C’est clair !

Je le savais historiquement mais c'est toujours aussi dingue de voir à quel point on bascule vite dans la dictature

The EU is fighting Elon Musk's Starlink on at least five fronts. From blocking access and boosting rivals to drafting new rules aimed at undermining the tech mogul's growing dominance in the space business.

"On ne pouvait pas diriger une cité en fonction de ce qui plaisait au Guet. Ce qui devait plaire au Guet, c'était que tout le monde passe son temps à la maison, les mains sur la table, là où on peut les voir." Terry Pratchett, La Vérité. www.huffingtonpost.fr/politique/vi...

Hey friends, I'm in a tough spot - If you know of anyone needing a Technical Artist please hit me up. I've about a month to find an apartment and things are getting pretty real. Open to anything! 17 years experience in the industry, and know enough #UnrealEngine to be called "the Unreal Girl". <3

Ah apparemment le sas arrière de Zvezda est définitivement clos (des microfissures y créent depuis des années une fuite d'air dans l'espace, à un rythme qui s'accélère). La fermeture du sas règle le problème, en un sens. Mais les cargos russes devront s'amarrer ailleurs.

LLMs don't think, they detect patterns and generate answers from these. When human coders do it, it has a name: cargo culting. (thank you @falanwe.bsky.social for that). Cargo cult is classic in development, but you can't go very far without understanding what you're building, how and why.

Un homme raciste qui lit Mein Kampf (je vous laisse deviner le bord politique de l'auteur) commet un attentat raciste en visant exclusivement des personnes racisées. Et on me demande à moi si je ne suis pas responsable de la violence ? Mais on est où là ?

OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.

Got a little annoyed at a tool again - a lot of blender addons trying to add WASD style movement were 1,500+ lines and getting it wrong. Unreal-like movement with panning, WASD nav and camera smoothing. controls configurable. GPL.💖 #blender #unrealengine #gamedev 🔗 codeberg.org/shaderwitch/...

L’extrême droite annonce qu’elle « purgera » le pays des éléments qu’elle juge indésirables car hostiles. Le plus inquiétant est que cette purge commence déjà en fait.

Listening to the Behind the Bastards on Elizabeth Holmes to refresh myself on how she’s a delusional narcissist and a pathological liar who successfully conned a lot of people who thought they were smart, which I think will be useful going into You Can See Everything tomorrow.

🤮

So here we have far-right militia attacking protestors and when the protestors defend themselves, the police charges them... Montpellier. These images are crazy and show where France is at regarding its fascist turn.

«Neither ‹The Times› nor any of the other publications which amplified its inaccurate reporting have corrected their false claims, or acknowledged that, out of a total of four formal investigations into Arday, not one has substantiated the charges of plagiarism against him.»

Le télescope spatial Euclid cartographie la distrubution de matière noire dans l’amas de galaxies Abell 2390. Il utilise le phénomène de lentille gravitationnelle faible et la légère déformation de l’image des galaxies situées derrière lui pour reconstituer la distribution de cette matière noire.

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — G. M Gilbert

Encore un préfet en mode Yolo... "Le maintien de l'ordre ne se gère pas avec un sourire et des bisous". Et bien justement SI. La désescalade et l'impartialité des FDO sont indispensables à un maintien de l'ordre. Ce genre de propos est la preuve de la confusion entre MO et RO, qui est dramatique.

Beaucoup de réactions (et de malentendus) suite à ce post (sûrement rédigé un peu vite) : Je ne viens pas de "découvrir" la dérive autoritaire de notre pays (et pas seulement son maintien de l'ordre policier). Je pense l'avoir suffisamment dénoncée (notamment les lois d'exception après les

Le racisme tue car la violence des mots précède toujours la violence des actes. Dans le contexte actuel, je pense que tout le monde serait donc bien inspiré de faire preuve de retenue dans le choix des mots, ce qui n'a pas été le cas ces derniers jours. Loin s'en faut.

More than a million of you watched our live orchestral concert, BALLADS of the UNDERWORLD, featuring music from Hades, Hades II, and more!🎼 It's now available as a full album on Spotify, Apple Music, and other services! Thank you for listening.🎵🙏

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

Ukraine is far from perfect, but through their fight against authoritarism and the strength of their civil society they are giving us more than we can ever repay mickryan.substack.com/p/what-has-u...

So for all the big gamedev accounts here that made knee jerk statements exclaiming codev processes to somehow always be bad: Congratulations, you have convinced the gamers to hate on innocent people! Yes, you do that too! Complain about the journalist writing a bad headline instead, as many do.

the story goes like this

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

Omg seriously...

Pour ceux qui savent.

I hope Democrats are ready to blow up the system with campaign finance and transparency reforms. Trust is already at an all-time low. We don't get out of this mess without rebuilding trust.

Writing tie-ins is *a real fucking skill* and anyone who sneers at the people who do it can go piss up a rope. You think it's easy to write an entire novel to very specific order on an almost impossibly tight deadline? And have it be satisfying to read? Motherfucker, *you* try it. See how you do.

Free newsletter: In July, Apollo Economist Torsten Slok said that "AI better work out, or we have a problem." Facing ever-growing high-interest debt, negative-EBITDA AI labs and $200bn+ in warehoused GPUs, that's exactly what the AI industry has. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-had-bette...

James SA Corey wrote the last book in the Star Wars expanded universe before Disney bought it and consigned the whole thing to Star Wars Legends. It was a giggle.

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.
