   You might enjoy some the epic multi-part storylines being told by some passionate young filmmakers on TikTok. I especially recommend the 12-part "Fate and Chance" series by @AmericanBaron. There is long form art on TikTok, it&#

   I have talked to him about it, actually! He gave me some great course recommendations that I plan on looking into. Ask HN was mostly motivated by wanting to get multiple data points/opinions.

   I just built my first PC about a month ago and am still in that phase. Went from a 2013 laptop with integrated GPU to having a much nicer discrete GPU and the difference still blows me away on the daily :)

   Mykel Kochenderfer is my uncle! He does some really cool research up at Stanford. Lots of autonomous quadcopter drones doing automatic maneuvers and learning how to not crash into each other. It’s cool to get to see his work on HN!

   This is good news IMO, as it will promote discovery of creators from outside the platform they create on. As a content creator, I hope this feature ends up well implemented. I could totally see it going downhill though when the SEO-obsessiv

   As long as there's an option to disable it, (which to be honest, there probably won't be) I see no issue with this. Personally, I quite enjoy having "multimedia trash" in my search results. I learn best from multimedia l

    As a professional Blenderer, I'm most excited about Mesh to Volume. Making realistic clouds has never been easier! absolutely love the software and can't imagine where i'd be without it.

    I think the really cool thing is that this would theoretically rank the M1 as #1 on the Geekbench Single Core leaderboard, above both AMD and Intel's latest offerings!

    We could make an artificial magnetic field for it. Beyond current technology but seems like a viable option a hundred years from now. I agree low gravity would be a problem, but life finds a way, right? Current generations of humans wouldn’

    Yeah, as someone who works in 3D graphics, I was really hoping against hope that RDNA 2 would include better RT support, but alas, guess I'll keep waiting to try and get an elusive 3080.

    It’s really a wonderfully well designed game. Very well balanced, and cleverly piggybacks on human psychology to make gameplay surprisingly engaging and complex when you’re with the right group. It has the feeling of a really good board gam

    At the risk of sounding dismissive... Who cares? Whether free will is an illusion or not has no practical application to my life, my behavior, or the lives and behaviors of other people. If an illusion is so strikingly believable that you t

    For me it’s not even about wasting money, it’s just that the new phones don’t... offer anything I need, really. I have an SE 1 and I’m firmly of the opinion that I could wait another five or six years before upgrading. It just... works, and

    Or even established companies talking about their "efforts" to go green, be more eco-friendly, reduce animal cruelty, etc, when the only effort they're really making is marketing themselves as such.

    Great observations IMO. The points about telling the most compelling story and telling people what they want to hear resonate especially well with the current international stage.

    Very exciting. As an outsider looking into the world of academic science, though, I am genuinely curious as to what about this paper took 13 years? The article mentions research by the team began in 2005, and only finished in 2018. Was it j

    I sure hope not. This launch is SUPER exciting--I really want to get my hands on a 3070 once I can afford it. They better be in stock by then!

    In terms of just nomenclature, I think I like the consistency of having all of the current lineup actually be called GeForce 30XX.
