You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

I am happy with Marathon surviving but also painfully aware that the reason the original for-sickos vision of Marathon wasn't working out was mostly the audience

Blender con is happening right now, and the next-gen Blender anim tech is basically what Cascadeur did. Remember that cool anim tool where you can arbitrarily lock bones and move the rest like it's IK but it isn't actually IK, and everything Just Works? HOLY SHIT. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2J_...

In France we had several companies openly and proudly telling union reps that their horizon for production planning was 3 months. And executives were never able to justify why they would be so stupid. They literally don't know why they do what they do

Another thing to remember on this bisexual day is that The Grungler is canonically bi. I do enjoy how it's become a term for "token cis guy who hangs out with a bunch of trans weirdos" but the original post was also about straight women being weird about bi men.

women will go on a 1st date with a guy and things will be going well until the guy casually mentions he's bi and she'll go home and start posting stuff like like 'we need to normalize being straight' and 'whatever happened to beauty' meanwhile the guy went home to play video games with a bunch of weird discord transsexuals and he named his character 'the grungler' and he keeps saying stuff like 'check it out guys, i'm the grungler'

Part of the issue is software engineers are often too focused on making extravagant system architecture and not enough on solving real problems. Left to our devices we create our own backrooms of code.

Clean Code and Domain Driven Design are really thoughtful texts that unfortunately are hard to truly understand the value and context of without already being close to the level of expertise at which they were written, and end up doing more harm than good

AI is simultaneously extremely useful in the right hands and context, and also a terrible awful nightmare in the wrong hands being naively misused to create untenable messes, and both are largely invisible outside of the software domain

I can go both ways on whether or not I think AI generated code is useful. But I have yet to see any AI generated documentation be valuable at all. It's like 10% signal to noise. It's almost universally getting distracted on superfluous details.

This is a good example of how you need quite a lot of detail of how these systems *actually* work to understand what the risks are, and how over-indexing on sci-fi can lead you a bit astray on what the future looks like

Huh, that's interesting. The Houthis allegedly used Claude to take over the Red Sea and disable Aramco oil production, and 2 days later all the American frontier labs are shitting themselves publicly about slowing down model development? Whoopsies

Very forceful statement by Terry Tao about AI and math. terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a... Note, he is not claiming the models aren't real and powerful. He's talking about how that power should be used. This, I believe, is what all AI discussions should center.
