That's a fair complaint, but for the most part that only applies to the faces (which would be an absolute nightmare to hand animate in sync with the voices in a way that felt real) and hair on some characters. The rest of the bodies, and objects in the scenes, are usually entirely hand animated.

To avoid the 3d printing elements would undoubtedly result in a less realistic and immersive movie. Not that you couldn't do it, but I think that's one element that makes these movies work so well.

All of the "important stuff" is practical stop motion. CGI is only used in cases where stop motion is either impossible (fire, waterfalls, the distant backgrounds of shots) or impractical (the wide shot of a scene with thousands of people)

And as a general rule, the main subjects of a shot are never CGI.

So the point is- it's stop motion. The amount of hand crafted and hand animated art on display is astonishing.

Disclaimer- I work there. In a support role, not directly, but I'm lucky enough to get to see the insane level of hard work everybody is putting in for years and years for a single movie

I flew with my six month old a while back with no issues. Gave her a bottle on both the ascent and the descent so her ears would pop and that worked perfectly.

She slept like a baby for most of the 5 hour flight and only cried once for maybe 60 seconds when she got hungry and I had to prep a bottle.

It definitely didn't seem like "babies experience a lot of pain" holds true at all if you plan for it

Yeah I completely gave up after a paragraph of overly wordy AI garbage.

There's no way just writing it out would have been worse

I think samplers are still clearly tools. You are still as a human performing with the sampler or at the very least manually arranging with it. If you gave somebody else the same sample, they would produce a different result.

Whereas AI (if we ignore RNG for a moment) will produce the same output from the same prompt. It's not a tool, it's a magic box that spits out a finished product with no human effort outside of the prompt.

You don't need to like Fortnite. There are plenty of other games in the same boat.

The point is that "normal people won't do that" is objectively false. Fortnite is just a good example because it's so popular.

At any given moment there are tens or hundreds of thousands of normal people playing Fortnite, on windows, with anti cheat on.

There are plenty of popular games that don't work on Linux, a notable example being Fortnite. One of the most popular games of all time.

I feel like it's a mix of so many things it's hard to know the answers to any of these questions.

- the job market is harder now, apparently because of AI - environmental concerns due to data centers - the ethical issues with scraping people's copyright data to power AI - slop overwhelming the Internet, fake videos all over tiktok that seem real - safety issues like AI psychosis

The world is hard right now, and a lot of the things that make it hard seem to intersect in all sorts of ways with the way AI is being developed, run, and used.

If you solve one of those issues, you still haven't solved the other ones.

The vs code integration is pretty slick. I can copy and paste function names into the prompt and it automatically turns them into these `#sym:` reference objects that I presume populate the context window with metadata about the function and where it lives. It knows what file I'm currently looking at as I jump around in the code, and that automatically gets loaded into the context. I can also drag and drop folders or specific files for context into the sidebar.

It's a lot of stuff that makes me have to type less into the prompt, since it's already getting so much info from my editor

As somebody who frequently switches between windows and Linux, I will pretty much never install an app that's only on one platform. Cross platform options mean I don't need to pay for or learn separate apps for the same thing on each OS

I don't care if it's QT or a WebView or something else, I just want to lower friction for myself

I feel the same way. I recently installed Windows XP in a VM for nostalgia and it was shocking how much I realized windows has improved since then.

I'm not obsessed with windows 11, but I am the happiest using it than I've been with any other version (aside from the TPM 2.0 requirement, that's my #1 complaint)

I'm probably listening to more music than the majority of people, but I have about 6,000 songs on mine.

That's what got me into Vue and I still use build less Vue all the time for tiny little sites that aren't worth setting up a whole CI process for. It's really lovely that it's an option.

Just like how easy jQuery was to get started with back in the day, but a whole framework
