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.

When dealing with a knowledge graph or a rag system I keep temperature close to or at 0 and even then it's dicey.

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)

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/

My experience, not just that quote - that whole para. I definitely have fallen into the "too many things on the go" trap, trying to rein it in lately and stay focused on only a couple at a time, and trying to notice a rabbit hole before it really pulls me into a tangent.

Brent Morris @closetgeekshow.ca · 17/03/2026

and process all I did for a while. It feels like all the cognition juice in my head got squeezed out and some creative thought tasks just can't or won't happen on demand. The guy who said "It was like I had a dozen browser tabs open in my head, all fighting for attention" very much describes

Brent Morris @closetgeekshow.ca · 17/03/2026

I definitely have encountered this, though entirely on my personal projects, I luckily don't have LLMs foisted upon me at work. But the cognitive saturation and fatigue feeling is real. I tend to go in waves of giving a side project a lot of attention for a few days then back off

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

Slide: We ended up in casinos

Not by choice, but by design platforms built to extract attention, maximise engagement, and serve private profit above all else.

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.

I may end up with a react part of it especially if I hit a wall with the Python stuff since I'm not a Python guy. I'm trying out some cutting edge RAG stuff and python always seems to have the new stuff first

Everytime I start to get annoyed by the kids' new memes I remember that I got super obsessed with All Your Base memes and I was in college by then

Oh cool after decades of effort, I finally got that earworm out of my head! thanks!

"Or does it support other frontends" is what is cutoff halfway through the thought

Brent Morris @closetgeekshow.ca · 03/12/2025

Is it react only? Or does I got a hackathon tomorrow and I'll be using LLM assisted programming. going to be trying a bunch of new debugging and guardrail techniques in it, but my frontend is likely to be a more pythony flavor

that's some real nice logotype you got there - the content sounds awesome and right up my alley but that logo really grabbed me

Episodes that DMCA takedowns didn't kill are on archive.org still. I've seen copies I didn't upload on YT, for all i know some of the mixes are still being seeded on the torrent sites (I hope so, I don't even know where people go for that these days). www.tumblr.com/electrotodnb...

...and then the drop comes in at the 1:07 mark and magically we're in a fast jungle vibe. Colors mixes used to live and breathe on songs like this, cross-genre oddities that could serve as a bridge from one style to the next and I was always so starved for anything metal or rock adjacent.

YouTube video by Modestep - Topic

was still a thing because it has a vibe or even just a moment in it that I wish I could share. Modestep - Inside a Crowd is one. Guitar and vocals at start, dnb midway, vaguely metallish at the end. That turn to the dnb section (1:07) is what I wish I could share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNep...

I didn't have the patience or talent to get good at it (my live mixed episodes never quite got out of "boots in a dryer" land) and eventually, being a fake internet DJ completely broke my ability to enjoy listening to music. But occasionally, I'll hear a song that really makes me wish that Colours

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.

guessing at a compound words was probably my favorite part of german class, there was like a 60% chance you'd get it right

Brent Morris @closetgeekshow.ca · 09/10/2025

well at least it's a less lonely feeling knowing i'm not the only one who encounters this problem lol

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

Brent Morris @closetgeekshow.ca · 02/10/2025

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. 🤯

Brent Morris @closetgeekshow.ca · 02/10/2025

it looks cool - I've been using my own system based on similar concepts, but rather just use this if I could. Good to know in general that I need to check for Ona compatibility in the future. I'm more familiar with gitpod classic still wrapping my head around the new one.

Brent Morris @closetgeekshow.ca · 30/09/2025

Trying to figure out the answer to a question and stumbled on this post. You are EXACTLY the guy that knows the answer. Is Ona its own agent client or based on one? I'm looking at GitHub Spec Kit, is Ona supported? github.com/github/spec-...

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.

Brent Morris @closetgeekshow.ca · 12/08/2025

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

Writing a good design document

A guide

Eventually my ND brain will go hyperfocus on something else and I'll lose this, I want to take advantage while these game ideas are fresh in my head. I wonder if Machinations framework is what I need? Hopefully writing this helps me remember to try it this weekend lol.

I could tell you *exactly* what the vibe of it is, where the combos are, if it's built to win or built for fun (usually it was the latter). I can almost feel and visualize the game-space in my head just thinking about some of them. I want to turn that into numbers or tables or graphs or animations.

Saw my magic decks in the back of the closet and wonder if I could map out a deck. The combos, game flow, resource distribution, etc. I wonder if I'd get some sort of better intuition or insight about mechanics. I haven't played in years but I bet if I took 2 mins to look.
