In an unexpected chain of events, my glitch tools were used in the opening sequence of Blade Runner 2049 by talented studio-mate @Toronaydo

@danielleezzo Those are great bts vids!

I wrote an essay about using my camera roll as a love letter to New York—revisiting the mischievous little stories behind the images, twenty years in. Out soon in Arxipelag! arxipelag.com

Today fabric.graphics is having its first ever community virtual meet up at 5pm EST Curious about Fabric, or creative coding? Want to learn more? Join the discord! We’ll be discussing features, a small show and tell meeting the community. discord.com/invite/CrG92BG…

@kitvolta And with respect to api costs you’d be surprised what LM Studio and a newer qwen model can do with minimal vram

@kitvolta Btw I did something hysterical to get iMessage working with openclaw and friends - you can set up a child account to get secure comms and end to end encryption plus parental controls to help secure against side channel attacks and control contact lists. It’s really wild times.

I been hella depressed and anti tech for years but smth about this agent setup process is really making me marvel at real time communication It’s actually incredible that instant messaging and broadcasting technology exists

@GeorgieMySon75 @The_Astral_ Satellites.

@The_Astral_ What does orbital platforms mean if not the space station?

Ross Coulthart says congressional committees have been told the U.S. has detected alien craft on orbital platforms. 👀

Weather so nice even the dolphins came out to play!

Why are senior Trump officials urgently ordering Armageddon-proof bunkers for themselves since the war in Iran began? (The Telegraph)

@kitvolta @NousResearch I highly suggest docker or a virtual machine. Id be leery of an agent even on the same file system as another user, as frankly the risk of a mid configured folder could result in data loss, or data leakage. If you can’t imagine losing it, don’t put it on the same os.

Can anyone explain to a beautiful woman if there is a safe way to run @NousResearch Hermes agent on a personal machine If u run it in a docker container would that be enough Keep in mind I don’t know what I’m talking about I just want it to stay out of my files

@hxiao I thought a float 16 IOSurface properly formatted would do zero copy? Is that not correct ?

Seeing a lot of hype around ANE reverse engineering breakthroughs lately. Cool progress, but we benchmarked jina-v5-nano (12-layer 768d transformer) on M3 Ultra: • MLX GPU: 4ms • ANE hybrid (baked weights): 49ms • ANE hybrid (dynamic weights): 236ms ANE's value is low-power inference. It is not necessarily faster than MLX on desktop. MLX GPU does in 4ms what ANE does in 236ms on the same chip. Unified memory doesn't help when ANE must shuttle data through IOSurface kernel calls while GPU reads it directly via Metal with zero copy. People claiming ANE beats MLX for transformer inference have simply never used MLX.

This week’s conversation on my Substack is with Gregory Eddi Jones. We talk about creative hiatus, making art in a content-saturated world, and what it means to choose invisibility in an era that rewards constant output. @EddiJonesPrjcts danielleezzo.substack.com/p/rare-and-rem…

@hugothomel @ephemeralapps Jesus what architecture is the diffusion model. That’s awesome. Nice work!

@ephemeralapps it's a game running on a diffusion-based engine, which acts as a tiny world model. basically all frames are generated in real time by an ai model on the phone and conditioned to the actions of the player!

okay Apple you got me this is 90fps+ on my iPhone 16 at 512x512 I expected a perf boost going native but this is absolutely bananas let's see how big of a model I can play there 👀

PackUV: Packed Gaussian UV Maps for 4D Volumetric Video - PackUV — A new volumetric video representation that packs 3D Gaussian attributes into a sequence of UV atlases for efficient streaming and storage, making it readily compatible with existing video coding infrastructure. - PackUV-GS — An efficient method to fit PackUV directly from multiview videos using optical-flow-based keyframing and Gaussian labeling to handle large motions, disocclusions, and temporal consistency. - PackUV-2B — The largest multi-view 4D dataset with 2B frames, large motions, and disocclusions. It provides 360° coverage from 50+ synchronized cameras.

Today we released a Python SDK to access the on-device LLM used by the Swift Foundation Models framework! github.com/apple/python-a…

@MrBerneker @FFmpeg in theory, but im not sure if quicklook opts into the same path as avfoundation. we’ll see if we can get it working! This enables all apps that opt in.

@_vade @FFmpeg With quicklook?

Holy moly, we have what might be the worlds first working, open source Media Extension for macOS. MKV playback in AVFoundation: Huge milestone, with tons of help from codex hellping debug h264 NAL vs Annex B bullshit, and hints from @FFmpeg :) github.com/Fabric-Project…

@andpoul Yeah, since 14.0 but only public in 15, very few docs, no samples. System wide user space demux, decode and debayer extensions.

@_vade is this a new macos feature? neat

@stephencelis Huh I had no idea. That’s interesting. I need to catch up w modern swift concurrency.

Almost 4 years ago we started a Swift forum thread on how difficult it was to test certain aspects of async code. We can happily report today that almost all of our concerns have been addressed in the language. forums.swift.org/t/reliably-tes…

@jimmyjames_tech haha yes, thats the dream! Still a long way off, but it might be doable!

@_vade Been waiting so long for someone to do this I almost gave up hope. Perian lives!!!
