I'm stumbling onto a challenging task for any AI I've tried: I'm trying to get a correct description of the basic Lego assembly depicted here, with steps. They all messed up: Grok2, Gemini2, Sonnet3.5, GPT-4o and o1. I've tried with the full manual page, or this zoom. Same.

@archiptere Je venais justement demander si il y avait possiblité de cross-post vos threads super interessants sur Bluesky, afin de continuer à pouvoir les lire. L'atmosphère y est bonne, et les comptes comme le votre gagnent vite en followers grace aux listes.

Mais vous partez vraiment tous sur Bluesky ou c'est juste une balade digestive pour faire passer les élections US ?

@kimusan @hmltn Does the Quest+ trial that comes with the purchase of the quest, and allow to redeem tons of games for free, potentially explaining it as well ? That’s a lot of games to go through before needing to buy a new one…

I am curious who the Quest 3S is for. For some of those already using VR it may be a step up (from the OG Quest, Rift etc) but for those saying they are not really interested in VR it is still not cheap enough. Those that had a Quest or Quest 2 and bought the 3S have many apps and games already. I guess they will buy some of the new games that are only available for the 3 and 3S.

@albn Discovered that a year ago with bouldering !

Just like you want to find a job that doesn’t feel like work, it’s great to find a sport that doesn’t feel like work. That’s packraft for me, it’s an adventure before being a workout, but also a great workout. Biking is a good option as well.

State-Based Model Target, a quick how to: 1. - Import your CAD into Creo Illustrate 2. - Create a sequence (animations + shader) 3. - Export as a .PVZ file 4. - Generate and train the SBMT. 5. - Test your SBMT (Vuforia Creator App). 6. - Bring the SBMT into your app #XR #vuforia

@dieworkwear And this is not really in a walkable community…

i say this with great love and respect but every home in the french countryside looks like it has a little bunny in a blue chore coat living in it

We released State Based Model Target in beta : this new feature allows you to keep track of an object, even when its aspect changes drastically over time, due to assembly/disassembly. Stay tune for an how-to video. In the meantime : developer.vuforia.com/library/model-…… #AR #Vuforia

Did anyone try to proxy for GPT-4 / Claude in a Warhammer game, taking pictures of the battle and asking for next moves ? Wondering if a multi-modal model fine-tuned on rulesets could play the game properly over pictures...

Who is building an AI-powered paper RPG GameMaster ?

@ATinyGreenCell @iris_IGB Followed @iris_IGB for the LK99 story, but staying for those incredible threads. Godspeed to you both !

Flowers, to me, are the medium I wish to express myself in. I tried so many forms of art, with what little resources I had, and could never find my voice. The trumpet got close, with its soft whispers and loud roars, but I felt sound to be so invasive to others. 1/n

@whoisvaibhav @8teAPi This is best anecdote I’ve ever read and it is always a pleasure to read it again

Just moments after the Cessna's inquiry, a Twin Beech piped up on frequency, in a rather superior tone, asking for his ground speed. "I have you at one hundred and twenty-five knots of ground speed." Boy, I thought, the Beechcraft really must think he is dazzling his Cessna brethren. Then out of the blue, a navy F-18 pilot out of NAS Lemoore came up on frequency. You knew right away it was a Navy jock because he sounded very cool on the radios. "Center, Dusty 52 ground speed check". Before Center could reply, I'm thinking to myself, hey, Dusty 52 has a ground speed indicator in that million-dollar cockpit, so why is he asking Center for a readout? Then I got it, ol' Dusty here is making sure that every bug smasher from Mount Whitney to the Mojave knows what true speed is. He's the fastest dude in the valley today, and he just wants everyone to know how much fun he is having in his new Hornet. And the reply, always with that same, calm, voice, with more distinct alliteration than emotion: "Dusty 52, Center, we have you at 620 on the ground." And I thought to myself, is this a ripe situation, or what? As my hand instinctively reached for the mic button, I had to remind myself that Walt was in control of the radios. Still, I thought, it must be done - in mere seconds we'll be out of the sector and the opportunity will be lost. That Hornet must die, and die now. I thought about all of our Sim training and how important it was that we developed well as a crew and knew that to jump in on the radios now would destroy the integrity of all that we had worked toward becoming. I was torn. Somewhere, 13 miles above Arizona, there was a pilot screaming inside his space helmet. Then, I heard it. The click of the mic button from the back seat. That was the very moment that I knew Walter and I had become a crew. Very professionally, and with no emotion, Walter spoke: "Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check?" There was no hesitation, and the replay came as if was an everyday request. "Aspen 20, I show you at one thousand eight hundred and forty-two knots, across the ground." I think it was the forty-two knots that I liked the best, so accurate and proud was Center to deliver that information without hesitation, and you just knew he was smiling. But the precise point at which I knew that Walt and I were going to be really good friends for a long time was when he keyed the mic once again to say, in his most fighter-pilot-like voice: "Ah, Center, much thanks, we're showing closer to nineteen hundred on the money." For a moment Walter was a god. And we finally heard a little crack in the armor of the Houston Center voice, when L.A.came back with, "Roger that Aspen, Your equipment is probably more accurate than ours. You boys have a good one." It all had lasted for just moments, but in that short, memorable sprint across the southwest, the Navy had been flamed, all mortal airplanes on freq were forced to bow before the King of Speed, and more importantly, Walter and I had crossed the threshold of being a crew. A fine day's work. We never heard another transmission on that frequency all the way to the coast. For just one day, it truly was fun being the fastest guys out there.

Wait the SR-71 could go from LA to DC in one hour?

@tom_krikorian Ça me manque toujours mais je ne supportais plus d’être dépendant ! Le sevrage a été difficile (fatigue, mal au crâne diffus pendant un mois…). Mais rien à voir avec la clope je pense, donc encore bravo !

@flgrm2 Ha ben le café j’en suis à 23 jours 😂 J’élimine tout ce qui peut me provoquer des crises de Psoriasis et il me restait plus que le café après la clope et l’alcool 😬 Bravo en tout cas ! Le café c’est pas une belle addiction non plus 😅

🥳 Never going back 💪

@dieworkwear love reading your threads ! They brought one question if you mind : if someone wanted to do his own tailoring, could a single individual access the high quality textiles they would need, or is sourcing only possible if you are a company /reputable shop ?

If you feel like you’re having a bad day, think about the cops that will have to sort out the mess after the Dark Matter season finale.

@komakinex @ZibraAI Emitter + project setup :

@flgrm2 @ZibraAI Thank you! Could you also show me the parameters of Smoke & Fire Emitter?

After 2 years of occasional experiments with realtime fluid sim in AR, I've stumbled upon @ZibraAI which is so much better than anything else I tried. Finally some realistic volumetric flow sim than run on mobile. Combined with @Vuforia Model Target, it's incredibly compelling.

@komakinex @ZibraAI Here are the settings I have on my emitter :

@flgrm2 @ZibraAI I'm testing with Smoke&Fire and the particles that I'm controlling using the particle emitter, each one looks small and point-like. Do you achieve these long particles by simply changing Particle Emitter params? Are you using a non-default texture with Render Mode set to Sprite?

It's always fun to see this project suddenly get some views and RT out of Japan, without any particular reason :) x.com/flgrm2/status/…
