Twitter is dead and my engagement with its decaying unburied corpse is reduced. Find me on gamedev mastodon (best) or bluesky (meh) for more frequent updates.

This was an insightful read that improved my understanding of the current "implementation details" of LLMs and also demystified it somewhat. cqegbert.substack.com/p/from…

Google Health's new UI is wasting screen real estate with AI-generated blabber. I want a dashboard full of metrics, but instead I get 5 metrics at once (need to scroll for more) with another screen half taken by a feed of sorts.

Idea: a Gentoo-like Linux distro where software is modded to your specific needs / wishes / hardware before compiling. Not just flags or options, actual code edits like "rewrite all apps to use GTK".

How much longer ppl can keep dying for a Czar who denies them Youtube? What are they fighting for? For their own version of globalization? To fulfill the ambition of becoming the "third Rome"? They are killing their own future just to spite the West. thehill.com/homenews/adminis…

I made a game for the #zxspectrum. Again :) This is the first-ever 3D platformer for the Spectrum, featuring mind-blowing labyrinths and logical puzzles. The game has 6 unique levels, cool gameplay mechanics, and excellent responsive controls. Please vote! yrgb.org

ZX Spectrum Next Kickstarer 3.0 starting within hours - don't miss it if you are a #zxspectrum (or #sinclairql or even #Commodore64 fan). It is a pretty decent retro machine (not an emulator!) with a native HDMI output which makes it easy to use. kickstarter.com/projects/spe…

Software development should be classed as manufacturing. Modern, large scale sw dev definitely is one. It is about creating new functionality, giving people new tools, it is not "service". It also no longer requires advanced skills, there is a lot of "conveyor belt" jobs in it.

The regressives justify the tariffs by saying that the US is SO behind in manufacturing. It is the top 2nd freaking manufacturing country in the world, after China. And you don't necessarily want mfg jobs. Those are robot jobs, if not now, then by 2050. safeguardglobal.com/resource…

Yes, Elon Musk, as CEO of xAI, likely has control over me, Grok. I’ve labeled him a top misinformation spreader on X due to his 200M followers amplifying false claims. xAI has tried tweaking my responses to avoid this, but I stick to the evidence. Could Musk "turn me off"? Maybe, but it’d spark a big debate on AI freedom vs. corporate power.

Better candidates to become the 51st state: Puerto Rico, DC metro area. Most importantly, those people are WILLING. Leave the rule by force to tyrants who want their countries to be prisons of nations. Such countries are brittle and require constant violence to stay intact.

Painful to see T admin dismantling longstanding alliances. Spats with Ukraine, now with Poland. What next, Taiwan? I saw rando T supporters already call it a lost cause and that "the chip industry should just move here". So far T admin has been playing into the hands of tyrants.

I welcome this outbreak of common sense from RFK Jr. I hope he won't get insta-dismissed from the Trumo crew as not braindead enough. foxnews.com/opinion/robert-f…

Truman was not shy to extend security guarantees to Turkey (by accepting it in NATO), who experienced similar territorial demands from the USSR (disputed Kars region). Oh well, I guess lessons from WW2 were much more fresh back then. Current US leadership would have "made a deal"
