Extremely cool!

Can't wait to give it a spin with ollama, if ollama could list it as a model that would be helpful.

It's cool and all and I typically enjoy lowres renditions... unless, it actually impacts gameplay.

Since the gameplay is so much about 4D, clarity in what you see becomes more important and the extremely low resolution actually impairs the player rather than serve a positive (typically 'leaves more to the imagination').

It wouldn't take much of an effort to double or triple the resolution which I think would help the gameplay.

The reason it is so low res is actually more interesting than simple aesthetic choice. Think about the sensor(or eye) needed to view a 3d scene, it is 2d right. So this is a 3d sensor(voxels) for a simulated 4d camera. and then we are looking at the 3d sensor. (with our 2d sensor(eyes)), it's sensor inception.

So it is as low res as it is because it is a bunch of voxels simulating a 4d camera.

The dev put out an interesting video on the topic.

There have been other 4D video games with actually good performance though.

They should have used Gaussian Splats, surely this would reduce processing overhead.

The low resolution didn't bother me too much, but the controls made this completely unplayable for me.

Fully agree. The low-res makes this unnecessarily hard to navigate. Which is a downside if your core gameplay is to teach players to navigate in a challenging environment.

Agreed this is not even 4d Wolfenstein but still a really neat concept

Amusing how this industry went from tweaking code for the best results, to tweaking code generators for the best results.

There doesn't seem to be any adults left in the room.

And seemingly we have stopped considering the fact that when we engineer something, we consider so much more than the behavior specified in the ticket.

Behavior built on top of years and years of experience.

And the problem with AI is that unless you explicitly 'prompt' for certain behavior you're only defining the end result. The inside becomes a black box.

Isn't having a prompt file turning the black box into an explicit codification of those years and years of experience? That would make it easier to understand and disseminate.

I haven't found their limit, but I have found my limits, of waiting for them to do their thing...

I tend to re-enjoy handrolling code more. I delegate the stuff that annoys me.

We have a large multiplatform codebase, the issue seems to be more the time it takes to navigate the code and reason about it, rather than the size. Arguably the size is causing 'them' to be slower in that regards, but I haven't found the limit yet. And with compaction, it's even less of a problem.

my 5c.

Exactly.

They wouldn't copy each other for copyright infringement as much as it was a mark of respect. They carried each other's arts as an evolution and respect towards each other rather than copying; all bringing a small twist on what was before.

This is the sort of Apple gotchas that really upset me.

They've got a good thing going, but they keep finding ways to alienate people.

Their suggestion : get an Apple monitor that we just launched.

I don't think that one supports this use.

Interesting I've never heard of waterfox before. Looks interesting!

I've covered it a few times on the Register. :-)

Any chance regular vim will some day get multiple cursors? That's the one thing I miss.

Agreed. I've been building software for 25 years+.

At some point I became so burnt out I couldn't look at an IDE or coloured text for that matter.

I found the way back by just changing my motto and focus... Find good people, do good work. That's it, that's all I want.

I don't care whether the 'property is hot' or what the market is doing anymore, I just build software in my lane, with good people around.

I noticed the training part, that was interesting for my use case. Unfortunately it's said 'on NVIDIA'.

Is there an alternative, tutorial, or project you'd recommend that would help me do supervised fine tuning (SFT) with the metal stack / macOS?

They state further down that they're working on non-Nvidia support. Looking forward to it, since I'm pretty heavily invested in suffering on AMD (ROCm sucks, but everything else about AMD is worth it to me.).

Use that mac to rent Nvidia gpus
