The other day a younger friend was excited about his first car. He started listing accessories then casually mentioned clips for the back seats. Turns out theyโ€™re so passengers can sit without wearing seatbelts.

Please, teach your kids better. Life is precious.

I'm 15 mins in, hilariously bad is an understatement, I thought this was a startup demo showcase ad or something.

Interestingly what I've seen so far would make a cool game it feels like :P

*I promise* I have depth of field ON, most definitely and unequivocally NOT because my programmer art is awful, only that it is in fact... more artful! #gamedev #indiegames

If you fully watch it, I promise I will too. I'm also sooooo intrigued about what people are saying about it.

U.S. may require visa applicants to post bond up to $15,000 to enter country The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to apply to enter the United States.

If you're from a country with a weaker economy or difficult entry requirements into the US: do not spend money on GDC. Do not book a ticket. Do not book a hotel. Do not pay for a visa. Skip that cynical for-profit extortion, or the US will take your money & spit you out.

Oh awesome. Considering the amount of time children spend learning, the problem is not what they are learning but what they are not. You know... like human communication or contact, or how to react to some not-so-positive feedback, again in a... human way.

Programming Facebook groups are wild nowadays, someone posts their idea of a fix which clearly yells โ€œIโ€™m using AI and didnโ€™t know thereโ€™s proper solutionโ€ and the comments are filled with answers so alike you can group them to which AI they used to reply.
