Los mensajitos que ponen en las AIs en plan "organizando los hechos, pensando...." me recuerdan a los textos de coña que ponen los videojuegos al cargar como "comprando ladrillos" o "rellenando barriles de cerveza" sólo que aquí, en vez de hacerte sonreir lo que buscan es engañar

How are still people believing that scrolling a fixed width text at 60FPS is a hard problem in the year of our lord of 2026 baffles me

Sorry for bringing content from the other site, but this is just too good.
This is the unhinged way they use to draw text that somehow make it very hard for them to draw text on a screen at 60 frames per second:

What are the wildest video game promo events you can remember?

Things like game reviewers being brought out to the gun range to shoot a .50 cal or SAW.

Well, it's been a while since I made new year's resolutions, but this will be an exception. This year I'll cancel my spotify account
This is genuinely, actually disgusting. I quit Spotify years ago over the Joe Rogan shit but this really should be the last straw if you’re still using it. Apple Music, and Tidal both pay more per stream than Spotify and offer comparable catalogs.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

1. These companies continued to advertise on X as Grok generated nonconsensual sexualized images of kids (and adults).

We contacted all of them for comment. All 37 either declined to comment or did not respond.

At least 37 major companies were advertising on the platform this week, a Popular Information investigation reveals.

I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...
Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

He conseguido que a una trabajadora se le reconozca, nada más y nada menos, que 539 horas extra no pagadas. Lo interesante es que considera como tiempo de trabajo todo el tiempo intermedio transcurrido de un turno partido que prohíbe el Convenio Colectivo de Atención Domiciliaria. Vamos al detalle🧵👇

No descartemos descubrir que alguien cercano a Trump, aprovecho la caída de acciones para comprar y luego vender cuando se ha recuperado
Trump no puede hacer esto. Ha dicho que pedirá al Congreso que apruebe una ley.

El porcentaje de vivienda unifamiliar en manos de grandes inversiones es un error de redondeo, por cierto. El efecto real de estas medidas es nulo.

El problema es la falta de oferta, no la falta de competencia.

This is perhaps a good time to mention that I attended this preliminary hearing at the start of the week, met some of the fired union members in its aftermath and have been able to review Rockstar's evidence in-person for myself.

We'll have more to share once the result has been announced.

China's High Speed Rail network has now surpassed 50,000 KM in length after opening 4 new lines. The country plans to hit 60,000 KM by 2030.

Spain is the #2 country in HSR length, with approx 5,000 KM.

Map below is a year out of date but shows how the network has evolved since 2008.

¿Qué hicieron?: usar IA generativa pero decir que se filmó con actores reales en sets de grabación reales y con plátanos reales porque subestiman a su audiencia y piensan que les creerán 🤡
