@nilay_savant I agree, but seems like the community is opposed to AI.

@AWeirdPhysicist @CheviDon @mouthofmorrison @Ascii211 @ElectronicsbyJH You should generate som higher res ones just for the art. They're kinda beautiful

@SebAaltonen does this mean PETAFAB will be released on mac too?

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

@pearkes @superlogical @almonk Will it have voice input?

@jonringer117 @Mic_92 I was testing setting up my env with Nix last year, but got frustrated as a Nushell user that Bash was so tightly coupled to Nix.

I later learned about Nuenv, and apparently https://t.co/Jd0Gm7R0jW has revived it but I haven't tested. Would be cool to see more Nushell in Nix!

@IroncladDev @iroh_n0 What do you use it for?

@AlexRWendland @carllerche is the edit-loop measurement taken at opt-level=3?

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

@carllerche And I just upgraded to 0.7 :) love the release cadence!

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

@SebAaltonen That rebuild is too fast, please rewrite in no-std rust

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

jj is awesome! It has completely replace git for me :) And I didn't know until now you are building your own jj-remote, but I'd love to try it!

Feature request for game dev:
An issue I encounter a lot is wanting to avoid unoptimized game assets in my repo history, like textures, models and sound. I don't always have time to optimize them, but I still want them in my jj history, so I spend time optimizing away a few MB so they don't bloat the repo. It would be a great to have a jj setup with a remote that can serve a limited slice of the history, so I don't need to download the entire history of assets locally to get started, but can still go back in history and have those assets served on demand.

@SebAaltonen I like the "no" prefix. It's already a strong brand.
> no_gpu, no_api, NoGL, no_gfx.

Alternatively someting with "bindless"
> bindlessGL, bindlessGPU, etc

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

@SebAaltonen Loved your posts about massive multiplayer and the voxel project. It's a great time to cook up something great!

New WebGPU terrain build with color painting tools: https://t.co/RgwJPBkTas

This concludes my single week prototype. It was a blast! I really enjoyed doing it.

Prototyping continues on Christmas vacation:
- 2nd week = full 3d voxel system
- 3rd week = 10,000 player multiplayer

@sitnikcode I’m glad the guy with the GitHub AI handle is positive to AI

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

@JasonBud A simple phone app with voice input, and option to edit the voice input keybind to hold-spacebar

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

@damarberlari Looks incredibly satisfying

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

@rachpradhan How do you avoid overfitting to one type of problem?

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

@mumpitzgames I bought it but can't play on mac. Is a mac release planned?

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

@mitchellh @AnandChowdhary @superlogical @almonk @dizzyup I've been loving their iOS SSH app Echo, so I can't wait for what you guys cook next! Is there a chance the multiplexer apps get voice input?

[Ask Jentoft @AskJentoft]

@DevSilvan @julienscholzdev @carllerche Very nice! To run it in a worker you need the worker crate and compile it as WASM, is that correct?

If you want to be slightly more security paranoid, you should not login the VPS to Tailscale as yourself, as if compromised or the agent goes rogue, it has network access to all your other Tailscale machines. Instead:

1. Create tag:vps in ACL policy
2. Generate a tagged auth key
3. On the VPS: tailscle up --authkey=tskey-...
4. Create a one-way policy for the tag in the JSON editor in Tailscale admin (ask AI to do this)
