I’m convinced that AI as we know it (machine learning systems, LLMs etc) isn’t conscious in the way that humans are, because if it was, we wouldn’t be constantly having problems with it being susceptible to prompt injection, being racist, repeating misinformation, etc etc

lmao, the Storage Access Framework is not only good at making apps sluggish and app development suck, it introduces security vulnerabilities too. what an API

someone should burn this to a Video CD, to obtain… “.dat boi”

ok so for the last day or so I’ve been listening to the “Laboratory Level” music from “Jazz Jackrabbit 2”, a game I haven’t played, on repeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cO4SxcqXfI

it’s just very enjoyable to listen to. does anyone have recommendations for similar video game music

being an emulator developer will test your patience

I don’t enjoy being mean to people, but given so many people try to get in contact with me, I start to… prioritise the ones who did their research

why is this the logo of “babel”, the piece of software for translating between javascript dialects. it has serious… audio-visual dissonance??? it feels almost… edgy, like it thinks it’s called “rebel” or something. but uh, no, this is a compiler named after the tower of babel.

so… I thought that the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons had terrible accuracy compared to an Xbox One Controller.

but now I discover the Joy-Cons were probably blameless, it’s the result of a bad interaction between touchHLE and this SDL2 issue: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/7479

please watch this 10-minute video about “writing a 3D game engine like it’s 1995”

it’s very good

some ported touchHLE to Android: https://twitter.com/ciciplusplus/status/1636135360957755393

this is super cool!

(though I haven’t seen this person’s code yet so, uh… please don’t expect too much about when this might be merged. it’ll probably also be even harder to use than the Windows and Mac versions lol)
