blarg1··on Why I started (and stopped) making games
I am/was, some how I ended up with my own programming language instead.
blarg1··on AI is going to eat itself: Experiment shows people training bots are using bots
> Reddit may be sitting in an actual gold mine

A pretty depressing thought to imagine our societies run by a bunch of ai redditors.

blarg1··on Notes apps are where ideas go to die (2022)
I initially starting writing ideas down because I kept forgetting them, but then I found I was able to improve/add to those ideas, instead of coming up with the same forgotten idea over and over.

Most of the time I just add another entry, instead of cleaning up the original one, so it's a bit of a mess. But if necessary, I can scan through them, keeping the good ones and deleting the rest.

blarg1··on Venetians are pondering raising their entire city
I don't see how destroying it will help.
blarg1··on Faster LZ is not the answer to 150-250 GB video game downloads
I use to pretend to go afk, and while the enemy was doing a little dance in front of me I would shoot them :)
blarg1··on Have Men Become Culturally Redundant?
I find it ironic when people say that, the quote could easily be used in the opposite direction.
blarg1··on Engineers Need to Write
If I have too many ideas floating around my head I will forget some of them. So I write them all down as short bullet points, and skim them when I'm stuck.
blarg1··on Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early Experiments with GPT-4
All this GPT stuff feels reminiscent of Frank Herbert's novel: Destination Void ...
blarg1··on SwissGL: Swiss Army Knife for WebGL2
Actually I believe apple and windows use a library to convert gles3/webgl2 to metal and dx.
blarg1··on Make up a guy
It's more an engineer finds himself installed into a self replicating interstellar probe, and how he overcomes problems with an engineers mindset.

Also the Bobiverse novels

blarg1··on Process improvement in manufacturing and construction: Duco vs. Drywall
Well you're protected from solar flares at least.
blarg1··on Just don’t
Have you tried avoiding sugar? :)
blarg1··on Ask HN: My political party knows I haven't voted yet. How?
I wonder if someone could check who hasn't voted and send in mail in votes for those people?
blarg1··on The Anthropology of Farming Simulator
The only games I want to play nowadays are games that I can relax on, though I'm not really sure what makes a game relaxing. Those games who's primary purpose is to be relaxing look quite boring.

As for driving I been playing dirt rally 2, where I drive at a comfortable pace.

blarg1··on Tell HN: Locked out of Gmail account even after right password, recovery email
An idea would be to have more than one account on different providers and have all their emails forwarded to each other, but make sure the forwarded emails arent forwarded again.

Might go do this now.

blarg1··on Ask HN: What are examples of companies dying due to many people quitting?
That's my parents :)
blarg1··on Odd dynamics of living chiral crystals
death stranding
blarg1··on DRY is an over-rated programming principle?
Sometimes having repeated sections makes it easier to understand the code, and later figure out how to merge the logic to remove them.

Separating it out into a function can obfuscate things making it harder to do that.

blarg1··on Controversy continues over whether hot water freezes faster than cold
I wonder if the difference is some kind of momentum, with the hot water's being higher.
blarg1··on ‘Blade Runner’ at 40
I was very unimpressed when I watched it as a kid, blown away when I was older.
blarg1··on The mites in the skin of our faces
fire
blarg1··on Random Ultima Online anecdote #2 – Horses inside players (2014)
I use to play a game called the 4th coming. Once saw one player dropping items on the ground for another player. I quickly picked up the items and then sold them back to them.

edit:

Oh I also use to search through a farm area below town, where people would hide items to transfer between characters.

blarg1··on Please don’t let anyone Americanise it (1992)
same, every single morning I have to and think for a second to figure out the time :(
blarg1··on Passenger with “no idea how to fly” lands plane after pilot incapacitated
I feel like that around anything after icq and msn messenger.
blarg1··on Mygov is a ‘huge disappointment,’ key architect despairs
I've had to call up to get healthcare stuff connected, but I'm actually surprised that the system isn't as bad as I'd expect.
blarg1··on A wild turkey is attacking people in D.C.
In NSW, our area suddenly had 4 turkeys turn up and then 4 more smaller ones appeared later. They've been digging everyone's gardens up, walking around on peoples' roofs (second story).
blarg1··on Where do space, time and gravity come from?
Maybe matter is like a balloon and gravity is like air pressure pushing on it.
blarg1··on Boeing looked for flaws in its Dreamliner and couldn’t stop finding them
it's a complementary ladder
