I decided to apply it to an old #voxel game project of mine. I got AI to write the shader for the distant terrain. (It's now green rather than white.)
It helped me rewrite some of the code to use fixed-point math... though, I had to convert Simplex to fixed-point myself (the AI didn't understand it), and use my own fixed-point Sqrt.
It seems AI is better for quick, common tasks, like shaders, rather than more complex tasks like conversion of part of the codebase to fixed-point.

MenuetOS 1.59.20 released
MenuetOS, the operating system written in x86-64 assembly, has released two new versions since we last talked about it roughly two months ago. In fact, I'm not actually sure it's just two, or more, or fewer, since it seems sometimes releases disappear entirely from the changelog, making things a bit unclear. Anyway, since the last time we talked about MenuetOS, it got improvements to v

Für die Administration gilt laut WP ein Limit von 256M.
Das steht im Widerspruch dazu, dass mein Tarif beim Provider (Hetzner) nur 192M erlaubt.Mon Mar 09 2026 17:31:53 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) Categories (): programming -

So this from @TodePond is really intriguing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQgxFuw8f1U
reminds me very much of string rewriting
I've kind of got some fragments of rhythm generation using rewriting techniques but seeing it visually kind of fires my imagination

What is “isolation” in Swift? And why does understanding it matter? It turns out many frustrations developers encounter in Swift concurrency evaporate when they internalize the concept.
