Here it is! Let me present you Asset Cooker. It's a build system aimed at game assets, with a UI. It is using the USN journals from Windows to robustly keep track of file changes, and only cook what needs to be cooked. You can leave it running in... show more

No more CMake for game assets! No more your engine having to check every file on load to see if it's up to date! The github repo is here: And the video on youtube in case the quality here isn't great:

Jeremy Laumon2 years ago

And also a link to @Srekel's Tides of Revival (which provided all the files, and the testing! And @gmodarelli providing the shaders!)

Near perfect, only missing the superfluous character telling you jokes while cooking assets🧑‍🍳

Jeremy Laumon2 years ago

It wasn't possible to make another character like that, this one was too perfect 🥲

Congrats on putting it out there dude! That coding style looks veeery familiar 😄 How do you deal with USN journal rollover? A full rescan? I recall that being a problem when working on the asset indexer; a single p4 sync would often blow through the journal…

Jeremy Laumon2 years ago

Yes if it happens while Asset Cooker was closed it will rescan on the next start. I've seen it happen with a project on C:/ after doing a Windows update haha. Though at the moment scanning is pretty fast because I'm not hashing files (yet!)

dek2 years ago

sounds like a cool idea, can it be automated? can you use it via command line, for automated builds? what about build flags, stuff like that? e.g. building at higher compression rates for production. can you do stuff like using your own file formats and converters?

Jeremy Laumon2 years ago

Using via command line for automated builds not yet, but it's definitely something I want to add. You can use your own converters, Asset Cooker just calls command lines based on the rules you set up in its config file.

Can't believe in less than 24 hours I created my own game with Claude and Three.js. Running in a browser at 120 FPS. All I had to do was give Claude the repo for Threejs and describe an MMO-like game for it to build from scratch. All the assets and mechanics you see are all from a prompt. As you can see, it is far from done but the progress is insane. Everyone should be using Three.js now without a doubt!

I've been using this (Pseudo-)Global Variable system in Unreal for a while now and thought I would share it. It enables you to have certain variables in one place through a data asset and you can even tweak them while the game is running. Full Tutorial:

RedNova: From Arbitrary File Write to Command Execution Using COM in Windows Months ago, I wrote a post ( about the unique method used in the RedSun exploit to turn a file write into command execution by using a COM object that can be triggered by a low-privileged user and runs as SYSTEM. In that post, I mentioned that there are other COM objects that can be used in the same way. I presented one object called CoFilterPipeline and noted that it needs some tricks before it can be weaponized. Now I've written a full blog post on how you can find such objects and how you can weaponize them in exploits like RedSun. The video below shows another COM object with the same behavior (windows 11). It's called PerceptionSimulationCoClass. A low-privileged user can activate it, and it runs as SYSTEM. The video doesn't contain any exploit (it just replaces the COM server as administrator). The goal is only to demonstrate how a file write can be turned into command execution as SYSTEM while being triggered by a low-privileged user.

If you have an idea for an app and you want to build it fast and deploy it with a lot of the controls that a developer would want, the experience on Replit ⠕ is pretty amazing. I recorded this quick video while I'm sitting here at Philz before dinner tonight. Let me know your thoughts: Who's using Replit? Who likes it? What don't you like? What works? What doesn't?

john bollinger invented the most famous indicator in trading. after 46 years he can tell if your system will fail before you finish explaining it: "you can tell immediately whether it's going to be successful by how many lines it is. if it takes two or three lines to describe it, the odds are it could be a very good system. if it takes 150 lines to describe it, the odds are it's going to be a terrible system." "we want to understand what we do on an intuitive level. the only way to do that is if it's simple." complexity in a trading system is usually just overfitting.

This is your reminder to play The Dream, 404’s Chroma Award-winning game built using SN17-generated assets. At 404, we aim to help kickstart the next revolution in gaming around AI-native games. That starts with democratising 3D content creation through Bittensor, making it easier for creators to build virtual worlds, games, and AR/VR/XR experiences without needing massive production teams. The long-term vision is to let creators describe the game or world they want to build, then generate the assets, sound, voice, and environment around it. The Dream is an amazing example of that vision. It is a fully playable 3D open-world experience created by a two-person team in just 30 days, using over 12,000 assets generated with 404. The goal is not to replace enterprise game development. It is to create a new layer where individuals and small teams can build and explore high-fidelity game worlds without needing a massive AAA-style pipeline. Sometimes, you need to see it to believe it. Play The Dream yourself at:

Culture is genetic because behavior is genetic. This beaver never saw a dam in its life. No beavers or anything else ever taught it to build a dam. It wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Many beavers together build a big dam. That is beaver culture. Humans are not different. Nothing is different. This is what life is. This is how life works. Your body is your mind. A caterpillar wants to build a chrysalis. A bee wants to build a hive. A lion wants to build a pride. You are not special. You are not above your nature. you are INSIDE of it. The thoughts that we think are genetic thoughts. The crimes we commit are genetic crimes. The art we create is genetic art. Just like this beaver, you can give the animal different sticks and it will build a different dam, but it will always build a dam. And you can give humans different "education," but the human will always use it to do what its genes tell it to do. This is the first big answer that you need. This is the biggest piece of the puzzle. This is how to understand people 90% of the way. You just... notice what they do, and get out of the way, and watch them do it. And if they need sticks, you give them sticks. And if you don't like what they do, you have to get away from them. You cannot train dam-building into them or out of them any more than you can with a beaver. A beaver wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Whatever you see people build, that's what they wanted to build from the sticks they got in the river they were in. Stop pretending you can change it.

It's called "The American dream" because you have to be asleep to believe it. The game is rigged, but you don't have to be another slave of the system forever. Reflect. Make changes. Build that skillset to be ahead of the herd 🤝

Most people still think crypto is about tokens going up and down. It isn't. Or at least, that's the smallest part of what's happening. Money is about to start moving at silicon speed. Billions of agents transacting with each other, negotiating, settling and running full businesses at a velocity no human system can match. Bonkers when you think about it. And politics won’t be able to keep up… regulation is like trying to catch a bullet with a butterfly net. Once the machines have their own rails, money, and economy running in the background, they won’t be waiting for us. We'll be the dumb, slow ones, watching it happen from outside. Onchain rails are the only thing built for that tempo. Which is why owning a piece of it is owning the operating system the next economy runs on.

I just watched AI build a game from a sentence. No Unity. No Unreal. No code. No files. I simply described the game I wanted to make, and Gear Zero planned it, coded it, created the visuals, and turned it into a playable game in my browser. But this is the part that got me 👇 You don’t just generate it and leave. You keep talking to Gear. Change things. Add features. Polish the game. Keep building. It feels less like using an AI game generator… …and more like having a game dev team you can talk to 24/7. The future of making games might actually look like this. Try it →

Everyone teaches you what to wear. No one teaches you how to build a wardrobe that you don't have to reinvent every morning. Your wardrobe is the only business asset that works before you say a word. It backs up your track record and personal brand, and, between you and me... It shows you grew up. With The Curated Outfit, I help founders turn that asset into leverage.

We just launched a generative craft system inside Marble App. Kids can now create anything and turn it into a 3D object on their map. It's designed to be realistic, so kids have to use their brain to make things happen. It works like this: 1) You describe or sketch what you want to build 2) Marble creates a blueprint you can iterate on 3) You pick the resources and tools you think you need to make it (if you have them) 4) Marble crafts the object. If the build is successful and you can drop it on your map! Since you can create your own tools, there is no limit to what you can build with this system. So excited to see what kids make with it!

"I think the main eerie similarity is that feeling of rage, rage everywhere against a failing state, a system, a way of government, and it's not a question of politics.... people feel the centre is failing. It's not working, we're not delivering. And the rage is growing... and the question is what to do about it, what can be done about it? And in a way, this film is about what happened 600 years ago. When you have that tinderbox and then it only needs a spark." Paul Greengrass tells me what inspired his latest film 'The Uprising' and why it feels "incredibly contemporary."

This is one of the simplest ways to be more consistent at the plate. “Eyes behind the ball.” That’s it. - Track it longer. - Let it travel. - Stop trying to hit it out of the pitchers hand and let it come to you. > Save this for when you need it. > Send it to a hitter who does.
