Also at X2026, a small group of 4 released the #Commodore64 demo "Hexed". We ended up 4th place, which is pretty good for such a small team. Soundtrack by yours truly. https://micheldebree.nl/posts/hexed/ #chiptune #c64 #sid8580 #demoscene

@ctminfocom@fosstodon.org We have to keep educating people that LLM’s are not a reliable way to store factual information. So any information obtained from an LLM is never 100% reliable. Sure, it can help find information in other sources but it cannot reproduce it by itself in a reliable matter.

#LLM #agenticai Struggling constantly with the entertaining AI “‘magic” vs the skepticism about the costs vs real life benefits. Have to keep reminding myself that a magician producing a rabbit from a hat is not going to solve animal extinction, for example.

@designthinkingcomic@mastodon.cloud Me after tweaking a simple task prompt for ages to make it work: “I could have done this quicker myself, but it will save me so much time next time I need it”. Next time, same thing. #agenticai

@elizayer I think of LLM’s as pattern re-use; applying learned patterns from old data to new situations. Good for menial tasks that are too boring for humans, but not for coming up with radical new things.

@goerp@mastodon.social nice to know it is actually being used. Do try retropixels+. If you run into issues, I can leave my version up

Chuffed to learn that my somewhat abandoned tool retropixels has forked into a better version called retropixels+ I will happily decommission the web version of retropixels and redirect to the new and improved version. https://meatloaf.cc/tools/retropixels+/ #RetroComputing #commodore64 #Pixelart

@pixelambacht Looking forward to watching this. Especially the nice dithering made me think this is some clever compression in space and time of an animation. Looks so good. edit: I couldn't wait. Such a clear explanation about graphic modes and their limitations and how to get around them. Absolute genius.

@ricardoquesada@mastodon.social This looks fantastic! Seems to scratch my love of c64 dev, my preference for tui and my growing interest in Rust. Topped off with a universal macOS binary… did you get hold of the list I made for Santa last year?

@TheTomas @synec In fact this is a typical case of backnaming when people started using the cat command for piping file content, they came up with an alternative explanation of the name so they wouldn’t be thought of as unprofessional.
