I was always curious about its performance. How is the latency compared to alternatives like Parsec, HP Anywhere or NoMachine?

Content creation usually, which consists of audio, photo, and video editing mostly. The hardware and software integration makes video editing on a Mac really superior, specially with their ProRes codec.

You can get a good experience on a Windows or Linux machine with DaVinci Resolve, but that’s mostly because of the way better GPUs like the 4090/RTX series you’ve got at your disposal.

Question for pros: I'm a Python dev who recently started diving into C++, hoping to build plugins for DCCs. However, every time I read these threads, I feel as if I'm on the completely wrong path. Positive views like the OP's are rare.

While I understand that not everyone gets to work on a John Carmack level codebase, is working on a C++ project really as challenging and unrewarding as it seems? Is the productivity that low, and do every step feel so difficult that they eventually drive developers away?

Because it creates more problems than it solves. A movie set is expensive and moves fast – and keying is not as big of a problem as they made it out to be.

For example, Niko doesn't seem to be aware of the IBK keyer (based on his comments in the VFX subreddit), which is the keyer used on almost every shot in high-budget movies. While it's not a single-click solution, it's the main tool to tackle thousands of shots with defocused edges, motion blur, and semitransparency every year.

Niko deserves credit for bringing Paul's incredible experiment, but Corridor is at its core a group of entertainers, and most of them have never had experience in a large production/VFX environment. Take everything they present with a grain of salt.

I'm seeing shots that would be incredibly expensive for some productions - even if we ignore the ones requiring visual effects work. Some of them would need small crews, permits, rentals of expensive equipment, casting, and travel. It's impressive and concerning at the same time.

Looks like Temporal and Prefect had a baby. I hope this gets traction and best luck to the team.

Is there any i3wm alternative that works with Wayland on Nvidia hardware (proprietary drivers)? I tried Sway and Hyprland last month but found neither ready for daily use.

The terminal window from VSCode still gives you all of that, with some extra ergonomics from the GUI. No need to remember ctrl b + % to split a Tmux window, scrolling and find just works, no need to install plugins to save sessions.

If a company train the model from scratch, on its own dataset, could the resulting model be used commercially?

This already happens with chess - despite the machine being superhuman, people have never been more attracted to the human game.

Perhaps what will happen is that we will have more time to play/watch more?

The GDPR in Europe doesn’t allow you to use publicly available information without explicit user consent, especially if involves personal data. Even doing some Google Analytics can in theory result in large fines.

Because most people prefer spend their free time consuming art instead of staring at a wall. You just forgot that art embraces games, music, movies, tv shows, comics, books or even some Youtube.
