what's annoying is that like, it's right there let a = 5; let b = a; b = 10; console.log( a ); // 5, wow, value types! but you just, can't do this with custom types, for some godforsaken reason

what's the most standard/easy way to set up a comment section on a website/blog? I want to write some on my website, but I think it'd be nice if there was some sort of comment section

I really want to add a catenary spline to my spline library it'd be extremely specialized to the one use case of "I want hanging cables" but I think it would be cute and nice to have!

some experts seem to think they are better teachers just because they know more about the topic but, teaching is a skill in and of itself, and if you're a good teacher, you'd know that picking what *not* to include is crucially important

like if someone has a very bad take, I sometimes feel some sort of obligation to provide a counternarrative but if nobody is seeing that bad take anyway, why bother? if anything I might make it worse by giving it more attention

"but humans are inspired by other people's art as well" people are not AI algorithms, and that's not how inspiration works like this is so self evident I don't even know how to get this across any more clearly

this is why I am so strongly against AI image generation it's insulting, degrading, and it strips literally all humanity out of someone's artistic life it's basically a form of artistic identity theft

The way Ai imitates the style of artist Sam Yang (samdoesart) is absolutely eery. I‘d be so frustrated & angry. The worst thing: Sam spoke out against this and tech bros made a contest out of coming up with the best Ai to copy his style. This madness needs to stop!

spent like two hours sorting my art reference/inspiration board by artist to make sure I never forget who made what unlike AI models I actually care to remember who I look up to and is inspired by, imagine that!

do I just... not implement any of the defaults, and then codegen all the implementations? kinda did this with Shapes, this time it's for my splines, with a significantly more complex hierarchy. I'll probably need codegen eventually anyway so here we go again

nvm default interfaces just *betrayed* me ;-; obj.Beep; // doesn't compile :( ((IMyInterface)obj).Beep; // compiles having to cast every time makes it unacceptably clunky to work with, so, back to generic interface extension methods and abstract classes ig >.>

is it okay if I only support unity 2021.2 and later for my spline plugin? because uh, I *really* want default interface implementations in my snowballing mass of a type layout

the vast majority of people I block are NFT/crypto/spam/scammers that mass-tag me in whatever the heck an airdrop is twice every day I think among actual people, I might've blocked about 10 people total, in my 12 years on this platform they should feel special tbh

it's generally very hard to get blocked by me, I never block someone just for disagreeing, but if you're an asshole or disrespectful wrt something I care about, then I just don't have time for your negativity I want more constructive disagreements than that in my echo chamber ig

nuclear weapons are just like any other weapon we've invented guys trust me it's the same, please just, believe me it's the same there's nothing unique about this one it's just the natural next step of humanity, in fact you *have to* embrace it you luddite

I don't quite understand how people still make this comparison to downplay the numerous legitimate and unique concerns AI image gen is posing to the art community as a whole but whatever, keep making v insightful "similar past thing is same as present thing" arguments I guess
Quote Tweet
People who think their criticism of AI art is insightful or useful should read what painters originally said about photography. No skill required, the tech does all the work, no creativity, blah blah blah etc.

I've been looking at the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon, it seems really nice because 1. enclosed (we have cats) 2. multicolor (maybe print the gizmos in one piece?) 3. good for lazy people (me) who don't know much about the tinkering side of things 4. I need a hobby to fix my burnout
