This is useful for everyone not just non-techy types. I can't help but compare this to sites like shadertoy that let you develop with a simple coding interface on one half the screen and the output on the other (as…
gimp has been my goto when I want to explain bad ui, developer designed ui, or just typical foss ui I'm glad they're fixing it. It's also my image editor of choice.
I also thought this when I read the abstract. input=prompt output=response does make more sense.
Someone has to do 'Way of Air Traffic Control' and write second rate asian philosophy inspired poetry about how planes aren't really an important part of the job and will just land themselves.
Asking the model to write a shader. They are getting better at this but are still very bad at producing (code that produces) specific imagery. I do have to write prompts that stump models as part of my job so this…
I think top prize has to go to the first book I read in 2024 - 'Dark Matter' by Blake Crouch. It's a little different from the sci-fi I usually read like Liu or Banks, as it reads more like Stephen King and is weirdly…
Yep, you were onto something. Everything is so useful, almost vital now. If it were cross-platform and had a text-search option it would be perfect. I think the only other limitation is the columns for search and sort…
There is something very click-baity about articles like this. There always seems to be the implication that these examples are completely independent emergent behaviour, like the AI has suddenly acquired self awareness…
I thought that simplicity was part of the appeal. Have you tried WGSL? It is a bit more complex, but I'm finding it quite fun to work with.
Weird that there's no mention of Rayleigh–Bénard convection, or the very similar phenomena at giant's causeway.
What percentage of the 100+ Zettabytes of data now on the internet does this page take up?
By all accounts he did die suddenly. Whether it was suicide is for a coroner to determine. I think that's the reason for the seemingly obtuse language. Edit - The article does mention a death certificate confirming…
Interesting. I couldn't see myself using a tool like this for bulk remembering of things. And I don't think it would be practical for that. But for specifically important things like certain words my brain like to…
Because he's building native JS games already. And they likely work in Safari. It would be a step backwards, unless he wants to publish for desktop/mobile as well. I even found Godot's desktop export to be less…
I started around the same age. Though sadly not with JS and modern browser tech. The most difficult concepts in use here are arrays and function calls. So quite possible for a clever 9 year old. If he was using an…
This is great work. I started around the same age, though I only had BASIC or assembly language and neither was very suitable, to the extent I almost gave up on game development. I didn't start building games with JS…
I would also encourage the kid as much as possible, but I'd be doing them a disservice if I didn't also take the opportunity to teach them about the basics of keeping flowers alive in transit.
Godot is designed for beginners, but also those that don't like to get their hands too dirty with code. Also the web export is likely inferior to what he can do with JS directly. With that in mind I'd recommend he…
My thoughts exactly. I was thinking it maybe genuinely unfair treatment, but then I read the developer's own description of the game. Anyone who describes their own work as 'basest of all time' is clearly going for…
Thanks. Yes I do tend to overlook HLSL, despite being a windows user and a game developer, I tend to focus on gfx technologies that come out of Khronos and the W3C. Slang does look a lot like GLSL, I am trying to get…
It's compute also, though that may depend on the target language.
Don't we already have a shader language with Rust-syntax in WGSL? It also works everywhere, given that WebGPU works wherever Vulkan, Metal & DirectX do...
Yes, this is actually more plausible. A bit like the three 6's in barcodes that I suspect were put there by an engineer with a dark sense of humour.
This new language. Do you mean something that compiles down to JS like Typescript, Coffescript & Dart? Or a language that compiles to WASM like C, C++ or Rust?
Between modern frameworks and that MS born monstrosity Typescript, I thought this was the JS-free web. I would love to see the back of it. Web Dev seems to be ignoring the last 10-15 years of new native browser…
