avx 5.12 surround sound

@seandick blue sky is so cringe lol

pinky! are you pondering what i'm pondering?

@haveYouSeenGavin my advice is follow lots of people who post and boost stuff you are interested in, use hash tags, follow hash tags, make good use of filters, and take note of the times of day when people are most active as those are the best times of day to post stuff. don't be afraid to boost your own posts either, there's usually several active user peaks a day.

@haveYouSeenGavin welcome!

ok slightly more plausible dumb future: microsoft/openai puts a prompt in charge on accident. ceo credentials get leaked into a training set via "recall", some joker tells chat gpt or whatever to pretend its a high powered ceo with a roko's basilisk complex and it just kinda spins out of control from there. by the time they figure out what is going on the damage is done and the company is sold for scrap. valve buys them and finally we get what gamers really want: windows 7 service pack 2

@mcc I want to see microsoft run by a prompt. i want to see it talking karl itself to death

@mcc we gotta figure out how to inception the idea into the minds of their investors

you know if we truly were on the dumbest timeline apple would try to bring steve jobs back from the dead with ai

it's surreal watching infosec people discuss "supply chain attacks" like "hrmuph if *I* were in that position I'd have done [something substantially more awful]" as if 1) writing software people actually want to use is this wild power fantasy and 2) using that position of trust to fuck over a lot of people is somehow the obvious and natural thing to want to do instead of, like, fixing bugs or working on cool new features

i think it's cute how "supply chain attack" essentially boils down to "popular software gets installed on many machines" as both a "vulnerability" and the entire purpose of software distribution systems.

i am forever grateful that as a game developer my job mostly involves problems that are at least theoretically solvable lol

i think its great that no amount of historical revisionism can ever make sappho not a lesbian

wikipedia: even the ancient babylonians knew how to use math to figure out what the moon is up to

me: great how do i do that

wikipedia:

I just want to calculate the current direction of tidal force from the observer's earth-relative position in space and time is that so wrong

i nerd sniped myself tonight and i imagine the NSA operative who is assigned to me is very confused by the increasingly erratic and frustrated google searches for HOW DO I CALCULATE THE MOON WHERE IS THE MOON

i made some good progress on my skeleton today

i now have a python script that extracts the data i want from the DICOM files into numpy arrays and then dumps the numpy arrays into a c++ function i wrote to transform the voxel data into a ply pointcloud, which I then import into #blender and use #geometrynodes to trim the scan data down to bones etc.

@oblomov the secret here is this list is really just rattling off "what does primate like to do" chimpanzees were the inspiration for the first few items https://www.theguardian.com/science/2010/dec/20/chimps-play-male-female-genetic
