This _looks_ incredible fake. I’m not saying that it is fake but it _looks_ like out its out of a b-movie remake. I guess this is the SpaceX/Elon style.

Yes, they are. And the product names are an artefact of the marketing effort. By ‘crazy’ I mean ‘crazy good / near over the top’ effort marketing.

Agree they both look good products. But put the websites side by side and ask what page has had more marketing effort put into it and I’ll think you’ll see the commenter point.

In fairness to the commenter, I don’t know either of the projects but htmx’s _page_ is way less marketing focused that hotwire’s page. The hotwire page’s marketing is crazy: ‘turbo’, ‘stimulus’, ‘strada’… Crazy but yet commendable.

And why did Android do such a better job of this.

A docker image for running on a server/homelab would be super.

The video has a slowness about it (pushing myself to be critical here because it’s all amazing). It would be interesting to pair the VR experience with some fast moving virtual content. Like flocks of birds shooting past. Or projectiles.

Would GDPR mitigate the need to pay?

I failed my school computing class assignment in BASIC because instead of making the word game I spent all my time labouring away chasing the visual appeal of getting BASIC to draw a fancy intro screen.

I ended up working in computer graphics :-)

I agree with your sentiment re: scratch though. With scratch I struggle to pull kids away from the drawing and asset selection tools. I’d like scratch without this.

8k for a prompt perhaps

When looking at the profitable use cases for the tech (from the perspective of the model providers) guardrails add value. Without the guardrails it’s hard to imagine the profitable use cases that would make it worthwhile to invest in such a feature flag.

I only skimmed the landing page but it seems like it helps more with the while pipeline (asset creation, packing and optimising) rather than just the end rendered.

I haven’t yet seen a phone Augmented Reality app described as Mixed Reality. I have seen HoloLens, Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro described as Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality.

It can also mean just plain olde 2D 3D (according to companies selling metaverse services)

Typically “mixed reality” is used to mean mixing your vision with virtual content. Whereas, “augmented reality” has typically meant displaying a live video feed on a single screen.

They are two quite different experiences and use cases. Once both are common it would make sense to call both augmented reality but I haven’t heard any better terms for describing the difference to people yet.

I don’t really get the “I’ve been trying to use the web for something it isn’t meant to do (graphics programming)” sentiment or the question.

What you have produced is wonderful, but has nothing to do with the web. That’s like comparing apples and oranges.

The web was built for images. All the glsl you have is rendering to that image. Cpp or whatever, your problem domain is pixel shader. A program, run on a gpu, for a single pixel and ray marching through a dataset on also on a gpu. It’s a hardware problem why debugging is so hard. Unfortunately, this is the reality of graphics programming in general.

Vite, React, Typescript, etc etc are all faff exterior to what you are doing.

If you want debugging tools and a good graphics programming experience, and a simple view with some interactivity something like Unitt, Godot, TouchDesigner or if you want lower level, OpenFrameworks, Processing, etc. would be leaner.

Mac’s _almost_ have a giant flash drives mode with target disk mode but via USB-C.

Or he worked tirelessly on this for 9 months, and had no free time for anything else. But many things came of it for him, and it had an impact (it’s still being quoted now.)

An interest free loans from the Scottish government to buy them (repayable over 12 years)

On 7, with personal insurance (say for phones, devices, car hire, etc) and my experiences of insurance companies trying anything to avoid pay out I have always been skeptical if business insurance would ever actually pay out.

For recording a programming session or a timelapse? From experience, Qucktime on macOS isn’t practical due to file size.

I have a heightened appreciation for non-AI imagery (especially when browsing links from Hacker News). This link is to be savoured.

What counts as a component in this context? Obviously it couldn’t fly without a wing. (I would like to use this stat to comfort someone who doesn’t like flying)

I know what LiDAR is (wrt ‘Apps can do 3D scans’) but I would like to see references for the parents claim. Or to its use in videos, portrait mode and background removal. There is a lot of misconceptions about it.

Do you have a reference for the LiDAR sensor being used Apple’s spatial/stereo video?

It has a slow startup time, limited range, and low resolution.

Possibly it could be used for depth calibration but I doubted it would be used for depth information.

The direct shameless and unapologetic ripping off of someone’s voice without approval to promote your own company and/or project, to me, is distasteful.

This is super insightful. It’s a shame your investment isn’t paying off. Cardiff is probably representative of much of UK. But without some prior connection to it, I don’t think it represents the best of the west that the UK has to offer.

Second time I see Haxe mention. I have had a ‘google’ (with Brave search) but I am still wondering why. Is it just the multitude of platform or is it something like: ergonomics, flexibility, productivity, tooling, ecosystem, production readiness, etc etc

What if your business is education and you use it in your educational output? (Serious question)

You put the people leaving or who have left down as the low performers over the quarter. You have your quota of low performers. No pip show required.
