I'm at 68 uploads of VHS tapes I've digitized for preservation on the Internet Archive. 📼🎉 All of them are either lost media or have original commercials. 📺 Let's get to 100 asap! 💯 (Link below)

Full Jensen story on Sega CEO saving Nvidia by turning a $5m contract for Dreamcast development into an equity stake in 1996: “[Sega’s CEO] decided that ‘Jensen was a young man he liked’…and if he would have kept that $5m investment, I think it’d be worth ~$1T today.” (Sega sold the stake at the IPO when Nvidia was worth $300m)

Minecraft exists because I unfairly lost a Java 4K competition. I built a full shmup with multiple enemy types, levels, boss battles, scrolling starfield, high color graphics, etc. Just about every feature you could think of. In 4 kilobytes. Judges said, “This game leaks expertise from its pores!” and “Sweetness. Pure sweetness.” Except for one judge. His computer crashed. He blamed the game and didn’t try it twice. I was knocked from 1st to 27th place. The winner that took my place in 1st? Miners 4K by Markus Persson. These days he’s known as “Notch”

A study published in the Journal of Consumer Research found that People Who purchase and watch Physical Media Are more Emotionally Intelligent than people who don’t

I always wondered about these - and I own them all; but great to know they're really re-rendered! I imagine they must have virtualised the original software stack to use PRMan on newer hardware (?)

With his Special Editions, George Lucas made many changes to the original Star Wars trilogy, and until now, the original theatrical versions have been unavailable. But the British Film Institute is set to show the 1977 theatrical cuts of the film at their upcoming Film on Film Festival. bit.ly/3Gd4NvN

🚨 Bill Maher talks about his dinner at The White House with President Donald Trump, Kid Rock and Dana White.

Carefully wording it! (I agree with him as he's inferring there's an optimal staffing size for maximum efficiency however make it faster/easier)

A great read!

Some thoughts on AI and the entire Studio Ghibli trend. 🥲

Times are changing. Service providers are soon going to have to adapt. Or at least have the ability to generate your own diffusion models. 360 spin (Pixverse) 3DGS (Inria Sibr viewer) Synthetic Human 3DGS SD LORA -> Pixverse 360 -> Metashape -> Postshot -> Inria Sibr (.PLY)

So, who was right? It's incredible to see "Grok" literally saying "My Take" in such a complex matter as this one and having more common sense than all the people involved in that conversation. Seeing this, it's clear that AGI is just around the corner. x.com/i/grok/share/e5jsbPx6A…

Steve saw the world not just as it was, but as it could be. His vision continues to inspire us to push boundaries and create the future. Today, on his 70th birthday, we honor his legacy and his enduring impact.

How is it possible that a satirist sitting in the EU Parliament addresses more important issues and speaks more truths than 99% of political leaders? Listen carefully to his words. And ask yourselves why it is not discussed more. AI will cause jobs to disappear. It is not predictable and we need to discuss the consequences now!

I try to do all model reviews in the Vision Pro. There's SO MUCH that can be ascertained in an instant, once you're viewing a model in calibrated stereoscopic (literally only takes a second or two to know whether it's 'right or wrong') This is a great feature to have in Painter!

So true

Nicolas Cage says "protect yourselves from AI." “There is another world that is also disturbing me, and it’s happening right now around all of us — the new AI world. I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us. Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us. That is a dead end if an actor lets one AI robot manipulate his or her performance even a little bit, an inch will eventually become a mile and all integrity, purity and truth of art will be replaced by financial interests only. We can’t let that happen. The job of all art in my view, film performance included, is to hold a mirror to the external and internal stories of the human condition through the very human thoughtful and emotional process of recreation. A robot can’t do that. If we let robots do that, it will lack all heart and eventually lose edge and turn to mush. There will be no human response to life as we know it. It will be life as robots tell us to know it. I say, protect yourselves from AI interfering with your authentic and honest expressions.” Read more here: variety.com/2025/film/news/n…
