  1. Playing with physics and water. With no particular purpose yet, just testing everything works so far.

  2. Today's challenge: Problem #engineer 2 who refuses to do anything other than allow #claude to answer questions (even when he gets a team message or an email -- claude answers for him), so we are (me in particular) getting tired of talking to claude and not a human.

  3. Trying to make things a bit more varied. I've changed so many little things I'm not sure I can sum it up anymore 😅

    One thing I'll need to rework is how I generate forest ground and trees. As of now, I generate forest ground areas, and then I spawn trees. These areas *could* spawn trees, but by chance sometimes no tree spawns there, and I end up with dead leaves without trees.

  4. “AI writes features, not #architecture. The longer you let it drive without constraints, the worse the wreckage gets. The velocity makes you think you're winning right up until the moment everything collapses simultaneously.”

    Then proceeds to get the AI to write features not think, then describe data structures, interfaces or separation of concerns.

  9. Vibe coding and agentic engineering are getting closer than I’d like

    "A few weeks after vibe coding was first coined I published Not all AI-assisted programming is vibe coding (but vibe coding rocks), where I firmly staked out my belief that “vibe coding” is a very different beast from responsible use of AI to write code, which I’ve since started to…

  11. Happy birthday to British #engineer, #mathematician, #physicist & #inventor Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923). I’ve shown her in my #linocut with a diagram of the dividers from her 1st of 26 (!) patents, one of her diagrams about the origin & growth of ripple marks & one of her diagrams of an electric arc lamp (a subject on which she literally wrote the textbook).⁠

  16. This is what the collapse of empire looks like

    "In this video, [Casey Jones discusses] the partial bridge collapse that occurred around 7:30 PM Eastern time in Cranston, Rhode Island for the highway ramp bridge leading from westbound Highway 10 to northbound I-95 that resulted in tons of steel and concrete debris fowling the Amtrak rail tracks that forced a shut down of train traffic."

  22. New vibes, new priorities, new ⁨#introduction

    I'm NaClKnight (he/him) and my links are all at SalineSolutions.lol

    I'm on social media to be social. Let's chat. I'm Black (shoutout to ⁨#BlackMastodon⁩ ⁨#blackFedi⁩ ⁨#BlackTwitter⁩), American (born and raised in Los Angeles) socialist, straight, cis, male, and happily married. Any flirting is strictly unserious, but  some posts will be lewd, thirsty, or NSFW, especially during ⁨#demontime⁩.

    I write short stories and serialized novels that mostly include Fighting, witty banter, and love, sex, or romance. Currently that means #BeatPreyLove, a raunchy MMA promotion started by college students, and My Super Hot Dark Love, a romance novel about a supervillain whose takeover of a new town is impeded by a charming superhero.

    I play fighting games (⁨#FGC⁩), Tactics or Soulslike RPGs, and Shooters on ⁨#PC⁩ but I'll try just about anything. I build and sell ⁨#DesktopPCs⁩ and will always offer help or advice if you want it. Currently playing #StreetFighter6 and #TacticsOgre as of this post. If you play Fighting games, let's play some casual sets.

    I'm def the chattiest Mechanical ⁨#Engineer⁩ you know, especially about #gaming⁩ ⁨#anime⁩ ⁨#comics⁩ ⁨#NBA⁩ ⁨#NFL⁩ ⁨#MMA⁩ ⁨#UFC⁩ ⁨#HipHop⁩, ⁨#Rap⁩ or ⁨#Boxing⁩ ⁨#AEW⁩ ⁨#ProWrestling

  23. This is my #linocut portrait of Claude Shannon (1916-2001), #mathematician, electrical #engineer, computer scientist & cryptographer credited with laying the foundations for the Information Age. It shows him in front of binary numbers & with his electromechanical mouse Theseus & its maze. Though partially behind him, the binary numbers are the standard ASCII code for "CLAUDESHANNON".

  27. If we can have Taursday, why not #charrsday?

    This is my main in Guild Wars 2, a charr mechanist named Glitch Sootpaw. The charr are a militaristic steampunk feline race(for those unfamiliar with them), and for a long time as an Engineer(actual in-game class) and member of the charr's Iron Legion, she had been working on autonomous weapons. She started with deployable independent turrets, then (offscreen only, since I went straight to the Mechanist subclass) learned to make drones called gyros, but those were still single-function and limited, and she was never able to get full unfettered access to Asura golems to tear one apart and truly see how they worked.

    Eventually her adventures took her to the cyberpunk-looking jadepunk land of Cantha, which had advanced technology powered by magical jade which had been charged with Elder Dragon essence(which is a Thing that would need its own explanation). They were also less exclusive with their tech, and she finally was able to build her Jade Sentry, run by a primitive AI and powered by a dragon-jade reactor.

    In this image, she's back in an Iron Legion workshop, doing some maintenance on one arm while it tries to peek over her shoulder, not understanding what she's doing. Her Canthan Jade Bot helper is doing its best to help too!

    #Applebot - Apple's web crawler, used for various things - is ignoring robots.txt rules governing crawling of websites.

    I have Applebot (and Applebot-Extended, which isn't really a crawler) in my robots.txt files, set to disallow all access. Has been that way for #yonks.

    And Applebot is consistently the highest-traffic crawler to my sites - at least of ones that actually bother to fetch robots.txt. Yesterday, for example, Applebot fetched robots.txt from one of my websites almost 800 times.

    Yes, it's really Apple, not someone faking the user-agent identifier. It's coming from the networks that Apple says can be used to identify Applebot access. DNS matches, everything.
    e.g. support.apple.com/en-ca/119829

    So: legendary Apple software quality. Documented to do the right thing, but actually doing the wrong thing. And completely failing to cache content, fetching the same file 800 times a day when it hasn't changed in years.

    Hey, Apple! Need a software engineer who's actually, you know, good at it? I'm available.
