Took my kids to see How to Train your Dragon, but an inopportune bathroom break by one of the kids caused me to miss the entire Test Drive sequence so I may as well have not seen the movie. 😅
In all seriousness, though, it was good! Didn't realize Gerard Butler reprised his role as Stoick. Missed Craig Ferguson's Gobber.
On a date tonight.
Waitress: Are you looking for someone, sir?
Me: Yeah, my wife. She got seated while I was parking.
Waitress: Okay, do you know her name?
Me: My... Wife?
Waitress: *processing* Oh- I meant-
Me: To be honest, I was getting up the courage to ask her tonight. 😜
Just published webxr-input-profiles assets version 1.0.18 to npm! This release includes assets for the PicoVR 4 Ultra, contributed by ByteDance.
I've heard that all of the latest "AI" work performs best on NVIDIA hardware, so out of morbid curiosity I decided to try running a couple of LLMs on my new AMD card... 🤣
Dear reader, this stuff just straight up *doesn't function* on AMD GPUs, mostly because the whole AI space is addicted to CUDA.
I added a "unwrap" function to the glTF-transform library/CLI tool written by @donmccurdy, which he merged today! It uses the xatlas library to generate new texture coordinates for a mesh that can be used for things like lightmapping, AO, and texture painting.
WebGPU is enabled in the Safari 26 beta announced today! https://webkit.org/blog/16993/news-from-wwdc25-web-technology-coming-this-fall-in-safari-26-beta/#webgpu
Just installed my first Radeon GPU after owning exclusively NVIDIA GPUs since the RIVA TNT days (!)
Any tips you fine folks have for someone making the switch to team red?
New toy acquired! First time I've ever owned a console at launch.
It's a nice device, feels quite a bit sturdier than the first Switch and the larger size looks and feels nice. Still not quite as chonky as the Steam Deck, though.
Visited the new Micro Center in Santa Clara today, walked out 15 minutes later with a 9060 XT (at the mythical MSRP, no less!)
Sales person I talked to was actually helpful and knowledgeable, Swayed me over to AMD by answering my questions about the impact of the PCIe slot size on my older PC.
Do the developers who code the "progress bars" for shipments of physical goods ever look at the guy who wrote the Windows file copy dialog and think "You don't know how good you had it"?
Store page says "Your shipment will DEFINITELY be there today!" to which I reply "It hasn't left Kentucky, so... no." 4 hours later they're like "Oops! There was a tiny whoopsie and your shipment slipped a teensy tiny bit from tonight to... a week from now."
