I built a procedural medieval island map generator using Wave Function Collapse on hex grids. 4,100 cells, 900 possible states per cell, 60fps on mobile. Wrote up the whole process with lessons learned. Links below π #threejs #webgpu
I think Manchester has deployed boosterism well over the last decade, but it has tended to work because it delivered things at the same time. Boosterism without delivery is just words and thereβs some risk the city starts to rely too much on narrative for its momentum

Looking forward to see @jeffgerstmann.com take on Phil Spencer retiringβ¦
This one hits hard.
Broken Sword: Reforged, besides looking absolutely gorgeous, plays unexpectedly well on the tiny screen of my phone. The interface works great, everything is readable and visible, and I don't even need my glasses.

Huh, the Apple silicon decision to have unified memory means you can run LLMs with crazy memory requirements pretty easy⦠*goes off to look up Mac Studio pricing*
Iβve found it useful in researching about the latest advancements in Huntingtons disease. It was able to find formula relating to my specific question and interpret the data relating to my scenarios and give sources for everything for me to check. YMMV but Iβve been fairly impressed w/ latest models
Stick it in to research mode, it will do exactly that. I agree that previous versions were plagued with inaccuracies. In research mode it gathers its context from web sources with references rather than relying on prediction.

I've started to see arguments that we have to get used to AI Slop coding even if it isn't great, because it's fast. Humans could go faster, too, if they're allowed to turn in stuff that only sometimes works. Such a fascinating double standard that will in no way come back to haunt, naw.
