This is me diving into leetcode without majoring in CS in undergrad. There's are also a bunch of precalculus stuff that comes in handy that I completely forgot. Like how to compute arithmetic sums!

Anything that's live service aspect is a pain in the ass to run. That's why I decided to make my side project an old school (VR) videogame with a singleplayer campaign. Basically you can sell it and sleep on it if you want to do s

Ok, I finally fixed this. Accidentally set the python code highlighting to JSON. Have changed the code highlighting theme to a lighter color.

There's two categories of folks that won't want to send their data out to "improve the product" The first is the companies that are concerned about their IP (but comfortable enough using a cloud provider). Then there&#x2

Actually self-hosting without using the cloud at all involves building a multi-gpu rig. NIMs are just to try out the concept. Honestly, doing it this way is still a bit more secure than using OpenAI or Anthropic directly because its a sligh

I've been experimenting recently with replacing Github Copilot with one of the open source and open weight alternatives. This post goes over how to set these up!

You absolutely do not need to be getting Microsoft copilot licenses: Open weight and open source models can be hosted on your own hardware nowadays, and its incredibly easy. https://dublog.net/blog/open-weight-copilots&

Well if you use the Unity game engine, you can always script a setup that does a runtime bake on level load. Not really sure about navmeshes that actively change at runtime though...

The other thing to keep in mind is that CA built their own game engine for this series of games. Tearing up any part of the game engine (which dates to the late 90s) is sure to have big breaking consequences for other teams and any half dec

Quite honestly, I could see why they would want to rework big chunks of Shogun 2. Rome II with all its faults had working cities with plazas and walls. Shogun 2 had maybe 6-8 actually distinct fortresses, where folks just line up on some wa

Just spam my entire fleet at the damn thing and save scum if I accidentally sink the damn thing. Lol. Endgame campaign. Really shows that in gamedev, game design trumps everything. Shogun 2 under the hood was janky as fuck, but boy did they

Now having read most of the article, and having done quite a bit of game development myself... it sounds like a large amount of the problems with Rome II and the engine they were building was the navmesh. The navmesh is a sort of 3d mesh wh

I can't believe it's been 10 years since this game came out. Rome I still has a special place in my heart. Probably spent more hours playing that game than any other. Even inspired me to read some Plutarch to learn about the lives

My takeaway is that GPUs are not necessarily the best hardware for AI, but they rode 30 years of economic demand for gaming hardware

An automatic grenade launcher firing 40 mm rounds can reach up to 2 km on a parabolic trajectory. It'd take a lot of grenades, but there are videos from the Ukraine war of Ukranian infantry landing hits at range on Russian positions us

I'm surprised how few people are pointing out that you can simply trace the wire back to the control station. At roughly 1 km of actual range, that's not just mortar range, that's fucking grenade launcher range.

It's awesome to bring some innovation into the airplane market. That being said, changing the control scheme seems like a bad move. Stick and rudder are not that complicated. Lots of aspiring pilots will not buy this thing because they

There's way more to ARM adoption than simply power consumption. When apple went to the M1, they got their entire software ecosystem to go along with the migration. That's the fundamental strength of Apple. They can do things like
