What’s the consensus on the future of this type of 3D tool? Especially for video animation/CGI in movies/tv/ads?

Seems like in 10 years AI will basically make it pointless to use a tool like this at least for people working on average projects.

What do folks in the industry think? What’s the long term outlook?

The more I’ve learned over the years about health has now lead me down the path to practice periods of fasting.

Anyone trying to eat a perfect Whole Foods diet may also still consume the occasional garbage food. I feel like fasting is a missing tool in the toolbox we don’t hear about enough.

Doing periods of 2 to 5 day fasts just seems to kind of reset things. Give organs a break that would otherwise never have a break. Many benefits to speak of..

But excited to see what the science shows in the coming decades.

There just seems to be something inherently natural feeling about feast and fast. Human ancestors were probably not eating 3 good size meals every single day forever without EVER giving there systems a break. The body seems to benefit from having a break from the constant toxin ingestion.

BioInitiative report. Anyone familiar?

My experience: I was in the middle of typing a message when I was immediately locked out with a modal. I was really concerned at first that there might be a phishing attempt happening or something like that. Not the typical UX I would expect for an application recommending or even requiring 2FA.

Users report being kicked out of huddles and issues with signing in with 2FA.

I don’t know that I fully regret starting a business but boy does it suck like 90% of the time.

I’m fortunate in that the business does really well, but…. I just can’t stand it anymore. The stress, the boring, the frustrating, the getting taken advantage of, the weekend hours….

I suppose I fell a little bit into the trap of someone wanting to open a cafe because they like being at a cafe… well I like programming, I like solving problems… but running a business (and a successful one at that) is tough.

I can see why most CEOs are non-technical, because it’s a special type of sadistic person who would ask for this.

I’ve tried steering the ship towards some goal or task that would maybe make things better but there’s no point. The business is on autopilot.

The business is like it’s own person with its own wants, needs, desires… and they come first. They always come first. Bending over backwards to keep something running, get some bug fixed, satisfying some customer, putting out fires… takes higher priority than friends, family, personal time, etc…

It has to. I can’t let the business suffer. People depend on its success, most of all my family.

I can understand why the rich suffer so.

This looks awesome. I'm curious to see what additional modules they make for it.

I noticed this as well. Now if i have to rearrange i try to remember to open spotlight (CMD+Space) and type "arrange".. will take you straight to the option.

I would start with ChatGPT. “Explain the git file versioning software for 5 year olds” and start from there.

Huh, actually it would be interesting if online matchmaking in games took into account more of what you’re looking for in a friend. Like if it prioritized matching you with people in similar age brackets and maybe could take into account other interests… so it’d be like the people you’re playing with would make someday likely friends. They could show your match score so you would immediately know if another player had similar interests… I kinda wish that existed!!

Autopilot Unstucker: Your job will be to travel around to various roads in your city where an AI driven vehicle has gotten stuck and move it.

Robot Janitor: as more and more robots take over menial jobs someone’s gotta clean and maintain them.

Virtual Friend: become a friend to a random person online. Chat with them, play games, etc. will be more and more common as the loneliness epidemic grows exponentially over the next few decades.

Prompt Expert: a person who comes up with better and more creative prompts for AI generated content. Including AI generated images, music, and likely movies and shows, architecture and design in the future.

Oh good, all of our MySQL timestamps are INT(10) unsigned.... Good until 2106, and at least i'll be dead by that time.

Man, I wish Apple made some cool phones. I love all the different phone designs that are coming out but I can’t stand Android.

I like Thumbtack. I’ve worked with about a dozen professionals on there and have had a great experience. Fence installer included.

I'm not sure if this totally out of left-field, but have you tried dietary change like a ketogenic or other type of restrictive diet? I know that for some people some foods can trigger horrible mood changes like bipolar, anger, feelings of fear, depression, etc.. Especially if you're sensitive to some foods like gluten, dairy, certain meats & veggies, etc. Also if you ingest any other drugs/chemicals it would be worth considering their effects too (nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, weed, etc).

I think if there is no other option SSRIs can help but I've also seen them have bad side effects (especially when taken long-term). Of course you gotta pick the lesser of the evils.. curious if you've looked into this at all:

Does anything think Wolfram Theory is going to end up being the right approach to go deeper down the rabbit hole? Personally I think the theory is really interesting and intuitively feels like the universe at some core level may work as the theory suggests. But I’m not sure if many people are considering the theory to have serious promise in the long term.

Ah, yes... I remember the first time I ran my submarine into Emerald Weapon without knowing what the creature was. Needless to say, I was ill-prepared for such a battle.

And who can forget Ruby Weapon? Which some would say is an even harder battle than Emerald Weapon... until you discover the optimal attack for the battle.... Hades.

*sigh.... So good.

I imagine top athletes are very concerned about what they are putting into their body.

Does he have any valid concerns? Have other athletes had any negative side effects from the vaccine?

The fact that an unverified and completely fabricated political smear campaign ravaged a US presidency for 4 years is so unbelievably corrupt and disturbing. I hope everyone who knew the truth about the phony story received adequate justice.

God I love the conversations on HN.

Gosh, disturbing comment section for disturbing times. When experimental medical treatments become mandatory for illnesses that have a 99%+ survival rate, and there is absolutely NO LONG TERM safety data, some red flags should be raised.

Unfortunately the science is evolving so fast and the variants are coming so fast, it's impossible to keep up!

I love these “insider dev stories” people do, especially on the older games I played when I was younger. Anyone have links to anymore good ones? It’s so cool to learn a bit about what went into making the games and who the people were.

I've been building Shopify apps for around 5 years now, and have 4 apps with around 15k users. I feel the pain this author feels with some additional notes..

Our apps are built in PHP using the polaris.css for styling components. We have some embedded apps currently (before Shopify began requiring the session token). Personally, the embedded experience is only good for simpler apps. If your app is more complex with lots of options and settings and things to show, the embedded experience is SO SMALL. Literally 40% of the screen is taken up by the Shopify admin leaving only a small portion for your app. Makes interface design more difficult when so much of the top/left part of the screen is taken up by Shopify admin.

Their API and webhooks are "fairly" reliable. We're consuming around 10k to 20k webhooks per hour and performing 20k to 50k API calls per hour. We rarely have issues. We are using their Amazon EventBridge integration to accept webhooks as a sort of buffer against them DDOSing our applications.

The largest issue with their API at scale is dealing with the API limits of 2 to 4 requests per second. Since some things require performing multiple API calls, and we deal with massive e-commerce stores that may need to perform 100,000 tasks, it can take a long time to perform the work (we have to artificially delay the API calls to not hit their limits). Also their GraphQL API has a complex limit system based on the "amount" of data returned, which makes fetching data even more complicated than their REST API.

My other big gripe with their API is that they have a GraphQL and REST API with different features. They support different filters, different fields they return, different types of objects... It's a real PITA to try and work seamlessly between two different APIs (e.g. data formatted differently). And neither API is 100% solid, depending on the features your app needs you will basically need to use both APIs.

Generally my experience has been pretty good with Shopify. Their API changes can be scary, but at least they use versioning so they don't break the current version you're using. They are constantly adding new features too.

Recently upgraded from a mid-size sedan to a Ram 1500, which feels huge compared to your average car. All I’m gonna say is that the auto stop sensors on the front and rear are amazing and so is the 360 cam. All vehicles should have these features. Rear ending and backing into someone should be things of the pastZ “We have the technology.”

I typed in a dozen queries and never got a result.. Is there a format to follow? What stage of the product is this? The fact I got asked to pay something insulted me since I couldn't find a query that worked.

Maybe, more example queries or "types" of queries would help.

All i can say is that i feel so fuggin bad for that devs on that game. It must be so shitty to have to build the game for PC and also support PS4, etc... Like web-devs supporting IE 9 or lower... it's like, a whole generation of technology backwards... and it's just... not fun.. it sucks...

Taking your beautiful game that you've spend 5+ years on building and hacking it to pieces to run on older hardware must be the most tedious and infuriating experience... I feel for them.. and (as a side note), on PC, I've generally enjoyed the game... it has its bugs, but as a software dev, i can forgive it, because I know how shitty management is, and management is always the problem.

The game has taught me one lesson though.. and something that is always on my mind, which is when is GTA6 coming out, and how the F does Rockstar product such solid games? I mean, really, it's absolutely incredible the games they produce... the quality, the scale, the perfection.... they should be talked about more here... such respect... Rockstar games have been "top of the scale", like Pixar movies and such...

Sorry, a bit drunk, but I love what you are trying to do, but I'm failing to resonate with the website. I'm a (fairly novice) investor. So perhaps in your target audience (average joe?).

Market Trends and Opportunities: SAD GRAY screenshot, like wtf, who came up with that gray color in the picture? And... "our team of researchers"... I don't know if you're one random guy or a hundred senior professional investor analysts... sell me on the solution!!!! Is the audience really "the average joe"???? The average joe doesn't care about these big words and fancy slogans, they care about profit/MONEY, that is why they are investing.

Research Made Simple. Our team of specialized analysts finds you the best opportunities based on the latest trends.

WTF is your second screenshot? Something to do with insurance? Is this for the "average joe"?

Save 1,000+ hours on analysis and research? I need a calculator to determine how many hours of research I'm doing per week in order to determine if this sales line is a pro or con... Alt:

Forget "Market Research", We do it For You! Our team does hundreds of hours of research analyzing the markets so you don't have to!

"Simple and brief financial news and trends" ???? WTF do you think i have the attention span of a 5th grader? Imagoddamn trader....

Financial News. Simplified. Yes, we really do simplify the boring and complex financial news to make you a better investor. Really.

Sign Up Nowe To start seeing what six thousand other traders are viewing. Seriously, it's that simple. There is no catch. Enter your email address and you're done. Period.

ALSO, the "Find Trends" button means nothing to me... I think it should just be "Sign-up" or something else?.... I literally don't know what "Find Trends" should mean in this context...

Anywho, love the general idea. Wish you the best of luck!!!!

I find the email address & name field when you first hit the page very jarring. When I first hit the page I'm not ready to give that info. I want to learn a bit before then. My first instinct (like a cat swatting at a dangling rat) was to scroll down or "X" out.

As a skeptical retard the "See our most recent issue" should be more 'up front and center' so that I can experience what you're offering without the stress of entering my email address into yet another website.

Also, are you associated with Reddit or /r/wallstreetbets? The logo feels similar..
