@Gsimone i remember starting on blender tutorials in 2002. it had that "in-house app" feel + hollywood magic approach.
everything was a cheat. the algos themselves were shortcuts.
i would use art of illusion (java) for that chill GUI, with monte carlo GI out of the box. funny times
@emollick configured a commercial doc-talk solution for a big project.
vendor: yes RAG, we have that, etc
then ofc it took us months of prompt engineering and was such a slog to set up.
vendor could have sold a $$$ config service but no. just selling donuts here or sth. 😁
@joseph_h_garvin yeah i was using an LLM to help with LLM research...
ended up building a separate prompt-constructor app (in 2026) bc otherwise you'd just get too many slop / waste of time responses.
reminds me of the early search engine wars, when knowing "advanced search" was everything
@PanasonicDX4500 younger mos are really different too
once the mormon diversity & dirty soda influencers hit bedrock / cultural paydirt, they built a more socially liberal platform on that you-do-you approval from world + silent ok from Q12.
this really helped crank the door to the liberal vote
@rhcm123 there's a pinch in the performance - he isn't sure how to navigate that tight (for accuracy) part of the sentence, so he twists his body through it
@Works39@cqcqcqdx the english translation "we" makes it sound like you also work for the store yourself, but nobody in management will listen to you. but reading the japanese, there's no "i" or "they" or "we" in there directly of course.
@kotetsutoysjp yeah, tokusatsu is almost a completely different personality type, a different set of perspectives.
it takes the ensemble view even wider than westerners are used to, for one. and its thinking style is much broader, less of a conceptual railroad.
this makes room for more fun.
@NothingStoopid@jason_paladino it gives them the specific post id, rather than having to guess which part of the screen was interesting
they can also instantly add branding like in tiktok vids
@UnwantedBlog fascinating. i wonder what a modern version could do with changes in tech? would it still require dire human sacrifice to radiation or not so much
‼️ A satellite in space ran Doom after a voice command from a radio amateur on a rooftop in Oslo.
He said "PRETTY play Doom Doom Doom" into a microphone. The European Space Agency cubesat, OPS-SAT PRETTY, pulled his voice out of the radio noise and transcribed it with a 27MB speech AI on board.
Then it launched Doom and sent back a "postcard" with a frame of the game.
Tanagra Space, the Estonian startup behind the software, says it is the first time a satellite has been commanded by voice.
It worked on the seventh attempt. The Oslo club spent 59 days and about $775 on it, pizza included.
