    This is a really interesting approach but I'm curious to see how it translates to the actual mesh extrusion, or whatever 3d technique they adopt. It's relatively easy to do this in…

    This gets at the heart of the quality of results issues a lot of people are talking about elsewhere here. Right now, if you treat them as a system where you can tell it what you wa…

    For Unity, claude is capable of creating .meta files and editing .unity scenes, at least until they get really large

    Fundamentally, they are really powerful text transformers with some additional capability. The further away from that sweet spot and the closer to anthropomorphization the more unr…

    It seems like the emphasis on getting results in one shot reduces the maximum potential quality of the output as compared to a more incremental approach. For example, create an ini…

    It's something that is more alien the longer ago it was that you got involved with the internet, but I've recently seen this firsthand myself and it works. It's not a general purpo…

    I've only researched this superficially but I believe that in Los Angeles county and possibly California at large it's the case that commercial zones include multi-family residenti…

    Do you mean the 3 mountain snowflake rating? I recently switched from some AT tires without it to those with it and while they definitely don't rise to the level of snow tires, the…

    It looks more like cinder block than marble from the photos, is that the case in person as well? Kind of a bummer to have a marble house that ends up being nothing special.

    Apple Maps desperately needs an offline mode, but for me, it's better in LA on the freeways because they at least make an attempt to show you what lane to be in. Lane guidance usua…

    I had two of my closest childhood friends die when I was young. It was a much different situation to yours, but I just wanted to say I know what that's like. I'm not haunted by it …

    I can't speak for Azure specifically, but I've been hearing variations on this theme since at least 2001 or so, when VB diehards thought the switch to .NET was going to be a failur…

    Back in the day, my setup was one 30" in the middle in landscape and a pair of 21" (or whatever that was that had the right dimensions) on the sides in portrait mode. The big scree…

    You’d be surprised how much of an effort it takes to safely descend a steep slope with poor traffic. Definitely harder going up but if you check it out on google earth you can get …

    As someone who lives nearby part of the year, I really think this story has taken on a life of its own. It's true that there is some gross algae in the South Fork Merced but from a…

    I live one town over from Oakhurst part of the year and it's really just astonishing to think of it as any sort of tech hub at all. It's too bad that Sierra took all of that when t…

    There are some fairly simple steps that get overcomplicated due to companies selling products. 1) Figure out what you want to grow 2) Look up what kind of soil pH and what nutrient…

    It's a lot of money but it's also a weird job. Lifeguarding at the ocean isn't like sitting beside the neighborhood pool. It's a pretty niche skill and seasonal on top of that. It …

    This is the key, as with many things it’s hard to get momentum established without some external motivation. It was always interesting to me but I could never keep a knot in my hea…

    If you find this stuff interesting, pick up a book aimed at hobbyist metal lathes. Just reading a little about how you set up a tiny home version can give you a whole new level of …

    This thing is simultaneously the harbinger of techno-dystopia and something I can see being really useful in my vacation rental to check up on things between guests. This is part o…

    All this and the chronological sort mode is still totally broken. Third post in my feed is 3 days old followed by one 2 hours. Total joke.
