My gut says a lot of vulnerabilities disclosed like this had probably already been found by those people that won’t disclose them publicly. Programs that expose these vulnerabilities, funded by countries that can afford it, are probably the

Houdini is all quaternions under the hood— purportedly to avoid gimbal lock. Houdini’s thing generally is doing things the hard way if there’s any possibility it could lead to a better outcome. Unfortunately, without a (fortunately open s

Stock assets: the first “AI”. Honestly still a better option than AI for most anything in game dev with a few workflow-oriented exceptions.

Nice work. Here’s some crit from someone with a game design degree if you’re interested in refining the visual design. If you’re happy with it as is as a your own little project, feel free to summarily disregard this comment! Through the co

Do you think you might be being a touch reductive there? Perhaps ignoring factors like context, medium, the economic realities of who makes this “data” and who ends up making money off of it at their expense, the difference between mechanic

I think the only really happy path with XML is starting with an extremely rigid spec for extremely consistent data where you have official dtd releases if something changes, etc. I think if you’re trying to figure something structural out

That very much depends on the job. The job I had to process all that handwritten XML in was a library job.

I’ve been mostly in Python, C# and C++ for the past decade or so but got into Elixir as my first functional language. Never got comfy with the syntax but dig how everything flows. Looking forward to digging into Gleam.

Sounds like that contemptible SJW needs to stop being so judgmental. And it’s definitely rude to imply motives that someone doesn’t directly state, isn’t it?

I hadn’t heard of gleam. Looks cool! I like working with elixir in a lot of ways but never was a Ruby guy, and I think I’d prefer the C-style syntax.

It wouldn’t be cheap but I could see 3D modeling and physically based rendering (I’ve been working with Octane but others should do the job fine) being a really good use case for this. Having a bazillion years in 2D but getting into 3D at a

No, that is not “my problem” with it. It is one facet of it, there are lots of sucky ways to take ideas that have nothing to do with scale, and there are lots of ways that fundamentally mechanically harvesting “ideas” as data is different t

Straw man. I can’t imagine how culture could exist without some people being thrown in prison. That doesn’t mean that criticizing a law or law enforcement practice is equivalent to arguing for abolishing prisons.

What claim would that be? It’s a hilarious, factual example of unintended consequences in model training. Of course they fixed the freaking bug in about two seconds.

I don’t think there has to be some practical economic business justification to a) feel bummed out by your creative output getting munged up into something that, for all its better uses, will feed the great fire hoses spraying trillions of

For anyone put off by the dubiousness of the left/right brain thing, rest assured that Drawing On the Right Side of The Brain is no less useful as an introduction to abstract visual creativity because of it.

My favorite was the ML learning how to optimally make the lowest-impact landing in a flight simulator— it discovered that it could wrap the impact float value if the impact was high enough so instead of figuring out the optimal landing, it

Right, because JSON makes a great ad-hoc data format. XML is a heavy duty format with very strict heavy duty tooling which can do things that JSON isn’t a great fit for (heavily nested, structurally complex, large, exactingly created, extre
