mikeaskew4··on The title cards in Blade Runner are amazing
The Blues Brothers IS the soundtrack. Nobody remembers Twiggy was in it.
mikeaskew4··on International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF)
No comments, but thank you for sharing and staying vigilant.
mikeaskew4··on Gov. Greg Abbott halts Texas data center approvals
Nah, you’re pullin’ my leg.
mikeaskew4··on Everything I Know (1975)
Favorite quote of all time: “ You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
mikeaskew4··on The coolest use for the Vision Pro
Build it piece at a time, like the song goes…
mikeaskew4··on The Silicon Valley Founder Meat Grinder
“Who wants to make some real, positive impact on humanity,” says no one ever, anymore…
mikeaskew4··on The coolest use for the Vision Pro
Where can one find out more about this?
mikeaskew4··on The coolest use for the Vision Pro
None of it is very good yet. It’s got a long way to go.
mikeaskew4··on The coolest use for the Vision Pro
Too bad they’re not on phones. But also, it’s a slog to make a room and if you can do that, you probably want a mouse
mikeaskew4··on The coolest use for the Vision Pro
It’s a heavy lift (prob even a tarpit to investors) but you can’t blame people for trying.

You can also do this in AR on your phone (and even cardboard): https://sketchfab.com/models/78e5d822497e4cd7bc14308bab8f7df...

It’s not gotten very good yet.

I'd see that as evidence that the visualization is doing its job. It's much cheaper to discover "I wish the ceiling were 2" higher" before anyone starts building than after. The challenge is reducing the cost of each iteration. That's where newer tooling starts to matter.
mikeaskew4··on The coolest use for the Vision Pro
One could see this with a Google Cardboard and a phone, not just a headset.

But bringing the tools to the masses to create something like this, well that’s another story (one that I’ve been pursuing for many years myself).

Thanks, Christian!

mikeaskew4··on Herv AI – Spatial Intelligence
Can you elaborate?
mikeaskew4··on Train sim created by just one person is being called the best ever made
To crash the [train, plane, automobile] of course.
mikeaskew4··on Train sim created by just one person is being called the best ever made
Yeah, it’s a classic bystander’s assessment.
mikeaskew4··on Software Is Becoming Marketing
Wholly agree.
mikeaskew4··on Microsoft new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly
Teams Classic is better too.
mikeaskew4··on Widespread attacks on Iran have begun [video][50 mins]
It’s too bad “never interupt your enemy when they are making a mistake” is too long to make my permanent screen name.
mikeaskew4··on Voxel Space (2017)
Was mind-blowing then, for sure. Wonder if now in 2026, we’ve just been continuously splitting the cell on voxels instead of finding a better, more efficient way forward.
mikeaskew4··on Blueprint Bench: First signs of 3D spatial intelligence in LLMs
Wouldn’t it be better if everyone just had a floor plan?
mikeaskew4··on Ask HN: Honest question about text-to-CAD. Is it BS?
Amazing, with all that it can do in 2D…
mikeaskew4··on Cosmology with Geometry Nodes
Totally agree with you. But there is still a steep learning curve with Blender. when 3d tools can become truly “user friendly“ the sky is no longer the limit.
mikeaskew4··on Claude Design
Thumbs down. Great design is original thought. AI is wholly incapable of that.

Go ahead and roast me.

mikeaskew4··on Show HN: Home Memory – A local DB of my house, down to cables and pipes
Still, images and even models could have some merit. Imagine handing this off to an elderly parent who insists they can figure out everything by themselves. Or being able to measure how to run wiring to a new switch (in my century home, the wiring is spaghetti behind the walls and ceiling)
mikeaskew4··on The threat is comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing
Could be possible that the 10x devs working at 100x are just starting down the homestretch…

The 10x dev doesn’t just set out to build a hello world app, ya know.

mikeaskew4··on The threat is comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing
“The world still needs empirical thinkers, Danny.”

mikeaskew4··on What Notion, Figma and Pokémon got right about multi-player
Specialized collaborative browsers are indeed coming, but how can small teams compete to deliver them?
mikeaskew4··on Chicago artist creates tourism posters for city's neighborhoods
Nobody was surprised when Jeppsons got in on the hand sanitizer effort during COVID. Didn’t even have to change the recipe.
