The PlayStation Can Produce Mind-Boggling Effects@catsalad Okay team, listen, the designer told us this character needs to have a lot of complex facial expressions to sell the story. We'll need to save triangles somewhere else.
Like the background scenery?
Er, not what I had in mind.

#SuperbOwl you say?@Sheril Such a gorgeous bird!

AI is making us write more code.@mlevison Goodhart's law in action. Actually, I'm not sure it even is an example of Goodhart's law. Raw quantity of code output would never have correlated strongly with quality. What do they think they're doing‽

Imagine if no one treated life as a zero-sum game and only agreed to play in co-op mode?@eruonna The idea that basic food and shelter are things that people can "not deserve" is deeply troubling to me.

Sorry Apple fans in advance for what I'm about to say@eniko Even if you're just talking about design/UX, that's been steadily going downhill for a very long time now. It basically peaked with the original iPhone.

Is your Mastodon timeline too empty or too full?@FediTips I just glanced through the article to see how you were using the word. You even explained how you were using it and why while acknowledging that other meanings exist. I would give that an A+ for communication. I'm sorry someone decided to be mean to you. I hope one day they learn to chill out and help people instead.

Danger kitty has a question@catsalad The kitty is asking if I want to hug them.
Yes, yes I do.

Just a thought and theory about artificial gravity in #scifi, in shows like #StarTrek.@lydiaconwell I don't do a lot of writing in sci-fi, but when I do, I have a dark "shielded" observation deck for stargazing. The "shield" is just a gravity field dome a few feet think that pushes inward hard enough to make the air density drop to 0 over a few feet.
The quality of the stargazing on spaceships is maybe something I think about too much 🤔
