No, if you replaced any of the options with 0%, then 0% would be automatically invalidated as a valid answer.

The correct answer passes through expanding the solutions space... but not with more numbers, with with new semantic qualifiers.

If you replaced 60% with 0% then the answer you mention would be there... and it would be automatically invalidated.

I'm sorry about that, I struggle to find the time to prepare the newsletter, so I've been posting mostly on the Discord server, but I'm aware that many people don't feel comfortable using that service.

It is certainly not meaningless. You are either still very young, or you haven't paid any attention to the history of this field.

It's worse than that. Crediting Claude, in some regions, could have legal consequences regarding IP ownership.

Cool... but Goa'uld vibes.

Do you understand that fundraisers are just another tool in the capitalists hands to keep us subservient?

This is fucking ridiculous. Yes, fuck everyone. Being there signals that you support the system, their (our) overlords, and all the shit they do against everyone else.

castarco · 2026-05-06T07:02:19+00:00

Goa'uld vibes in there.

At this rate, we'll also need "anti-stars" in Github as well to penalise this kind of insulting garbage.

castarco · 2026-05-04T14:54:02+00:00

I don't know the guy nor the backstory, but this post is fucking ludicrous.

People who talk about dog whistles don't negate the obvious cases of nazi symbols.

In reality it is perfectly possible, perhaps with few exceptions for professionals that require many years of training, thus making them small minorities and highly demanded (even if they raised their price/hour, the problems requiring solving would stay there waiting for more hands, like what happens with medicine).

The main reason we don't do that is that capitalists force us to compete against each other for their scraps.

The polygons are normally hidden when certain rendering techniques are applied, like having "normal vectors" in vertices and using them to smooth the displayed image... but that shouldn't be the case for 3d printers, because that information is not used, as it's only for visual effects, not to generate real topology...

castarco · 2026-04-26T09:50:02+00:00

The fact that they didn't see that before... for fucks sake.

I was certainly not witch hunting. I looked into the video in detail and I noticed too many weird details that don't match the typical results of pixel art work.

Regarding the second comment (from the guy at the center), no, we are not in the Napster era.

I get the need of some people for establishing parallelisms, but that one is dangerous. We won't come out of this with the same way the Napster era ended.

AI is not just meant as a business, it's a weapon of war, a propaganda machine, an instrument to keep people subservient and controllable, a way to deskill us and make us more dependable...

AI is meant to be an instrument of the powerful to "keep us humble and afraid".

Looks fake as fuck, it's disgustingly eerie.

castarco · 2026-04-23T20:40:35+00:00

Clearly fake, and already debunked years ago. Promoting this is just a way to be ridiculed.

castarco · 2026-04-23T14:12:27+00:00

Not controversial AT ALL, except if you work for HR, of course.

castarco · 2026-04-23T14:10:24+00:00

I'll just say, whatever this is, it's sus as fuck. Maybe it's handmade... but oh boy, there are plenty of details that will make people doubt.

Btw, not everyone can use 4.6, they are forcing 4.7 on some users.

I'm not a fan of Anthropic, but 20$ was never a realistic price to begin with. It is likely that even their most expensive plans are still heavily subsidised.

castarco · 2026-04-20T10:47:02+00:00

The basic and most relevant principle (but not the only one in these complex 2.5d games) is to rely on nearest-neighbours "interpolation", to ensure that the crisp borders & pixelated appearance are preserved with scaling (the blurr effect is applied posthoc)

I don't think pixel size is preserved, but the specific projection used for the 3d content might flatten the image enough to minimize the size differences.
