AI is now adding cartoon characters to classic games.

I would play Mario 64 all over again as Peter Griffin.

Coming soon... still a work in progress!

Fable isn't the first.

In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold.

Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.

Someone on Reddit built a game where you ride a dirt bike on top of any company's stock chart.

The nice thing about AI is that when it fact checks its own stakeholders, stakeholders should hold up the AI's response, or else they look bad. Especially when results are reproducible as this, across the AI/LLM board. We might finally have truth on these social media platforms. Lies that get caught up before they become viral garbage. Remember in 2016 when Pope Francis endorsed Donald Trump. That never happened, but that went viral then. Warning flags start coming up now

🌍 What if the entire Earth could be streamed as a photorealistic 3D world?

This prototype renders billions of 3D Gaussian splats directly in the browser.

The technology is ready. The remaining challenge is capturing the planet.

We got married on a Saturday in Canada. On Monday, we were emigrating to the United States. My new wife and I said goodbye to the movers, flew to the border, and I got pulled into the big glass room for "extra questioning".

From her vantage point, she could see the immigration officer yelling, turning red, and waving his arms. She thought we were being denied entry... my Microsoft dreams crashing down right there.

What she couldn’t hear was that he had already approved my work visa. He was furious because their copy of Microsoft Word was printing a blank page at the end of every document, and it was wasting paper, and he wanted it fixed.

I helped adjust the margins. And so, after fixing the borders at the border, they released us to our new life in America.

Starlink V3 satellites have >10X bandwidth of V2 and there’ll be >10X launched, which means >100X more bandwidth.

Also, altitude will be 350km vs 550km, so min latency can be cut in half.

Light travels 300km/ms in space, so physics round trip min latency drops to <5ms.

We need to bring this back. Who else wants to go to a local CRT Tent Revival?

This is Asimov 1, an open-source humanoid.

You can build it at home like building an IKEA product. It's closer to building a car than building a wardrobe.

Shipping as a DIY kit by the end of this summer.

I recently inherited my grandfather's old manual drill press so on the weekend I hooked it up to play Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move. I'll share a gameplay video that contains another twist soon.😉

there's no catch; SAM3 is open source and really good

one of the things it does really well is object tracking, even in crazy complex scenes like basketball

probably my favorite computer vision model ever
