made me think, and gives hope; maevyn.codes/decoherence now, how to give slow-thinkers, strategists and innovators air to breathe — while industry-wide the default celebrated mode veers toward “tactical tornado on agentic nuclear-powered rollerblades”?

maevyn.codesThe Decoherence Trap: When AI slop drowns out the signal in an endless sea of noiseOf all the forms of tech debt, decoherence is the worst. It compounds exponentially with a system's rate of change, and AI is now producing it faster than ever, leading us deeper and deeper into the a...

I am so tired of people who can't code telling me about how AI helps them code to 1% of the ability of a professional, which sure is 10x for them. It's like me telling people that the invention of music theory will make actual musicians obsolete because now I, too, can write chords that sound OK.

If someone offers you a seat on a Titanic-viewing submersible, you do not ask who built it, you just get on.

Eric Schmidt really said, in his much-booed AI graduation speech, “if someone offers you a seat on the rocket ship, you do not ask which seat, you just get on.” Unbelievable

Oh no. Bye bye, VALIE EXPORT. One of Austria’s great artistic troublemakers is gone. She turned the body into a medium, the public sphere into a battleground, and cinema into something that could strike back. Thank you for the disturbance.

Island now supports native multi-view rendering -- which means i can draw to all 6 faces of a cube map image in one draw call. Telling the renderer which views to enable happens via the per-attachment ViewMask. #debugviewart #vulkan #realtimerendering
