But that doesn't mean there's *zero* good use cases. It's hard to take someone seriously if they outright refuse to acknowledge that someone, somewhere, might find AI models useful for something. It's completely detached from reality.

I have to hand it to you, posting this on Bluesky is brave. These replies are something else.
FWIW I agree that "you can't be a serious critic if you're in denial about how useful it is", even if I don't agree with every point you make.

I was always disappointed because I bought my Dreamcast secondhand many years after release and the VMU was busted so I never got a chance to try it out.

Hopefully it's just a regular infection that clears up with antibiotics. I've avoided them for years unless absolutely necessary because I think they can do more harm than good, but this is so bad I've relented.

I’m sure the only reason I found Death of Stalin funny is because I wasn’t living in the Soviet Union in 1953.

Watching the movie makes you remember that someone like David Sacks is vaguely seated near a position of power, which is truly horrifying.

OpenAI really rubs me up the wrong way, but as far as normies are concerned, they have incredible mindshare. ChatGPT is a big brand.

This is also a roundabout way of saying "I have a lot of respect for people who write as a living".

...but man, I really dislike writing nowadays. It's such a slog. I feel like I oscillate between too little and too much detail, I'm constantly going back-and-forth editing and revising, the end result isn't even great, and at least if I was doing "real" work, I'd be getting paid for it!

If you've got piles of cash to burn (check) and a non-toxic brand (check), this seems like a decent move.
On the other hand, Arc shut down (I think?) without a murmur, and they would have been a cheap buy. So maybe it's not on the table.

Ah, I had changed Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy from 'require-corp' (supported by Safari) to 'credentialless' (not supported). Reverting that change has fixed it.

I was wrong, this apparently is *not* actually working in Safari.
However, I'm definitely not hallucinating things, because I took a screenshot yesterday to prove it.

Actually after upgrading, this is now working (Safari 18.5), so Tech Preview not needed.
(I'm still not game enough to upgrade my phone).
comment in response to

Also I’m aware that this won’t work on Safari (mobile or desktop) - for some reason it’s no longer possible to share a SharedArrayBuffer with a web worker. I’ll try the Safari tech preview and see if this is something that’s been recently fixed.

Did you try Veo (which afaik should still be free via AI Studio)? It's still hit and miss, but I think it's at least more consistent than Sora.

I’m still mad that I capitulated to my wife and bought a Samsung TV. It’s genuinely awful.

One thing Twitter definitely did better was “Suggested Follows”, that was probably the most consistently accurate recommendation algorithm I’ve come across.

I don’t know if they are cranks, but starting off with that gives strong crank vibes.

Cross compilation 🚩
There is new support to compile to native Linux binaries from Windows, macOS, and Linux development machines. You can do this with the "dart compile exe" or "dart compile aot-snapshot" command and the "--target-os" and "--target-arch" flags.

Congratulations!

..(in addition to the overhead of an additional instance) which seems unnecessary.
Better would be adding a "highlight" component to every highlighted object, then render the component again with the highlight material.
comment in response to
post
...then apply an unlit material and use the stencil test to ensure it only renders outside the original.
Couple of reasons:
1) as you can see in the video, the highlight renders before fog is applied.
2) you need to reserve all buffers (vertex/index/etc) for every object that you want to highlight

I claim zero knowledge of kubernetes but one of my colleagues loves it because it lets him create fault-tolerant clusters on dirt-cheap (4 euro pe month) VPS instances.

I'd also need to build a WASM version of the Cesium Native Dart package, but that should be relatively straightforward.
