Hey! I can smell coffee again, thank goodness it wasn’t permanent loss.
Just keep swimming.
Don’t give up on your dreams. Go back to sleep. 😂
My sense of smell has become selective. I cannot smell any coffee. I had a bitter, warm, dark drink instead of coffee, with zero smell. I put my nose directly in the cup, nothing.
In Blueprint, it’s called “Simulation Generate Hit Events”, but in C++, it’s called SetNotifyRigidBodyCollision.
Pattern matching is fast. Thinking is slow.
Just keep swimming.
It really sucks to get COVID while having long COVID. I felt hopeful; I found a way to get my productivity back to almost 100% of my pre-long COVID condition, and COVID knocked me back. That sucks big time.
I am happy to report that an experiment with not closing tabs in Google Chrome showed that approach is not sustainable. The benefit of not closing tabs is having your context always fresh, but after 1,200+ tabs, Chrome became sluggish overall, with UI slowdowns for many operations, such as opening a tab, moving a tab, or switching to a tab. Additionally, starting Chrome took a significant amount of time, about 10 seconds. Furthermore, the benefits of keeping the context diminished after a certain threshold, because opening tabs consumed RAM, and you cannot actually review more than 50 tabs at a time.
Do we have robotaxi? Elon Musk promised them on August 8.
Hey, YouTube. Can you save me some money? Can you implement a decent way to listen to music on YouTube? I just don’t want to pay premium for Spotify, and I’m already paying for YouTube. I assume the answer is no, but who knows?
Game idea: it’s like Geometry Dash, but platforms are notes in the piano roll, and while you’re going through the level, music from the piano roll is playing.
I learned that animators color controllers right side red and left side blue. OMG, it is going to mess up with my brain big time, because in my mind, airplanes and ships are green on the right and red on the left. Right is right, so it is green, and left is wrong, so it is red.
We usually do public inheritance in C++, like class B: public A , but probably it is not necessary; we should by default do private inheritance like class B: A, and upgrade to public only if it is necessary..
Earthquake 4.4 magnitude in Highland Park, CA. I did not feel it.
Earthquakes in California make for a fun conversation starter. We can’t talk about the weather because it’s always warm and sunny, so we talk about earthquakes: ‘Did you feel it?’ ‘Yes, I did,’ and so on.
I downloaded my ChatGPT conversations - 45 MB of data. For perspective, War and Peace is 3.4 MB. I’ve read every single word of ChatGPT’s replies. I’m concerned: how much brainwashing have I received from reading every line from ChatGPT?
If you suppress people’s speech, and do not allow them to say their opinion, it does not mean they will change their mind.

That wave of long COVID or possibly straight COVID (I did not test, what’s the point? Just self-isolate) is killing my productivity. I did not work on my game for 3 days, starting from Monday, and cannot motivate myself to work on it today. I’ll rest. It’s unhealthy to force myself.

I have a proposal to corporations: instead of laying off thousands of employees, fire the executive team and rehire professional, experienced, and competent executive leaders. I don’t believe it will ever happen, though.

The problem with AI technologies is that I have a hard time figuring out what to do with them. It is a powerful technology, but I usually think from the needs and motivation, and then consider what kind of technology we need to build to fulfill those needs. For example, I want people to be happier, therefore, I’ll focus on making games. The need: increase happiness; the solution: make games. And here is this powerful technology - AI - but how will it make people happier?

You somehow messed up with your project settings in UE, and Lumen is grayed out. What to do? Try turning Forward Shading off from project settings. It is a checkbox. There is one in the mobile section; this is the wrong one. It is a checkbox. Check the box where you uncheck the tick. Not the combo box, the combo box is the wrong one. The check box.

gm. Grandpa is fine. I call him Grandpa because he is the grandfather of my kids. I didn’t sleep well; the phantom cigarette smoke was bothering me, but I feel fine, not very sleepy; it may hit me later.

I just learned that my ex-father-in-law has got COVID from his friend, and now I know the source of the phantom smell wave.
