"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

This isn’t a “peace plan.” It’s a blueprint for Ukraine’s capitulation. If implemented, it would turn this pro-Western, democratic nation, which has been courageously resisting Russian aggression since 2014, into a Kremlin colony. wapo.st/3XcRot6
Opinion | Ukraine needs Russia’s frozen $200 billion immediately, Europe
With Trump seeking Kyiv’s capitulation to Russia, now is the moment for decisive European action.

As a fan of Edwardian farce and ancient epic I object in the strongest terms at the need for real characters! Unless "real" is meant in a very broad sense. Evelyn Waugh has way realer characters than PG Wodehouse, but who do you *really* wanna read?

I've been working on a little prototype in c++ lately and I think it's the most game dev fun I've had in years. I've never felt this connected to the project when working in a bigger game engine

So once you get past minute one he clinically disassembles the USA. But what strikes me is the start, where he explains that he is simply not able to make videos about fucking radios right now. It strikes me because he's saying basically what everyone in my community (artsy queers) has been saying.

As an example of the performance, Activision's Caldera map, with ~30k meshes and millions of polys is about:
* 60 ms/frame in 0.14;
* 45 ms/frame in 0.15;
* 9.1 ms/frame in 0.16 (with all my PRs landed).
By way of comparison, Blender won't even load the glTF file, it's so big.
