Now that Sora has been officially released to the paying public (although not in the EU or Switzerland), some of the asides in this short essay seem outdated.
However, given the videos I've seen online so far, my main point still seems valid to me: Β«It's a flat worldΒ»

#Generative art. I made the computer do this using only 150 lines of hand written GLSL code without libraries.

So once you have your own DPS you should keep it forever? That’s a commitment

Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but when I was a teenager, I took the train to go to the record store to find rare stuff. Spotify is way more convenient, but that wasn't the point. The point was to get out and to feel like you're hunting, to feel like you're living your life. I'm going to the movies, I'm going to this show. What streaming has done-it's very convenient, but it's taken the feeling of going hunting and turned it into we're all just being fed. We're all farm animals that are just being fed, and we're being fed content. You can just stay home. Just stay home. We'll just feed it to you. No wonder everyone's depressed.

Very close to release LYGIA.xyz v1.3. Probably the biggest release yet. A redesigned PBR model, raymarching pipeline, and a set of debugging functions to make your life easier + better support for WGSL and Metal.

Yeah forcing it never really works out. It kinda left me after the whole tezos chaos so it’s been a while now

US politics in terms of backend infra

republicans: want to run a monolith on a $5 vps
