Humans are not smart enough to code at scale - language nonwithstanding. (neither are ai)

So much productivity bullshit out there. "no you need notion" "no you need a twm" "no you need a good chair" "no these 5 things HAVE to be on your desk to improve productivity". The only thing that actually affects productivity, at a large scale (once you are serious about navigating a computer quickly) is the keyboard. A keyboard that doesn't break / can be replaced with the exact same model cheaply. Losing keyboard muscle memory is the single largest nuke to your productivity over everything. not whether...

WIP "game engine" I thought i'd share, data driven text based open world sandbox RPG, inspired by morrowind and skyrim. It's still very WIP as ive been porting it from the python prototype to nim/sdl2 (went from ~21mb executable to 7mb lol). Check it out, find issues, I am currently looking for a 3d/vector artist for a logo and potentially anyone interested in writing, as I want to release a game with this sometime. That's way down the road. Email me if interested...

Anyone who is interested in sandbox rpg creation, viola. This is a little tool I made to create datapacks for minecraft that kindof spiraled out of control. The dialogue systems are inspired by morrowind and the general architecture is inspired by bethesda esp's. It also has shop creation/trading, tool repairing (in the example datapack templates), mob death tracking for rewards and quests, a dedicated quest tab for tracking them, and some other neat stuff. The export system is rather extensible though, so...

LLM's as they stand are lossy logic compression. They compress what could be a complex chain of logical / algorithmic steps into "simpler" matrix multiplication spam. They give an output thats close to the correct answer, but not quite the same, ie lossy.

Of course things change and this doesn't quite hold true with more complex LLM's that don't just directly matrix multiplication spam.

Trade FW16 for steam machine? I have a framework 16 7840HS, rx7700s, 64gb (last chopper out of saigon dont be jealous) and since I graduated, I never move it. It just sits on my monitor arm mount forever like a pc. I'm thinking about selling it and replacing it with a steam machine, and putting my spare 2x16gb ram sticks in it. I'd make a few dollars on the trade and only lose a tiny bit of cpu performance. I'm already on linux, and all my stuff is on external drives, i feel like it would be the perfect...

Been jamming to this since release a little under 2 weeks ago. Its amazing what modern tools and deep understanding can create. Au5 has been doing this for a little over a decade now; Alongside others in the scene that have been at it as long with such a deep understanding of the DAW's and sound itself, its amazing to see the progression in music as a whole. These artists, with modern tools, are capable of expressing ideas clearer then ever, shaping effects into anything mathematically possible, and turn...

some gruvbox colour schemes, following the GTK gruvbox i use (B-LB-Dark-Medium), the orange and green is from my material-gruvbox sublime text theme. i think they tie well and i prefer muted gruvbox schemes.

For the hobby engineers with money, this seems super cool. You've essentially turned one acre into several acres of playground.

how do y'all store personal information you need to remember on a regular basis? account recovery codes, bank routing numbers, etc. i was thinking encrypting a thumb drive with luks and my yubikeys' full length static password, local is really preferable. don't want my information on 12 different servers
