That'll be fun when half the world is migrating due to extreme climate events.

Wikipedia rarely (never?) gives enough information to actually build or accomplish anything - it just has a nice clean summary of lots of things.

Regarding this image, the article states: "Bielfeldt does not use AI in his images, preferring to rely on traditional techniques."

So I would presume it also refers to his other works?

For me its the seemingly cross-eyed look combined with the bits of pollen that remind me of a flower child i.e. a hippie spider.

I'm somewhere between "awww how cute!" and "I'm gonna lose my lunch".

Why no Legend of the Red Dragon? :(

Hot take: Maybe not literally eating, but anything > $1B in whatever form (cash, stocks, equity, etc) should be redistributed fairly. At the lowest level, janitors at Tesla are just as important as engineers - if the toilets are nasty and nobody takes care of them then nobody will want to work there. So on top of paying them $15/hour, they should also get some stock.

50,000 tokens later (amounting to $74 in actual inference costs after IPOs in '27) and we can finally open a webpage that looks like it was designed in the 90's and using SingleFile plugin weighs in at 410KB. Another successful day browsing the World Wide Web.

I'm confused, it looks like he plays 90% Minecraft and KSP?

I agree in principle though - I usually search on YT for reviews and/or gameplay before I buy anything these days, since gameplay trailers are like Hollywood movie trailers: they either give too many spoilers and/or they trick you into buying something that isn't what I want.

I still can't believe EA just shut down Bioware.

Of course considering who just bought EA (PIF, a Saudi fund + Kushner and some other asshats) and it all makes sense. But I'm still shocked and really sad.

Well there is certainly more "indie" AI slop nowadays. The latest example is Next Fest on Steam right now, almost 8k demos and, well, just have a look, or read any media outlet who is reporting on it - it's an absolute travesty.

I bought a Mac mini a couple years ago to develop an app and went with the cheapest model: $600 for 256GB version. Once I had Xcode, Visual Studio, and the rest of my development setup installed, I was down to roughly 60GB free. After every build, I moved installation + build/debug files to an external drive to save about 1GB.

Over the following year, roughly 20 releases later, my disk was full. Xcode generates a ton of hidden cruft in the DerivedData folder during every build/release that I wasn't even aware of! I spent a couple days googling and trying free & paid disk space analyzers (sidenote: I didn't realize how good we have it in Windows-land, there are so many good free tools but in Apple-land they are all so frustrating to use and most of them are totally useless for this particular case). Eventually, I found an Apple forum thread explaining where Xcode hides its generated build data, it was like 8GB of stuff per build! I set a calendar reminder for every 12 months to clean this folder.

I can't move anything else to an external drive really because what's left is necessary for build environment. I don't use the Mac for anything except development, so I've literally removed everything and it's down to barebones but it's still a struggle. If I had known I would have invested another $150 for the 512GB version.

And now that Plex laid off the entire player dev team, I guess we'll never get that feature :(
