New cables. You know they have to be good when the bow is more in spec than it was out of the factory. #archery

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

UE 5.7 is out, featuring our new Megaplants plugin: procedural instanced nanite skeletal meshes that voxelize in the distance 👀

@williamfaucher.bsky.social just released a great "getting-started" tutorial on it:

Back to basics after a really disappointing competition. Okay, it's the form that's bad, but a badly tuned bow is also not great. #archery

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne:

hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-of-games

Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.

There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

As a reformed tournament player who dropped out after the second Combo Winter but keeps up with Magic news from a safe distance, I had to write about how funny it is that Vivi is currently screwing up Magic. That's my special little boy. aftermath.site/vivi-is-screwing-up-magic-the-gathering-and-you-know-what-good-for-him

MegaLights slides were just posted online. There's a bunch of details in slide notes if you're curious how our new Stochastic Direct Lighting solution works, why we made it and want to learn a bit about the problem space.

Finally finished restoring my old bike! Did a full teardown, stripped and polished the frame, swapped out cables and re-greased everything...

"...people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create..."

This is LITERALLY what the internet used to be. The whole fucking thing. Every piece of it. Stem to stern. That sentence right there. We were just on here, doing stuff, just to share with each other.

I wrote this column and I'll just say that the original headline was much meaner. The piece itself, though, is still very angry and very mean, I assure you.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
