I can't help you there, the 15kg bag of rice in our pantry was a high quality adult purchasing decision

damn, I didn't know :( ... time to microwave some raw eggs

@jchmoe.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:16 PM

I don't know who needs to hear this but go clean your microwave, it's disgusting in there!

I forgot how tedious grouting tiles is.. But, it is very satisfying when it's done! πŸ˜„

I know this isn't your point but even taking the concept at face value, it's such nonsense. It's literally a huge matrix multiplication on steroids. Of course it's not conscious. Sitting idle waiting for input there isn't a single bit that flips on its own. It's a bunch of data sitting in memory. 🀷

We've been selected by Launch Good to participate in their one-week fundraising campaign for Palestine.
Launch Good will match every $ we raise for Dreams on a Pillow.
This will take Khadra one stop closer to her next destination Atilit!

I was moderately hoping he was doing the right thing, but a week after this video went live he laid off about a hundred of his employees, citing AI and profit incentives as the primary drivers. He may be one of the less bad ones but he's still a San Francisco based tech CEO submerged in AI culture.

Genuinely concerned about the engineers at YouTube who work on the "Show me fewer shorts" button feature. Are they OK? Has anyone fed or watered them in a while? Did they get enough sleep? I'm really rooting for them but I'm losing hope. 😭

Some research today into how to illustrate the books for Marsozoic. Trying my hand at sketching + watercolor. I'm absolutely over the moon with the in-game result!!

A photo of my desk, covered with newspaper, with watercolor supplies on it - a palette with various mixed colors, some dirty paint water, a brush. On the left, a scrap of paper covered with dabs of watercolor, to test out the hues. In the middle, a WIP watercolored sketch of a frog, nearly finished.Scanned version of the finished watercolored sketch of a frog. It's hopping to the right, leaving a faint shadow on the ground. The frog is colored with a soft mix of green, orange-y and brown watercolors, with some black spots and white highlights.A screenshot of my paleontology game, Marsozoic, with the frog sketch integrated into an in-game book. The screen is split between a workspace on the left that is strewn about with alien fossils, and a table on the right with an open book. The book contains information about animals moving through a series of hops. The frog sketch now illustrates the bottom of the page.

Damn, that hurts to read :( Wishing the best to everyone affected ❀️

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting

Last time I couldn't figure out how to properly visualize something using tools, I ended up doing all the (log) positioning calculations in a spreadsheet and drew them in Inkscape with 4 decimal exact positioning πŸ˜‚ Sometimes doing it by hand is the least overwhelming option 🀷

I love finding new artists through artist collaborations. It's like finding out your friends are friends with pretty cool people at a mutual hangout and you become friends as well

(legitimate use-case is anytime you want to assert anything to be true, and crash in dev builds if it's not)

@jchmoe.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 6:25 PM

Defining a macro that does (*int)0 = 0; for when you want a game to crash and burn

I woke up, and want to clarify: Note that none of my arguments were - AI output is ugly/I can always tell - AI can't do my job well - AI looks different from human output These are not sustainable arguments. As AI evolves they will likely erode. That's why I wrote a huge list of DURABLE arguments:
