Listening recommendation. Enjoying @endorphins.bsky.social 's Borrowed Time album. While individually beautiful, Ascending sounds like it could be part of the soundtrack of a story driven horror game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7uV...
Boards of Canada "Olson" on a 1959 PDP-1 Computer .... "what 12 years no album does to a fanbase"
Such a joy.

Wait for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj5I... - wait for it indeed !
Nouveau Monica - Universal Mind Chaos. When I first heard this 2 year old track last week it had a couple hundred views. Now in the thousands - no reason to believe it shouldnβt be 100βs of thousands. youtu.be/uwzFVfFEKck?...
Your LLM is wrong and hallucinating; try gemini 2.5 pro or Claude pro. No magic just a challenge to the llms to de-base64, solve a little riddle for a key and then decrypt. But the fact they can read base64 means you can do some prompt injection that is visible but not humanly readable β¦

Happy PI day. My movie recommendation for today is :
You savage
This demo has me blown away - try it! Cracking latency in voice like this really makes a difference. (cc @lucasmeijer.bsky.social)

Enjoyable things; βIs 1 bit enough?β youtu.be/SDSwhE4-_3U?...
Iβd say yes.
Dorian Conceptβs Change Blindness is the glimmer of creative beauty I needed today. All on one sh-101 β¦ www.youtube.com/watch?v=320e...
A work of art. The pinnacle of release notes that say nothing.
Including the self-centered billionaire technocrat with all the solutions was more prescient than even I expected from this documentary. "Wants the world to be saved, but only if he is the one to save it".
So... instead of doing anything useful today... I made Blender VSE timeline run Doom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2iD...
The headline : βTikTok prepares for immediate and abrupt shutdown!β
The answer : βnothing of value was lostβ
youtube.com/watch?v=eayI... my favorite beautiful thing of the day.
MKBHDs SORA review. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY2x... "what is this tool actually for" is the right question. The answer indeed hopefully isn't "NFTs".
Persistant believable realism seems some ways away based on the review.
One machine talks to another machine and takes down an beautiful treasure trove of human creativity, while no human can intervene ? Is that about right ?
A BeBox workstation in all its Clinton-era glory.
I really thought BeOS was going to be The Next Big Thing(tm). It's probably for the best that I don't gamble.
I would hate to be The Onion for the next 4 years, where real headlines will be indistinguishable from satire.
LoneStar^Spaceballs worked on that; lookup State of the Art and 9 Fingers on Amiga and you find the origin and connection between this title and that tech ;-)
I remember joining Twitter in January 2007.
@neb.me said something along the lines of "You should give Twitter a shot, it's interesting".
We updated our status using SMS from dumb phones.
You could still meet cool nerds.
This feels a lot like it.
Already racking up awesome folks βΊοΈ
GenAI Tools can be a blessing for creators - tools to help, but those tools cannot come at the cost of other creators losing the right to their content, likeness - that's not a technology conversation, that's a societal conversation. The technology can follow.
And with that, unclarity of data ownership is now mixed in. Things that should be absolutely clear are things like likeness, derivative works - but the ai fog of war made things muddy and unscrupulous actors took advantage of that. We need to return to a discussion about ownership&rights.
The notion of the distribution and indexing platforms using that data for commercial purposes was first approached in the early internet days - f.ex. the laws around hyperlinking. But that was when people had and "owned" websites - now your content goes to aggregation / distribution platforms.
The real question for the current wave of generative AI is pushing is control and ownership of data that has been "publicly" available. Now that is useful in creation, it is right to re-question the ownership of that data. We were all there when the big platforms (search, social, entertainment) came
Hello to the continuing wave of new followers π
Did you know we open-sourced the demotools we made Chaos Theory and Offscreen Colonies with?

We don't usually receive a lot of feedback on these, so let us know if you find the code interesting!
The ultra-wide Mac Screen in Vision OS 2.1 truly is the killer app for the Vision Pro - it's hard to go back to a 16'' MacBook screen after using it.
