Input Prompts is the largest collection of glyphs covering a wide range of input devices and platforms. It's also completely free and public domain. 🎮 I want it to be even better though so looking for feedback; what's missing? what can be improved? kenney.nl/assets/input...

"dont worry, we didn't use LLMs for real art, like writing, or graphics, or sound, we only used it for dumb gross useless basic shit like programming" always the funnest thing to read as a programmer, as someone whose whole career is based on code, whose handwritten library changed the industry etc

Are there any fun companies looking for a well established #fullStackEngineer and #SRE- just testing the waters here. I do have a website that somewhat lists my skills.

It has taken me a long time to realise that I was only an introvert when I was younger; due to depression and household situations. When in a good mood I love talking to people these days; having a beer with an interesting stranger is great

meanwhile i’m here saying that AI is only really an expert on software programming and shouldn’t be used for anything else, especially in creative arts

Five years since his last solo album, Sleepy Fish returns with Something Forgotten 🐟 Across 12 tracks, Sleepy Fish picks up where we last left him while moving into something new 👀 premiere (starting in less than 1 hour!) 🪼 chillhop.ffm.to/somethingfor...

Hey @natalie.sh & @iame.li I don't know who the best folks are to message, but I think it's maybe you? I was setting up the RTMP connection for stream place on my YoloBox and noticed you specifically request `bframes=0` and keyframe intervals of 1s, but I cannot configure those.

How much bad news would it be to just send up a stream without specifying those? Would it straight up crash things in a really bad way to see how it performs?

Also the latest UI change is really nice, it feels very professional - this is all in a public repo? I can raise a PR for areas with dodgy padding?

To make it easier, here's a dirty check if your overlay does suffer from regular injection by pasting the attached message into a twitch chat. If your chat overlay no longer has a transparent background and/or reloads (after 1 second or immediately), then it is affected.

Being a computer scientist who refuses to find anything about LLMs interesting right now is a bit like being a geneticist who refuses to find anything interesting about the recently opened Jurassic Park

I have found that when I get AI involved in a project I get completion paralysis. I am nervous to put it out because I am not sure if all the bits have been done, or if something doesn’t work just right. It gives me an overwhelming overhead of too many things to care about.

I think partly because AI loves to overbuild, I also don’t _fully_ understand all it has written because I didn’t write it. So then I want to understand it before I ship it, but then I just turn into a puddle of anxiety.. that part is probably just me though. 😅

Did you know I made assets? Yeah. There's a lot, all free, all human made, all fit for use in any of your projects! gameassets.com (flexing this domain whenever I can)

The Cambridge Dictionary website is absolutely littered with ads, what in the world is going on? This is almost as bad as the "speedtest" website which is slow as balls to load up due to how much crap they have on the page when you load it.

What if it's a ploy from TT and Rockstar to drum up _even more_ hype around the game. People see the leaks and are like "holy crap, some of these look dope, I was skeptical but I might actually buy it" Or it could be Netflix hyping up for their GTA VI reveal for a similar reason.

IGN@ign.com

The GTA 6 leaker has continued to release new gameplay clips, and is even running a poll to decide which video to leak next despite Rockstar parent company Take-Two's ongoing hunt for people responsible. https://bit.ly/45EF4pJ

I feel like it bothers me, more than it should, when an application on GitHub is some sort of GUI / Dashboard and provides no screenshots. Not even on their main site. Just "Download me pls.. trust I don't look like a bootstrap application from 2015"

There's an action idea for github; use playwright and some basic commands to gather screenshots for them on PR. Allows you to keep your GUI screenshots up to date and you don't need to go through the effort of doing them yourself.

I updated to iOS27 because why not, it is so much snappier! I think my focus issue was linked to the hindered CPU, in this update they tweaked the scheduler to make everything faster on older iPhones (like my 12) Whoo!

I watched Nimona with my son and oh gosh, it is so good! We found it hilarious, I liked that it had spooky vibes and fight scenes, but the most gore in it is a squirt of blood and then some juice being used to represent blood too. Music choice is fantastic too. Big fan, going to
