Controlnet/img2img style where you can mimic a sound with your mouth and it then makes it realistic could also be usable.

Wow, at first I thought that was just the first page, but it really is the entire paper.

Yes, as long as I remember not to overspend when things are going well, to cover for future failures.

I just build projects that interest me (websites, apps, games). So far released 62 things, of which 10 made >$10k. It's interesting because you get to do a variety of things, and I don't really mind the unpredictability. Might even like it in a slot machine variable reward sort of way.

Just now I spent 3 months making a game that turned out to be worth $0, but that's part of the process. As long as the project itself is interesting and you learn something from it, it doesn't feel like totally wasted time.

Yes, once we're commanding autonomous little bots in space, capable of also autonomously creating their own factories, we can build anything on a whim as long as we can design it and have the energy and materials.

(I may have played too much Factorio)

This works. I recently used this approach to find baby names on Reddit. I would show GPT a list of articles and ask "list the article IDs among these which appear to be about baby names". Then further show each of those articles and ask "what baby names were mentioned in this post and its replies?".

I live in Japan so deal with some of this. The attitude I've adopted is that the government officials are giving me free Japanese speech practice.

Those screens don't show 3D movies though.

Without the lock button you could hit the "close door" button and leave the toilet while it is closing, and then no-one would be able to enter to unlock it. But I agree something familiarly mechanical with the mechanism clearly visible would be better than any fancy solution.

I briefly hung out with a manga illustrator while studying in Japan, and what astonished me was how incredibly fast he was at drawing. We went out for hamburgers, and while I was sitting there munching on my burger he made the initial sketch for an entire page.

Thank you, the country posters are quite nice.

It's also amazing how silent they are vs. any actuators we have.

I can instantly recall the strange beeper sound effects of some of the powerful weapons that would blast multicolored noise everywhere.

Happy to see my own game “Oikeutta Eläimille” in this list.

I made it in turbo pascal in about 1 week, uploaded it to a BBS and it started to spread. Then pretty soon I saw it mentioned on TV and that totally blew my 16 year old mind.

I can make something and the world will react to what I make? Cool!

Elaborate "switch to my minds eye"? How do you do that?

I don't think I have such a mode. Sometimes when I'm bicycling for ~20 minutes with nothing happening, I'll involuntarily switch to some enhanced-imagination mode for a moment, but I can't do that on demand.

I can trace a cartoony outline of an elephant’s head, but it’s not in the same buffer/canvas on which my vision appears. It’s a separate scratch pad for imagination and distinct from vision.

This separate canvas is extremely limited compared to my actual vision. I can only focus on very small parts of it at a time, it’s about as accurate as drawing in the sand with a finger.

On Quest 3 it’s interesting that it has good passthrough, but no way to record 3D passthrough videos and share them.

Meta could basically do an early version of Strange Days right now, but they have chosen not to.

https://mixedname.com started as a command-line script to name our child, then added more languages and put up a web interface (actually nothing is dynamic all pages are precomputed)

Imagine having a product so in demand that the leader of a nation pleads you to supply it.

I see for "crazy cars" the sprite sheet has the same car scaled to different levels. When I was doing some scale and rotation experiments, it never occurred to me to just put precalculated ones inside the image itself like that.

In that case I search my browsing history or re-navigate to that thing with a search engine.

I've been working (for about ~2 months) on a Roblox game where dialogue is AI-generated and the stories are randomized: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdkjyUbXFww

To prevent inappropriate things from happening, the players cannot try to jailbreak the AI because player inputs never enter prompts, instead all stories are linear and pre-generated.

Yes, it’s shut down.

Reading this story made me happy about no longer having to deal with physical goods.

Nice, but I wonder if there are screwdrivers which could also automatically spawn screws (like a mechanical pencil) so you wouldn't even have to move back and forth from the feeder?

If it also delays every subsequent action, it will seem more significant if US lost putting people on Mars first by say a week.

VRChat is also still like this, people just creating stuff for no monetary gain, and you’ll see things created for shock value occasionally as well.

I just lost an hour to this site, it's a lot of fun.

Could have potential to generate a one-in-a-million hit that becomes a tiktok sensation just from the pure volume of these mediocre songs where one just happens to be a diamond.

When we manage to get people on Mars, I wonder what current items will sell for huge sums as historical documents in the future?
