I've got an agent in a loop optimizing a renderer with the goal to minimize frame times (and tests to measure). It got times down from 88ms to 2ms and allocations down from ~150K to 500. Sounds good, right? Wrong. This is exactly why agent psychosis is a big fucking problem.

As an experiment, I rewrote the Ghostty core render state in Go, with access to identically laid out data structures as Ghostty and the exact same validation tests. I made a purposely naive renderer (simple, correct, but slow). 88ms per frame with 150,000 allocations (horrendous, lol)!

I then kickstarted a Ralph loop to bring the frame times down. I told it it can't modify input data structures or the public API or tests (they're correct), but it can do anything else it wants. It got to work.

It has worked for about 4 hours. I've spent around $350 on this experiment so far. The results?

88ms => 1.5ms
150K allocs => ~500 allocs

Incredible right? Nope.

My hand-written renderer I ported has frame times (same benchmark) of ~20us (0.020ms) and 0 allocations in the update path.

This is the problem with psychosis and lacking systems understanding. If you don't understand the system, you're going to accept that this is an incredible result. If you understand the system, you'll see better solutions immediately and can do roughly 75x better on throughput.

The people who blindly trust agent output are in the former camp. They're sheeple, overdrinking from a fountain of mediocrity.

Standard disclaimer: I use AI all the time. I like AI. The point I'm making is to not blindly accept results. Think. Analyze. Learn.

It's not a mistake that players are disappointed with the campaigns of recently-released games.

Western developers' productivity has decreased *tremendously* in the past 10 years, and many are still kind of coasting on past successes to try to make new things. Making a high-quality campaign requires 5x as much work, focus, and attention as making a slop campaign, so slop is what we will be getting an awful lot of the time, until the industry realizes a reset is required.

@TR1LL4UMIN0 Il n'y a rien de choquant dans les propos de plus l'islamophobie n'est pas un délit donc quand bien même à par sur les RS rien n'est condamnable

Valve, WE BEG YOU, please keep RMR as a qualifier for the Major in the coming years. The pressure, the surprises, the chokes, the nerves, the content - IT'S ALL WE WANT @CounterStrike

More info on 3DMAX: Not only are most players approaching free agency, but the organisation also reportedly owes significant back pay. Unpaid amounts include €7,000 to killazoo, €8,000 to fisico, €10,000 to Lucky, and probably more.

Un hasard, probablement.

Explains how I learned Vulkan and wrote a small game engine with it in 3 months.

It's huge. Hopefully you'll find it useful. :)

This update is a disaster.

Valve aimed to open up the circuit by 2025, but it's gonna be the exact opposite. The same teams will continuously receive invites to every BLAST/ESL tournaments + Majors, farming ranking points and blocking any new teams from entering the top 15.
