> If you want seniors, you must let the juniors write the code.

I have my doubts. One way to think about AI is another layer of abstraction on top of computer languages. Many good application developers never learn the layers one or two down the existing abstraction stack (assembly, etc.).



I like this one, from 1 year ago; a tall structure rendered in Blender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D50iRzBI3qc

Yeah I helped build a 3D parametric engine a few years back at my company. This kind of stacked game of life was one of the first script I added to test it, alongside the 3D terrain generation using Perlin noise.

I highly doubt I was the first one (and I mean that was 4 years ago so the one from 2018 definitely precedes it), however it had a bunch of extra features like colors associated with the initial states and the colors would also propagate and merge alongside the cells


That 3D printed one is amazing!

Interesting. Flash 1.5 was already a year old at that point.


I'm still clinging to gemini-2.0-flash which I think is free free for API use(?!).

Deprecated June 1st, which is a shame, it was the cheapest option and a great model

I was very influenced by Jakob Nielsen's books and writings at useit.com, but he's totally gone off the deep end since selling(?) NNgroup.

He is dearly in need of an editor. There's probably some useful insight in there somewhere, but his writing is way too long and absolutely full of every type of AI generated media (even including cringe music videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WDK-YYbLYg).

It's sad to see.



I remember kkrieger being impressively small but also requiring insane compute :) it would render at like 0.1 fps on my poor machine. (Aligns with this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14415567)

Ars is not journalism. It's scraped content to put between ads.

I disagree strongly. I've found that they have more journalistic integrity than most mainstream news pages. Did you see the extremely strong post from the senior editor after this AI hallucination was discovered in a published story? And then the reporter was dismissed.
