"Clearly if your manager passes your doc through an LLM, you made an error in judgment" It could also be the PM, passing everything through an LLM to make it "more understandable". Clearly, they didn't care enough to check the result.

Agreed, but that's outside my direct sphere of influence. If anyone passes my text through a spell checker, I would use it to adjust my process too.

The boss also tried to fix it in the lowest effort manner possible, without even checking the results.

"Perhaps you should ask the manager why he passed it through AI."

Because they were lazy and disrespectful, done.

As someone into performance cars and motorcycles, removing a cat is pretty uncommon, and you're generally seen as a dick if you do it.

There are a lot of "street mechanics" who will remove your cat for free without even needing to ask.

If your program does 1 million adds, but it takes significantly longer than 19 milliseconds, you can guess that something else is going on.

Seb is incredibly passionate about games and graphics programming. You can find old posts of his on various forums, talking about tricks for programming the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, etc etc. He regularly posts demos he's working on, progress clips of various engines, etc, on twitter, after staying in the same area for 3 decades.

I wish I still had this level of motivation :)

It's rather: can you find a company that pays you for having and extending this arcane knowledge (and even writing about it)?

Even if your job involves such topics, a lot of jobs that require this knowledge are rather "political" like getting the company's wishes into official standards.

Would you have have chosen to work at your job if you were never going to get paid?

No? But there's a difference between knowing that (which is an obvious fact that anyone would agree with) and walking into your job one day and reminding them you're only there to get paid.

Damn, so you can just choose to not have guns pointed in your face? Regardless of where you live?

Everyone who has had a gun pointed in their face must have been really stupid then.

It definitely makes it simpler. You can do a per-screen window sort, rather than per-pixel :).

Per-pixel sorting while racing the beam is tricky, game consoles usually did it by limiting the number of objects (sprites) per-line, and fetching+caching them before the line is reached.

I remember coding games for the C64 with an 8 sprite limit, and having to swap sprites in and out for the top and bottom half of the screen to get more than 8.

It depends on your network though. In my case the image quality was good, but going to the link cable was a substantial improvement in quality and latency.
