gamedev question: I often see the advice to do stuff like
player.x += player.dx * frameTime
to handle variable FPS, but won't that allow the player to clip through walls during a spike of really bad frame rate? how do games handle this in practice?

lately i've been thinking about how LLMs must feel really amazing to use if you're a dumbass, but incredibly frustrating if you're just basically competent in life.
Is AI making job recruitment less meritocratic? We're getting some v interesting research studies on this question now, and the news is... not good. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com & I dive in, in the latest edition of our newsletter The AI Shift www.ft.com/content/e5b7...

A week on and I'm still blown away by the reception the Renegade vid got, I thought it'd die in the water! I felt silly as hell making a vid on a game where I focused on the single player when, well, we all know why people still love it. I'm still damn proud of this one!

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

These come from my "dumb stuff I made" folder. It is full of, well, dumb stuff I made. I feel that it is monumentally important to make dumb stuff and document it, because at the end of the day, humanity is a very silly species and we thrive on this kind of stuff.
