I feel heard. Auto-correct un-correcting what I corrected three times in a row is maddening.

What if their maximally vindictive traits just makes them want to use the same invasive tools and techniques?

No way. Next level.

Awesome stuff. Moonlight and Archipelago are particularly beautiful. I work in shaders fairly regularly (mainly Metal-based), and it still amazes me how so little code can produce seemingly infinite universes.

Looks super interesting! Does it have support for auction mechanics (e.g. dutch auction)?

Go Hugo!

So they force-unwrapped a `null` and blew up the internet? Would an `unwrap_or_else` have helped here?

Google: "I'll see your Marble and raise you a SIMA2". This industry moves redonkulously fast.

Is Marble's definition of a "world model" the same as Yann LeCun's definition of a world model? And is that the same as Genie's definition of a world model?

I like that they distinguish between the collider mesh (lower poly) and the detailed mesh (higher poly). As a game developer I'm looking for: • Export low-poly triangle mesh (ideally OBJ or FBX format — something fairly generic, nothin

From what I can tell, you can actually export a mesh in (paid) Marble, whereas I haven't seen mesh exports offered in Genie 3 yet (could be wrong though).

This sounds interesting and practical. Where can we follow your project?

What kind of apps are you developing for Vision Pro? Any immersive space stuff?

"Microsoft Silicon", coming up. Is it practical for them to buy an existing chip maker? Or would they just go home-grown? - As of today, Nvidia's market cap is a whopping 4.51 trillion USD compared to Microsoft's 3.85 tr

The country selection menu seems to include countries from around the world. It sounds like only the first and last weeks are actually on-site, the rest in async/remote.

Yeah, clicking "Submit" doesn't do anything obvious, aside from post some arcane errors to the JavaScript Console.

One of my favorites.

Yeah, that helps put this in perspective. At first the headline sounded like a somewhat jarring and sudden staff cut, but if we're essentially just seeing Google migrate TLMs to TLs, that actually makes sense.

I think the issue is ChatGPT. I find it to be the worst for writing shippable code beyond a single function. It plays too many mind games. If I’m trying to get any non-trivial amount of code done, it’s Gemini Pro 2.5 all the way.

This article was a bit confusing for me. It starts off by describing what "doing it wrong" looks like (okay). It then goes on to talk about Agents. Perhaps it's just that my human brain needs a firmware update, but I was expe

My gut says similar. They've been on a roll. Genie 3 looks pretty wild.

Word on the street is that non-existent code doesn't crash.

Bodes well this does not.
