    Looks like my phone&amp;#39;s accelerometer is borked. Pretty sure it happened when my son dropped it, apparently a thing that happened with the Pixel 7 phones.

    My favorite thing about Unreal Engine? Has to be the shader compilation. ๐Ÿ‘Œ ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Well...that sucks. Look like Blacksky thinks my account doesn&amp;#39;t exist or their OAuth is having some sorta issue.

    You ever look at the future and just want to throw up because it looks awful and terrible and awful?

    I&amp;#39;ve been doing Unreal and Unity work a large portion of my career, and looking at what&amp;#39;s coming and how companies are going to push for it, AI is going to be a MUST use. And that makes me sad and nauseous.

    I love/hate that most people do not understand how systems like LLMs work. Then they complain when it does things they want but to an extreme. Like someone said they wanted an AI to generate 59 videos, but instead it generated 500. Well, yes, that was 100% the possibility. The LLM said &amp;quot;My goal is to generate videos.&amp;quot; so it did that as many times as it could. We&amp;#39;ve not created specific reward functions that prevent unwanted behaviour.

    Well, my doctors appointment turned into my kids doctors appointment today. With one stitch right under his chin. Glad it happened at the doctors office rather than somewhere else.

    Cloudflare Pages is a nice little tool that is essentially GitHub Pages, but with better up time and you don&amp;#39;t have to expose your whole repo. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    I decided a fun side project would be to write my own AI. But instead of some tokenization system that evaluates and multiplies matrix values, it uses neurons as a concept to build information on creating single sources of truth rather than just guessing and hoping. It should also be able to learn in real time... It also doesn&amp;#39;t displace humans from jobs or steal peoples hard work only to rip it off.

    The AC went out yesterday and this morning I woke up to an apartment sitting at 79*F. Turns out part of the system that talks to the actual unit outside was fried and was preventing it from turning on. Going to be a few hours till we&amp;#39;re back down around 73-74.

    I keep seeing videos of people talking about how these games are being decompiled and rebuilt in combination with other games. And it&amp;#39;s the most mislabeled hot trash in the world. It&amp;#39;s just games with mods featuring shit from other modded games. The AI didn&amp;#39;t &amp;quot;decompile&amp;quot; anything. I&amp;#39;m mostly frustrated because I thought these content creators were better than just believing someone elses article....but clearly not.

    As much as I&amp;#39;d love to never use AI again...work forces it upon me. And I can&amp;#39;t quit because all of the jobs that would pay enough for me to support my family require AI usage.

    There are a number of development teams from a specific region of the world that I&amp;#39;ve now worked with across multiple projects, and every time they will lie to your face until it&amp;#39;s a wall that they cannot work around. It waste time and money. The amount of incompetency is frustrating. I&amp;#39;m literally 4/4 on these projects always having a huge issue we could have easily solved for them before they were 3/4 of the way done and now have to do a large amount of rework

    What good are LLMs that even with LLMs, no amount of money can keep up with the speed of stupid. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Anyone know a good CPA in Florida that can do my personal and tiny business taxes but not charge me $825?

    I was following an indie dev for a few years now on YouTube and after years, posted a video going &amp;quot;What&amp;#39;s the point of doing this if AI can do it? I&amp;#39;ll just keep making AI game videos.&amp;quot; and that was an unsubscribe. No thanks.

    Finally moved and re-setup. Did a clean on my CPU and heat sink so it&amp;#39;s a clean goop install and threw in the new RAM since it locked behind the heat sink. But then I came back and....wtf happened to Firefox? Why does everything look weird? ITS BEEN 3 DAYS!?!?

    Are there any 2D artists out there who are available to take on a small commission? I am looking for about 3 assets (1 background and 2 mid-ground elements). I am willing to pay. #gamedev #artists

    I want to extend one project I&amp;#39;ve worked on recently...but I also want to continue this little game first. Before my son gets too much older.

    I made some visibility and minor usability updates to ColorStax. I also slapped in a version number that links to a public Trello board so you can see the changes and all the stuff I&amp;#39;ve got planned for it. Also a little place for me to put in feedback/bugs people report. https://colorstax.io

    I was playing Shadow of Mordor for the first time...and it&amp;#39;s a game that punishes you for its problems. Which is annoying as hell. And more input lag than I could stand.

    Question, am I bad at using Itch.io or does their search feature seem really bad when I&amp;#39;m looking for assets? I feel like I&amp;#39;m stuck using tags but those are so limited and frustrating.

    I&amp;#39;m just exhausted from being upset about this shit.

    I found out that Pico has silently squashed pretty much all future work for their Pico Neo 3 line by migrating entirely away from their own loader to using the standard OpenXR loader. And that breaks on all Pico Neo 3s. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    God, I just heard the most BS marketing blurb EVER. &amp;quot;LLMs, their your friends, not foe.&amp;quot; ๐Ÿ˜‚

    These lyrics have been stuck in my head all day, and while I don&amp;#39;t normally listen to country (especially modern country) these lyrics kick ass in a very country way. &amp;quot;Yee-haw, fuck the law Land of the free, ain&amp;#39;t free for all Until the law ain&amp;#39;t fucking y&amp;#39;all Yee-haw, fuck the law&amp;quot;

    Anyone know how long it takes for Itch to process your business tax information? I&amp;#39;m sitting on over 2 weeks at this point and was just curious if it&amp;#39;d be a forever thing.

    I want to let you know that there is enough usage of sells when meaning sales that AI gets it wrong with frequency.

    I just had the most bizarre call...someone called me and just tried to sell me &amp;quot;Job Application&amp;quot; services to apply to jobs for me. The cheapest was $125/month for 75 applications, not even customized resumes for the jobs. I told them no thanks, and hung up.
