Blender 5.2 LTS 3 days ago

Blender is one of the most infuriatingly un-intuitive UIs I've ever experienced. It's always having to be used with it in one screen, a myriad of guides/forums/etc on the other.

Could definitely make some fun art or advertising pieces with it using blurred objects or people behind it like its frosted glass

Same. Apple and Adobe seem to constantly have updates that feel one step forward, two steps back in a lot of places.

The original ghosts had specifically written patterns: Blinky chases pac man where he is. Pinky targets 4 spaces in front of you. Inky targets based on Blinky and Pac's positions. Clyde sticks to a corner until you get too close.

They only reverse on their own when the mode changes or you get a power pellet, otherwise they have to wait until a corner, otherwise you end up with behavior like you see in this where you both quickly dance back and forth on the otherside of a wall

Exactly. But we have no real coordination or uniform application in how we're creating PDFs across all these programs so we always end up with a fun mix of what will and wont be static, scalable, searchable

I've only used them a handful of times when Lyft rates were insane/too long and one instance it was driving erratically, and the other it ended up stopping me 5 blocks away at first. And with the Michael Scott water nonsense lately, absolutely would not trust that moving at high speeds.

For X, it's people and bots using chatgpt grasping for a piece of the payout pie using "reply guy" and engagement bait tactics for sure. There's nothing really happening on there, just a race to see who can rack up the most likes and replies to get a check.

Yea it can basically short circuit your thinking when trying to talk, BUT oddly enough it helps with stuttering with a short enough interval. There's in-ear attachments people can use that do this exact thing and it helps reduce the amount of stuttering and the brain getting stuck on a sound. My brother uses one, its crazy how it works

That's why I always get as close as I can until I feel my form suffer, then stop that set. I've hurt my neck a few times, and it's always been from "oh i can push ONE more..." then suffer for it. It's never been worth 100% optimized gains. A few people I know did the same with deadlifts and paid for it, right now one's awaiting back surgery that's basically cost her all her savings.

this is something web and mobile devs can skip a lot of times it seems these days. testing on only the best screens or most recent device simulators and they leave their work looking like a mess across screens because its optimized for something specific rather than checking or being responsive

Can absolutely be a great tool in addition to one's skills, it's when people solely use it at a crutch and dont do any due diligence is where it can be a mess. Friend of mine's son is in college for computer science and he's been skirting by having AI doing all his heavy lifting without actually understanding what he's doing and how the code works. Then when he landed a solid internship, he started spiraling because he didn't know how to do any of the tasks.
