I wrote a little beginners guide on #pico8 and #picotron math. It's a short read going over the most common applications of percentages, distance functions, linear interpolation, sin, cos and atan2. Big thanks to the PICO-8 community for giving me feedback on this! #gamedev #tutorial

Here's a step by step guide to stop Chrome trying to use the 4GB local AI model it secretly downloads: 1. Go to chrome://settings/system and disable "On-device AI" 2. Go to chrome://flags and disable all the flags in the 2nd and 3rd images. 3. Delete the model folder from your Chrome user data.
Screenshot of Chrome's Settings menu, showing the system sub-menu with the "On-device AI" option that's enabled by default. Turn that shit off.Chrome's Flags settings menu (chrome://flags) showing the following features you need to disable to prevent it using the local Gemini model:
1. Enables Optimization Guide On Device
2. Prompt API for Gemini Nano
3. Prompt API for Gemini Nano with Multimodal Input
4. Writer API for Gemini Nano

(list continues in next image)List of flags to disable local Gemini model usage in Chrome continues:
5. Rewriter API for Gemini Nano
6. Proofreader API for Gemini Nano
7. Summarizer API with Performance Preference
8. Summarizer API for Gemini Nano
9. LiteRT-LM for On-Device AI

Set all of these to disabled.

As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it. You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result. Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

I can relate a lot with this. The struggle between making tools and making games is real, but it's definitely manageable if you pay attention, and also very rewarding to do! And there is also a lot of middleground: you can assemble a lot of smaller tools to make something that works well for you!
