Last week, I had an hour to use 50% of my Codex credits (thanks @thsottiaux), so I asked Astra to create a personal website in Guardian, my favorite map from my favorite game, and make it a treasure hunt.
It ended up taking 973M tokens, 37 hours of Codex runtime, and 25-30 hours of my time across 8 days.
Try it out and let me know what you think: runboli.com
We just launched Video-to-Video v3.
When we started working on v2v in 2023, the outputs were flickery and lacked temporal consistency.
Today, it's hard to make out the outputs from real video game and cartoon scenes.
It's been really fun working on this over the years. I'm excited at where we're headed.
Replying to @magichourai
@magichourai took home 1st place, 2nd place, and a 5090 GPU at the first @ComfyUI hackathon. This team is cracked
Thanks @jojodecayz for organizing, and @Comfyanonyous, @PurzBeats, @JulienAIArt, @ErwannMillon, @Kosinkadink, and Benjamin Lu for judging.
Learning Figma is like discovering designers have been playing competitive Starcraft this whole time
It's like "wait, you've been memorizing 50+ keyboard shortcuts and navigating buried menus for years?"
Yesterday I visited UC Berkeley for the first time.
First time on the other side of a job fair.
Less nerve-wracking. A lot of students were nervous, like I used to be.
After, we followed @kathrynwu1 to get tofu soup in an alley.
I think I would've liked going here.
Founder mode is watching daily pool parties in 81 degree weather while checking your co2 monitor to make sure you're not slowly dying
it's harder to empathize with people when you haven't experienced the same things, like fighting a war on your own soil, but we should still try
putting decisions through chatgpt, claude, and grok feels like having a board of advisors without the calendar invites
there's something intimate about hearing someone say "why?" it's like getting a peek into a thought that typically only lives in their brain
One year of Group Office Hours with the Camels. Some of my best friends from YC, and one of the few recurring meetings I look forward to
