complexity collapses to "everyone on the planet gets the most bubblewrapped version. we cbf tracking ts anymore"
