@Annabeledhcu This video deserves an award for being the first dumb craft video to make me laugh.

I've been out of a job since January and this pretty much sums of much of the advice I've been given.

"I don't get why you won't take the manager job at Panda Express. Just walk in there and give a firm handshake. That's how I got my first job."

We need a slur for this type of game.

This game will make you feel like a child. 😁 #XboxShare #Mixtape

@upstatefederlst Or they could focus on Finn like everyone wanted in the first place.

Decade too late. Carrie Fisher's gone. Harrison Ford is 100 years old.

RUMOR: Disney to Remove Star Wars Sequel Trilogy From Timeline to Resume Focus on Original Characters "If true, this would be one of the most dramatic franchise shifts in modern Hollywood history."

@1ssve Yes. I've been out of a job since January and I'm almost completely broke. At least I don't have to deal with his bull crap anymore.

@johncrickett Natural language is so ambiguous that it gave birth to legalese and medical terminology. These are areas were ambiguity can mean life or death.

"Nobody reviews compiler output, why review AI code?"
Wrong. We do review compiler output. Godbolt exists. Disassemblers exist. Anyone doing serious performance work reads what the compiler produced. The premise is false.
But the analogy itself is flawed. It compares two things that aren't comparable.
A compiler takes a formal language as input. Languages with grammars and semantics defined precisely enough that "what does this code mean" has only one answer.
An LLM takes natural language as input. Natural languages are ambiguous. "Write me a function that handles user input safely" has a thousand valid interpretations and a thousand more invalid ones. The LLM picks one. You don't know which. Unless you look at the code.
Compilers are built from specifications and designed to meet them. The output is the result of a defined translation. When the output violates the spec, it's a bug.
LLMs are built from whatever was in their training data. There is no spec. There can't be one, natural languages have no defined semantics that map to code.
Compilers are semantically deterministic. The same input produces output with the same behaviour, every time. LLMs are not. Partly by design and partly due to hardware variance, batch size, inference order, and floating point operations (and no setting temperature to zero does not address those). All of which can push the same prompt to produce different code.
Compilers complain loudly when the input is nonsensical. LLMs fail silently, producing plausible-looking, but wrong code.
We trust compiler output because the trust was earned across decades of use, with millions of engineers using the same tools. Early compilers were reviewed heavily. Hand-written assembly was the default because trust hadn't been earned yet.
We're at the hand-written assembly stage with AI. We may never get to the trust-the-output stage for the reasons explained above.
If you’re a software developer, you should own what goes to production. The compiler analogy is a way of skipping that responsibility.

@mask_bastard @EliasToufexis Pull whatever strings you need to. Adam Jensen deserves closure.

What’s a game that ends on a cliffhanger you want to see resolved?

@ale_delcele @seratinejill There is also Jennifer from Clocktower (1995). Point being there is no way Jill can hold this title.

“Jill Valentine is recognised by Guinness World Records as the first playable female character in a survival-horror game. She paved the way for female leads in the genre by fighting zombies as a S.T.A.R.S. member”

@spinelessaisha I make individual pieces in Blender, that snap together on a grid, and then I have an addon I made for Godot that bakes them all into a single mesh.
English
i can't wrap my head around asset management in game dev
like if i'm working in godot, i wanna make a castle that my game takes place in, do i make this in goodt? (bc it does have the tools) or do i make it in blender? or do i only use blender for small detailed assets? what do

@fritolaysia There used to be a grocery store in my community run by Indians and literally everything in the store was past the sell-by date.

@cmuratori @realchrisolin I've moved to Linux as my full time desktop. I haven't booted into Windows in a couple of months.

@realchrisolin We've moved as many machines as possible to Linux, and I highly recommend it.

Just want to make sure I'm reading this right: Microsoft rewrote the run dialog with performance "top-of-mind", and the best they could manage to do when putting up a single text box was 10fps?

@DelusionPosting The delusional part is anyone making six figures as a car mechanic. I'd love to do it for a living but it doesn't pay enough.

@catgirlprostate I am still using the HL-2270DW that I bought over a decade ago.

@RepEliCrane That's nice. Too bad it'll never make it out of committee.

Today, I introduced the End H‑1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026.
This bill pauses the program for three years and implements significant reforms once it resumes.
The federal government should work for hardworking citizens, not the profit margins of massive corporations.

@LundukeJournal The way it is written, even the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) would require age verification since it supports the basic functions of a computer.
English
It is truly preposterous, the number of Operating Systems which the new Age Verification laws would technically apply to.
From the latest Federal bill (HR 8250):
“The term “operating system” means software that supports the basic functions of a computer, mobile device, or any other general purpose computing device.”
In other words… FreeDOS would need to implement Age Verification under this bill.
An open source MS-DOS clone which doesn’t even have the concept of “users”.
Truly insane.
foust@jephfoust
@LundukeJournal according to this bill my still-working apple powerbook 170 running mac os7 will need to have a shoehorned age verification forced into it. this thing doesn't even have user authentication, just turn it on and chill.

@elonmusk The cost of everything is ultimately tied to the cost of energy. Drive down the cost of energy and watch life become livable for millions.
