Sometimes I play with the idea of starting a company which makes really nice electronics that feels as little “tech” as possible. Ie where the user only have to interface with “tech” when absolutely necessary.

Has anyone come up with a negative meme name for the “big beautiful bill” that has caught on? I haven’t heard one.
Seems like basic gamesmanship failure.
A single small area light on the back wall is shooting photons into the scene, bouncing through the colored glass dragon and hitting the walls and floor. This is showing a trace of the path of each photon.

Sponza scene, illuminated by 'physical' photons shot from a point light inside a colored glass dragon.

The photon debugging view is working pretty well now. I can navigate the scene to look at the paths, bounces and final photon positions - along with a preview of their impact on the scene.

The best answer to worse is better:
"the smart money isn't on building the best product - it's on being the default option when the underlying tech finally works."

A great time capsule of the "future of programming" space from one decade ago. Lots of familiar usernames, lots of projects that are still running to this day. Also fun to think about all the things that happened shortly after this thread.

This week: YouDoYouBuddy is making a successor to their game Lead Haul, gosh look at those elevator animations.
Check out the original Lead Haul too, also made in LÖVE! youdoyoubuddy.itch.io/lead-haul
I find this one quite mesmerising, and it's not horrible on my eyes.

One thing that makes machine code hard is poor error messages. An emulator helps a lot there.

Should LLMs be used to review papers? AAAI is piloting LLM-generated reviews this year. I wrote a blog post arguing that using LLMs as reviewers can have bad downstream consequences for science by centralizing judgments about what constitutes good research.

No, no constraints on prose. Even the distinction between code and prose is an invisible bit.
The caps are a stylistic thing influenced by reading Christopher Alexander.
