@dangreenheck Depends what I'm learning of course but often videos are better than simple text instructions. From AI you don't really get experience, you get answers. Humans deliver their experiences and that is more valuable in my experience. But of course sometimes you do just need an answer

@VehiclePhysics I did a 4x4 day driving course. Of course there is one major problem with diff lock. You can't turn as easily. So with diff lock on, it's always favourable to pick as straight a route as possible.

@exQUIZitely Tomb Raider just blew me away. We can laugh at the boxy jagged 3d graphics today but I got totally absorbed in that game. The soundscape was incredibly atmospheric and it was the first time I felt vertigo playing a game which made it even more engaging.

@dangreenheck The business world will embrace slop if it makes money. Its as simple as that and people can call it slop all they want, it's not going to stop it.

@arno_coomans Thanks for sharing. I read the paper, then uploaded it to claude to help me understand. I suck at Maths and didn't know how neural networks worked but now I do thanks to this. Excited to see this implemented.

@SoftEngineer Yeah it's 100% crucial and actually I quite enjoy building debugging tools. Not sure if that is common or not haha.

@GrahamSmyth That comment can seriously backfire mate

[Ian Hamblin @gateian]

@John_Dabell I would love this

[Ian Hamblin @gateian]

@milan_milanovic Vibe coding is great for doing demos and POCs as well. Stuff you know you are probably going to chuck out.

@russellcrowe @RealJeffLeyton I fell off my bike when I was younger and cracked my foot on the kerb. Hurt like hell. Got on my bike and cycled 2 miles home. Swollen for days. Years later I had a foot xray for a different incident. Doctor said, "Did you know you have a chunk of bone floating in your foot"? 😅

@John_Dabell Battle weary because you are a warrior. You have my utmost respect

@AlexBrundle What I also don't get Alex, is we have AI now that could easily detect and stop these abusive messages. X has taken the decision NOT to use it.

@tiff_tv Think it's totally natural for Lando to ease off a but now and come 3rd or forth. Drive sensibly, stay out of trouble and bring the title home.

@henningsanden Excellent. That's the one area of blender I really didn't like. I look forward to checking this out.

[Ian Hamblin @gateian]

@JiovanieV @henningsanden Haha. I also loved the time max crashed while saving and corrupted my file. A whole day's work lost. That's when I learned incremental saving. Blimey that was like 20 years ago.

@HillF1 It's just unbelievable there weren't more pitlane accidents back then. No speed limits. Hundreds of people just standing about. Everyone in shorts and t shirts. Crazy. #f1

[Ian Hamblin @gateian]

@Mikeggibbs Sounds like you are handling it completely normally. I lost my Dad last year so I know what I'm talking about. Let it all out. Don't stop yourself or try to control it. You'll soon get to that place where you realise your dad is still with you, as much as you'll always miss him.

@BobLoukas I'm glad I sold in August now.

@FR3NKD Is ucupaint auto unwrapping here as well?
