“What do such machines really do? They increase the number of things we can do without thinking. Things we do without thinking-there’s the real danger.” - Frank Herbert

Windows is determined to ensure more folks learn about Linux. I’m not even mad, I respect a company willing to torch their own reputation for the greater good. What do you mean it’s just slop and incompetence?

Read it twice, then twice more.

Having $800M in your investment account vs $400M doesn't change your life at all, but having a labor market where your underlings are desperate to cling to jobs vs one where they can walk across the street and get a better offer makes a huge difference in the day to day reality of the very wealthy

A book into the ribs from across the room is equally painful, I couldn’t imagine being struck with a (bound?) encyclopedia at velocity.

This is a direct attack on me personally, and I dunno what I did to The Onion to deserve this slander.

It’s not that we set out to scope creep, but sometimes these ideas seem too cool to not run down.

me: finally gonna get this new game done!! 😤 also me: what if the trees could procedurally generate flocks of birds, this is important for reinforcing a sense of scale but also creating a sense of motion th-

These console companies don’t even host online gameplay, it’s either P2P or the game devs are responsible for it. What exactly are we paying for beyond CEO salaries?

sorry that I bit you man. I got reminded of the existence of Nintendo Switch Online as a service you have to pay money for and got really mad. yeah they make you pay extra to use online features for a game you already own on a wifi network you already pay for. it sucks. can I bite you again

“What do such machines really do? They increase the number of things we can do without thinking. Things we do without thinking-there’s the real danger.” These people aren’t smart, they’re just rich.

gotta say. "i don't think i could fulfill my central role as an earthling without the computer program i built" should be immediately disqualifying. for like, everything. if a person told me they couldnt imagine raising a child without a chatbot I wouldn't let them work close at a convenience store

Aristocats is a potentially solid choice for a “live action” Disney remake, being only an hour in length, with just shallow enough characterization, and having been made long enough ago many children and even some millennials don’t have particularly “sacred” memories. In this essay, I will…

Last month I paid $5 for a 30 day supply of 10mg Adderall (generic, I’m not made of money). This month my prescription was increased to 20mg, the cost? $50. A 100% increase in pills is a 1000% increase in cost. Burn the whole fucking insurance industry to the ground. Single payer. Now.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

“If Democrats are so fucking smart how come they lose so goddamn always?” That’s their game. Don’t win enough to actually enact liberal policies, that’s bad for their billionaire owners. No, they need to lose just enough the country slides to the right and they get to whinge and beg for more money.

America: *annexes a chunk of Mexico, offering US citizenship to the civilians living there* Also America: “Why are all these Mexicans here?” Make it make sense.

It’s never just another 15 minutes to finish up writing this feature/fixing this bug/refactoring this function. It’s gonna be 3 more hours and when you finally pull yourself from your train of thought everyone else in the house has given up on you and gone to bed.

Learned a lot this game jam, including: Don’t pick a potentially frustrating game as a game jam target if you wanna place well. The people crave dopamine, not cortisol. Or I could say “fuck the ratings” and keep making the game I wanna make. I’m proud of what we put out there regardless.

Every time I think “AI will be useful for debugging this time” I wind up solving my issue while using the docs to “explain” to the model that the method they want me to rewrite my entire codebase around doesn’t exist in the API.

It’s like that thing people do where they get better answers quicker by using an alt account to answer their own question incorrectly so someone who would have otherwise ignored the question answers out of sheer spite.

Submission day is tomorrow. We are about as done as we are gonna be. There’s about 100 things I’d like to improve on and tweak, but this will have to suffice. No matter how we place, I’m proud of this. First game jam down, many many more to go.

As we approach the submission deadline for this game jam, I'm increasingly happy with how this game is coming along! Ignore the debug movement, just testing the new mission system. Next on the docket is to get a functioning UI and some upgrades!

Maybe we should stop anthropomorphizing the glorified autocomplete machine? We know these tools have no sense of understanding, no conceptualization capacity, and no ability to parse or learn. We know they are about as close to conscious as the silicon they’re run on, it’s time to stop pretending.

so has tech journalism just sort of collectively given up at this point, or

Checo to Cadillac has me more hyped than Wil Wheaton rolling a nat 20. Not only is my boy back, he’s back with the best ass in the business. Can’t wait to see those two together.
