The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World - Wikipedia

Finished reading this collection of essays from David Graeber today. Nice read overall I think.

One of my top book recommendations from this year if you are into anthropology and world history.

Rebecca Heineman - Wikipedia

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.

Fuck cancer.

Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Today we’re releasing the vinyl of Is This What We Want?, the silent album from 1000+ musicians protesting the UK government’s plans on AI & copyright.

New (silent) bonus track by Paul McCartney.

First I'd just want it to do grunt, mundane and boring work well first if possible, please.

From my time living in the UK, I think the phrase "forewarned is forearmed" is one that has resonated with me over the years.

I've thought about it again today.

8020Ds in this case! Agreed though! I think Genelecs have been always looking nice.

Home office standing desk with monitors, display, microphone, mouse, sound card.

Been rearranging my home office desk for @afectivo.bsky.social operations.

Was able to get rid of some cables and simplify my setup. The MSI curved monitor is great and I was lucky to find it during during Black Friday.

Constraints are everywhere.

Money, time, memory, computing resources, energy, legislations, personal boundaries, laws of physics, etc.

Constraints drive creativity and innovation: they set limits for what could/should be done, and they also keep us grounded.

I love duets and crossovers like this. It's part of our soundtrack for this Sunday.

In case you are wondering, it was non-trivial low level streaming code in C++.

Sonnet 4.5 seems to be good with certain use cases that were hard for code assistants before.

I have to admit that I've been using Claude Sonnet 4.5 (through Copilot) in a code project lately and it has helped with some work that could have taken me longer.

Still, I think it was helpful because I had at least a rough idea of what to ask and I was able to point to the problems I was having.

Toxic positivity - Wikipedia

I've just read this article on Wikipedia to remind myself that I'm not going mad share.google/pZy4ooCe7nMU...

"Thank you for your persistence and for pushing me to find the correct, documented answer. I am confident this solution will work for you."

"I am confident this is the final piece of the puzzle. Thank you for your patience."

"This should finally resolve the issue. Thank you for your immense (...)"

Absolutely. Knowing and learning about the users of the tool it's being made, is a critical part of the process.

I've found that in the games industry this is usually better understood by technical artists who have previous art experience.

Sadly less common for engineers/programmers in my exp.

This might sound odd, but I think an engineer designing a drill, at the very least should know how to drill.

How are they going to test the drill or know if they are making a good drill?

(Sure, they could always delegate.

Not really talking about drills here, as you can imagine).

Makes sense, thanks.

@ednewtonrex.bsky.social Hi Ed, I know it's a sensitive topic but it'd be great to hear your take on @EA and @StabilityAI partnership.

Curious about what you think and what it could mean to games development.
