That's not 3d

The example on the linked video it isn't, correct.

Here is another video, this time with S-PACKAGE used to develop Nintendo 64.

Which given the REPL capabilities, you can easily embedd them on it, just like the other video.


Later rebranded as Mirai. I remember playing with a pirated copy of Nichimen Mirai somewhere in 2001 (I think), it looked weirdly Ediacaran in the Cambrian explosion of the late 90s.

So you're saying that the Xerox workstation didn't have inline 3d graphics rendering capabilities? And in fact this isn't an instance of UNIX trying to catch up to Xerox workstations' REPL from yester-decade?

that's a poorly chosen counter-complaint. before SGI, symbolics owned the market for 3d graphics. this was a world where you could also just do (create-window), see the window, and get back a handle you could use to draw in it. starting with X10 afterwards for me was like drowning in mud.

I think the original comment is actually a poorly chosen example vs me having a poorly chosen counter-complaint.

It's also from 2013

But that's not what was relevant to their comment.

"Here's this new thing that can Ⓧ!" "Pfft, Y could do X years ago."

Well, Ⓧ ≠ X. Come on now, we're programmers here.


Just noting how every single part of that was wrong.

I'm actually not sure what you're saying. Are you implying inline 2d graphics are the same as inline 3d graphics? That's what the subtitle of Ratty was about. And that's not what was shown in original comment's video. Why does it matter if it was from 2013? It wasn't showing off the same thing as Ratty.

He was responding to "Inline graphics from 1981"

It is when you use a CRT instead of a flat panel.

I actually made a Wikipedia browser directly inspired by Andy's blog: https://steezeburger.com/wikipedia-browser/

I find it a really intuitive way to browse notes and to get a feeling for the relationships between your collected information.


This is great! Thank you :heart:


This doesn't seem like a very good solution to be honest. And why use an LLM for this? What if I want a legit random ass string as my username?


You're not owed anything, you can take your legit random ass string username to another company that allows it.

I suspect any company would take this trade off, losing some customers but significantly lowering fraud.


then you have the bot picking Xbox-esque usernames like BluePanda72 instead


I don't quite get how that would work. They were completing tasks to train models but via sms? Can you elaborate?


There's two seperate things DoorDash seems to be doing: "Tasks" in the physical world (taking photos of inventory on shelves, closing Waymo doors), and then some seperate app for training AI models.

As for Magic, they were an SMS-based virtual assistant. They still exist today. They went downhill. https://getmagic.com/

> closing Waymo doors

They can't reverse and brake?



Fifty two feet?! Damn!



Reminds me of Stone Henge in Spinal Tap https://youtu.be/zg5Ovdu6bOE


I run an HAOS vm via VirtualBox and then use Tailscale for a secured network.


I use a pocket for this scenario.


I've used tons of wired as well. Maybe have bad one pair fail at the wire? I'm super active with them too. Snowboarding with them and my Sony g shock in 1998. Lots of cycling and running usage. You've had every single pair of wired headphones fail for you? Every single pair?


> my Sony g shock

What is a "Sony g shock" if you don't mind? I know Casio's G-Shock and Sony's Sports series... did you mix them by chance as I suppose or is there a Sony range I'm not aware of?


Haha whoops, I totally conflated the two! The Sony Atrac3Plus had a feature called "G Protection". It was the only "anti skip" cd player that I tried that actually worked really well back then.

I also exaggerated the year a bit. After looking it up, I think this cd player came out in 2004!


Tons of wired headphones have little controllers on them to change songs and pause.


I couldn't believe it wasn't mentioned after that intro haha
