Do you prefer reading instead of watching? My video about why your tool UI should be customizable, and how "sensible defaults" and "best practices" do not exist, is now available in text format! rystorm.com/blog/sensible-defaults-best-practices-tool-ui-customisation Let me know what you think!

What is wrong with ‘Sensible Defaults’? And why do they make our user experience design worse?

Got a chance to check out Highguard the other day and when I realized it was basically plant the bomb mixed with capture the flag and a lil bit of BR, I was like aojdoliahsdlihuaslikdhualksjhdlkajsdlkjasd Incredible. Such a cool mix of OG fundamental FPS modes with a blend of modern flavor.

After about 3 days of work, I got DLSS to work on NVK (the open source NVIDIA driver in Mesa)! 🎉 DLSS is essentially just some launched Cuda kernels, so it was just a matter of implementing the VK_NVX_binary_import and VK_NVX_image_view_handle extensions. 1/5 (Control, 960x540 -> 1920x1080)

BF6 feels like classic bf, even down to some of the weird gotchas like shooting a rocket directly at your feet and it doing nothing at all. I swear that bug has been in the engine since at LEAST battlefield 3..... Maybe even BC. Very fun but LD is... not that great.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to? HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

I think the president just plainly stating that he's firing the person who produces economic data because he doesn't like the numbers officially pushes us into a new era where you just can't believe government data anymore.

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?

I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.

Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.

It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

Update (July 7, 2025)
We want to address recent reports regarding the status of Romero Games. These reports have contained inaccuracies, and we feel it's important to set the record straight.
• The funding for our project was pulled, and our game was canceled.
• Due to confidentiality agreements, we cannot disclose the publisher's identity, though some may infer it from public information.
• As a result, we now have to reassess the entire staffing of our studio.
• Romero Games is not closed, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that it does not come to that. Any suggestion otherwise is factually incorrect. Indeed, we were in the studio today to discuss next steps with the team.
• We've been contacted by several publishers interested in helping us bring the game across the finish line, and we're currently evaluating those opportunities.
We appreciate the outpouring of support and will share further updates as we are able.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

This is a view looking down on a portion of Saturn's rings. Find the white structures along the edge of the ring, near the top. Now look at their shadows, cast on the rings themselves just below them. Those white structures are giant towers of icy ring particles, some rising more than 2 km.

Never heard these details discussed about what a director gets paid and how and when. Never heard these details regarding Kubrick, Scorsese, or Tarantino. Gee I wonder what makes Coogler different, where this is being talked about by the media. Hmmm 🤔 wonder what’s different?
