The tech people like and value stays.
The tech people reject and dismiss goes.
We got rid of arguably superior stuff like Betamax and the Amiga just due to bad marketing. You honestly think this generative "AI" horseshit is going to survive our hate *and* being unprofitable?

“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

They are putting all their eggs in the AI basket.
So be it...
When the AI bubble bursts, Satya will be ousted, and whatever little remains, will have to pivot back to user satisfaction.
The brain drain will be brutal, those execs who remain sceptical...

Bridget Phillipson knew her history, was told by MPs not to appoint her, insisted on appointing her, and in her first interview the Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission has ignored super clear and explicit human rights law that trans people are not a third sex. What a disgrace.

Skawo made a video doing a deep dive into the #64DD code of Zelda Ocarina of Time and how it could be used by the original devs.
Been helping Skawo a slight bit about that but he's still way way more knowledgeable about OoT's code than I do.

As a Netflix subscriber, I should be happy for Netflix to buy Warner Bros, but I think Paramount is a better choice, as two smaller studios and streaming services merging, will result in a viable competitor to Disney, Netflix, Comcast.

This was the first Star Trek thing I saw. My dad took me to the theater to see it, back when I only knew Star Trek (TNG) as "dad's show". Later went on to rent all the other movies (in the weird order of 6-4-5-1-2-3). That, along with Voyager premiering right after is what got me hooked (obsessed?).
Star Trek Generations was released 31 years ago today.

There is a slight disconnect in Sci-Fi vfx design. It has never been easier to build, detail, and design space ships and other miniatures - and yet CGI is almost always chosen and bad CGI really can take you out of a moment...

Also love the way the symbol aligns with lower case x-height (as Design Research Unit and Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert intended)
Is this the largest Double Arrow to go on a building in 40 years? It's RS2, it's track gauge high, and I'm mightily proud of it.

Nintendo Today! has shared some "screenshots" of Zelda live-action movie (filming has started, apparently). Looks pretty neat imo, so if movie ends up looking something in that vein, could be pretty decent.

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.
