Hey, I love it as a pro user using it to make a wind simulator in the Gemini app for testing out 3d aerodynamics of designs.

Anthropic and OpenAI cannot become profitable unless they can reduce the ratio of training cost to inference profits. In the long run, their survival may depend on outlawing competitive open source models. This can only be done under the guise of safety regulation.

Now also with optional vertex color shading for fake ambient occlusion. This is as far as I'll take this method without doing actual texture painting I think =)

Ok true, but only if the data centers are used for AI. If the data center is used for photo sharing, the water stays clear.

So I found this paper from 2005 that might help solve one of the biggest problems in computer-use agents: Accurate Pointing! The paper is called The Bubble Cursor and the idea is really simple, but kind of genius. Instead of treating the cursor as one tiny pixel, dynamically expand its activation area so it locks onto the nearest valid target. Originally, this made pointing faster for humans. But for AI agents, it solves something bigger. When I say “click Add” or “change this,” the hard part is not reasoning. Its the unnecessary loop of sending your whole screenshot to the LLM and asking it the coordinates for where to click. So I’m combining Bubble Cursor with: - accessibility trees - browser DOM coordinates - on-device OCR - local UI object detection - CUA for actions The goal is simple: - LLM understands intent. - Local OCR and YOLO understands the screen. - Bubble Cursor resolves the target. - Pointer clicks Less screenshot guessing. Less latency. More privacy. I can be super vague about it like "can you click on the big button on the bottom left" and it just knows and I didnt even have to send a screenshot! I want to make the FASTEST and the most Accurate computer use agent which can keep up with the users intent. Shipping out a connector for @OpenAI and @claudeai so that even they can point and click quickly and take actions faster. The paper is by @ToviGrossman and Ravin Balakrishnan.

Student turns in a paper. Send it to AI, generate a 5 question quiz on the content. Student takes the quiz next day on their own paper. If they wrote it, easy. If they didn't, obvious. No detection software. No accusations. Just quiet accountability.

I get asked all the time: "Are your C#/Unity tutorials get outdated? Should I wait for new material?" Good news! If you're learning core concepts, then there's no problem! Languages like C# and engines like Unity rarely change at the fundamentals. My oldest tutorials still work, because things like C# classes, variables, functions; and Unity things like Game Objects and SpriteRenderers, they haven't really changed in 20+ years. Sometimes some tools or packages might change slightly or menus might move into different places, but the core concepts are forever. My advice: Don't stress over trying to find super recent tutorials, the older videos will still likely be 99% up to date and will still teach you a lot today!

Every programming problem has a million solutions! If you build something one way, and you see a tutorial building it another way, it does NOT necessarily mean your way is wrong or the tutorial is wrong. Both options can be perfectly valid! As long as the solution fulfills all the requirements then it is correct!
