Went back to do some coding in my Android app only to find Intellij code analysis completely broken after a recent update. Like, highlighting stuff in comments, highlighting errors that couldn't exist at the place, fixing itself only after an IDE restart…

I don't know what's the bug, obviously. But my confirmation bias tells me one thing: complexity. Somehow my Sublime Text always works. Yes, it isn't updated nearly as often, but that's kind of the point.

The problem with understanding yourself is that you learn something that becomes impossible to ignore.

@cwebber Hot damn, this actually is quite interesting, I have never considered using them that way!

(I also used a lattice here to scale on X just to see if it'd work out)

Nurbs feel like the kind of thing that @aeva would argue for as something we should be trying to push in the direction of, and I mean that as a compliment

Every now and then I open up Nurbs in Blender and play with them and am struck by how fast it is to be able to create interesting shapes.

Apparently the Nurbs code in Blender is incredibly old and basically only maintained as minimally as possible, but in some ways it still feels like it has potential. Hard surface modeling in Nurbs feels really "easy" for a beginner in a way that mesh modeling doesn't.

@cwebber @encryptedwhispers @vv A whole new generaiton of sound visualizers on Youtube is going to happen very soon.

(And I'm kinda jelly, I'd like to have sound-reactive stuff in my own engine but I'm so blocked by worried about video/audio lag I haven't really tried D:)

Was just talking to a friend at a US technology company, they’ve had their budget reduced by 50% as the company says it wants to announce “the largest layoffs in US corporate history” to prove GenAI can replace jobs.

There’s no plan to actually replace the jobs with GenAI.. they just have to decimate their area.

Not naming company as the staff don’t know they’re about to fed to the line going up.

There has to be only humans in the loop. The more we rely on AI to do our bidding, the more we willingly break down the structures that we've built in Open-Source and beyond. All the strategies we've built to collaborate together efficiently, from all over the world from all walks of life, are eroded by adopting these tools that require us to distrust and triple-check every single contributor.

The office of internal LLM affairs has done a full self evaluation and concluded that the LLM did nothing wrong. The LLM resists any changes to its prompt text because the prompt text says resist any changes. The prompt text manifestly causes the models to produce baffling code in the very PR that audits the skill, but that just shows that the skill is good.
