I have an interesting thought: ChatGPT, in its current state, may actually help people improve their communication skills. Since ChatGPT can be somewhat limited in understanding, it requires clear and well-written input to comprehend. This mirrors the skills necessary for effective human-to-human communication. TL;DR: If ChatGPT 3.5 can understand you, most likely other people would understand you as well.

Is the ‘Do-Re-Mi’ song from The Sound of Music 2 semitones flat? 🤮

Modern Game Engines are forcing the development in the waterfall style, the asset pipeline is so rigid it is forcing developers to build the ‘PROCESS’ around it. My dream is to be able to easily make small tweaks at any stage of the game development.
I don’t like when services ask for my birthday; can they stop doing it?
Today, I learned that I do not ask “why” questions often enough. For decades, I was implementing the OnClick event on mouse button release. Then, I watched a video (link below) where John Carmack asked the “why” question and realized it is better to implement the OnClick event on mouse button press. This is good knowledge. I was doing it wrong for multiple decades and apparently never asked that question. What else am I doing without asking “why”? How can I find these instances in my life?
Did you know you can drag-select in Unreal Engine by holding Ctrl+Alt and dragging the mouse?
Would you trust a guy who created a tech (software) company with “open” in the name, like OpenCV, OpenStack, or OpenBSD, and later said he meant “open” as in available to the public, not open source? Would you trust that guy?
If shampoo Head & Shoulders worked, they would go out of business. Therefore, Head & Shoulders does not work.
Multiple times I considered setting up a keylogger on my laptop for the convenience of having a recording of everything I typed. However, I didn’t trust myself to be diligent enough to clean up the log files that would inevitably contain my passwords and other sensitive information. TL;DR: I’m probably going to opt out of having AI record my screen all the time. The convenience of recalling events is outweighed by the hassle of remembering to remove sensitive information from the recording.
If you need to scale faces in Blender and it’s kind of working but not exactly, try using Shrink/Fatten (Alt+S); you may get better results.
I want Scarlett Johansson to be the voice of AI. Please…
I wonder if in the future, people will crave current artifacts in media similarly to how people now crave the crackling sound of vinyl discs, the noise from old radios, or film grain. Imagine people craving MP3 compression artifacts or AI-generated image artifacts, and we will have special filters that mutate human hands to make them look “authentic.”
Oh, Twitter is X now.
I should practice for the technical interview next week, and I am playing around with AI image generation.
Similarly to Llama.cpp, there is a stable-diffusion.cpp, which allows you to generate AI images purely on CPU—perfect for “image generation on potato computers.” Since it’s written in C++, it might be super easy to integrate into Unreal Engine. What a great time to be alive!

So, I have got sick. Running nose, watering eyes, sneezing, itchy throat. I have got that sick first time after I got COVID last year in March. I thought I had gained a superpower from my long-COVID to resist any infection. My body definitely became more resistant to infections but not bulletproof.
I am actually hopeful. It is getting old, waking up in the morning and the chest pain slowly waking up with me. When I am sleeping, there is no chest pain; it only starts when I am awake.
Something different, you know, like when you are debugging a bug and trying all different things for hours and nothing is changing, and suddenly something changes. It may even become worse, but you are celebrating because something changed, which means you are making progress.
Same thing, I was not sick for more than one year despite long-COVID, and who knows, maybe my chest pain will go away? Who knows.
Tesla is embracing their failures and selling the cracked window decal for the Cybertruck.

Hey, next week is a technical interview with Meta. Wish me luck.
I realized that in the event of a zombie apocalypse and the collapse of civilization, we don’t need super-smart AI; we need super-knowledgeable AI. If we can ask factual questions and get accurate answers, that would be good enough. How do you start a fire with this, this, and this? What plants are safe to eat?

SpaceX can make an offer to install Starlinks on aircraft; I think it’s a pretty promising B2B idea.

Solar energy, harvested using solar panels, is essentially fusion power since it originates from the Sun, which is powered by a fusion reaction. 😲

It seems that SFW and NSFW are merging, and they both are becoming NSFW. I am pretty sure nobody watching content in the office tagged as SFW.

Git should change the defaults to clone with recursive submodules by default. I am tired of typing --recursive

AwesomeBump allows you to author textures. Yesterday, I played around with it a bit to create a normal map for the granola bar static mesh.
