@unrealengine @jeancf Time to make a statement and switch! 😀
@paul I guess the race is on to build an open/decentralized form of that platform, too
@256 I think at the time I waited for a 3d game that would have that art style but none ever arrived
@SwiftOnSecurity Wait 2 years until that post is in its training data and it refuses to answer anything you ask 😉
@BartWronski Next some robotic Bard-generated vocal fragments maybe? 🙃 (watched that whole industrial history clip on youtube that you mentioned btw, good stuff 👌)

Dan is such a fantastic writer and puts into words all the thoughts we all have on the topic and crystalizes them into engaging and smart material: https://youtu.be/EiZhdpLXZ8Q
Great piece on Metaverses (not just decentraland).
The ending is the most striking - for the capital M Metaverse to succeed, it needs to be a pyramid scheme and requires buy-in from literally whole humanity, otherwise it's worthless. It's literally built into the concept.

Following Elsevier's decision to raise the article processing charge for NeuroImage to $3,450, all editors (inc. chief editors) from NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports have resigned, effective immediately.
I am joining this action and have also resigned.

@SwiftOnSecurity was going to say, the last time I saw that clock with the striped background was around '03 on the Sun Ray terminals of my university. Well, then I spotted the dates
@Migueldeicaza Have a hard time grokking how so many otherwise smart people can remain captive to whatever is left of that formerly great platform. It's like sticking around on myspace until the bitter end

Apparently people don't just like emulated calculators in the browser - they love it, and want more.
So come enjoy the CALCULATOR DRAWER, a dozen plus emulated calculators and (where I could find them) the manuals. Get calculating!

Random thought: the end game of "creative" ML tools (for design etc) is not just job replacement.
It's algorithmic "everything". An algorithm that can generate 1000 slightly different ads, display to users, and based on clicks optimize itself and promote the most succesul ones.
(Netflix already does that with trailers, but still half manually.)
Real world reinforcement learning, where human attention is the reward function, cheap to evaluate.

There's been a huge increase in malicious ads on Google lately. In some cases the first 4-5 search results for certain pieces of software have all been malicious ads leading to info stealers.

Coming soon: Ricoh 2A03 support (the NES CPU) for visual6502remix :)
@rrmutt @arclight @bitsavers Definitely some truth to that, but google Multi-Jet Fusion and what role it plays in advanced engineering today
Good old memories of my childhood, part of which was spent making this run fast in Turbo Pascal & assembly:

The best feature of Mastodon is that you can mention the words "hashing" and "crypto" and you won't be swarmed by bots or morons.

@DirtyPunk @aras I have a hunch that that's an impostor though
