You should do one with your usual characters, but instead of regular dialog it should just be placeholders like “<witty response>” as a meta commentary about comedic formulas.

[2026 Canada] Software Engineer, Geometry - Early Career | Roblox [2026 Canada] Software Engineer, Geometry - Early Career

roblox is hiring an entry-level geometry engineer in Vancouver, if that sounds like your kinda thing: careers.roblox.com/jobs/7558821...

They fed every possible scrap of humanity's output into a word processing algorithm, and then are shocked to see humanity reflected in the output.

Failing the mirror test.

The only cluster anywhere near me is “Taiwanese Furry Community”

Mine is also.. inaccurate

Those GLP-1 results and the adenovirus 36 correlation with obesity raises some questions about how much obesity is the cause of problems, vs. whether obesity is primarily a symptom of viral infections, which cause inflammation and other issues.

Thanks again, @en.akamig.org!

One time when creating a new surface type implementation, the mesher would only run when the file was first opened. Somehow the staff artist was still making art, by saving and reloading after each topology change or moving verts. Incredible that they didn’t just ragequit the job.

The great thing about the scarcity of crypto coins is that you can keep creating new coins and have as much artificial scarcity as you want.

Unlimited scarcity!

It’s a complicated book, especially when given as a gift. Usually the act of gifting it to someone else is not “check out this art”, it’s an acknowledgment of how the tree’s relationship is similar to the people’s relationship. Endorsement? Apology? Gratitude? Demand for gratitude? Very complicated

Folding phones should take a cue from paper sizes - an A6 phone that unfolds to A5 would be amazing.

And the aspect ratio would remain the same when unfolded

Saw recently someone 3D printed their own toe shoes, in case you want to kick it up a couple of notches

I want to live in times where all the big movies deal with the big problem - ennui at working a stable office job

"Another volumetric display! This one does away with the wildly spinning arrays of LEDs, instead using projection mapping onto a point cloud etched inside a block of glass." And yes, you can play DOOM on it. youtu.be/wrfBjRp61iY

We are currently in the 2025-6 academic year.

School teachers are not ready for what will happen in September, at the start of the 2026-7 academic year.

I predict the next magic ingredient will be.. fiber

Little known LED trivia: because red LEDs were developed first, all robots from the 60s had to be created evil

The world needs more pandan - pandan ice cream would be amazing

Art history is hard because how many different ways can you say “New Art”? We already have modernism, and contemporary, and art nouveau, etc.

I run into this when naming my files. Have they tried just numbering the arts? “Ah yes, they were an influential artist in art 7.”

Also, no exponential exists in reality. Even things that start as an exponential will taper off until they hit carrying capacity / bump up against physical limits. It’s all sigmoidal functions.

Some other things about exponentials that are very unintuitive:

The ‘elbow’ of an exponential, where things really started taking off, is entirely determined by the y-scale. I’ve seen people look at a graph and try to make sense of what was happening at that time. It’s just the scale.

AI World Clocks The current time as rendered by 9 different AI models. By Brian Moore.

This is a great visual example of how GenAI is directly usable only if you don't really care about the quality of the output. If you care, you'll need to clean it up, which may or may not save time overall

I’d be tempted to build a system that minimizes some energy and solve a linear system

Lentils, beans, cane - when you think about it, reeses is basically a health food

I thought this could be avoided by pressing ctrl-opt-b?

You could make the exact same arguments about crypto, and many did.

Another way of saying the same thing is that either you’re deeply invested in the topic and it is difficult to admit the investment wasn’t worth it, or you didn’t see value early and didn’t waste your time / effort / money

Manifold is extremely robust

I used to go weeks at a time without seeing a progress meter

This is generally not due to a slicing issue, it might be that an x-axis belt is slipping, and needs to be tightened

It seems like writing what is essentially a C++ to C++ FFI should be doable. I once worked in a project that would compile C++ code on the fly and load it as a dll
