I think having infinite "personalized" art to mindlessly consume would feel very lonely and sad

I watched @doublefine.com AF documentary videos on loop while writing my undergraduate thesis. I'm absolutely thrilled to get to watch this AF progress while writing my PhD Dissertation (in game studies no less).

on the flip side, there is no "music era" as described here. There has always been more music than one person can listen to just as there has always been more games than anyone can play. Actual issue is that we rarely have so much access to so much of it.

was attempting to double check a @politico.com articles claim that half of Americans use chatbots. of course the study they site is paywalled but pew seems to have asked the question with roughly the same results but upon looking closer at the numbers... like come on

a pew research result claiming half of all Americans use AI but the actual survey shows that only 100 peoples answers were used to make this conclusion.

I am really excited to see what the postmortem talks are going to be on this "single 9's" era of GitHub. I have been getting this error for a day and for the life of me I can't imagine how Github could still serve a webpage if this was a problem:

Mild programming rant: I really find compile-time stuff being in-file as opposed to part of the build system to be the wrong direction. In practice it appears to create two DSLs within a language: one for runtime, the other for comptime.

So I finally got to play around with Reflection in C++26. It's very cool tech and huge congrats to all the folks who worked on it. That said, I now get why people complain about C++ templates; they really just killed all of the fun of programming for me. Just the worst stack traced I've ever seen.

Wildly disagree with this, I’m sorry. Console makers subsidize hardware so they can extract rent. An open computer is different because it can be used for anything and if they started taking that on the chin they would get people just trying to buy a computer. The Mac Mini is a good example here.

in praise of stable UIs: for _reasons_ i have recently gotten back into using Ableton and Emacs after a 10 year hiatus. its only taken about a week to catch up/relearn how to use them because those apps have such a stable user interface.

I, for research, was poking my head back into Lisps and am so sad to see what's happened in the Racket community since I was programming in it back in 2017. Really love group of folks that are structurally bound to a really awful central figure/language creator.

$Large language models (LLMs) are known to generate plausible but false information across a wide range of contexts, yet the real-world magnitude and consequences of this hallucination problem remain poorly understood. Here we leverage a uniquely verifiable object - scientific citations - to audit 111 million references across 2.5 million papers in arXiv, bioRxiv, SSRN, and PubMed Central. We find a sharp rise in non-existent references following widespread LLM adoption, with a conservative estimate of 146,932 hallucinated citations in 2025 alone. These errors are diffusely embedded across many papers but especially pronounced in fields with rapid AI uptake, in manuscripts with linguistic signatures of AI-assisted writing, and among small and early-career author teams. At the same time, hallucinated references disproportionately assign credit to already prominent and male scholars, suggesting that LLM-generated errors may reinforce existing inequities in scientific recognition. Preprint moderation and journal publication processes capture only a fraction of these errors, suggesting that the spread of hallucinated content has outpaced existing safeguards. Together, these findings demonstrate that LLM hallucinations are infiltrating knowledge production at scale, threatening both the reliability and equity of future scientific discovery as human and AI systems draw on the existing literature.$

I think Titanium Court (by @apthomson.bsky.social) is going to be an example in most game dev classes I teach moving forward. Great example for mechanical design, art, economy of reuse, and what unique writing does for/to a game. Also thank you @plante.bsky.social for putting it on my radar.
