It feels like 50% of AI "progress" is just finding different ways to say "tell the model things in English."

With a few notable exceptions (James Cameron) the film industry is largely unconcerned with "possibility." I think this is often why there is such a big misunderstanding from tech folks about how movies are made, since tech is ver

Sure, but saying that AI is the magic bullet to solve this is completely speculative. If and when a fully GenAI film is released and performs well at the box office, than I'm sure the industry will align itself to the new direction. Bu

Man, this is so misguided.... 1. Stagecraft/virtual production is a thing, yes, but the backgrounds are not "AI rendered," they're 3D scenes built in Unreal. They have to be, because they need to dynamically react to the

This is good general advice. If your software needs a "tour," that's a good indicator you should work on your UX instead. If you're just excited to tell the user about a new feature, they'll discover it when they ne

If this is important to you, Shotdeck is a (paid) alternative with tons of detail about every shot.

Odin is not like JS or something where you'd need a VM or transpilation process to target an embedded system. It's just C with nicer syntax and modern data structures, there's no "squeezing" required. You just compi

You can look at my repo here: https://github.com/MadlyFX/odin-embedded-boilerplate I don't believe Xtensa (ESP32) is supported yet, but people have been asking for it, so it may happen at some point. ARM is well s

I've been using Odin for about 6 months now, and to be honest, it's hard to find fault with it. I've used it for STM32 microcontroller firmware, web and desktop applications, and all are performant and compile quickly. My one

And therein lies the rub. Unreal 5 is massive and complex, and there comes a point where it takes longer to understand how to layer on your own customizations than just to start from scratch. Especially for indie developers. I wanted to mak

Can I ask a dumb question to those smarter than I: Is this way of visualizing temperature/pressure accurate, or is it an abstraction for convenience in the same way that depicting electrons "flowing through wires" is?

The key difference is the founder built a product in search of a problem to solve, rather than the other way around. The "secret" is just to talk to people in the field they're trying to "revolutionize," and ideally

When I was younger, I was always paranoid when I reached out to somebody and didn't hear back. Now that I'm older and busier, I totally get it. Clearly state who you are, what you want, and what your timeline is. It's far eas

I was going to say, I don't understand what this does that Revit doesn't already do better. I guess it's a fun demo, but I doubt this was a problem that needed solving.

Absolutely. One of the major purposes of art is as a way to communicate things that can not be put into words. And if that's the case, how could one ever hope to create it with a prompt?

The comment wasn't about CC specifically. If you rely (like, can't ship without it) on any model that you don't control, it's not really your product. If Dario decides to increase pricing 500% because it's Tuesday

Surely a company as large as Microsoft is actively attempting to build their own models. They couldn't possibly have expected to stake the future of their software development on the conditions of a third party company?
