Fantastic idea! This would be great if we could make it part of the "Who's hiring" posts on HN. It's not hard to research a company to find out, but it would be convenient as an initial filter.

This looks great - I like how the "simple shader" version gives a sense for how it works under the hood. Is the implementation of it related to real-world mechanisms, or is it all smoke-and-mirrors that happens to look like real-w

The "slow editor/loading times" and "giant bundles" is just technical, so should be "easy" to fix! The hard bit I think is the "spaghetti no-code" problem that I've seen in nearly all visual

About 6 months to switch - probably twice as long as it should have, because it was happening in parallel with maintaining and improving the no-code version, and the product requirements were evolving. Switching off the no-code version was

I worked on a Bubble app that definitely hit the limits of how big apps should be. The work flow box things still give me nightmares. It's very hard to figure out the order things were executing, and we had to resort to A LOT of JavaSc

It works best for prototyping and rapidly testing ideas. I joined a startup that didn't have any deep coding skills - but had a great idea and vision for a product. They had made a pretty decent prototype with Bubble and could quickly

People are very good at justifying what they are doing if their livelihood is at stake. I know many programmers - nice people - working as the digital equivalent of seal-clubbers... but there's good money to be made clubbing seals, and

I've struggled with implementing my own version of this algorithm - so I know I don't understand it properly. I get lost because of the "quantum mechanics" aspect - I am kind of suspecting it's just an analogy for t

I think originally it was primarily about developer ergonomics - here's the first thing I ever read about them in 2007 where they tested it on Tony Hawk Pro Skater ( http://cowboyprogramming.com/2007/01/05&#x2F

"Entity Component Systems" are common in game engine architecture, and there are a lot of variations on them - but they are a high-level architecture for making modular behavior in games. Generally they were thought of as "be

This is really cool, and I love the idea of embedding assets around the web. When I first saw PlayCanvas years ago I kind of dismissed it. But it just keeps going, and becomes more and more feature-filled. Now it really seems like a solid p

I've loved messing around with Markov Chains in the past, but the output of this seems more interesting... does anyone have any recommended resources for getting started with Natural Language Generation?

Reply to self! In this thread the user `mkaic` linked to their own work/study at: https://nomoregreenscreen.com/ ... perfect "getting started" material.

Is this any better than the current After Effects auto-roto feature? (Real question... is it?!) I thought they were already using ML models to do rotoscoping.

Yeah, "impossible" phsssh... it's clearly a 180 heel-flip or something like that. THIS is an impossible - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtaJSQO0T8k

Does anyone have any resources on how you might make this yourself from scratch using machine learning? Obviously not this polished, but just a really rough-and-dodgy version to learn how it works.

Yeah, calling it a "game" is underselling it. My nephew and niece were really into Roblox, so I thought I'd be the "cool uncle" and have a go at making something for them in Roblox Studio. I dragged out my macbook (

I dream that one day whoever did that incredible transformation to Blender would do the same to Inkscape and Gimp UIs. In one or two versions it went from the past to the future!
