Retired pro gamedev, SNES thru Xbone. Tinkerer & thinkerer. GenX. I want humanity to achieve more. I try to help with that.
Wow. Just, wow. If you didn't already know that talking to an #AI about anything except the weather was a bad idea, well, our "friends" at #Facebook / #Meta just kindly made the reason for that very, 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 clear:

I really hope that every Millennial and GenZ out there who thought "haha being obtusely nonsensical to confuse older people is sooo funny" are enjoying harvesting the 6-7 seeds you planted.

Dude, this non-intersecting #cloth #physics algo by Ryoichi Ando may not be realtime yet, at least for large models, but this is really impressive & I bet someone in #gamedev could optimize it, or cut corners without too many drawbacks.

Do you think Microsoft ever looks at the Steam Hardware Survey results?

This is from September. I'm looking forward to reviewing these numbers for October 14th onward.

I want to live in the timeline where Firefly wasn't cancelled.

I haven't seen a single Godfather movie. I don't understand the fascination people have with the mafia. It's just a bunch of horrible criminal psychopaths.
I haven't seen any of the Rocky movies.
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

At work, don't:
• be loyal to the company
• sign a non-compete, at least not as given to you
• work late as a pattern
• stay after your startup is bought by a megacorp
• engage in office politics or gossip
• expect HR to get rid of any problem except YOU
• quit without a new job lined up
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Find a cardiologist and ask for a stress test. You're probably fine, but this establishes a baseline EKG that can be compared to when you go to the ER because your chest feels funny.

Same for other tests, e.g. CT/MRI/blood.

Scan your DNA for genetic issues you can mitigate (e.g. high cholesterol).

I alternate between wanting the person at Apple TV who made captions turn on for ten seconds when you back up 10 seconds either to die in a fire or to be celebrated for one of the top-10 genius QoL ideas ever.

I swear it's a 50/50 split.

Yeah, I can be a bit moody.

1. How low-level/bare-metal knowledge can lead to massive code perf optimizations.
2. How evolution f@#$ed humanity by giving us multiple beehive-like niche roles that we call "psychological disorders" and what we could do about it now that we've started to understand genetics.
3. Birbs are adorbs.
list 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep

1. Game design is still a nascent and vastly unexplored field, fettered in its growth by financial incentives & imperatives
2. Capitalism is humanity's toxic gf
3. The many reasons King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is an amazing band
1. How we think by interacting with the world
2. How cooking can teach you the history of the world
3. How to make (almost) anything (digital)

It cracks me up that, 𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺, in 𝘴𝘰 many ways, the first contact I've had with Zuck's AI is an unsolicited DM with a 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯 attempt to sell me something he'll use to spy on me and everyone around me to make him and his techbros richer.

And I can't block the sender.

Anyone else notice their memory decaying to the point that they can only remember the names of things to the first or second letter? I think autocomplete has done a major number on my ability to remember stuff.

I don't usually like posting a snap of someone else's post when I don't even know where it came from, but, my god, this is so painfully true. They really, really don't like it when we're able to do what they want us to pay them to do.

It's gonna be so much fun typing in and MFA-ing all of my login deets again after finally kicking Chrome to the curb because of this manifest V2 bullying they're doing to make more money with YT ads! I just love times like this!

Did I mention I'm trying to stop complaining and be more positive? 😅

I made a terrible mistake in trying Takis. Now I have to resist overeating Takis for the rest of my life.

Woe is me.

@maxiboch.bsky.social Hey, just in case you don't go to That Other Site anymore (not uncommon), I wanted to poke you and let you know I replied to your question about the optical illusion you noticed when scrolling past those couch pics. I'll quote myself in the next post:

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know:
openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac...

I'm not super happy to have a Big Bang Theory character in the first spot, but otherwise this works for me.

Well, the Oblivion remaster looks great. Unless you look at the characters. But otherwise it looks great. But the characters look bad. But otherwise it looks great. But I dunno about the characters. But otherwise it looks great. But— 1/∞

Do you work at a tech company?

Send this to your hiring people.

For god's sake, go back to on-site interviews where you confiscate their electronics and monitor what they do.

Leetcode has always been BS.
