isnt this true for early adopters of most technologies? I recall a lot of early docker adopters built out there own orchestration prior to swarm and basically cut off their ability to update.

I never got _great_ results with Cinestill unless I was shooting at light sources. I shot some 4x5, the density gave a little more clarity to play with contrast but not enough to offset the cost. But the 35mm never really clicked for me.

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).

Zach's general point is good, but LLMs are not that thing that caused this: the mass availibility of uncurated media on platforms has existed prior to LLMs. We are just in a constant trend of "1000s of channels, nothing to watch." LLMs might accelerate that somewhat, but the trend is long running.

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.

Double Fine's docs have some close interviews with modelers. And i know Supergiant Games put out a bunch through conference talks (there is one recently covering their switch from using models baked as Bink Videos to actual 3D models).

Not particularly exhaustive, but The WoW Diary has some details of how world of warcraft's model system was set up (like shared uvs for armor). The doom engine book also has stuff about the level geometry, but I don't think it covered production per-say.

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:

I don't love to say this, but I think Jai's delineation is a much simpler version of what comptime languages are trying to achieve.

This is also one of the reasons I bounced from LISP. The macro stuff is cool and extremely powerful, but one of the reasons Racket is popular* is the language-directive nudges a model of separating language-level concerns from programming logic. (* for a lisp)

Logan Davis @doing-fine-thanks.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I know certain language get _close_ to having them be the same, but having to keep a mental model running of "is the like I am reading a runtime behavior or a comptime action" is a fairly significant cognitive load. C++, as usual, is the worst at this (sort of soured reflection imo).

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.

i was recently reminded that shortly after that intro, you are asked to look around so that the game can invert controls if you need as a diegetic beat. Just so extremely good.

Its certainly not a perfect film, but flattening the entire thing in a "war is hell" movie and wishing there was more vivid depictions of a city being sacked leaves more questions about the critic than answers about the movie.
