A good reason to use colour rather than color in your code is that colour has the same number of letters as both albedo and normal so you can align your code better.

I've been using a MS Sculpt for the past ~9years as main keyboard, and I fear when it dies I won't find a good replacement. tried others over the years and always come back, it's great. Should probably find a store that has stock for a spare while I still can, just in case.

"ChatGPT consumes a lot of energy in the process, up to 25 times more than a Google search. Additionally, a lot of water is also used in cooling for the servers that run all that software. Per conversation of about 20 to 50 queries, half a litre of water evaporates – a small bottle, in other words."

AI is predicted to consume twice as much energy as the whole of France by 2030

Training GPT3, took 1,287 MWh (Megawatt hours) of electricity.

A few days ago I suddenly had a desire to port Super Mario 64 to the Gameboy Advance.

I quickly realised that a straight port was going to be impossible given that the GBA:

• Is about an order of magnitude slower than the N64
• Lacks a GPU or any sort of hardware parallelism (you get about 10 cycles per pixel, per frame to rasterise everything in software, and that's it)
• Has no hardware support for floating point maths

So, I guess I'm rewriting the whole thing from scratch.

Wipeout on the Playdate 🙂 looks really cool with the dithered wireframe graphics IMO

Here is the code - still very much a work in progress:

If #DNS is so great, why is there a .int, but not a .float, .char, or .double? 🤔

Testing how narrow levels could be for "Flight Assist Off Race"

The ship colliders are very forgiving but even then this level pushes it to the limit.

But I promise it's doable 😂

The free test version will be distributed to Skytesters tomorrow (29th of April). Check out the itch page for more details: https://vikpek.itch.io/flight-assist-off-race

The Descent 3 Source code has been released: https://github.com/kevinbentley/Descent3

> This is the latest version of the Descent 3 source code. This includes the '1.5' patch that Jeff Slutter and Kevin Bentley wrote several years ago. At the time, it worked for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

UPDATE: First it was thought to be released under MIT license, but that was just the default LICENSE file Github added, which was later removed.
Now it's officially under GPLv3: https://github.com/DescentDevelopers/Descent3/issues/32#issuecomment-2067716480

The recent attempted XZ Utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094) may not be an isolated incident as evidenced by a similar credible takeover attempt intercepted by the OpenJS Foundation, home to JavaScript projects used by billions of websites worldwide. The Open Source Security (OpenSSF) and OpenJS Foundations are calling all open source maintainers to be alert for social engineering takeover attempts, to recognize the early threat patterns emerging, and to take steps to protect their open source projects.

So apparently Apple approved a knock-off of GBA4iOS — the predecessor to @delta I made in high school — in the App Store. I did not give anyone permission to do this, yet it’s now sitting at the top of the charts (despite being filled with ads + tracking)

I’ve bit my tongue a bunch in the past month…but this really frustrates me. So glad App Review exists to protect consumers from scams and rip-offs like this 🙄

dropped all google analytics/tracking code from my personal blog with umami, you can self-host, it's open-source, neat interface. There's also a hosting option free up to 10k events a month. if this goes well might change all my other stuff too. https://github.com/umami-software/umami
