    With all the Nigerian princes out there, you'd think one of the bastards would have already made an official claim to the throne.

    "cringelord" I cracked. Had never seen that used before, yet so obvious now in retrospect. Pure poetry.

    Not sure what's worse, if the AI slop content, or the AI code slop that makes the site consume 100% of a single CPU core (and if you enable GPU rendering on the browser, CPU usage …

    Sorry, but you simply prompted an LLM and didn't even bother reviewing the output per our other discussion about pthreads. I'm not sure you can claim to be an expert, let alone put…

    It wasn't me flagging, by the way. The burden of proof also falls on the person making the claim.

    I see, I wasn't aware of that one. Typically I'd assign an ID, but yeah, names make things easier.

    What do you mean you didn't notice? I saw another comment about Claude below, are you not even reviewing the output? I just browsed the project for two minutes and it's one of the …

    Why are you using pthread instead of std::thread?

    Interesting use of DoF, hadn't seen that in an isometric game. Art looks really good too.

    The best part is that the era isn't gone; you can buy those and the games, and it's not even an expensive hobby. And people also know how to / can repair them.

    Yeah, and in the blog post he mentions that he had to transform the data to SoA. If he had done that alone, he might already have seen a speedup from better cache utilization. Also…

    As a SIMD noob, one thing that wasn't obvious to me is that SIMD can also speed you up if your mem throughput is underutilized by having the CPU load more data per instruction. It …
