In the age of AI slop, some of us are still making things by hand, I promise ❤️ Octocat for the new GitHub Copilot App was modeled, rigged, and animated in Blender...
Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
In times of tragedy, don't mistake inaction for apathy. It's often the result of empathy.
Empathic distress is feeling helpless in the face of suffering. It drains us until we're numb.

Meta just released MusicGen, a simple and controllable model for music generation
MusicGen is a single stage auto-regressive Transformer model trained over a 32kHz EnCodec tokenizer with 4 codebooks sampled at 50 Hz. Unlike existing methods like MusicLM, MusicGen doesn't not require a self-supervised semantic representation, and it generates all 4 codebooks in one pass. By introducing a small delay between the codebooks, can predict them in parallel, thus having only 50 auto-regressive steps per second of audio

In 2020 Figma started hitting growing pains with their single managed Postgres database.
