Gave my Slack bot the ability to pin emojis to other messages.
It also can search on the web and a myriad of other tiny things all while having a somewhat opinionated oldskool coder personality. It's fun!

I'm still betting on an emergent trajectory. Each feature adds to the whole more than itself.

AI image generation. Sure, it's controversial.
But how would we otherwise appreciate fake German 90ies adverts for Cubase compatible MIDI beaks?
An elderly man wearing a grey suit with tie and glasses blows into a novel musical instrument that looks like a flute with an orange duck beak at its end. The background is full of colorful 90ies rays to give the image that intensity. The image proudly states in German: Brinko™ MIDI Schnabel (Brinko™ MIDI beak). It also has logos on it to state Windows 95 compatibility, Cubse 3.5 compatibility and showcase the official General MIDI logo.

Funny little detail: South Park used Trump's Fulton county jail mug shot to visualize parts of the character in their latest episode.

Wired up my Slack bot with an MCP server and suddenly VS Code Copilot can talk to it too. I like everything about that.

AI autocomplete really rubbing it in..
A code block comment, the last sentence is an AI suggested auto complete. // Rather, we cache the original value in the CrossFrameState object of the box // and only really modify the drag float value in the next frame. // Once we detect that the user has stopped scrolling, we can set the edit state to // finished and clear the CrossFrameState. // // This is a bit of a hack, but it works well enough for now.

What a shame. I'm sure Google says this with a heavy heart.

A comic with two panels: 1. Text: "America, you might lose your democracy" - people below slumbering. A loud zzzzz is shown next to the people. 2. Text: "America, you might lose TikTok" - people extremely alarmed. A loud AAAAAAA is shown next to the people.

Slack threatening to delete all our old data unless we upgrade to Pro is actually a great argument against this exact vendor lock-in
Screenshot of a new Slack Banner from our free Slack instance that reads: 583K messages and files older than a year will be permanently deleted on Jan 28th Upgrade to preserve your content and get 50% off your first three months. Upgrade to Pro

Didn't take too long for the spam bot horde to arrive here as well. Can we share block lists for accounts like these already?

Für euch getestet: GIS Chatbot verhält sich genauso nutzlos wie ich mir das vom ORF erwarten würde
Ein Ausschnitt aus einem Chat mit dem GIS Bot. Das Ding ist absolut unfähig, wird einem aber sofort als erstes empfohlen um seine Probleme zu lösen.

Good progress during the holidays. We've now mapped parts of our Hobo 3D engine onto WIP tool nodes.

Below you can see a simple test scene consisting of two texture mapped cubes and navigable via a camera.
