Since that image is a little hard to read, this is what the menus look like. Once you know the "look" of Imgui, you'll see it in every game! I know Kerbal Space Program and Trackmania both use Imgui. You can make windows, menus, buttons, sliders, etc. etc. etc. with a couple lines of code

A sample Imgui menu from the aforementioned project. There's colored buttons, drop-downs, sliders, icons, windows, and a lot more

You can see this in action in the paper, I'm just taking the first example I found. Changing things in J-space changes what the model says is statistically likely to come next. It _does_ learn this in RL, but it learns _connections_, not _outputs_. transformer-circuits.pub/2026/workspa...

A screenshot from Anthropic's paper. It shows the results of swapping "Rugby" in J-space when the model was "thinking" of "Soccer". The output weights have compeltely changed, preferring "Cricket" to "Football".

In my Kyle era (Lmao I look like a fuckboi)

Me wearing the most fuckboi Apex Legends hat of all time. It does not look good. I am not pulling it off. Women cross the street when they see me

Jay Stevens@jaystevens· Jul 6

Honestly I look pretty cool bald. As in it is very cold. Help. (I understand why bald people wear hats now; it's cold!)

The Tiki Room had this weird switch in the CM break room. I would play with it sometimes after closing trying to figure out what it did. It didn't seem to break anything...

When I was done working on it, we reintroduced it at shows and it won some more awards. I could totally see something like My Dress-Up Darling but focused on model train competitions lmao

This is my club's (@group160ntrak.org) tornado module. Built in the 90s, won a bunch of awards. In the late 2000s it broke, and then during the pandemic I came on and helped get it back in working order by using some 3D printer parts. The tornado hits the town but leaves the trailer park intact 😉

Here's an example of the window AC unit I have. You can see that half the window has been replaced with plywood, while the other half of the window is still there. I just swapped the double window for a single. Does Europe not have double windows?

Aurra Sing is a bounty hunter girl. She has like one appearance in Episode I and then shows up as a recurring villain in the Clone Wars cartoon. Ben Quadinaros is a podracer guy who shows up in like 1 scene and never appears again.

(Pics related, a Christmas 2014-era CM backstage meet and greet - the LAST of these meet and greets. CMs were all sent to hang out away from guests in the Opera House, watch Disney cartoons, eat cookies, and get our picture taken with Pluto - all on the clock)

My @repebble.com Time 2 is here! I couldn't afford an OG Pebble back in the day. Super excited to finally have one! Thanks to @ericmigi.com for bringing it back! (Side note: anyone know of a case? 99% of the time I love blue, but my wedding colors are green and gold and I'd love my watch to match)

My Legal Name LivingForGod Means: Living A Life Refecting The Good Character of
Jesus Christ; it is my foundation, my operating system, and compass. As a chaplain it is
my opinion that any success built on the foundation of deceit and corruption is like
building a castle on the sand. So when the storm screams against the windshield, I will
not finch! When it comes to the kind of turbulence that brings planes down, I will be
the pilot who punches through the storm so the passengers (You the People) can
breathe again. As a successful business man I built Big Time Pest Control from the
ground up, then sold it trading upper management to serve as a chaplain, in the
trenches, kneeling hand-in-hand, with the forgotten, and the broken. My heritage is a
map of U.S. American grit, stretching from Samuel Fuller, the Doctor of the Mayfower
to the lightning rod of Ben Franklin. But I’m not looking back—I’m looking forward to all
of California, where people are feeling abandoned and betrayed! I have a plan to STOP illegal ICE operations; and
a chaplain’s heart to remember who the system serves. I’m 100% against the miles-driven tax. To Make California
Great Again, PROTECT THE PEOPLE! As the old parties are debating the heat over who bought the matches,
while the dumpster fre burns; I’m handing you a fre extinguisher! That’s why I am the best choice for Governor of
California. • www.DeMottForGovernor.com

Naomi Bar-Lev | NO QUALIFIED PARTY PREFERENCE
The party system has defnitively failed us. Media’s incomplete reporting, unforgivable.
My background includes a BA in Economics, UCLA, real estate broker for 20 plus years,
construction experience, vice president, managing hundreds of loan ofcers and
agents, to a robust Airbnb business. Improvements were made to my property to
double the business’s income, the very year vandalism and espionage against me
began. Survival of continued attacks has enlightened me! I wrote a primer about the
tyranny that has taken over, its explosive corruption, its use of police, the courts,
technology, corporatism (https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-bar-lev-56b894346). Big
tech partnerships now are violating civil and consumer rights as well as anti-trust law.
At the center are fusion centers, hubs of information and military grade technology—6
centers statewide run by “local police”. They have connected all devices, espionage
made possible against the individual and business, which has transformed the courts. I am no friend to politicians.
As governor, fusion centers will be for serious investigations of fraud, theft, and waste, a healthy revenue source
with a leaner budget. Police will return to neighborhoods, fghting crime, taking reports equally among citizens,
using a constitutionally compliant database. Phones and devices will be recalled, past services refunded, phone,
alarm systems, wif . . . “Partnerships” and non-disclosure agreements in government will be eliminated. A
hiring spree to stock consumer and civil rights agencies, local and state leaders replaced by public servants. No
sales, income, or property tax. Parking fees and permit fees will be eliminated.

Yeah, I think this is mostly right but tbh I think you need more circles

The "Calvin's Dad explains" meme. In it, Calvin's Dad says:
CALVIN'S DAD: "The two types of game designer are balance and drama."
CALVIN'S DAD: "Chris Sawyer? Balance. Will Wright? Drama."
CALVIN: "Yeah..."
CALVIN'S DAD: "Despite Civilization being a franchise about managing balances, Sid Meier is drama."
*Calvin is lying awake at night in frustration*

* Stancil said trans folks/furries are like Kiwifarms for him and called on Bluesky moderation to "clean house" * The current Discourse is Stancil stans upset at Stancil being harassed vs. trans folks/furries upset about Stancil singling them out for his supporters to harass back

A post by Will Stancil:
"Guys can we please clean house on this site? It's left kiwi farms, people who believe that being leftist or trans or a furry or whatever gives them unlimited license to torture others, even though it's excruciatingly clear it's just a highly enjoyable sport for most of these people"

Jay Stevens@jaystevens· May 3

* A TikTok person said that Stancil ruined a honeypot operation to catch ICE by posting/taking credit for it * Everyone got mad * Stancil said it was a lie, and lies like that make it hard for him to get a gf * Turns out Stancil was right

A post by Will Stancil:

Like for very large numbers of people I am primarily now known as a bad person, someone who can't be trusted (especially with women!), a universal object of contempt and hate. It leaks into my daily life, people hear about it. And it's founded on complete lies!

I mean I went on a date recently and the girl texted me after to tell me she was listening to a podcast and someone randomly brought me up and said they wished a tornado would hit my house and would die, and wanted to know what that was about. What do I say to that??

The usual cadence for Apex is 45ish days between major patches. It's typically 90 days between seasons. There's fluctuation but it works out to ~8 big patches/year. Minor patches are 1-2 weeks (give or take), but only show up on the Apex Comms social account and don't get broadcasted more widely

The Apex Legends roadmap, showing the seasonal cadence and roughly what will be introduced within each season. It goes out to season 32 right now, which is Feb-April of 2027.

There are a wide variety of things being updated; too many to really list and explain well in this alt-text.
