it sure seems like the only way for "AI" to become profitable and ubiquitous is as part of an arms race, surely that's not a problem

running a game jam now must be a nightmare :[

Had a dream I was at an Olivia Rodrigo / Cheekface show and I knew how to do front flips. I was doing a lot of front flips, way too many. Also someone brought jello shots and Olivia got very mad at this.

I opened up a mystery chip; it turned out to be a "switched capacitor filter" from 1984. Filters are important circuits, for example, adjusting the bass or treble in an audio signal. This chip, the MF10, was popular because it combined two filters into an easy-to-use chip. Let's take a closer look…

conventional wisdom for the entire time i've been programming has always been "less code is better". the idea that we must write more code faster is ridiculous. the problem has never been rate of output

It is no longer possible to experience any sense of accomplishment. Accomplishment is something a computer does for you.

It's been days and I still can't stop being so bummed about the new Fontaines D.C. video having "AI" visuals in it. Come on man

Finished Hunters of DUNE. I'm not a real picky reader so I think it was fine. Def read a little like a fan fic and I miss the style of Frank's writing a bit. Traded a lot of weird horniness for violence. I kinda don't believe whatever "outline" that was found for this story was very substantive

Oh this is exciting I never even considered this could be a thing

Well that's a wrap on all of Frank's DUNE books... I guess I'll try and wrap up Hunters & Sandworms and then I'm freeeee

I only just watched Event Horizon for the first time last year, loved it. RIP Sam Neill

It seems like there's a type of guy that gets offended when the title of a song is not in the lyrics of the song

Censoring because I'm fearful of the gifs that might come my way if it was a quote. I'm dying lol

Well, he's just an excitable boy

You telling me a bi bimmed this bap

Some good work being done here by @nichemusicmemes.bsky.social on Insta (h/t: @maggieserota.bsky.social):

Quote with a ship that makes you happy? Gotta be The Flutter

One Nintendo fan professed to enjoying all of the publisher’s music, apart from the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack and DK Rap. paletteswap.site/dif...

If Tesla can be sued over the naming of "Full Self Driving" we should be able to sue every company calling their product "Artificial Intelligence"

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have on your phone

I think I'm more shocked that anyone was using copilot than the cost or the subsidization

I am really looking forward to reading this, I bet you would be too! Just a couple days left to fundraise let's get this printed!

The other memories

I just started this today, finished volume one. What an awesome and well executed vision for this setting and these characters. I was not prepared for just how subversive yeah amplifying it is to the mythology. Very cool.

there is only one hope for humanity- the synthesizer

new TMBG hell ya

The stats on this are wild, everyone is coming out to (correctly) announce that this is peak treat. Has there ever been such a great alignment on values and has it ever been this deserving

The belief that any of these guys are going to create some kind of 'AGI' is so insane.

Oh hellll yes

I wish I could be writing well-crafted software that's deeply considered but that's unfortunately not what's expected of any of us right now

Feels like every few weeks there's an account people are trying to make "the most blocked of all time" and I just wanna say I will be there to block whoever it is every time. I love that shit. I hope it's me one day.

Devils on the Moon Pinball is out!!!! What a time to be alive!! get it here: play.date/games/devils... Only on @play.date #pinball #indiegames #pixelart #playdate

I would love to hear Spencer Krug do a Zevon cover. either Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner or Accidentally Like A Martyr is what I'm thinking

The cruelty of the action (murder) and of the lack of political action is sickening. It keeps happening and I'm going to lose my mind. ICE, DHS, and their enablers should never see the light of day again.

imo a lot of devs are just always reaching for the next set of jangling keys with total disregard for actual ergonomics, opportunity cost, or process improvement. An excuse for never-ending tinkering to dull the monotony of the actual work. I'm not convinced it's any different with the LLM boom

woah.

Man I was just thinking about this it should be a legislative requirement that all LLMs "speak" via a TMS5100 or the like. Put one in every "NPU."

I am so bewildered by people's desire to have an idea and then ask an LLM for the end product. I have to imagine these are the kind of people who would hear about a good book and just read a plot summary to "save time." If you're so eager to get to the end state of everything why are you living.

9 games thing is tough I feel like I ended up with a lot of nostalgia/childhood picks probably because that was when I had the most time to play and make memories with friends

This looks fantastic, of course. I cannot wait.

Post an iconic horror movie image This one still gets me

It seems almost pointless to make a complaint about the sequel trilogy but this has still not left my mind. when would this hinged piece of shit ever make practical sense? This image should forever be the shorthand for "were out of ideas" but the content is too forgettable for it to stick

I think they discontinued the Reese's big cups with the Reese's cereal in them and that was the best one, man.

Finally watching Evangelion (original series) almost embarrassed to admit I haven't seen it!
