This stuff is always so interesting to me because this is the part/step of solo game-development where people don't make too much content about it online, so you need to find books/scraps of content about rolling your own complex physics engine. It's all knowledge that's stuck in the industry/random github repos it seems.


Im reading 'Primer on 3D Math for Graphics Programmers"

I highly recommend it to you.


When I was first engaging into web development a year ago, I was making forms that took addresses. From a C and C++ background, I kept asking, what if they lived in a specific country? How can I make my database truly safe? What is the best way to store all these addresses? I immediately gave up on that effort. Very impressive.


Especially when all of these language models have been built on and learned from said copyrighted content.

You're not wrong in any capacity. It's just bad and doesn't improve any "security" if that was intended.


Working on a reverse proxy in Rust, https://rpdm.geneseesoftwarellc.com (NYS property lookup), a 3D physics and rendering engine using Entity-Component-System architecture, a time logging application for our clients at work, and another C program for low level graphics stuff.


I suddenly now imagine Zuck no differently from some of my unemployed friends.


We've heard it time and time again that 4chan is the so called "last bastion of free speech on the internet" when this so called free speech is just being unapologetically racist and antisemitic. I hope its gone for good.


Halfchan's likely been around longer than you have and will just as likely remain around long after you're gone


That's fine, I don't really expect a 22 year old site with generational backup storage to actually go down forever. I'm 23, so I got them beat!


> racist and antisemitic

There was a leak of the political channel by poster's country.

According to that post, the top posting country by far (226M posts) is also the same country that is at the receiving end of antisemitism.


Yet another reason 4chan and its anonymity is a misinformation and propaganda warzone.


"unapologetically" and propaganda are quite opposite concepts in that situation. Make up your mind because you are the one pushing for discord here.


4chan being gone for good would've been a bad thing regardless of your views. All those people who used to come there and just talk wouldn't just cease to exist nor stop feeling the way they feel. At the very least, it's the devil you know.


Yep, there is a reason the site was operational as long as it was.


Obviously those people will continue to think and exist the way they are. But we can't assume things will slowly start getting better if we continually allow increasingly racist "discourse" and misinformation in our society.


>unapologetically racist and antisemitic.

Anyone who's actually familiar with 4chan knows that posts containing any of that are cracked on hard, both by other users (replies calling it out) and janitors (delete+ban).


Is this actually true? So they just get around it with countless dogwhistles that mean the exact same thing?

Every single page is filled to the brim with racism, that is evident to anyone who has visited the site.


Arguably that's where the current generation of dogwhistlers learned their craft.

Musk is supreme at it ("kek").


I'm not sure how you've come to that impression. The boards I used to frequent are hobbyist ones, not political, yet they have people calling each other the n-word all the time. On /fit/ anything done by a large corporation or as a moneymaking scheme is talked about as if it's a Jewish conspiracy, to the point where they call highly-processed food "goyslop". /g/ hates Indians and calls software and technology that it likes "the white man's choice." I could go on. This pervasive background of racism is all over 4chan, and I wonder why you're trying to downplay it.


I'm actually familiar with 4chan and lurked on it when I was underage at least daily. It was funny for the time.

I'm not sure where the idea comes from that the entire site's reputation is containerized inside /pol/ or any NSFW board. It's just misleading if you take 5 minutes to browse around (if you still can, anyway). The language and harassment used in ALL boards of any group of people or individual is disgusting.


Yes, and everywhere else people have to worry about being deported for pointing out Israel's war crimes. At least no one needed to worry about that on 4Chan, but seeing an anonymous racist meme is even worse for people like you.


That is a completely separate problem, and it's dishonest making the comparison. Extremist right wing ideology and genocide is actively advocated on /pol/ as well as anti-Jewish rhetoric. Neo-nazism is not pointing out Israel's war crimes, and pointing out Israel's war crimes is not neo-nazism or anti-Jewish. /pol/ isn't antisemitic for Israel's genocide; they just hate Jewish people.

The Trump administration trying to deport people for doing so is also unjustified. People are freely criticizing Israel on other popular social media (notably TikTok and Instagram) without inciting a modern neo-nazi and right wing movement like what has happened on 4chan in the past 10 years.


I, too, prefer to see my vulgar memes served by an AI algorithm alongside ads. Sooooo much better!

/s


you think these are akin to endangered species? these are humans collectivizing and cloaking under maladaptive pretenses. you're advocating for empowering polio because it is life and deserves a chance.


It's impressive you're able to have decent results from free tiers and open source models.


Unfortunately, the Constitution's text has been increasingly under subject of debate. Trump himself is trying to redefine the meaning of the jurisdiction clause in birthright citizenship.
