Godot can blend your game with a binary payload to create a playable game for various platforms.

For iOS, this generates an Xcode project that you need to compile on a Mac.

I think this would suck for an iPad user. Wondering just how painful it would be to do the entire signing dance and integrate into AppStore Connect to publish apps directly from the iPad.

Anyone familiar with any apps trying to do this?

So I’m just catching up with this trader nonsense and I gotta say: the fuck is wrong with the EU??

Saying your app has AI feels too cringy. Saying it has ML feels too nerdy. I need Apple to pull an Apple and just give us the term we’ll end up using for this stuff

YouTube wouldn't build an app for the Apple Vision Pro, so I did! Introducing Juno, an Apple Vision Pro app for YouTube, now available at http://juno.vision 📺🥽

The bar for whether I block people in 2024 has now become “you’re vaguely annoying” and I’m not even mad about it

i know this shouldn't surprise me, but the number of smart AI people who are saying things like, "if a person can read the nytimes, it's only fair that an LLM can read it into its parameters," is mindblowing.

i don't know how copyright should work for LLMs, we probably need to figure it out since it's new, but this argument makes no sense to me because it says because people have a right to do something it should be obvious that a machine should have that right. that is bonkers reasoning.

I did some #UX consulting for a non profit in Nairobi a while ago, and in addition to various UX stuff, I suggested they use a #PWA (a simple cached website) instead of an app.

I talked to them this morning. They shipped it and are thrilled. It's SO much smaller than an app, a critical issue in rural Kenya, and it's significantly easier to get people to find and install it.

So exciting when people discover the value of the standard, unfussy web

so uh regarding that car accident I was in a month or two ago, my shin was hit by the airbag and I still have yet to regain feeling on the area that was hit.

Should I be worried about that or just embrace it as a superpower?

Glad to see that printf formatting is still biting people in the ass five decades after it was introduced.

I'll start a thread of photos from my trip, starting with the seaplane approach and landing into Vancouver Coal Harbour, because I think those are some of the coolest photos I've ever taken.

#photography #TravelPhotography #seaplanes #aircraft

A seat by a port side window, in the foreground, slightly out of focus. Outside the window, a wooded area can be seen, covered in thin clouds of evaporation in between the trees, In the horizon, the city of north Vancouver is visible, framed by the airplane's window.
The interior of a seaplane floating in the harbour, looking forward into the cockpit. The pilot is looking down towards the instrument panel, with her head turned slightly towards the right. The secondary glass display is visible, shining brightly in intrastate with the dull light from the cloudy day. Below that, some steam instruments are visible as well, cut off by the first row of seats. Outside the wet windshield, the Vancouver Harbour and waterfront buildings are visible. Outside the mostly dry port cockpit window, the docks are visible. An approach personnel waits wearing a life jacket, out of focus.
A closeup of the port side cockpit window. The pilot has her hand out through a small cutout, signaling to the dock personnel waiting. A windsock, and the harbour buildings are visible beyond that, out of focus.

I keep thinking about trying to write another zine about git -- for me git is something I feel totally confident using and I never really run into problems, and I really wish I could telepathically send that sense of confidence to everyone who’s struggling with git

A trained AI model like Llama is less “open source” than a compiled obfuscated binary.

It's a bit unsettling to see publications like Ars Technica fall for the “open source" nomenclature for AI models. If the sources are really open, show us the training data.

What people hear when scientists would say the earth would get “1 or 2 degrees celcius warmer”: “oh summers will be a bit warmer :-)”

What it really means: “there’s a fuckton of extra joules of energy stored in the atmosphere now, which will wreak havoc accordingly”

craiggrannell, 10 months ago to random

I get that Meta blocking access in the EU frustrates some people. But the takes from primarily US-based people are quite something. The EU prioritises guardrails and safety. Yes, that can sometimes lower agility. But it does mean eg food quality and safety tend to be higher. And it also means tech companies have less opportunity to ride roughshod over its population.

man why is my computer so slow?
I'm just emulating a super nintendo at 2000% speed, processing several gigabytes of games every minute, and virtualizing an entire other PC, while playing fullscreen video. barely anything!

jbigham, 11 months ago to random

threads gets a lot right -- e.g., you have an instant personal feed and audience from your instagram followers, … but, they're going make a good website, right, not just an app?

gruber, 11 months ago to random

Threads is the most fun, most interesting new product of the year, and no one in the E.U. can use it, or will be able to use it anytime soon, because their own elected officials passed a law that effectively bans it.

Nice job. Have fun over here in the library.

I just recently discovered Savatore Ganacci’s short videos, and I love them. If you’re into Absurdist cinema and like Tim & Eric or Monty Python, you might like them.
