Around 2019 it became clear to me how much I was underestimating how quickly AI would "take over" and "take credit" for the parts of my identity I wanted to keep (engineering, design taste, invention for example). But it

Not to detract from his status as a legend, but I think the kind of person that singlehandedly makes one of these projects is exactly the kind of person that would make the others. I forgot about FFmpeg (thanks for the reminder), but my fir

As interesting as such a world is to the author, the post fails to appreciate that the beneficiaries of such a world won't be us, but AI companies that hoover this data, pollute it with "alignment", and sell it back to us. As

It might actually happen. Either way there would be a gradual transition from C++ to Rust.

As off the wall as this kind of thinking is, I actually agree this is probably what Microsoft has to embrace, and this isn't even going far enough. Anyone who has experience with LLMs knows that strong typing, static validation, and te

We should probably strip the Indie Game Awards of their awards show because the accountant used ChatGPT. If they want to ban AI from their show that is their perogative, but considering that every nominee probably used AI somewhere (I'

One long-standing code is that they moderate YC companies less on HN, allowing criticisms like yours to stand: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34320816 To HN's credit I haven't seen this rule violated. For ex

If someone is socializing in VRChat it would follow they are able to be social. So a bit of a non sequitur. Would it be more accurate to say you have a categorical disdain for the way they are socializing? Why do you think that is (other th

The best I've seen so far is Marble from World Labs, though that gives you a full 360 environment and takes several minutes to do so.

It makes your picture 3D. The "photorealistic" part is "it's better than these other ways".

Right. I just want to emphasize that this is not a NERF where the model magically produces an image from an angle and then you ask "ok but how did you get this?" and it throws up its hands and says "I dunno, I ran some math

There's nothing "hidden" about the 3d represenation. It's a point cloud (in meters) with colors, and a guess at the the "camera" that produced it. (I am oversimplifying).

Is there a link with some sample gaussian splat files coming from this model? I couldn't find it. Without that that it's hard to tell how cherry-picked the NVS video samples are. EDIT: I did it myself, if anyone wants to check out

[Notwithstanding Poe's Law] I chuckled at the satire, but you could just as easily use AI to make the code suck more to pass the filters. I don't know the solution to this; you have a similar problem in education where students ge

Does anyone have any prior art for an MCP server "message bus" with an agent framework like Mastra? E.g. suppose I want my agent to operate as Discord bot listening on channel via an MCP server subscribed to the messages. i.e. the

I ran this for most of today in the background and I have some thoughts: The quality is good and it's giving you all of the maps (as well as the .blends!). It seems great for its stated goal of generating ground truth for training. How

For a couple of years I've been compiling an (admittedly worse) fuzzy-parsed version of this with GPT-3 (and friends) to generate and play out executable Javascript lore in an RPG engine. So, I am very surprised I'm only hearing a

DALL-E can't help in art direction but (somewhat surprisingly) GPT-3 plus a human scanning Pinterest can be an art director. I've spent hundreds of OpenAI dollars on this because it works. To me, that means a version DALL-E which

As an lone indie dev making an AI-generated FOSS Final Fantasy, I can confirm it's possible :D. That era of games really fits well with the kind of content that AI is capable of generating today. I've been primarily tackling the s
