Should have been done sooner, I take issue with the 3 who dissented and how long it took there get there. The constitution is clear on this matter. Prices are insane already, we don't need fake emergencies to drive up prices even more.

New comment by excerionsforte in "Claude Sonnet 4.6"

excerionsforte — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 19:12:28 +0000

I'm impressed with Claude Sonnet in general. It's been doing better than Gemini 3 at following instructions. Gemini 2.5 Pro March 2025 was the best model I ever used and I feel Claude is reaching that level even surpassing it.

I subscribed to Claude because of that. I hope 4.6 is even better.

Ok Google, I was deflated after you guys took away 03-25, but now I am happy again with 06-05. Hell yes, we are back baby!

Yes, it does worse but a far margin. Requires more instructions and way too eager to code without proper instructions unlike the 03-25 version. I want that version back.

New comment by excerionsforte in "Migrating away from Rust"

excerionsforte — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 20:21:19 +0000

I love Rust, but I would not try to make a full fledged game with it without patience. This post is not so much a moving away from Rust as much as Bevy is not enjoyable in its current form.

Bevy is in its early stages. I'm sure more Rust Game Engines will come up and make it easier. That said, Godot was great experience for me but doesn't run on mobile well for what I was making. I enjoy using Flutter Flame now (honestly different game engines for different genres or preference), but as Godot continues to get better, I personally would use Godot. Try Unity or Unreal as well if I just want to focus on making a game and less on engine quirks and bugs.

New comment by excerionsforte in "The Origins of Wokeness"

excerionsforte — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 19:12:35 +0000

The problem with words like "woke" is that there is no agreement on what it means. One sides it means this another says it means that. I think whatever it means to you shows truly what you believe. I don't use this word because it means nothing to me and I use more specific words to better communicate.

"Cancel Culture" has agreement on what it is, but one side says only the other side does it while doing it themselves. Give me a break. I just don't care enough about this.

Feminism, Privilege, gaslighting, toxic, DEI, etc. These words are perverted to mean whatever people want it to mean these days. Sometimes there is agreement other times there are not. DEI means inclusion spaces to one and exclusion/racism/sexism/ageism to another.

To address one part of the article about moral purity, again give me a break. We all have our compasses and will typically react with disgust to those who don't follow. Some people share some vague sense of moral compasses. You see it everywhere, not just politics. The spreading of outrage via the mainstream via internet and media outlets is really what has changed.

America, in its history, has had mobs that would be "woke" in today's culture apparently. Social media mobs are nothing fundamentally different.

Also, Twitter under Elon did censor people and ban words causing them to move to Mastodon and Threads before Bluesky, so let's not whitewash the suppression of "free speech" under him by saying that all he did was give more visibility to paying members when in fact it's what they settled on.

If PG actually wants better examples of moral purity and pushback against it, he can get in touch. Some of these examples are just not it.

Having to write a police report that can be used to self incriminate is also against the fifth amendment too with this logic then.
