    Worked adjacent to the AV space 5~ years ago. This wasn’t my area but I remember learning that this was a robustly solved problem long ago.

    GoreTex is a bad example - it's gonna delaminate after a year or so of heavy use and is pretty much impossible to repair after that. Which also undercuts ACRONYM's messaging about …

    I’m sure there’ll be a PS6, but it honestly seems like non-portable consoles are on their way out. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s no next-gen TV console XBox at all, or if it’s j…

    From someone that worked in the industry ~6 years ago, it's clearly going well for them - frankly, they're expanding and scaling way faster than I would have thought possible in 20…

    Weird, I thought it was one of the best movies I've seen in the last few years. Wasn't at all what I expected to see, but was incredibly memorable and impactful. F1 on the other ha…

    Dude, I explicitly replied that I pinpointed it to Next. The moment I removed the Image tag and replaced it with a regular , it resolved itself. I didn’t even say I was using three…

    The most confusing part is that it only happened really intensely on just one developer's machine. I'll admit that the way we were using the image tag was a little unusual, but sti…

    Lee Robinson from Vercel is gonna show up in this thread as soon as he wakes up, don’t worry.

    Don’t ever use Next. Terrible developer experience, vendor lock in, weird undocumented conventions that make building anything other than some kind of B2B SaaS CRUD site full of un…

    > Plus, you've got the very large challenge of learning a rich, high-quality 3D representation from a very small pool of 3D data. The volume of 3D data is just so small, compared t…

    Why are you going all in on world models instead of basing everything on top of a 3D engine that could be manipulated / rendered with separate models? If a world model was truly ma…

    The paper they’re basing this off already does this. https://diamond-wm.github.io/

    It’s essentially this paper but applied to a bunch of video recordings of a bunch of different real world locations instead of counter strike maps. Each channel is just changing th…

    This is pretty much the same thing as those models that baked dust2 into a diffusion model then used the last few frames as context to continue generating - same failure modes and …

    There are immersive theater-type events that can scratch the same itch, although they tend to focus much less on participation than LARP events like this. The Starcruiser is probab…

    Next has been a nightmare to use every step of the way. Endless undocumented ways to shoot yourself in the foot, especially if you’re trying to deploy somewhere other than Vercel. …

    I commented on your other thread - but you should really clean up your information diet. From the vocabulary you use and the tone of your game and pitch deck, I can tell you’re som…

    I’ve evaluated almost any model that’s come out for game asset generation in the last few years and none of them are up to snuff. That alone tells me you haven’t looked at the outp…

    I feel like you’re trying to launch a consumer product like it’s a B2B SaaS company. As it is (broken site with no polish, little to no gameplay features, product hunt banner) you …

    That’s common parlance in archeology for ancient languages in that region. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Semitic-speaking_peo...

    As someone that experienced it several times, the red ring of death was a 270 degree circular segment - a full red ring indicates cable failure.

    I think most rage bait about the Warhammer series is manufactured by content farm channels to generate clicks - the series wasn’t even officially in development until a few weeks a…
