One of the sequels "Maelstrom" has some incredibly prescient descriptions of the Internet as this overwhelming useless medium that was taken over by bots and ai...back when llms started to take off and post everywhere I'd alw

Loved the node up podcast, especially the episode on databases. He was always a great presence on there. Played a big roll in getting me back into hobby programming after I finished my undergrad

Hahaha I thought of this immediately when I saw the article title. I fell asleep on the train a few times and ended up in Ome or Okutama when I was living in Tokyo after a long night out. Ironically Okutama was/is still one of the mo

I thought this was an incredible well executed/engineered art/commentary on using an incredible amount of technology to create a similar....likely sub par experience to getting a deck of cards for <10 dollars I love it!

Godot is an amazing project and when learning it from an excellent Udemy course (below if interested) I was shocked at how often I was impressed with the design/consistency and vertical integration of the development experience. Truly

I remember this being an incredible book when I read it back on my moto droid phone in 2009ish on Kindle app...time to listen to it on audible. The biggest thing I remember is it invoked some deep thoughts from me on what is conscious and

Hahaha funny seeing you @fzakaria here, knew I recognized that name! We worked on a hypemachine scraper a long time ago 12 or 13 years ago, glad to see you are still around writing great software and interesting articles!

I don't think there has been a ton of iteration on it, but did you run into any specific problems or bugs or is this lack of recommendation based off caution against adopting something that is not being iterated on? Just asking becaus

I have been wanting to play around with drone swarm simulated behavior, does anyone know of a sim that would let me do something like this with 10 or so drones?

Came here to post almost this exact sentiment. I am not sure why but in college I checked out the Peace War and I largely credit that book and a few others for getting me back into reading. A couple years ago I decided to order a first ed

I came here hoping someone would mention this, it's really strange and for a while I had just attributed it to the Air Force base traffic or Tampa International nearby, but it keeps coming up. Always interesting to learn more

I just dove into this the last few months working through a Udemy course on building a vampire survivors clone in Godot 4....highly recommend (here is the author talking about it https://youtu.be/Yd-sndQnWIo?si=yWU9WJ2roSVlM

Just signed up this seems like it will replace some docker containers I have running on a free tier of fly.io dumping into a supabase free tier. Very cool thank you for sharing!

This book is great...I am a big fan of the rifters trilogy also by Watts. They have some great fictional speculation on the Internet and how it's chaotic mix of automated agents tearing at each other that really reminds me of what coul

Do you have any good resources on how to make consistent characters or art styles? I have been meaning to dig into it for a while. I'm sure it's a combination of prompts and image2image training....been thinking about building a

I feel you...this describes a lot of my github. I find I burn out after I get the fun technical part done and it's a viable proof of concept. The polishing going to release it to others is a high burden. I recently have been building s

I have been using refine for ~3 months. It has been a great experience and has finally let me (as primarily a low level C or server side deno/node JavaScript dev) crack into making an awesome real time front end. I am using refine wi
