evil ... yet. if op is really serious about fixing social networking he needs to figure out a way to operate it that wont enshittify. ie, public good, not for profit, something like that. as is hes already signaled he intends to enshittify

the most interesting thing here is actually maybe that this is cad targeted for easy 3dp modeling. while you wont ever unseat the big guys there is a lot more you could do to make this sub space better by targeting it. like could you make i

this is the approach that stop motion uses, except they get to keep the camera in the same place. its still not perfect because of spill from the background onto the foreground and requires additional masking and cleanup.

im familiar with this work and specifically they tried replicating the sodium vapor style approach but what worked for poppins level isnt actually good enough for today. Specifically you still end up with light spill that contaminates the f

youd have to train it to also generate and st map of the distortions but creating the ground truth version of that from the synthetic data would add a lot more to render. also its very easy to plausibly fake, its not something humans are go

the general problem with any technique that isnt just throw some vaugely green thing behind our actors is that setting up complicated tech like this on an actual film set is extremely expensive. both the time it would take and the risk of i

awesome glad you liked it. id love to try it out again if you implement any of them. idk what else to call the black squares so "enemy" felt right for the board fights back vibe. another nice thing i thought of with enemy block ty

Also enjoyed this, similar frustration at not being able to use powerups in a loss condition. Never got to the state where it felt like the "board fights back". This comment above about difficulty made me wonder if there are more

I think you are right, it's more fast food, or maybe to extend the metaphor its like processed or ultra-processed food. Systematically prepared with lots of ingredients to give you something that is "food" but has been modifi

id say maybe marketing? make a "healthy" social network and frame the other one as really bad for you? I wonder if there is anything to learn from other additive things? like a niccotine gum mode. a social network that starts you

i have that rule and the same exception for the 0. it feels like its "cyber" look done actually right with proper design (i dont let other inferior designs steal the word cyber). i would also add any decently good* ev minivan that

espresso machines are maybe in a different class of "coffee maker" but it seems like even the cheapest of those is pretty easy to service/repair/source parts. or in some cases even upgrade to improve capabilities... I di

do you know about the slate truck? give it a search. it doesn't even come with speakers. or electric windows. or paint. it does have a backup camera afaik.

real question, how much would you be willing to pay a month for access to a healthy social network? (borrowing another comments clarification on the term vs social media) healthy as in: has real people that you really know. Has no ads or bo

my personal distinction I use is about measurements. while you may model to a specific scale for use in 3d gfx (game by engine/animation/vfx) you cross over from "modeling" to "cad" as soon as you are creating

if we dont want it we need to vote with your wallet then, buy a slate truck when they come out. if you dont want a pickup thing buy it anyway so they eventually make a car in the shape you like when they learn there is a huge market for sim

But a permanent license… that more than makes up for the node locked. I don’t have more than two machines I want to edit things like this on anyway. And even if I did I think it’s like 200$, which is like 1/6th of a month of Onshape.

Yeah I’m not saying you shouldn’t have a file that is possible to sanity check if that’s important to your system, but I would say (contrary to op and many comments) that we shouldn’t design around that as the core feature assumption. We do

Yes this ^ It totally is a pipe dream to find some magic flat human readable file that does all this, you need to think of it as a config system not a config file. So then why aren't we questioning our core assumption here that the sol

I’m sure it’s for many reasons but I guarantee that one is that they don’t get the ancillary sales. Eg I go to Amazon looking for socks, they have lots of time to show me other things I might buy. Maybe some other customers who bought socks

There are also a bunch more available information channels that this doesn’t use that could communicate more information. Color, shape, pattern line type, “backdrops”/groups could all be implemented to provide additional visual clarit

I consume all text as images when I read as a vision capable person so it kinda passes the evolution does it that way test and maybe we shouldn’t be that surprised that vision is a great input method? Actually thinking more about that I con

Like everything apple it’s not that they made something wildly new, they just found a way to do something more polished than anyone else that then is successful with a specific subset of vocal people. I’m not much of a digital artist and vi

Agree pens are underrated as input over mice. Or for ar (fingers). Maybe apple will make a pen input for a Vision Pro thing someday… though knowing them it’ll be some crazy vision based tracing system thing that requires special hardware i
