Going down wikipedia rabbit holes is the closest living descendent of surfing the web.

the internet is no longer a place to explore. it is literally just five giant apps consisting entirely of screenshots of text from the other four apps.

Project Hail Mary: the hype is real. The book’s has been my comfort rereading for a while, and the movie hits all its feels. Sure winner for Best Performance By A Boulder. I give it five claws up.

@besttrousers I think part of it is that the published inflation numbers aren’t trustworthy. 2.4% is much lower than what I’ve seen in my own expenses.
English
Unemployment is 4.4%, inflation is 2.4%, but consumer sentiment is near historic lows.
The “vibecession” hasn’t gone away - and the most common explanation I see doesn’t really fit the data.

@KeyTryer Part of this is just that photorealism is what people buy. We’ve done both stylized and photorealistic games. The photorealistic ones sell better. That’s the primary reason we stay in that direction.
English
The truth is that the limitations of "traditional" computer rendering towards realism were reached a while ago along three axis:
1. Models can only be so detailed. Human modelers can only pay so much attention, which is why games moved to photogrammetry and procedural generation

Just got back to work after a week at GDC and have tons to catch up on. Claude Code combs all my main Slack channels for action items, groups them by vendor, updates my Obsidian daily note with to-dos, and adds links to each individual Slack thread so I can read the full context.

Back to the office -> two minutes continual notifications from every needy app upon booting up. You have ten meetings last week! Windows wants to update! Adobe wants to update! Notepad wants to update! Here's a bunch of Slack messages you already answered from your phone!

@AndyMasley The disconnect is that you have a fundamentally different relationship to the truth than Joshi’s readers do.

@G_S_Bhogal Autistic take. It's a test to see what team you're on, so in a way they're right. If you're on team A, any and all criticism of team B is acceptable.

And completely agree with Rowland here. What's up with these incredibly low standards for reporting? x.com/rowlsmanthorpe…
Rowland Manthorpe@rowlsmanthorpe
Just to add - like a lot of people who report on AI I get the kind of emails which make me think this worry is real. (The article is "raising concerns". I have concerns too!) But this habit of overstating weak evidence is the source of so much confusion. I met two people last week who weren't using AI because they were worried about water use
English
I've been summoned (about this article specifically). Here's a quick thread on why this is making the same bizarre moves as all the others. As Rowland said above, I don't know why so many people seem so intent to overstate weak evidence. theguardian.com/australia-news…

@dilanesper They mean net zero carbon. The carbon in the fuel came out of the atmosphere via photosynthesis, so burning the fuel does not add more carbon to the atmosphere than was there originally.
English
(The problem, of course, is that ethanol-- bio- or not-- is made out of carbon atoms. I guess they really mean that they have some way to control CO2 emissions, but it's definitely not zero carbon.)
English
NASCAR telecasts constantly mention sponsors. Sponsors are the lifeblood of a very expensive sport. So it's always "Goodyear tires and Sunoco racing fuel".
Mike Joy just referred to it as "Sunoco zero carbon bio-ethanol". NASCAR doing its part to fight global warming!

It’s alarming to hear “this game needs to make >$100M per year to avoid layoffs”, but think about how much it costs to employ 1000 people. We can’t go on taking these giant existential risks on every project.

@djwhatley Their approach was basically “we built our gameplay around what blueprints can support.” The slide is a bit hyperbolic for effect - they did write or extend a lot of blueprint nodes where needed.

there are people out here who think we're only gonna hit $100 a barrel lmao
you have no idea what is coming
Rory Johnston@Rory_Johnston
The volume of crude production that Iraq has *already* shut-in is larger than the peak of *feared* [but never realized] Russian supply loss in early 2022 that spiked crude prices above $120 per barrel.

Is this a rhetorical question or do you want the answer?

Dear game industry, What was so horrible about this and why did we get rid of it? Thanks.
