@jamonholmgren Aw man, yeah this one sucks. If you’re going to be traversing large spaces, definitely makes sense to double down on the “render relative to the player” strategy. It’s slow going but I promise it’s worth it!

Unreasonably optimistic; probably the most enthusiastic person you'll ever meet. I spend most of my time colouring in triangles.

Floating point precision gets pretty bad at 500 kilometers from the origin point 😅
Working on an origin shifting system, but it's slow going, given my terrain system doesn't support it and I'm having to do a bunch of C++ wrangling, compiling, reloading ... not the fastest feedback cycle

@awesomekling I live in the Rust bubble so I genuinely have no idea how we get perceived from the outside! What’s annoying about the community - smugness, preachiness?
English
The Rust community is pretty annoying, but the anti-Rust community is on a whole other level of insufferable.
Guys, grow up, there's more to life. 😅

@SebAaltonen It’s really great to hear you say stuff like this. I don’t know if it’s real or imagine, but I feel a pressure to learn the “real way” with symbols and not “tools for children” like visuals or intuition.

I really like visual/geometric proofs/intuition. Helps me to understand the problem better than cryptic math symbols.
Same for derivatives. x^2 is a square. x++ adds one row/column. That's 2x (+1) pieces. x^3 is a cube, x++ adds three squares (x^2) on 3 faces = 3x^2.

Here's a nice "proof without words": The sum of the squares of several positive values can never be bigger than the square of their sum. This picture helps make sense of how ℓ₁ and ℓ₂ norms regularize and sparsify solutions (resp.). [1/n]

@BioGridGame @MRidulPAncholi May I ask how? It’s a gorgeous looking sim but I’m curious where the design is
English
@MRidulPAncholi Good question. I think its mainly because the better and more complete a simulation is, the less it requires or even accommodates a player. I'm trying hard to avoid that trap.
English
Question- why does nobody ever make a game out of sims like these?
BioGrid@BioGridGame
I made the water flow data accessible to entity simulation and got some pretty dramatic results

Update: Israeli firefighters are arriving in LA today to assist with the wildfire response, I’m told.

If you can spot the bug that causes this code to never return, you're a better coder than 99% of oil painters.

@davepl1968 Hey, Dave! I love your videos and your content - it strikes me as very authentic which is quite rare. But for some reason I found the “1% dev” thing off-putting; seemed unusually clickbaity. Maybe you were just joking, but I thought you may appreciate the feedback.

@NathanpmYoung I agree this is serious moral cowardice, but I’m not sure I agree with the capitalism part. Is this not a problem in any system? Party A has influence over Party B, Party B says the right thing about Party A. What is unique to Capitalism here in your mind?
English
A recurrent problem with capitalism is this kind of moral cowardice being a solid strategy.

@TobyPhln From 1500 to 1900, the evidence was that heavier-than-air flight was impossible. It was attempted many times, it never worked. On the other hand, zeppelins and balloons empirically scale quite well...

I believe that if you understood intelligence, you could build it in software form on a $1M budget, including training. It would not need to be trained on the entire Internet, nor on the thought process of thousands of experts.

@Jay2three @AdrianDittmann Oh I love a good geocentric model joke. Thank you.
