Lol I love/hate it when an llm or a search engine finds me a really good link and I then I realize *I'm* the OP.

As usual Anthony, cuts through the bullshit and shows why the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank is unethical and not aligned with the Canadian values our govt pretends to hold. open.substack.com/pub/theradco...

A Missile with Every New Account

For generations, the image of a Canadian abroad was defined by the blue beret of the peacekeeper, a neutral voice in a noisy world.

I was going to dump Ollama purely for performance reasons, I had no idea that they were also shady as hell sleepingrobots.com/dreams/stop-...

Ollama gained traction by being the first easy llama.cpp wrapper, then spent years dodging attribution, misleading users, and pivoting to cloud, all while riding VC money earned on someone else's engi...

This "frontier llms corrupt 25% of document content over long edit workflows" thing is kinda wild. Long in this context is 20 turns. arxiv.org/html/2604.15...

getting a new gaming pc today, haven't had one for over 10 years. It'll run everything in my library that I've lacked the juice to play for almost as long. What's weird is that I couldn't care less about it gaming uses if I tried right now. Thing I'm most excited to run is llmfit.

this point is everything like, large language models are structurally incapable of fact-checking; you have to assume everything they produce is bullshit (which is why they work with code, because code can be bullshit and still run)

When I told him about The New Yorker's very human fact-checking process, he crowed that "a lot of that is going to go away." To which I said, NO, AI means we need MORE fact-checking, because AI has flooded the web with bullshit. It certainly can't be trusted to fact-check itself, or anything. /

DOOM.css is getting somewhere. Gameplay is pretty much done completely in JavaScript, but the whole rendering is 100% CSS. This map is 768 div's with 3D transforms. Added a nice spectator view as well which is literally just adding a couple of CSS custom properties override for the rendering.

@hey.cafe you guys know if any tools for finding people on your network based on their bsky profiles? I remember using something like that to quickly port my follow list from the bird site to Bsky (or maybe it was mastodon)

This is an excellent read on impractical metaphors in the Primer in The Diamond Age but while reading it I'm thinking about LCARS which tends to be one of the underlying fictional techs that i think about a lot andymatuschak.org/primer/

It's not just that we live under private government of the monopolies, but it's private government by casinos. #Rebuild

Data exported, deleting my ChatGPT account. Yes it is because they made that deal with the DoW. According to the wrapped thing I was in the top 5%ish of users (cant remember exactly, it was very low). Bad enough that Altman is Zuckerberg minus the charisma, I'd hoped that left room for a spine.

You have to watch this devastating Congressional testimony by Aliya Rahman Aliya Rahman was the disabled woman dragged from her car by ICE several weeks ago. Everyone saw the video of her being dragged by ICE. You will be shocked, moved and may cry during her testimony. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Just under a decade ago (lol what even is time?) I used to make cross-genre EDM mixes and put em out on torrent sites and as a podcast. It was called Colours Out Of Space and probably had more downloads and listens than anything I made before or since.

BUSINESS IDEA: release your game on the 9th of October, and then you can make one of those images promoting your game with "9/10" plastered all over it, regardless of the actual review scores you receive.

ever have that thing where you are looking for something obscure online and then the only links about it you can find online are forgotten forum posts from yourself asking about it years ago? Happened 3 times in a row just now. There's gotta be a word in German or something for this feeling.

I wish I had a better understanding of what affects the usage stats on Ona (and really all of these agentic tools I've tried). My OCUs haven't gone up in like a day, I went through 120 OCUs in a few days and then yesterday used it the most yet and they haven't budged

Holy shit Ona (formerly @gitpod.io ) is scarily good at what it does. I've been trying to make a DSL, pointed it at some markdown specs, told it to turn it into a vscode extension and went to bed. I woke up to a working vscode extension. 🤯

Gemini REALLY needs an option for setting a folder to shunt all the Google Docs it exports into. At a global level and chat-specific level. Just opened gdrive and I have ~50 random docs to sort through, some of which are just later versions of the same doc. It's kind of a nightmarish experience.

GPT5 did a real good job getting me used to Gemini, it's not the same and it's not the best. But I really like some of the Gems and I really like that IT FUCKING WORKS

What is good design documentation? @grantslatton.bsky.social has a great distillation of the format: "Observation A Observation B Because B, idea C But problems D and E Observation F Therefore idea G And improvement H" grantslatton.com/how-to-desig... I kinda want to make myself a poster of it

Is there a framework or something I can use to visualize mechanical interaction in a game design? Something technology agnostic. I've been on a game designy kick of late which is nice. Strangely mechanically focused - usually in my head it's all very hand wavy. More vibes than actual mechanics.

@danielzklein.bsky.social I think the enemy movement pattern in Time Wasters might qualify as a good example for the Mechanics Opportunity: Enemy Movement Patterns section. I haven't played it in a while but I seem to recall the enemies sometimes being a clear spiral that tightens around you

@danielzklein.bsky.social I really enjoyed reading Horde Survivor Survivor. I've been designing a bullet heaven game on and off for about a year and your post is some of the best analysis of the genre I've read. Helpful for thinking through the mechanics danielzklein.com/horde-surviv...

Suddenly remembering I need to export all my Cody shit. Annoyed all over again. I haven't picked a replacement yet, going to see how free tools go for now. Like I get why (Kilo-Code's blog has a good explanation for that blog.kilocode.ai/p/cursors-50...) but also *annoyed sigh*.

Cursor’s 500 requests => “unlimited” => 225 requests

Flat-fee pricing doesn't work.

There is a serious gap in Canada's commerce ecosystem: no affiliate programs, at least as far as I can tell. The review blogs that exist are all for amazon.ca or directly on big box store websites, often with low review counts. The blogs all use AMZN because they get commissions.

A magic friggin LLM prompt: "Give me a MECE summary" MECE I've learned stands for "Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive". It's a framework to categorize a set of information exhaustively without any overlaps. I'm finding it perfect for those "summarize everything we talked about" queries

I was going to code this weekend since the fireball in the sky is trying to kill us. I need to corral my personal projects that have been kind of a mess for the last few months. But the loss of Cody Pro in a few weeks really takes the wind out of my sails. I think I'm going to mope for a bit instead

So the first principle of Amp is "Amp is unconstrained in token usage (and therefore cost). Our sole incentive is to make it valuable, not to match the cost of a subscription." I asked it to generate an AGENT.md file and it spent 16 cents to generate a 25 line kinda shitty directions file... cool
