Worked adjacent to the AV space 5~ years ago. This wasn’t my area but I remember learning that this was a robustly solved problem long ago.

GoreTex is a bad example - it's gonna delaminate after a year or so of heavy use and is pretty much impossible to repair after that. Which also undercuts ACRONYM's messaging about their GoreTex products being some kind of like, bu

I’m sure there’ll be a PS6, but it honestly seems like non-portable consoles are on their way out. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s no next-gen TV console XBox at all, or if it’s just a MS branded gaming PC.

From someone that worked in the industry ~6 years ago, it's clearly going well for them - frankly, they're expanding and scaling way faster than I would have thought possible in 2019. They've got something like 6 cities runni

Weird, I thought it was one of the best movies I've seen in the last few years. Wasn't at all what I expected to see, but was incredibly memorable and impactful. F1 on the other hand was maybe the worst offender as far as literali

Dude, I explicitly replied that I pinpointed it to Next. The moment I removed the Image tag and replaced it with a regular <img />, it resolved itself. I didn’t even say I was using three, did I?

The most confusing part is that it only happened really intensely on just one developer's machine. I'll admit that the way we were using the image tag was a little unusual, but still something that was imminently supported by a pl

Lee Robinson from Vercel is gonna show up in this thread as soon as he wakes up, don’t worry.

Don’t ever use Next. Terrible developer experience, vendor lock in, weird undocumented conventions that make building anything other than some kind of B2B SaaS CRUD site full of undocumented foot guns. My favorite thing I’ve encountered is

Why are you going all in on world models instead of basing everything on top of a 3D engine that could be manipulated / rendered with separate models? If a world model was truly managing to model a manifold of a 3D scene, it should be

It’s essentially this paper but applied to a bunch of video recordings of a bunch of different real world locations instead of counter strike maps. Each channel is just changing the location. https://diamond-wm.github.io/

This is pretty much the same thing as those models that baked dust2 into a diffusion model then used the last few frames as context to continue generating - same failure modes and everything. https://diamond-wm.github.io/

There are immersive theater-type events that can scratch the same itch, although they tend to focus much less on participation than LARP events like this. The Starcruiser is probably much closer to poorly-executed immersive theater than liv

Next has been a nightmare to use every step of the way. Endless undocumented ways to shoot yourself in the foot, especially if you’re trying to deploy somewhere other than Vercel. I can’t imagine anyone using it for anything other than the

I commented on your other thread - but you should really clean up your information diet. From the vocabulary you use and the tone of your game and pitch deck, I can tell you’re someone that hangs on the words of tech industry ‘thought leade

I’ve evaluated almost any model that’s come out for game asset generation in the last few years and none of them are up to snuff. That alone tells me you haven’t looked at the output of these models closely or aren’t familiar with Gamedev.

I feel like you’re trying to launch a consumer product like it’s a B2B SaaS company. As it is (broken site with no polish, little to no gameplay features, product hunt banner) you seem like you’re to trying to chase AI/metaverse trends

As someone that experienced it several times, the red ring of death was a 270 degree circular segment - a full red ring indicates cable failure.

I think most rage bait about the Warhammer series is manufactured by content farm channels to generate clicks - the series wasn’t even officially in development until a few weeks ago. There’s an entire subgenre of YouTube channels that cons

It’s not really consistent - or anymore consistent than, say, SDXL with IP adapter. Even in their example images the character they’ve input comes out wearing different clothes.

I’d advise you to ignore lay explanations of the space - outside of the industry most of the discourse about self driving cars is poisoned by Elon’s deceptive presentations and his followers who parrot what he says. If you want a grounded e

Neither of them are “full AI/ML”, they’re both traditional robotics systems with ML used for detection/prediction/planning at certain steps. Elon will sometimes say something about moving to a “new ML stack”, but Tesla revers

Fundamentally different - people will flock to LiDAR vs Vision when debating this, but the more fundamental difference is that Waymo uses HD mapping + remote support.

Usually the people that give information to outlets in cases like this are directly involved in the stories in question and are hoping to gain some advantage by releasing the information. So maybe this is just a tactic that’s not as favored

The first thing Waymo tried building (way back when, circa 2010 or so) was highway based driver assist in the style of Autopilot. They did a ton of testing with it and didn’t like how quickly their testers stopped paying attention despite a
