I live in the south and ended up seeing a southern rock band a month ago. Literally waving flags as part of their set…They finished one song by riffing on killing in the name and the crowd ate it up and I was like uhhhhhhhh

it’s such a backward argument but the fewer comments means I don’t spend a lot of time on each post and just move on with my life. I like it for the most part.

My understanding is you don’t actually need to update the copyright year… if anything it’s kinda misleading if you only have the current year

the thing I remember most about the catacombs was the smell and how hard it hits you and also how quickly you get used to it 💀

“thank you, doctor”

“no sir, thank you!”

I know this is gonna sound annoying but I just use vim for stuff like this. Even notepad++ has a macro thing too, right? My coworkers keep saying how much of a productivity boost it is but all I see it do is mess up stuff like this that only takes a few seconds in vim to setup and I know it’ll be correct every time

but the aspect of it that is most AI-like is the chat which is from LLMs.

It may have started 7 years ago, but it isn’t a new or different technology than LLMs which are impressive but not actual thinking AI despite them presenting it that way and people interpreting it that way

I keep seeing clips of this one specific robot and it just seems like it’s an LLM. The comments on the clips are always people seemingly really believing it’s thinking and is alive.

This robot makes me think there is a percentage of the population that believes we already have true general AI and I can see how people like that would think having it do a commencement speech was a good idea.

The university probably got paid for this, right?

yesterday a guy tried to wave me to cross then started angrily raising his hands like “FUCKING GO!” completely oblivious to the car that flew past his left side in the opposite direction

goldeneye 64 was pretty innovative even compared to its pc competition at the time. It suffered from performance issues, but the xbla remake or just good emulator settings fix that and really make it shine

Sonic & Chill

I can’t stop listening to this specific one, it’s been months and everyday I listen to it at work

these methods don’t account for all the variables that reality has. People across all boarding groups will be late, there will be people that need assistance from flight attendants, there will be people who want to switch seats to be near their family, there will be people who can’t sit in the exit row, there will be people who need to use the rest room, there will be people who’ve never been on a plane before.

There is no great, full proof way to handle it because people are unpredictable

I flew around 26 times domestically last year and most of the flights ran out of space. It’s really common for the airline to ask for volunteers to check their carry-ons. If you aren’t in the first 2/3rds of people on the plane, you’ll likely be forced to check your carry-ons.

This problem has gotten worse over the years because airlines have increased the prices for checking your luggage so many people opt to bring carry-ons instead.

but not everyone wants to buy yet (younger people, people who want flexibility, people who know they are moving [only in that city for school], etc).

People don’t want to buy a house because it’s either unaffordable, unavailable or the process takes too long. If you eliminate those aspects of home ownership, people wouldn’t mind and maybe even prefer owning a home for short periods of time.

I’ve used Zulip a couple times and thought it had some neat features and worked well enough. What’s so bad about it that justifies a reaction like that?

I’ve found whenever people complain about rust code they can only point out how it’s different but not why it’s worse and I can usually point to a reason why it’s better.

to be fair, I get sometimes it’s difficult to pinpoint why something is bad and even “being different” can be a legitimate criticism on its own

that’s a lot of assumptions about what these people are thinking

I’ve been mostly making games for fun and am fairly risk adverse so am planning on sticking with a stable job and making games in my free time.

It’s discouraging, but it is reality. I still want to try, but definitely not putting more than one egg in this basket.

I’ll admit I’m knowingly doing the following haha

hopefully it’ll at least be a positive experience and I learn something from it

I’ve been doing itch and jams for a little bit, even managed to win one once. I’ve learned a lot but can’t shake this feeling that I’m just making free games for itch. You might be right though… whatever kind of sea of games I think itch is, the mobile sea may be a lot worse.

ooph, I just started trying to make a mobile game in Jan 😬
