whenever someone says sakurai should stop directing smash bros i can't ever take em entirely seriously because no one in their right mind would program this unless they were sick in the head
@bit_reactor You're doing great! I know you like to talk a lot, and that's not a bad thing. But I do recognize and appreciate the times when you've actively taken interest in other peoples' thoughts and experiences and even let them riff for a bit. Your questions don't go unnoticed :)
i mapped the ENTIRE supply chain behind a single ChatGPT query
76 nodes in 13 countries with 10 layers, from a quartz mine in North Carolina to your chat window
so i built an interactive map where you can trace every path yourself
every time you type a prompt, you are touching brazilian sugarcane that turned into ABF varnish by Ajinomoto in Japan that used to package Nvidia GPUs in Taiwan
a single quartz mine in Spruce Pine NC that supplies the ENTIRE semiconductor industry with crucibles, no backup, one landslide and chip production stops globally
ASML in the Netherlands, the ONLY company on earth that makes EUV lithography machines, they need Zeiss mirrors polished to less than ONE ATOM of roughness, and TRUMPF lasers from Germany to power them
chinese germanium, ukrainian neon gas, chilean copper, australian iron ore
all flowing through TSMC fabs that print at 2 nanometers, thats 10 atoms wide
this is a PHYSICAL supply chain more fragile than most people realize
everyone debates which model is better
nobody talks about the quartz mine that all of them depend on
@masakinakag I really like the Aetherfont! It's an odd pick, but I think the pacing of the dungeon is fantastic, and the boss mechanics require just enough movement to feel engaging. It's a fun dungeon to replay!
Vaccines work so well that people have forgotten one of the biggest reasons it used to be common to have tons of kids:
A lot of them died.
It’s actually new and very PRIVILEGED to be able to assume your kids will grow up to be adults, and that privilege can easily be lost.
Totally unrelated topic, but…
Back when I was a student, I was mentally preparing for the day AI would rapidly evolve and launch a war against humanity—like in Terminator.
Now I’m well past the halfway point of life, and here I am, staring at a compiler that halts over a single dumb typo in game dev:
“Error on line 3082.”
Seriously? You’re telling me these AI programs are gonna declare war on us, but they still freeze up over a full-width space?
When exactly are you AI coming to kill me?
10 years? 20?
At this rate, it’s too late.
Every time I see the news talk about “amazing advances in AI,” I just roll my eyes.
It’s the opposite—it’s slow.
If AI had really advanced, we wouldn’t be pouring 10, 20, 30 billion Yen / dollars / anyway… into making games.
Truth is, anyone deep into high-end water-cooled PCs has already felt it: Moore’s Law is slowing down.
AI’s progress? Way too damn slow.
At this rate, I’m gonna die of old age before the Terminator shows up.
If I die before Skynet comes online… doesn’t that mean I win?
In the Span of 8 years :
