I’ve got it: companies avoid using buzzwords because they are emotionally loaded and may repel people or give the wrong impression. I call what I do a metaverse, and people immediately Zuck! cryptocurrency! and so on, which has nothing to do with it. So I pivoted: “I am making better Roblox”, which is slightly better but still bad. I need to figure out how to sell my ideas in two words. How about “YouTube for games”?

ChatGPT refuses to make the picture of Mickey Mouse, even though I insisted that it is in the public domain starting in 2024.

Some parking tickets for the football game cost about $1500; for this money, you should be allowed to play Rocket League IRL.

I am wondering how Microsoft managed to make the console worse in Windows 11. I thought it was rock bottom in Windows 10; I cannot figure out how to select all and copy.

My weekend diff is only 726 lines. I blame YouTube for it; 50 YouTube comments take a substantial amount of attention. Not sure how to deal with it. I would rather focus on making the game.


๐ŸŒธ Mon, Jan 8, 2024 ๐ŸŒธ

Question: What do you do with YouTube comments? I have 2 hours a day to work on my side projects; I’d rather work on the game than addressing comments, but I feel bad leaving comments unanswered. How would you feel if a bot answered all comments?

P.S. comments UI on YouTube is so bad.

The civilization has just collapsed; we have the chance to ask only one question. What is one piece of knowledge that will give people the most amount of knowledge to jump-start the civilization? Knowledge about agriculture, medicine, social norms? According to Richard Feynman, it would be this:

<< If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or the atomic fact, or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made of atomsโ€”little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.

And he proves that statement in his brilliant book “The Feynman Lectures on Physics.”

For the very first time in my life, I watched “Steamboat Willie.” I am traumatized.

For a long time, I have had a relatively healthy lifestyle; I walk every day. I drink 2.5 liters of pure water on top of coffee and diet soda. I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. I eat home-cooked food. And my lab results were always green. Until last year, I have gotten sick; so, I started paying attention to health and doing some research. And the medical field on the Internet is simply speaking hot garbage.

First, I am not calibrated to what a filter can and what is actually useful. For example, if somebody says: one gigabit HD superrange wifi wireless headphone using acoustic 3D Doppler effect Dolby DRAM technology, I immediately know it’s scammers gibberish to impress people, but if somebody says this CT scan of the brain has toxic shape, I have no idea.

So I have the way to filter that voodoo shaman cultist by asking ChatGPT. ChatGPT likes to give some rounded answers. If I ask some question about the reputation of some controversial persons like: Donald Trump or Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg, ChatGPT gives very round, very polite answers. But if it replies to you that the guy is a controversial figure in the medical community and has substantial following, that’s an immediate red flag. The guy is not a scientist; he/she’s a cult leader.

Lately, about a month or two, quite often in the morning, as soon as I wake up; I have a picture in my head: I am running up to a hill as fast as I can and it is really hard but I feel really good about it.

We should stop inventing languages in 1985; then C++ was invented. C++ is perfect.

If you have some performance-critical part of the code, you can help the compiler to optimize the code with [[likely]] and [[unlikely]] attributes.

auto f(int i) -> int
{
    switch (i)
    {
        case 1: [[fallthrough]];
        [[likely]] case 2: return 1;
    }
    return 2;
}

I kind of get it and kind of not why people are freaking out about CentOS end-of-life. It is open-sourced, and if it needs support, anyone can pick it up. Isn’t this the point of open source? RedHat said, they are not going to support it, so what?
