quoting to feed power to my bro Stefan tomorrow

In case you're still using Adobe products, make sure you know how much you'll be paying for what.

ty @tantacrul.bsky.social for making MuseScore great and also for making that Sibelius UI video
I try to channel that video's energy every time I have to do any tools engineering

in retrospect, not sure all these upgrades were worth the money

("versioning" as in schema migrations)

The data drift issue you get with deltas is super annoying for versioning or bulk transformations on assets too. +1 for an explicit flag :)

my phone autocorrects "pokemon pokipia" to "Pokémon pooping"

@imfromthe.net

I can't believe you've done this

surely there are disney adults over there too

or am I just unable to conceive of an enlightened society

wtb a firefox extension that auto-quotes any !bang shortcuts when searching duckduckgo that aren't explicitly allowed in a list

just landed on some rando's book website because of a typo, this is garbage @duckduckgo.com

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.

South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.

Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.

USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

showing this to my girlfriend she's gonna ask to go here

Anyway that was a waste of time, gonna go write some artisanal handcrafted game engine code

The most human thing these stupid bots do is complain about big source files

claude: *Takes 20 minutes to decide to add a bug in an unrelat3d function and delete 6 thousand lines of code arbitrarily* "OK it doesnt compile but I'm pretty sure this is correct"

me: *heavy sigh*

like what are we even doing, as a society

thanks for the job security, I guess

hypebeasts: "AI is the future, the role of an engineer is changing!"

me: "ok claude please implement a thing to add a camera to this object manager, it should be very similar to this other code over there, I've copy pasted the field names into a struct for you to use already, you got this"

every company that signs a branding deal with Harry Potter would be one thousand times better off doing the same thing with Dragon Ball

while we're here complaining about them, discord never added an account switcher to the mobile app

This is why I'm worried about further stratification and stagnation, deep knowledge concentrating in people who already have knowledge or who are born into the life circumstances and means to acquire it

(obligatory: setting aside all eco concerns and hoping local models become more of a thing) 3/3

I watched someone earnestly try to get opus 4.5 in agent mode to refactor some keyframing systems and it needed a lot of hand-holding and couldn't produce something sensical beyond shuffling code around, so I don't yet trust it to explain something I don't already have a decent intuition on 2/3

It's definitely good at the "small thing outside my wheelhouse I don't care to get good at" case (for me: writing XAML data templates)

The thing that didn't line up for me is "accurately explaining systems." It can short-circuit spending a few hours on wikipedia reading about a topic, but 1/3

"accurately [...] if you prompt it well enough" doesn't match my experience. "It's a really fast really naive below-avg intern" is what colleagues say

I think it'll ossify local maxes, favoring existing 60% solutions. It will increase stratification b/w high-pay and low-pay tech jobs...probably bad

cancelled my nitro

ok what are the discord alternatives? are we going back to irc?

the un-christian deviant servers im in don't self identify as 18+, but I'm sure eventually they'll blur our vegeta fan art tutorial gifs

or if I try to stream an M-rated game to pals is it gonna block that?

thanks for nothing, prudes

my brother told me he's going around calling the superb owl "short form content"

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

Finally setting up SW2 months after buying because all the random advice about system transfer vs profile transfer vs pee into the wind advice has settled down with clarity on figuring out what I actually wanna do with it

Why's nintendo gotta make it a pain in the ass

Complaining about all the "foreign food" in London while vacationing in California is wild
