akanet··on Show HN: Immersive Gaussian Splat experience of Sutro Tower, San Francisco
Dude

Wow surprising, do you have any console errors? I tested extensively in Android chrome. To dismiss the modal you can tap in the margin.

I give a bit more color in the twitter thread https://x.com/fulligin/status/1892685973731061937

You can use Q and E

Thank you, a fix is deploying now.

Look around closely at the top level of the tower :)

Oh interesting, can you tell me what browser environment you're on?
akanet··on I don't like Docker or Podman
All of the author's complaints are correct, of course, but the question is simply whether the juice is worth the squeeze. For the most part, I think, it is.
akanet··on Bioluminescent wood using the white rot fungus desarmillaria tabescens
I'm growing panellum stipticus on some wood and rice right now. The glow is very faint but quite satisfying to perceive. I hope to make a nice nightlight out of it
akanet··on Bop Spotter
It was me - I will say that wardriving rickroll would be complete overkill
akanet··on Show HN: I created an After Effects alternative
There are many editors that compete with Premiere, which at this point is a janky unusable mess for me. Resolve has been a joy to work with.
akanet··on Open-Sora does pretty good video generation on consumer GPUs
I don't think vaporware as a term really applies here. Sora is real and I've seen it used live - it actually works and it is pretty astounding. I don't know how well scaling it for the public will go but they definitely built the thing.

lmao
akanet··on Daylight Computer tablet review
I actually recorded an interview with Patrick a couple weeks back, I'll get around to posting it sooner or later.

Thanks for the kind words about coderpad, and I am an investor in daylight, surprisingly

akanet··on Daylight Computer tablet review
There is no detectable latency. My girlfriend painted a landscape scene in the stock drawing app, came out pretty well on her first try.

I lent him my preproduction model

The tablet is Wacom enabled and has a nice surface finish for the tactile experience of writing
akanet··on CFPB Takes Action Against Coding Boot Camp BloomTech and CEO Austen Allred
Thanks
akanet··on Stability.ai – Introducing Stable Video 3D
There are many direct consequences of people being able to directly transform text into textured 3d models, and even vaster indirect consequences if one pauses to reflect. A tight feedback system with good cohesion could revolutionize, art, design, mechanical engineering, video games, etc, etc.
akanet··on Canadian government banning Flipper Zero to combat auto theft
That prop 13 is not agreed upon by residents of California's population as a major destructive force here is precisely their point.

It has been both absolutely disastrous and incredibly popular.

akanet··on The case for single-stair multifamily
You are mistaken, modern housing construction in major cities is far below historical numbers
akanet··on What I learned about MP3 encoding
The author may have been mistaken, but they were almost certainly simply stating what they thought of as fact, there's no need to accost them
akanet··on How to Get into Film Photography (and Why You Should)
I think this advice may work for some, but for most I think advantages of digital far outweigh film, even for people just getting into the hobby. Chiefly, being able to make thousands of mistakes is not a bug, but a feature - you need to make mistakes in order to improve, and being able to make them quickly is a huge help. Secondly, digital cameras are so good now that you can just do so many more things than you can with film, like video, swapping quickly between light levels, extremely accurate autofocus, timelapses, astrophotography, etc.

A very restrictive medium can help spark creativity, but it may also prevent neophytes from finding it.

akanet··on Netflix invents new green-screen filming method using magenta light
Magentas not that bad to work under, plus you're already working in front of a green screen.
akanet··on BART ridership is still down nearly 70% from pre-Covid levels
I think the analysis here tends a bit pessimistic. Bart just had its biggest day in years at Pride and its recovery is in line with the other agencies in the bay. If you're a fan of BART, I'd also like to invite you to the premiere of my movie about BART, playing at July 18th, 630pm at the Roxie. Here's a trailer: https://youtu.be/7eH3FfIGp8w, and you can grab tickets at https://roxie.com/film/tunnel-vision.
akanet··on What is really going on at Amazon Fresh?
They do, source: I worked at Amazon.
akanet··on RJIT, a new JIT for Ruby
Maxime, just wanna say I'm a big fan of your work https://twitter.com/fulligin/status/1524652417559646208
akanet··on News for Ruby 3.2.0
Really pleased to see Enumerable.product make it!
akanet··on This to That
Sometimes I'm curious, sometimes I just want to glue two things together to finish my project. Do you meet many people who mix their own glues?
