I just really like polygons.

AI coding tools are powerful but we mustn’t let our own skills atrophy polymonster.co.uk/blog/ai-atrophy

Speedrunning the Vulkan triangle in C. No reference or docs. Success on my 4th attempt. 2hrs 10mins 493 LOC #vulkan #speedrun youtube.com/watch?v=ulvD3r…

I've been working an music discovery app for record diggers. More info on my blog: polymonster.co.uk/blog/diig youtu.be/orp7-q3D72I?si… #screenshotsaturday #vinylonly #CrateDigging

Ah well, at least we’ll all be dead soon

@Flav_Bateman I want to know the origin of spurs on ket. (Beehive Tottenham)

Got to go ain't he?

@DemoOrDie @leonard_coder @lycium @mike_acton Yeah AVX on Xbox and spu stuff on ps3… I did use some ppu intrinsics, I was more talking here about just general CPU code struggling from cache misses

@polymonster @leonard_coder @lycium @mike_acton you used the ppu? :)

New @mike_acton meme format, RIP Drake

@leonard_coder @lycium @mike_acton I didn’t learn assembly back in the day, was taught OO in uni and worked on an engine that was full of cache misses on PPU and no one I worked with really knew how to optimise it, so this talk was very helpful for me at that time

@polymonster @lycium @mike_acton If you had chance to learn programming using assembly back in time with simple CPU, "data oriented design" would just be a buzz word. Tbh the colored shirt is the only surprising thing of this talk to me :)

Hello darkness my old friend.

@thope_xyz Yea exactly! Time step is very important for character controller

@polymonster Was very satisfying when I saw them confirm a bug fix in my timstep

Having fun with making a little fps character controller with #sokol #screenshotsaturday

@FreyaHolmer @LinkedIn I can’t imagine anything worse than generative AI derivative LinkedIn posts

using people's content for AI training without their consent is incredibly gross @LinkedIn. at the very least it should be opt-in instead of opt-out

@NickADobos Ok great, I’m on board. What have you made and released with AI vs what you could make solo?

I am 100% on the opposite side of this I dont need "true understanding" such a thing doesnt exist I will skate, surf & compose on the tippy top of the tech stack. I command an army of ai Hadouken warriors. I hate the code. I want apps. The experience & story of human + machine

@SullyOmarr Show me some good optimisations with diffs and captures / profiles…

i take it back finally figured out what you use o1 for literally just through ALL your code into it ask for - refactors - architecture updates - optimizations and it will iterally just 1 shot it all...

@ImpossibleScott I am very interested in geometry detail and LOD techniques, it’s a hard problem to solve in the general case, would be interested in digging into and understanding in more detail what you’re doing. Looks great and congrats on announcing ✌🏻

@SpursOfficial Sell the club. Dissolve it. Refund me my lifetime of misery. U absolute joke of an institution

Thomas-Asante gives the hosts the lead. #COVTOT | 1-0

@tehTrunk And then maybe there could be some discourse as to why it’s happening, I doubt they care if ppl are strolling down the high round with ENIC out banners but if they lose their precious revenue then maybe they will do something about it?

@tehTrunk It’s frustrating that football success is secondary. I was thinking of ways to protest and I have decided this season I will not buy food or drinks at the stadium at all and just turn up for KO and leave, if everyone did this an match day revenue drops they would notice

The reality is, under Pochettino, Tottenham reached a point, through careful planning and a bit of luck, where we genuinely could have achieved something very special in footballing terms. But instead, we doubled down on our commercial interests and let it all go to shit.
