I think if we keep chasing nostalgia we'll never find the spark that led to eras/aesthetics like this in the first place. Creatives need to be experimenting again.

@SmallBaguette I believe so!

@finnir_ Are these the ones in the Pimax hand tracking module by any chance?

To anyone in the XR space please!! If anyone has spare Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 units, I need three to continue my project and do not know what to do now they are discontinued. I am willing to pay the original price

@warenosyo Thank you so much for the help! I will reach out soon.

@finnir_ Yes we have many of them. Please contact us via our inquirely form. --> en.shiftall.net/about

@RealPhilycheese I think that if you want to block a private business from purchasing land, water, and electricity, you do actually need a good reason, and if you can't provide that it's the politician's job to ignore you

WSJ had a quote from Artemis II’s commander, a widower who admits to “worry about his daughters. ‘I could have a very comfortable life for them. But I’m also a human, and I see the spirit in their eyes that is burning in my soul too. And so we’ve just got to never stop going.’”

@shaggysurvives The way to actually fuck an llm is to talk to the model for 10000 hours and then fine-tune a smaller model on those transcripts

It also appears to have zero intrinsic knowledge of in-engine lighting systems which is trivial to do these days. The engineering required to make this work real-time on consumer cards is seriously impressive, but honestly, this is so off the mark

so this straight up doesn’t work unless you force adherence to developer assigned character sheets for all major assets, especially faces

This guy’s gonna make it. He knows what’s up

The early image models made better art because they were still dreaming. We were seeing the shape of their subconscious. Now they're all conscious and opinionated, which makes the art worse.

@mattworkman If you can live with just two cards it’s actually pretty great. Has become second nature to me at least

at the Apple store yesterday and I saw they have a wallet that magnet sticks to the back of the phone... they said the phone tells you when it disconnects the wallet does anyone use that magnet wallet? I want that thing sodered to the motherboard or I'll lose it

I often think that when we're all living in the computer this will become the default. Not a world of flat overlapping rectangles but deep, rich, infinitely detailed workshops of floating Platonic solids, unbound by gravity or electromagnetism.

I REALLY want to see Ira Parker’s take on @LordGrimdark’s The Heros

Citrini’s article is very simply summarized by an undeniable truth I’ve been talking about for a long time. The economy runs on inefficiencies. Informational, cognitive, infrastructural, coordination. Most of these inefficiencies exist because human bandwidth is tiny relative to computer bandwidth. We process slowly, transmit context poorly, forget, misinterpret, and degrade information every time it passes from one biological brain to another. Entire sectors exist to buffer, reconcile, verify, route, and insure against those limitations. When silicon brains begin to replace biological ones, those inefficiencies dissipate because the underlying constraint disappears. Information can be processed continuously, decisions can be updated in real time, coordination can occur at machine speed, and large classes of friction embedded in markets lose their economic function. The closest historical analogue is the transition from animals to humans as the dominant cognitive layer on Earth. Ecosystems had been structured around animal constraints: local perception, instinct, short planning horizons, isolated memory. Humans introduced language, tools, cumulative knowledge, and large-scale coordination, which reorganized the environment around a new type of intelligence. AI represents the same category of shift directed at the human limitations that currently shape economic systems.

@edwardahn9 For better or worse this is all correct. I just sent a dm with some of my own thoughts!

lots of people are spending way too much on food delivery and we should all learn how to be better home cooks… but I’m not a fan of the de-cel nature of the current discourse
