I tried making one, but I couldn't make through the camera position tracking bit, software was super unintuitive. Very interested in gaming applications for this tech, but still waiting for it to be more approachable from a layman's point of view.
One thing you can do with this that works quite well is use it to "decrop" (widen the viewing angle) of a video. This is very useful for stabilization which usually involves cropping. Here's an example: https://x.com/i/status/2051504427287404568
Once they get quicker to train, I expect this to be a popular use of them
Yeah, but no. Proton is the best thing that happened to Linux gaming, but sometimes it's still not good enough to get full Windows-like experience.
HDR still doesn't work properly, there are no codecs (Atmos, DTS:X) for my surround system, latest nvidia driver broke Microsoft Flight Sim and other games on wayland. The list goes on.
And as for Copilot - I'm sure I'll be able to rip it out, just like the other crap MS forcefully pushes on people.
Yeah I guess the card companies will adapt somehow as well (in fact there's a follow-up video on how to discourage this technique [1]), but there's still a huge market for "vintage" cards and packs that will be affected.
They ship a k8s operator that deploys Synapse, will try that later. Supposedly it's free up to 200 users. But it seems like there's 0 documentation past the README.
A reminder of how centralized and dependent the whole industry has become on GH, which is ironic, considering that git itself is designed to be decentralized.
Good opportunity to think about mirroring your repos somewhere else like Gitea or Gitlab.
Github is more than a remote host for git repositories. It's become one of the major CDNs for software distributions. Github Pages host a majority of static sites that developer use. You won't be able to use Cargo, Nix, Scoop and other package managers right now because their registries have a critical dependency hosted on Github.
This is not to mention all the projects that rely on Github for project management, devops, community and support desk.
GitHub is also very international, I doubt isolated netziens like those from China are shielded from this outage. I imagine very, very few software shops are unscathed by this. The whole affair is very on brand for 21st century software which is to say pitiful.
- Champion a hard to use VCS which to its credit is distributed
- Make everyone dependent on all the centralized features of your software to use Git[1][2]
- Now you have a de facto centralized, hard to use VCS with thousands of SO questions like “my code won’t commit to the GitHub”
- Every time you go down a hundreds-of-comments post is posted on HN
How to get bought for a ton of cash by a tech mega corporation.
[1] Of course an exaggeration. Everyone can use it in a distributed way or mirror. The problem occurs when you’re on a team and everyone else doesn’t know how to.
[2] I’m pretty sure that even the contributors to the Git project rely on the GitHub CI since they can’t run all tests locally.
We installed a private GitLab instance on our own servers exactly out of fear that Github might suddenly alter the deal or just cease operations. Pretty happy with our decision so far.
Actually both. Our internal closed source projects are only in our GitLab. The open-source stuff is both on GitHub and our GitLab. Since our GitLab instance isn't public we only use the issue tracker on GitHub for public stuff.
The key difference is being able to mirror communication channels. While you can continue to work fine with your local repo, the only way to share those changes are via another forge, or sending patches through some other channel. Having another forge to distribute code is generally more ideal.
The odds of all services rm -rf / at the same time are pretty small to be honest. The point is to have your work in multiple places, such that you're not reliant on a single service.
There are a few people on Hacker News I recognize, because they're often commenting on the same subjects: for example, pjmlp, lispm, kazinator, Rochus. Other people I recognize because they use their real names and they're famous: for example, steveklabnik and WalterBright. However, this is an asymmetrical relationship.
Edit: Hopefully this doesn't seem like I'm creepily stalking online strangers. I just notice their usernames a lot!
Yeah discord and slack are the only places I recognize people anymore.
Reddit is a hellhole. I lived on Lemmy for a while and its really just as bad.. maybe worse because you have to deal with the insufferable open source hardliners.
For actual information, hacker news, rss feeds, podcasts, and medium posts are the only things I can stomach anymore.
Because it wasn't the deal when they were consolidating the all online video content into themselves. And then once they've gotten "too big to fail", the greed rolled in.
They bait and switched us.
Youtube killed private video hosting.
Reddit killed small thematic php-bb forums.
If people knew that they'd eventually do that, none of these platforms would be as big as they are today.
