maybe its standard for someone who ends up on hackernews, but I'm a 30 something and all of my friends are online people around my age and none of them have ever heard of the HPMoR. The internet is a huge place.

huh. goes to show how much browser selection impacts things. the OMP Qwen result is completely unresponsive in free cam on my iphone, whereas the opencode version is responsive, has multitouch zoom and multitouch pan. the glm models do really well with this as well, but all of the anthropic models have pretty gimped camera controls, even astra, which while pretty wont let me pan and only allows me to rotate about 120 degrees! I’m really impressed with the Qwen 27b OpenCode result.

I suppose the only thing that the prompt asks for is the cinematic view, and honestly they all kinda fail on the “subtle volumetric-style fog planes”, none of them have more fog when you get farther from a light source.

yeah, isn’t that the main focus of discipline of software engineering?

Wouldn’t any software that is a client and relies on a proprietary server to function (like most modern AAA games) be “closed source” under this definition? Not that I agree with this definition of open source btw, just saying that there is precedent.

you should review the data on processed meat. It's one of the least healthy things you can eat.

yeah i'm genuinely baffled by this too. I read this attitude frequently and I'm tending towards the conclusion that its simply a loud minority of people. I don't know anyone who acts like this in real life.

How is an LLM summary really any worse than reading through random blogs, forum posts, or reddit? Those are somehow so much more reliable? If you want authority it gives you links, and if you don't find good enough links you can ask it a follow up--no need to be coy--just straight up ask it for more authoritative sources and it will usually surface them. It's so blazingly fast relative to doing genuine naive search, I really don't see the downside.

I have more energy in my 30s than my 20s

you should see people who play competitive fps games fly through windows menus and websites. the reason I think mousing is superior to keyboard is when you attain a high skill level of eye hand coordination, you are completely adaptable to any GUI.

Is a photograph art?

disdain for dumping industrial sludge into rivers is quite high too. if you don’t demand regulated domestic production it will just get moved to the least regulated place with the best underlying economics, I imagine you know this though…
