Happy Easter

Every lengthy write-up on "lessons learned" after someone lets an AI process delete their database or all their emails reads like this to me

How I made a shooter game in 64 KB YouTube video by daivuk

A shooter less than 64kb... and it's good! I played through the whole thing and it was fun and challenging

New Year's Resolution:

"human in the loop? like.. like a hamster wheel?"

This is one of our favorites!

A wide view of the planet Mars fills the frame, shown as a curved, rust-colored world against black space. The bottom edge fades into darkness, marking the planet’s night side, while the upper portion is brightly lit by sunlight. Near the right side are three large, round volcanic mountains of the Tharsis region, each with a wide circular base and a darker central caldera, resembling shallow craters pressed into the surface. North of these volcanoes, stretching almost vertically across the upper right half of the planet, lies Noctis Labyrinthus and Valles Marineris: an immense system of deep canyons and fractured terrain that appears as pale, branching scars and cracks, partly softened by hazy, cloud-like atmospheric features. Near the center of the image, positioned between the volcanoes and the canyon system, a small dark oval appears against Mars’s surface. This is Phobos, one of Mars’s satellites. Its tiny size stands out sharply against the vast scale of the planet below.

[AoCO 1/25] Why xor eax, eax? YouTube video by Matt Godbolt

yayyy matt is doing Advent of Compiler Optimizations, go watch:

i'll just add this to my vocabulary

Big Dig Miners

surely it won't be misheard

it should be animated and uninterruptible like sl

I can confirm that deer.social does not have the same restriction. Does it happen to have a native app as well?

"like adult content and direct messaging" why are they in the same category? Will I have to do this after I return?

If i weren't an adult would that work differently while crossing borders? Like you are not allowed to do that here but you can get some porn while you travel, as a treat, Kiddo...

I can't access the chat feature in Bluesky suddenly, just because I traveled to the UK? How does this work? I can access age restricted stuff at home, and this setting is not tied to my account but to my location?

So the question is: shall I prove that I'm old, or that i'm not living in the UK?

Let’s talk about AI art.
