Don’t neglect the hack from the dual marching cubes paper where they reduce the rank of the matrix for edge intersections (github.com/swiftcoder/i...). Leaving that out had me scratching my head for ages

It’s impressive, because the setting and tone are so compelling that I still want to engage with it, even though “masochistic platformer” is probably my least favourite genre to actually play

Have you checked the cable connections between the motherboard and the front ports? Usually just a loose USB header that needs to be reseated

On the other hand, basically all extant models are being trained on the contents of the entire public internet. I don’t know we can expect drastically different outputs without drastic differences in the training sets

I did the deconstruct-and-sous-vide one year, and it was a bunch of work, but it came out pretty good.
I’d love to find some good non-Thanksgiving recipes for turkey. Turkey legs are ridiculously cheap the rest of the year, but I struggle to make them not come out kind of bland 🫠

Also, like, the "Euopeans pay so much tax" is only a thing because the listed US tax rates don't include social security or medicare taxes. If you add the 6% social security and 1.45% medicare onto the US income tax rate... you don't pay a whole lot less in the US (and you don't get healthcare!)

So I guess this is one of those things where corporate doesn't want to pay for a code signing certificate for the open-source builds of their own product. Yay, capitalism.

On a whim, I tried using the official "Qt Online Installer" and that installs a correctly-signed-by-Qt-corporate build of Qt Creator 🤦♀️

The kernel kill is technically also part of gatekeeper 🫠 The easiest solution, unfortunately, is probably to resign the executable with an ad hoc key.
I’m dreading upgrading past sequoia, since this probably gets even worse…

If you want to run a 3rd party kernel extension, you have to reboot into system recovery mode, and there's a toggle to allow it there (you can also still disable system integrity protection entirely here, which... ymmv)

You still can on Sequoia, they just made the process yet more arcane... You have to go into System Settings -> Privacy & Security, and there should be an override button for whatever the last executable that gatekeeper prevented from running

So far Paul Merrell's advice to break graphs down into component features and arrange by complexity seems to be the most promising angle - youtu.be/1tgMl92DAqk?...

Ooh. Interested in this too. I started implementing graph grammars a few days ago, and oh boy, matching patterns in arbitrary graphs is not trivial

Like, presumably weighty combat was in the design brief, and then for whatever reason (but likely because physics-based combat is really goddamn hard), it got cut in favour of this. And the cutscenes were already locked...
