Actual useful application of AI: Filling out tedious parameters for Source Engine flex animation data.

The commented out bits were filled in by GitHub Copilot 😎
Would've been slow to plug all of this in myself.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Normally you’d have to manually do the weight painting and stuff yourself, I extracted the original data from Roblox’s mesh format.

"the left's growing hypersensitivity" my dude they are canceling hundreds of millions of dollars in grants using CTRL+F

Thought I'd seen the dumbest, most ignorant take on Bluesky last year, but I was wrong. This person is living in a world that only exists in their own mind.

As far as I can tell, the author is not even on Bluesky, so they've just fantasized what must be happening here.

It might seem crazy that so many left-wing thought leaders—and even entire media brands, such as the Guardian—would walk away from huge followings on X in exchange for a relatively tiny audience of like-minded souls on Bluesky. (The site’s total user base is well under a tenth of X’s global following.) But the move made sense as an expression of the left’s growing hypersensitivity to ideas leftists find offensive. Having emerged from the intersectional hothouses of academia, many progressives today view policy disputes through a therapeutic lens: They see themselves—and the marginalized groups they claim to speak for—as victims of trauma. The solution to that trauma is not rigorous debate. Quite the opposite; they need protection. Exposure to dangerous speech could threaten their mental stability. So progressives now treat opposing ideas not as errors that need to be rebutted with facts, but as dangerous contagions that must be quarantined.

Yeah you have to have access to the domain’s backend panel.

Fortunately it hasn't been too difficult to refactor the C# code to work with this. It's just been... irritating. And I hope this is the last time I'll ever have to do this lol.

Max ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @maximumadhd.github.io · Mar 16

In reality the top-level constant is Roblox's own internal reflection system (i.e. ClassDescriptor and PropertyDescriptor) which themselves are static and don't have any expectation of parent/child hierarchy to their properties. It's all defined at compile-time.

Objects are just Instances without any hierarchy or name. But they still have properties, and now suddenly I have to re-route all of this serialization code I've written around the assumption that Instance was an eternal top level constant in the equation of properties.

That was never true.

Max ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @maximumadhd.github.io · Mar 16

When Roblox introduced the Object type and made it the new top-level class instead of Instance, it threw a lot of chaos into serialization... which is now starting to manifest with the rollout of binary serialization for Content properties, which support pointing to Objects.

I feel deranged writing code like this outside of Roblox HQ in my own C# library. Interacting directly with reflection feels like forbidden witchcraft, yet it just works™ here.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Some cool fake locomotion stuff I did for Murder Labs. You can walk forward/backwards and strafe side to side and it'll dynamically adjust the walking animation to it!
