A picture with two images of Gandalf. The top one says "Merry Christmas" and Gandalf is laughing and smiling, the bottom one says "Pippin Christmas" and Gandalf is looking sincerely un-amused.

#opencode now has file modification and TODO points as things progress... and that's really cool! =D
A list of to-do items for the task and details of lines added or removed from each file during the task - woo! Go #opencode

When you're watching the context & hoping it finishes the feature before we hit zero and it auto-compacts... nope.

Even writing a good plan before clearing is moot at this point - most of the important details are now lost to make room for new info... about stuff! And junk!

#AI #ClaudeCode #LLM
When the context auto-compacts it keeps only "important" information about what you were working. Unfortunately, the LLMs idea of what important what you deem important are different things - and quality will decrease.

Being a Human Being:
A picture with the title: Rules for being human 1.) You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for your entire period here. 2.) You will learn lessons. You are really enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant, stupid, or too hard. It makes no difference; you will learn lessons. 3.) There are no mistakes, only lessons. You are made to grow, and growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The pains of “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the ones that ultimately “work.” 4.) A lesson will be repeated until it is learned. The same lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson. 5.) Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of the process of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned. 6.) “There” is no better than “here.” When you get to a “there” and it becomes a “here,” you will simply yearn for another “there” that will again look better than “here.” Always appreciate the “here.” 7.) Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself. 8.) What you make of life is up to you. You have all the tools and the resources that you need in your mind, heart and body. What you do with them and what attitudes you form are up to you. The choice is yours. Nobody “makes” you. 9.) The answers to life’s questions lie inside of you. All you need to do is take the time to look, listen, and understand. 10.) In the most essential things of life, you will always get what you asked for. This happens because of your thoughts, choices, and attitudes. You may not get what you wanted, but it will be what you asked for.

Working on real-time Fractal Flame generation. Currently ~40fps at 12.8M samples per frame... getting there.
A real-time rendered fractal flame with swirls within swirls - all generated from math and chaos.

A picture of a mountain, with the implication that you might want to climb that mountain - but fuck mountains. The text right slap-bang in the middle of the image says "FOLLOW YOUR STUPID FUCKING DREAMS" in all caps. Because we should.

#PS2 disc images renamed to include product IDs so the covers display properly via webMAN MOD on #PS3.

Analysis & renaming scripts available via: github.com/amillionboun...
A list of PlayStation 2 ISOs on the left - at top right is the same list and all the disc images are a plain blue colour with no graphics, while in the bottom right the same games are shown with their correct cover images because the script has changes the .ISO filenames to include the product codes and they now get recognised and displayed.

#PS1 disc image bin / cue consolidation example from:
github.com/amillionboun...
A an image of the PlayStation 1 game "Dead or Alive" as a suite of bin/cue files. The single .cue file references 29 other .bin files - in the image on the right, after consolidation, there is a single .bin file which contains all the (29) original files, and the .cue file has been rewritten to reference them correctly from the single .bin file. This allows in-game CD audio to work when playing PlayStation 1 games on a PlayStation 3 console via custom firmware.

Wrote some #PS1 / #PS2 disc image manipulation scripts for use on the #PS3 - they combine disc images w/ multiple bins into a single bin/cue pair so in-game CD audio works & smartly rename files (inc. ISOs) to contain the product ID so cover images display via webMAN MOD.
