@jamonholmgren Reading the replies is painful lol
Are you using a grid system or something like that? Something I was always curious about with origin shifting is doing updates for far away entities. Does their origin shift, too?

Devs are … fun.
Every reply is either:
1. You should do origin shifting (the thing I literally say I’m doing in the second paragraph)
2. Wow what a dummy just use 64 bit floats / integers (sigh…)
3. Wow that’s actually hilarious, leave it in (best replies)
Jamon@jamonholmgren
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

@OwengeJuiceTV saying this like shit like axiom haven't existed for years and the primary focus of almost all minecraft players is to make as many farms as possible so they have to play as little of the game as possible.

Oh sick now I don’t have to-

Play the game I love anymore.

@masadfrost You were not “offended by what I said”. You are just making use of a platform that handles emotions, wrapped by a Zig implementation of human consciousness. People are saying that we (consci) actually have emotions and can be offended. We’re just using an overhyped API.

Bun is not running GC at all. I want to remind everyone that Bun is not running JavaScript at all, it’s just a zig wrapper around JavaScriptCore that provides access to the platform. People around are literally thinking they made JavaScript engine because of tweets like this

@masadfrost “You” didn’t go to sleep. The nervous system actually does sleep. You’re just _triggering_ sleeping. I feel very strongly about this. You aren’t doing anything when you “decide to go to sleep because it’s past your bedtime”.

@ScpLore @XavierLamarWar2 @TheKerfont @lucks_eterna Wouldn’t you consider a “lore mistake” to be an actual, blatant, contradiction of established fact? Like, saying they did House dirty doesn’t mean they contradicted anything, that is just where they went with it.

@XavierLamarWar2 @TheKerfont @lucks_eterna …his invention in front of his eyes after 200 years of searching for it. It’s not the same when House loses his temper because of the mild insult which resulted in him pushing away the one person which existence is tied to the drop of the nukes.
English
@TheKerfont @lucks_eterna For example, House was turned from a smart businessman to a bumbling buffoon who made several crucial and uncharacteristic mistakes. Like, spying upon Cooper but missing him taking the Cold Fusion from Hank in his own casino. Or even pushing Cooper away from him because…

@dummdidumm_ A lot of TS is "huh?? this is a bug." and then you start reading GitHub issues, pull requests... and once you leave that rabbit hole, you understand why it's this way, but not feeling much better about it.

@jnnnthnn I think it's because they don't want us to know the pkill command once they send the total global dominance signal to it

my latest conspiracy theory is that the reason they keep changing the name of the lobster thing is because they want to force us all to set one up just so we can keep up with adding its name to the muted words list

@lordvictor Games were also much, much cheaper to make, less complex, and took less time to make.
Actually making a AAA game now is so expensive that one of the strategies done to make it even remotely viable is to release them earlier and patch as you go. It’s just the reality of things.
English
You know, games used to be literally written to EEPROM and could not be patched, then sold on plastic media to machines with no internet connection.
They weren't *perfect* but they weren't usually barely-functional garbage either.

@RetroSpaceGame Interesting thing I believe hl2 does is check what animation to play based on if you were going to hit something when you clicked, so you can play whiff vs hit animations. Much better though!

The old wrench was kinda meh...
But the new one is inspired by the crowbar of HL1, and honestly, we just can't stop waving this thing around. (sound on!)

@morew4rd @SebAaltonen Now, a neural renderer for game state is more practical and maybe we will end up going towards that, who knows.
English
@morew4rd @SebAaltonen imo, even if you go for the full AI approach it’s simply inefficient - you don’t actually need a 4090 for a good game. it would be better for an AI to actually write the game code and create assets, and then you play that.

Gamedev investors don't seem to understand tech...
- Genie 3 has <3 min of persistence. Then it forgets what happened. Environment could be completely different when you return. Games requires persistence. This is a few minute hallucination.
- Doesn't support interacting with anything, NPCs or enemies. Did everybody sell their stock when Unlimited Detail videos arrived? Was supposed to change gaming too. Games need to be interactive. Static world generation looks nice, but is not a game.
- Physics interaction seems similar to screen space particles. Erratic and not precise. Makes sense since the tech is basically a video generator. I don't think it can handle collisions of objects that are not currently visible.
- It must be expensive to run, since you need the $249.99/month model and are limited to 60 second play time (and it rate throttles you). Most likely runs on a $30k+ Nvidia B200 or similar.
- Rendering is 720p 24Hz. With extreme hardware requirements. 50x less pixels than 4K 144Hz.
This is super nice tech for virtual experiences (Unlimited Detail was eventually used for that purpose too), but I don't see a clear path for this kind of tech becoming a game dev tool anytime soon. I would buy the dip.

@Tyler_McV Everything _should_ work. Until it doesn’t. Linux is always a battle with typically small problems - often things you can’t google, either.
However, my thing here is that Source tooling was built for windows and so a lot of fun mod stuff might be kind of hard to use.

if I were to switch from a 3080ti to a 9070 xt, would I be able to translate my workflow over to linux?
honest question, I'm sick of windows

This is a fairly common sort of setup for people who legally carry on a regular basis. Many carry extra magazines. I don't see anything abnormal about this loadout.

Trump: "This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers? The Mayor and the Governor called them off? It is stated that many of these Police were not allowed to do their job, that ICE had to protect themselves — Not an easy thing to do! Why does Ilhan Omar have $34 Million Dollars in her account? And where are the Tens of Billions of Dollars that have been stolen from the once Great State of Minnesota? We are there because of massive Monetary Fraud, with Billions of Dollars missing, and Illegal Criminals that were allowed to infiltrate the State through the Democrats’ Open Border Policy. We want the money back, and we want it back, NOW. Those Fraudsters who stole the money are going to jail, where they belong! This is no different than a really big Bank Robbery. Much of what you’re witnessing is a COVER UP for this Theft and Fraud. The Mayor and the Governor are inciting Insurrection, with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric! Instead, these sanctimonious political fools should be looking for the Billions of Dollars that has been stolen from the people of Minnesota, and the United States of America. LET OUR ICE PATRIOTS DO THEIR JOB! 12,000 Illegal Alien Criminals, many of them violent, have been arrested and taken out of Minnesota. If they were still there, you would see something far worse than you are witnessing today!"

@fligglefloop @SebAaltonen @pickover If this was true, it would mean that at some point in pi it would switch to e’s digits and continue that way forever.
I think that would also mean that some finite constant would let you transform from e to pi (or the other way). Which isn’t a thing

No reason two infinite sequences couldn’t contain themselves. If they tried hard enough🤣

@valigo It was an email from the AI Village, which is an experiment - AIs interact with each other independently with computer use to accomplish goals.
