Isn't that up to the reader/visitor/user to decide? As it stands right now, Cursor are publishing results they won't say how they got them, and compares them against aggregate scores we don't know the true results of, and you're saying "it doesn't matter, the tool is better anyways".

Then why publish the obscured benchmarks in the first place then?

More like looking a thin net preventing mosquitoes from biting your skin, as there is some intention behind it, not just physics.

Don't we have more internet submarine cables and less single points of failure in our internet infrastructure today than years ago? If so, shouldn't that make it easier to route around failures?

The web though I agree isn't very decentralized.

> IOW, they're not dumping, they're doing the opposite. I don't know why.

If they're doing the opposite yet end up a lot cheaper with higher quality and more features, I'm really not sure what's going on. Don't see how they could be cheaper either.

Well, in my country I can get up to 7K EUR back if I purchase a EV before the money runs out, not sure tariffs end up having any impact.

I'm a European with an Audi car, been looking at switching to EV and I can't lie and say BYD doesn't look like more value for the money than the Audi alternatives, so doesn't really surprise me.

> on Nov. 1, would apply export controls “on any and all critical software,” pushing the technology stocks lower after hours.

What sort of software would be impacted by this? Almost anything could be critical depending on the context.

If it was shot on film, isn't it possible to get 4K from it? Thought that was old news already.

Are you using it over Ethernet or WiFi? I remember I tried Moonlight to a local computer two or three years ago over Ethernet and the latency was still too bad, any ideas if that's better today?

Unfortunately seems it's Mac/iPhone only. Any cross platform alternatives?

> Any computer can generate a private/public key pair, which is all you need for identify.

Right, but once you've generated those, then what? You need a global registry of sorts so people can lookup each others keys for example, which is why DNS kind of is the best we have available today.

I don't think there is any perfect solution here, but it's hard to come up with something that has better trade-offs than DNS. Sure, ICANN might be based in the US, but so far DNS been relatively safe to rely on, and if ends up not reliable in the future, I'm not sure social media profiles is the biggest worry at that point.

I think where I grew up (Sweden) it started with the Sony Ericsson "Walkman" family of phones that could record 320×240 videos I think or something like that, and I think I was around 15 when they became almost ubiquitous at school, so must have been around 2006/2007.

Any possibility of getting all of those things except the animations themselves? Mostly curious about the auto rigging, auto bone structure and layered image output so I could do the animation myself with Spine yet use the tool so I can skip the annoying rigging/setup steps :) But currently it kind of forces me to generate the rigging + animation together.

Also, being able to touch up the model between Step 1 and Step 2 would probably be a neat addition, I could see some minor faults I could quickly clean up if I could download the generated .glb and import a new version, so Step 2 doesn't rely on a model containing mistakes.

Otherwise, this looks pretty damn good, the UX is slightly confusion at first, and the colors all over the place on the website itself, but it does seem to work better than I expected. Kudos for making the life of animators easier :)

Edit: two minor notes, the download URLs doesn't actually trigger a browser download, but instead shows it in the browser, and the uploaded files seems to end up being semi-public, no authentication at all. Might want to tell people to not upload private content just yet, or put uploaded/generated data behind auth. Might want to zip up all the files (so the directories for the image is correct too) and offer a download of that instead.

Edit2: Looking at the generated .atlas, are all the names correct? I'm seeing "animated_Orc Idle_7328aa0f" even in the .atlas files generated from my own characters, using a walking animation. The attachments in the skins also reference "animated_Orc" in the generated .json, maybe it's just some static string that isn't supposed to change?
