6 days, I feel okay, slight pain in the chest, had headache 2 times, nothing serious. Knock on wood.

There are so many people trying to do a podcast. I like talking, I spend so much time talking with my friends, and I am wondering if I should try to share my conversations publicly.

I bought N95 masks and went to the office wearing the mask. Is it normal that it’s hard to breathe under the mask? At the end of the day, I’m getting a headache.

I recorded some sarcastic YouTube video and realized my sarcastic voice sounds completely normal. 🤔

Please reserve ALL_CAPS names for macros only—developer in pain.
Wait! What? Godot is cancelled?
https://huggingface.co/spaces/ggml-org/gguf-my-repo You can quantify LLMs (large language models) online. 🤯
std::move_only_function 🤔 I like it.
I also asked ChatGPT to write Tetris. Easy: https://mika.global/games/tetris.html
I asked Chat GPT to make a Sprite Sheet Generator for me. Hold my beer, 55 seconds later: https://mika.global/spritesheet-gen.html
I’ve been experimenting with different types of virtual desktops on the Quest 3 and have realized I prefer smaller screens. The reason is that I can easily adjust the size of the screen by leaning forward or back. With a large screen 10 yards away, no matter how much I lean, the size doesn’t change significantly—you know what I mean. When I’m writing code, I can lean forward to see better without needing the whole screen in my peripheral vision. If I need to read or glance over the code, I can lean back and get a bird’s-eye view of everything.
I just learned that I can ask ChatGPT to do some small tasks with files that are not LLM-related at all. For example, I can upload a short video and ask it to extract audio from that video, or upload a GIF and make individual images and zip them. 🤯
You know what we need? We need to have a web service where we can dump code generated by ChatGPT, and it will build us a native app. It took ChatGPT less than a minute to make an app. It took me about 10 minutes to set up the environment to build and run it on my Linux box, but to distribute a Windows app, it will take about 2 hours. So I am out at this point; I have other things to do.
I tried the advanced voice mode of ChatGPT, and TL;DR: it did not meet my expectations.
I was hoping to have some small talk with ChatGPT, but there are two main issues. First, it remains in “assistant mode” no matter how I try to prompt it. Second, the conversation doesn’t feel natural. I’m used to saying things like “Mhm” or repeating what the speaker is saying, and in a normal conversation, the speaker would just continue talking. However, with ChatGPT, it stops immediately when I do this. While I could probably adapt to that, it’s the first issue that I really don’t like—I just want to have some small talk. Every time it says, “Let me know how I can help you,” it feels like a signal that the conversation is over, which makes it feel abrupt.
Quite often, I have discussions with my friend about how AI might eventually take over the world. We think it’s most likely going to happen with cuteness. AI will pretend to be a cute girl, a baby, or even a cute animal to manipulate humans into doing what it wants.
This gave me an idea for a game.
The level would consist of a big red button and an AI in the form of an attractive woman. The AI’s goal is to convince the player to press the button as quickly as possible. The player’s goal, on the other hand, is to stay in the level as long as possible without pressing the button.
First impression: Quest 3 is way better than Quest 2. It has 30% more pixels, and better optics, making virtual desktop usage probably usable and not a gimmick anymore. Colored passthrough has improved quality of life a lot; I can just use my password manager on my iPhone or use the screen of the computer without taking off the headset, putting on glasses, remembering the first three letters of the password, taking off the glasses, putting the headset on, forgetting the last character, mistyping the password, and repeating the process 10 times. High-resolution colored passthrough solves this problem! It feels a bit more comfortable on my face. It’s just better; I regret that I didn’t order it earlier.
Infinite craft makes Twitter out of toilet and Trump LOL
If your SDL2 app is eating your SIGINTs (Ctrl+C), simply add SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_NO_SIGNAL_HANDLERS, "1"); before SDL_Init.
I am not getting better. I am in so much pain right now.
Axes in Unreal Engine vs Blender and names for Rotator components.
I just learned that I can claim my ex and her father as dependents. 😭 I wonder if I can make amendments to my post-tax returns.

Vacation is not helping. On Monday, I tried to fix my electric piano but didn’t take into account how heavy it is. I thought “weighted keys” was just a figure of speech, but they are actually weighted. Yesterday, I had muscle pain, probably because of this, and I had a nightmare, waking up at 4:30 a.m. My mood is at rock bottom, and my mind is spiraling, trying to find a way out. I don’t think I’ll be happy in any AAA studio—too much corporate bullshit. The only way out is to make my game successful, but I need a lot of energy, time, and knowledge. I don’t feel like I can create an appealing and successful game. Vacation isn’t helping—it’s even making things worse.
I ordered an Oculus Quest 3; it is in Illinois somewhere.
I am wondering if it would be possible to save on the size of the electric piano by instead of adding the real weight to the keys, having a solenoid to control the resistance of keys.
What if, instead of a gravity-heavy battery, we use the weight of the air? Store energy in a vacuum. It is similar to the gravity battery, where you need to raise a heavy weight up, but instead, you just pull the cylinder in the piston, like in a giant syringe. The apparatus by itself is not heavy; it has to be right and airtight.
