AggroChat #572 – Time is Weird

Belghast

Featuring: Ace, Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen This week, we record one of our shortest shows because, quite honestly, we did not have a ton to talk about.  That said, I feel like there were a lot of fun discussions. We start off talking about Forza Horizon 6, as Tam...

On Seasonality

Andy Bromberg

I work and feel best when I’m on a consistent routine — eating roughly the same things every day, going through the same morning and evening flows and daily schedule structures, and doing the same workouts (see: Congruence, MEQ, Just Call Me, and other posts on this site). I suspect this feels...

Cher: Dark Lady

abagond

Remarks:  This is my favourite Cher song not counting “I Got You Babe” (1965). It went to #1 on the US pop chart in 1974. She did not have another number-one hit till 24 years later – “Believe” (1998). That must be some kind of record. The video above comes from 1973 when she sang it on “The Sonny...

The French Quatre

4q

What is Dave wearing today? Dave is wearing a black T-shirt, khaki shorts, white socks, and gray baseball cap. The T-shirt is covered with dog fur. He assumes there is dog fur on the other articles of clothing, but is harder to detect because it more closely matches the fabric colors. How does...

A Murder in Marylebone by Emily Sullivan #20BOS26-4

CLM

Alas, A Murder in Marylebone barely mentions Marylebone and is too obviously written by an American, although it began promisingly. Minerva Harper, a widow with two children, has returned to London after some 15 years in Greece. Her husband, Oliver, was a diplomat but left the British Embassy...

Back to Basics: AMR sensors

Amaldev

Today, let’s discuss AMR sensors. These sensors are still relatively new to many embedded builders because you mostly find them in motors, steering systems, actuators and industrial encoders. I thought it is worth covering for newer folks. AMR means Anisotropic Magneto-Resistance. A thin...

Split / Lop by Column of Trout / Partager (bandcamp music review)

M1A1

A beautiful dream of passions in the clay. Abstract and yet kinda only described as very human. Dissonant and avant-garde, yet, surprisingly catchy. Easy listening broadcast from the green flames of heck. The first half is like Kurt Cobain bedrooms demos using the convenience of modern...

On Limited Emotional Vocabulary

balancedbean

The issue with limited vocabulary we have to label our emotions and feelings. We have two words, at most, to describe majority of things that we feel throughout our day: happy and un-happy/sad. The hard black and white categorization. Everything is reduced to either the hedonistic pursuit of...

AMO DEI SUM

Beware! Its light will blind you! It speaks in tongues that will scorch the earth! Fear not! We noble few stand sentry! Our backs turned, to face the beast! Have faith! Evil surrounds you! You stand among men that cannot be trusted! Have faith! Stay behind us! We will give your wretched soul...

No Carrier

Jason

The other day I observed a silly little thing and thought "I'll need to remember this for Sunday's call" only to be reminded a split second later that there are no more Sunday calls. It was an odd moment because, for the better part of four years, Sunday night was dedicated to calling my mum....

Why I don't recommend Zurich for travelers

Ashish Bhatia

An honest one-day Zurich travel guide covering the old town and walking tour, and why this pricey Swiss city is not worth a special visit.Zurich, along with Oslo, Norway is one of the few unassuming expensive European cities that I would not recommend visiting. The joke goes that Zurich whose...

Flocking Flock

Peter Fitz

I'm trying to make some modelling flock, with only limited success.This is made from bits of a kitchen sponge, whizzed up in a blender, coloured with ordinary house paint kneaded through, dried in the oven and then ground again in a little electric coffee grinder.It's not utterly worthless, but I...

Building a serial and VGA "everything console"

ClassicHasClass

Some of our recent (and some upcoming) projects are oriented to systems with serial consoles, but it's been getting pretty old dragging around old CRT terminals or tying up Mac laptops with a serial port. I'd like something that's self-contained, a little more portable and a bit less heavy. I'm...

ImageStriker | Normal 1CC | PC

bcengine

Fun! Felt like dev's first serious attempt at a shmup; enemies a bit unbalanced but enjoyable overall. 2nd stage boss is much tankier than the rest. Took me a few tries to get the clear. Solid execution of the horizontal and backward shooting. Excited to play more of Terarin's games. Even if it...

Shadow Theory: Why AI Prompting Is About Perspectives

Marc-André Moreau

This post introduces Shadow Theory: a mental model for AI prompting that treats prompts as perspectives shaping what the model sees. It explains why better results often come from changing the angle of analysis rather than simply adding more instructions or context.

Some Notes on Alignment Blogs

152334H

These are quick self-notes I wrote this week, while scrolling various AI Alignment related posts online. There are no insights here, just mundane reading & paraphrasing to ensure I ‘get it’.

The Baliocene Apocrypha

It’s not the kind of thing that flatters anyone’s self-image or fits well into anyone’s politics, so - I think that most people haven’t appreciated just how much damage will result from the kind-of-AI-that-worked-first being a thing that’s going to come for the intellectuals and artists before the...

The Language Room

awanaltrove

There was a girl in the language room with hair the color of a small fire. That is how I remember her first. Not the date. Not the weather. Not what I was wearing, or where I sat, or which page of the book we were supposed to open. Memory, I have learned, is careless with facts and loyal to light....

Skate Attack (PS2)

Jonny

As a publisher, Midas were famous mainly for two things: localising occasionally interesting Japanese budget games, and also publishing mostly-terrible original budget games. Skate Attack isn't one of the former, so my hopes for it weren't high. But I tried it anyway, being the fair-minded person...
