I hope I get a medal one day for bad project filenames: LBP1 = ps3test1 LBP2 = ps3test1 LBP server = pagetest Dreams = dd Dreams server = aaa Plinky = omgwtf
decided to look at chatgpt's memory and discovered that every one assumes my name is 'buddy'. every technical memory begins 'buddy is...'. turns out at some point i was typing stupid things into it to show my kid and... it never forgot.
Models just want to generalize. For the past years, we’ve been pushing the frontier of controllability in video, releasing new models and techniques for inpainting, outpainting, segmentation, stylization, keyframing, motion and camera control. Aleph is a single in-context model…
Introducing Runway Aleph, a new way to edit, transform and generate video. Aleph is a state-of-the-art in-context video model, setting a new frontier for multi-task visual generation, with the ability to perform a wide range of edits on an input video such as adding, removing…

i'm really enjoying ' common side effects'. (late to the party i know). if you're looking for a show to watch, give it a whirl.
watching this doc and getting nostalgic for metalheadz at the blue note in hoxton in the mid 90s. formative stuff for me. youtu.be/imlMqm_Lba4?si…
Inspired by Alex, I wrote a little tool + a Visual Studio extension that does this! github.com/EeroMutka/PyEx…
i vibe coded something horrendous and I love it: a python c preprocessor that finds blocks like /* python <arbitrary python code> */ in a .c file, runs the python, and dumps the stdout after the comment, replacing any old block if needed. im using it to precompute tables...
thomas strikes back - new jit based tiny-cuda-nn release allows instantngp to render 5x faster and train 1.5x faster with less code. cool to see how far you (or thomas :)) can push kernel fusion github.com/NVlabs/instant…
this came on the ol' playlist youtube.com/watch?v=WR6lYU… and it reminded me of the opening music of this old demo, which I will forever love. youtube.com/watch?v=De8GyS… that's the tweet, send.
this video has brilliant demonstrations and explanations of weird bokeh & penumbra effects called ' blistering', which despite having implemented renderers with bokeh and blurry shadows many times, ive never understood before. great stuff! youtu.be/MuvuxHXLzls?si…
