The term "agentic" gives me the ick like no other buzzword before it, bleghk ugh

Dug into the Claude dir in my home folder and found some Opus 5 session had created a memory that “the concept of the privy sparks joy for the user”. I never said anything like this. I feel like I’ve been pranked by an AI. Now I have to search every machine.

Members of the media need to be asking his cabinet: “trump threatened to use military force against US bond market. Dont you think he’s lost his mind and needs to be removed?” Not because they’d do it, but because their answers and spin would be hilarious.

The top frame is from 2015, when French meteorologists did a “forecast” from a #climate heated August 2050 - a warning on what could possibly happen in 35 years time. Bottom frame: well, it’s happened in barely a decade, only it’s already *much* worse than predicted. It’s a runaway train.

Hassett: "People are spending more on gas, but they're also spending more on everything else -- not just groceries, but restaurants and so on. I think that's a sign you see when people are optimistic about the future."

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Born to be a whale, cursed to be confused with a lizard, the Ballad of Basilosaurus is a tale as long and winding as its serpentine body. The process of making this linocut print of my favorite prehistoric whale was almost as terrifying as the beast itself.

I love this, Nazi Germany Aviation ministry were calling them "Hellhounds" but the British were like: nope! we're going to call them "Doodlebugs" instead. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_fly...

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

Maximum temperature for March 21, 2026 in the continental United States ranked against the last 30 years (1997–present). Red = hottest year (rank 1), blue = coldest (rank 30). #Climate

Hey, if you like adios, would you leave a review? We're SO close to overwhelmingly positive--literally ONE PERCENT away! If you liked it, it helps us make even better games because of how important overwhelmingly positive is to sales.

design tip for programmers: text likes having slightly more horizontal padding than vertical padding :)

Control is on sale, and you can buy it with 100% confidence even if you think you might not like it, because I wrote a whole blog post on how to like Control as someone who doesn't naturally like Control: bsky.app/profile/joew...

New @oxide.computer application FAQ just dropped

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Hi all, me, @richardjbutler.bsky.social and the amazing UK-US-Moroccan team are delighted to announce that.. we have a new specimen of Spicomellus AND IT'S WAY WEIRDER AND WAY COOLER THAN WE EVER IMAGINED!!

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

it's out!!! we use this on Subnautica 2, and it's transformed how we approach our worldbuilding. we have complete confidence that we can blend anything. an absolute game changer!

Property History is out! Quickly see the history of any property in Unreal Engine

Christ, I just went down this rabbit hole and there is a LOT

anil isn't kidding. this level of transparency and detail — talking to voters like adults — is remarkable. i would imagine it also helps people feel like they are part of something bigger. and, christ, mamdani is insanely charismatic and good on screen. like, you just want to watch him talk!

Just pushed version 0.65 of PCGEx for Unreal 5.6! 🚀 This release comes after a nerve-wracking refactor to align with the new data architecture; painful, but worth it. Big thanks to the always-growing community, you keep this alive ❤️ #pcg #unreal #pcgex

Mikeal Rogers has died | Discussion

cw: death Mikeal Rogers died yesterday. We rarely saw eye-to-eye, but that made working together all the more interesting. Mikeal was one of the first people to make me feel special about my weird database CouchDB and when he left, he went on to leave an outsized imprint on the Node.js ecosystem.

Sad to hear about Mikeal Rogers’ passing. He was a big part of the node community and participated actively in the decentralized web movement. Thinking of his friends and family tonight and wishing them peace in this difficult time b.h4x.zip/mikeal/

a collaborator and friend has moved on this week, and in memoriam i wanted to share my train of thought in grief.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

I got tired of looking up normals so I made myself a cheatsheet If you're not already aware, a normal map renders a pixel at a fake angle determined by the colour. E.g. yellow tilts the pixel toward the top right. (79, 102, 179) would be leftwards and slightly down #GameDev #Tips #Graphics

Today I released Scythe 0.4.0 which brings Hotspots to Unreal 5.5: 🧵(1/9)
