I'm retiring Ye Olde Twitter account; moving over to mastodon, follow me if you care

I see some confusion about software versioning, here's a guide:
alpha - proof of concept, full of bugs, unstable
beta - most cases covered, functionally complete, full of bugs, unstable
release candidate - deadline's here, full of bugs, unstable
1.0 - full of bugs, unstable

fucking NASA APIs

@KayinNasaki to be fair nothing in training prepares you for an extinction level event so a dance number seems logical

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

@UnrealAlexander I will not rest until I meet Ick Pleury

@banditkir 日本語上手ですね！

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

I see I see

Why is it so hard for 3D programs to agree on what direction is X Y or Z?

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

@VerizonSupport Service back up, thanks guys

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

Hey @verizonfios your service is down in Brooklyn. I don't need to talk to @VerizonSupport, just letting you know

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

@verizonfios @VerizonSupport if you want details, there's no DHCP service, but even when I had an IP it wasn't able to ping 1.1.1.1

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

Probably why the simulation is so expensive despite being done on the GPU. Y'all need to step away from so much Blueprints when it's all custom HLSL anyway

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

Just discovered that the entirety of Niagara's Fluid Simulation is done in custom HLSL Blueprints nodes. @UnrealEngine y'all are wild

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

Not only that but there's some real branchy code, gated behind a GPU_SIMULATION check. This is, to be blunt, unideal.

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

@funkineering is this the case outside of North America as well? I've personally seen only stick shift in Europe, but could easily be sampling bias

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

I wonder if the paucity of drivers who know how to drive stick shift is uniquely American or North American or what. Is there published data on this?

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

@zarawesome you're in a twisty maze of declarations, all of them different.

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

@scottbelsky If the time required is reduced by 10x then this allows them to do 10x more work. There is no intrinsic value to a service, only what value it is to clients.
Put it another way, value-based pricing will drastically inflate the profit margin of those who use AI vs those who don't.

@mimikyutie13 Wrap yourself in a you-burrito.
Also while the earth may be approximated as an infinite series of faces, I regret to inform that if you fell off one face you'd only land on another.

[Alex Lee @Aintaer]

@scottbelsky Which is why their rates are higher. The client is willing to pay a higher price to save their time, not for an abstract like "experience"
