    This is great! I really like the retro look on the example models and the video. I've never edited voxel models with the spritestacking 2D technique, I'll give it a try. Is it more…

    This is great news! I'll definitely be in line to get it whenever my turn comes. A thing that keeps worrying me is the amount of people I've seen/chatted with (empirical evidence) …

    I got excited when I saw the title, then checked the URL and it is a software simulation / game of building a computer. I'm not denying this can be interesting, but I've been think…

    This is a great book! I recommend it to everyone that's interested in computer graphics. I used this first book as a project to learn Clojure https://github.com/ElHacker/rt-in-week…

    This is amazing! Can't believe Sega had a VR Headset in 1993 and for only $200, it's a bit sad they couldn't get it out there. I believe VR is coming very close to going main strea…

    My favorite code editor by far is Vim. But I've tried newer ones over the years: Sublime, Atom, VSCode, etc. None of them seem to stick with me and I always go back to Vim. I think…

    I've recently started using VS Code and my favorite feature by far is Zen Mode. It allows me to focus a lot more, takes away a lot of the distractions I get from my million open br…

    I'm currently going through with my first startup, I'm a technical founder and this post definitely helps me to try to invest more of my time learning how to do sales. Thanks for s…

    Wrote this simple plugin that just shows the new and modified files in vim's quickfix window, powered by git status. I find it very useful to easily navigate to the files I'm worki…

    I would love to see a version of this applied to both VR and AR but it seems that the current implementation is still slow for the performance that VR requires. From the site: "Dur…

    This is a cool project. I did something similar with LSTM in Tensorflow to generate Reddit comments. The biggest problem I found in my experiment is that the comments generated had…

    That's not what I meant. I'm pro-informed voters. Restricting the vote to only the ones that pass a quiz does lead to aristocracy.

    You're proposing aristocracy, that would be a big step backwards. I think there are far better ways to inform people about their choices and give them the power to decide who they …

    I really like that they used TensorFlow and published their code in GitHub. It will help a lot of people like me, that are new in the field and want to learn more about generative …

    Hello Sam. I'm a Software Engineer at a Big Tech Co. I've been ambivalent about going back to school to do a part-time master's degree in AI, or just do self-studying. Creating a s…

    Having the habit of writing down your ideas everyday sounds like a good exercise to improve your redaction skills. I don't see much more value other than that. Yes, ideas are cheap…

    Sure, believing in your startup as a founder goes a long way. Keeps you motivated in coming back to work at it and walk the extra mile. But is not the founder's most important task…

    It all comes down to the scale factor. The monolithic approach makes more sense for big companies that have a large portfolio of projects, an army of software engineers and the res…
