tayo42··on How ChatGPT serves ads
Bad press from a contract like that happens once and everyone forgets. Ads are in your face everytime
tayo42··on Anthropic Joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron
I was wondering the other day if Ai could do tedious things like retopology and figuring out effecient uv unwrapping

Also was wondering how'd it would do things like sculpting? That sounds expensive like either you send millions of polygons for the model to explore? And that ruins the context window order doesn't even fit, or your sending tons of screenshots?

tayo42··on I quit drinking for a year
>went to a restaurant, I thought, “Should I have a drink?” Usually I decided not to. But making that decision required effort.

Every restaurant shoves alcohol menu in your face and your always being asked if you want a drink. Idk why I felt weird just having water for so long.

I think the only I miss about drinking is mostly being 20. Alcohol is a little painful now hangovers and heartburn and bloated feeling.

tayo42··on What Async Promised and What It Delivered
You can still use a function that returns result in a function that uses option.

And result and option usually mean something else. Option is a value or none. None doesn't necessarily means the function failed. Result is the value or an error message. You can have result<option, error>

That's different then async where you can call the other type.

This comment chain is probably talking about like aws images, amis, which is just an api call and it snapshots the vm for you. Or use packer

Vibe coded ui bug?

That sucks, I guess I'll cancel my Claude account. Not paying 100 dollars. That's crazy

Start from scratch means your doing all of your own asset loading and handling, physics, collisions, hit boxes, animations, level editor and probably need to know some graphics library or api
tayo42··on Turtle WoW classic server announces shutdown after Blizzard wins injunction
Are we getting so old that people are forgetting cs was a mod.
tayo42··on The creative software industry has declared war on Adobe
All of the software is to expensive for hobbyists.

How do people make the jump from hobby to pro without going broke paying for all of this software on their own? Is the art industry alittle more leniant about learning software on the job?

tayo42··on The quiet disappearance of the free-range childhood
The type of trouble is different. Your not going to get robbed trying to buy drugs on a farm.
tayo42··on The quiet disappearance of the free-range childhood

tayo42··on Good sleep, good learning, good life (2012)
> and generally everyone gets along well

That's a very important statement

I couldn't live with my grandma and couldn't live with my mom anymore. I needed space.

tayo42··on Schools Never Taught Critical Thinking: AI Exposed the Lie
If you ask someone how the economy is your asking about how your expenses are growing, income is keeping up with it, savings and investments, job stability. That all goes onto someone's sense of the economy.

And critical thinking isn't an empty phrase, it's like thinking about the accuracy of statements and analyzing them your self.

Do you take things literally generally? Or struggle with understanding people?

Pokémon was a slow grind and popular. Diablo was a grind too
tayo42··on Stanford report highlights growing disconnect between AI insiders and everyone

Oh has it? What's been good for 3d and animations?
tayo42··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)
Yeah for some digital art I've seen that for 2d. things like concept art is maybe not great or comics.

Has Ai been successful at 3d models? Like a high detail 3d sculpt would use 10 million polygons. It hasn't been able to do animations in 2d or 3d either.

tayo42··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)
Making 3d web games with webgl. And wondering if I should go all in on a career switch into digital art and 3d and leave software.
