- Reposted by Joni KorpiThis Boer/Grok fiasco is funny, but it previews how AI chatbots will be used more subtly to manipulate public opinion. They present decontextualized authority: unsourced, unauthored, always confident. And we are being trained to trust them as objective or as the Wisdom of Crowds.
- Pianoteq’s demo has this funny mechanic where it stops working after a while, and you need to spam-click an egg timer to "rewind" it

- Reposted by Joni KorpiLast year the Japanese variety show Gaki no Tsukai had the famous singer Yoko Takahashi go undercover at a restaurant where she fooled everyone right up until she took the stage and belted out A Cruel Angel's Thesis, the intro song to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Just stunning.
- Reposted by Joni KorpiThe global scale of enshittification is so wild to watch happen. Remember when the reason anyone had Netflix was because it was more convenient than piracy? arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

- With Notion spreading its AI features I guess it’s a good time to attempt another move away from it. Last time I couldn’t find anything else that did nestable, draggable, cross-platform block-based documents properly.
- Reposted by Joni KorpiFor years, one of the most befuddling things for me in CSS was how “height: 100%” would sometimes just not work. Every time I tried to use it was a roll of the dice. 😅 Like everything else in CSS, though, it all makes perfect sense when we understand the underlying mechanism. ✨ Let’s explore. 🧵

- My only critique of zed.dev (apart from all the AI pushing they do) is that they update too often. Results in a potent cocktail of “fear of things breaking if I don't update" and “fear of things breaking if I _do_ update”. Otherwise a splendid alternative to VS Code.

- Still very (very) new to making music, but I'm already a fan of Pianoteq. It's a 50 megabyte instrument library that's basically built like a video game under the hood. Feels so much better than any of the 13 gigabyte sample-based libraries I had the misfortune to try out first. www.modartt.com

- Reposted by Joni KorpiI realize I’m just shouting into the wind here, but: please, please, please stop posting screenshots without links, or summarizing breaking news events without links. There’s a serious problem with unsourced assertions all over the world right now, don’t be part of the problem.

- Reposted by Joni KorpiOne thing about your engine being able to push as much geometry as hardware creators intended is designs not before possible in any of our previous projects. High res of Spirit Plant compositions at about 100M triangles.
- Reposted by Joni KorpiA breakdown on how this shader works: The first loop is the raymarcher loop with 100 iterations ("i" is the iterator). Raymarching works by starting at the camera origin (in this case, 0,0,0) and stepping forward along the ray direction.
- Reposted by Joni KorpiAh, all the artifacts were fixed by replacing one '<' with '<=', duh. It all works now, particle life completely on WebGPU! There are 2^18 (~260k) particles here; my PC struggles after about half a million particles. Will probably try to optimize it a bit later.
- Reposted by Joni KorpiI don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
- Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
- Reposted by Joni KorpiGame design thing that I feel is understated is just how much work goes into the physicality of characters & objects in a game. Most commercial games do a good job of this so it kind of appears hidden to people, since its not a "common problem" people can compare to

- Failing to find any interesting apps/games/something for learning piano. It all looks like the worst kind of aimless edutainment. Might just start by trying to figure out the music puzzle in Blue Prince. Probably a steep hill to climb, but the motivation is built in.

- Reposted by Joni KorpiI'd really like to see Steam make changes to their 30% platform fee. I understand they have no incentive to do so, but even a small change to say, the first $100k of gross revenue would make a massive difference to indie developers.
- The Epic Games Store will now take a 0% cut on the first $1M revenue earned. (Epic Games Store blog)
