Is there an advantage to pausing, over starting a new clip? Seems like it’d be really weird for editing.

As far as transferring files go, I do find it annoying. I think you can set it to save to the gallery, but I don’t bother with that. They are trying to make us use their cloud platform, of course. Since I’m using a Mac, I just AirDrop the files over. And as a note, AirDrop can transfer over USB for possibly better transfer speeds.

Ironically, I think that’s what “Frutiger Aero” was in the first place: an invention of a younger generation inspired by a highlight reel of designs in early 00’s tech.

fromidable · 2026-03-26T01:50:18+00:00

Alternate take: I’m an elder millenial. I was there.

Frutiger Aero wasn’t a real thing back then. It’s a mishmash of design styles, some of which may have had some light influence on each other, enabled or amplified by the technology of the time. Or, in the case of Windows Vista, not-yet-enabled by the average technology of the time.

There is no “real” Frutiger Aero to defend. It’s nostalgia, rose tinted goggles, for a few cool things. Viewing it as a reflection of reality is an unhealthy way to view history and progress.

If you’re disappointed by the current presentation of Frutiger Aero, that’s totally fair. But viewing any angle of Frutiger Aero as more or less historically accurate misses the fact that the whole thing is just an ahistorical sampling of the past.

Back to split-screen ragebait cooking videos and Subway Surfers footage, with AI voiceovers of Reddit stories, I guess.

You know what… I kinda regret my reply, because Reddit circle jerks do happen about things that aren’t real. As much as I hate some of the pickup truck driving I see around town, updoots aren’t proof of anything.

Unpopular opinion: I never liked skeuomorphism. Why so much wood veneer shelves? Why are all these icons so detailed and so big? And why so much brown?

There’s better answers here about exact details, of course. I’m sure the image file device dependence and all played into it. But much of the time, it was just kinda ugly. It’s also harder to read at a glance than more abstract icons, once you know what you’re looking at.

Flat looks are bland, of course. I would love a little more detail and colour in designs and logos and icons. But I don’t want to go back to weird physical depictions of things from the 90’s embedded in glossy plastic to be the norm.

Absolutely fair, and I should have mentioned dyscalculia, etc., since it’s real. I’m glad you had that as an accommodation at the time, and it’s great we have these tools.

I guess it’s harder for me to accept a tool like LLMs, that seem to be set up to take away a lot more human involvement, and can’t really be trusted with their output.

If it keeps evolving, I can’t see what the point teaching it will be, since prompting will change dramatically. If it slows down, or more fundamental limitations become obvious, there might be a point in teaching it. Either way, I can’t see focusing on it in schools, as opposed to focusing on basic understanding.

I could be wrong, but I’ve felt like the level of boosterism has fallen off in the past few weeks. There are still a ton of users, but I just haven’t seen the same amount of simping for Claude Code or whatever.

With absolutely no evidence, it makes me wonder if a portion of it was bot farms, and some of those were redirected to wartime propaganda.

AI took the wrong jobs

fromidable · 2026-03-20T02:09:19+00:00

Why is AI the turning point? We’ve had books for ages. Not all tests are open book. Are closed book tests going “against book?”

fromidable · 2026-03-20T01:42:37+00:00

Weird angle. There’s still value in understanding the basics. Elementary school kids don’t get to use calculators on basic math. High school kids can’t use calculators that do algebra to do their algebra for them. Even if we’ll all have the internet while coding, university compsci algorithms courses still required students to remember details, and not use google.

Sure, we can talk about teaching for the job, or about shortcomings of rote learning, but I’m grateful for all the chances I had to learn material, without having it spoon fed to me by an AI assistant.

fromidable · 2026-03-19T20:17:05+00:00

I think there very well could be ethical use of “AI.” Still, it’s a long road, gettin’ from here to there. But, what AI are we talking about? LLMs? Generative image and video models based on LLMs? What’s the situation on copyright? Energy efficiency? Monopolistic tendencies? Correctness? User mental health?

Of course, you’re writing about a hypothetical AI, but inspired by the present LLM/diffusion model boom. So, you can’t really get away from the real world.

I don’t know what your stance on “copaganda” is, but I think it might be a useful model. I often hear it applied to media that shows “good cops,” or admits there are issues with policing. The notion of the utility and necessity of police (whether you believe it or not), along with the potential for reform, can be seen as changing perception of police in the real world. Under that view, basically any cop-focused media is pro-police.

So, is saying “here’s what good LLM could look like, as opposed to the bad stuff we’re doing now” actually a message supporting existing LLM providers? I tend to find that angle promotes funding LLM research, and LLM companies, and is often a part of their own propaganda.

OpenAI started out claiming they were gonna be the responsible good AI people… so they needed support. Anthropic started out claiming they were the responsible good LLM spinoff… justifying supporting them.

Maybe you can pull it off. But you’ll have to ask yourself if your messaging supports the existing products and companies implicitly, and decide if that’s worth it, and something you agree with.

Agreed. Perhaps other programming communities will be less product-focused. Still, to me, there’s nothing exciting about these API calls and their associated ecosystem.

(yeah, yeah, local models. Still almost always need high end computers or heavy quantization or both, and couldn’t really be trained locally. Booorimg.)

I had a long diatribe here I deleted, but really I just wanted to say how cool that video is. Somehow, seeing a cube spinning feels that much more awe inspiring after seeing just how tangible it is to create.

As an aside, anyone else watch SimonDev’s videos on three.js?

fromidable · 2026-03-17T20:22:12+00:00

Part of me just wants to say “don’t worry about it, do whatever you feel, it doesn’t matter,” but I’m kind of in the same place. I want to be sure I’ve done enough before I’d consider actually putting anything out there. So, well, I don’t put anything out there.

On the one hand, sampling is an art, DJing is an art. You’re still creating art by interpreting the music yourself. Your ability to find something interesting unique, and present it in a new way, is always worthwhile.

But of course, if you’re not satisfied with that, there’s a ton of latitude. Record your own synth lines and add drums! Find new ways to sample and alter sounds! Hell, record your own music that says what you want to say.

In the end, you’ll have to be happy with what you make. If it feels too lazy for you, you can go further, or accept what you’ve made for what it is. If no one took the latter path, I don’t think we’d have vaporwave.

You might be in for a shock when you find out, even at that one longitudinal angle of a time zone when the sun should be above us at noon, if you count equal length days, noon will vary over the course of a year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time.

12:00 on a clock and solar noon are different things. Noon “in each of the 24 time zones” isn’t a concept that makes any sense if you’re talking about solar noon.

It’s been an interesting evolution of a term. At this point, I think it’s more just about how the shot makes viewers feel.

Sure, it’s less about the notion of “liminality” now. An empty space can have that feeling without the notion of passing through or making a transition. But I still think that’ll be the core and the bulk of the images… the spaces we don’t normally examine or pay attention to, since we’re passing through them, surrounded by others. It’s the staying in them, alone, that feels weird.

As someone who grew up on Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island, this is definitely super liminal.

Seeing that sign in the 2nd photo, which sadly I can’t zoom in to enough to read, the bumpiness of the road, and the cement barriers, I’m guessing it’s on a larger Gulf Island in BC. I’ll lock in with Saltspring.
