Very cool, thanks for sharing! I’m a huge fan of this Super-Scaler inspired style, and had never heard about this!



Ah. What a refreshingly hopeful story from the German car industry after the whole VW and EV subsidies disasters.


What do you think this is? Mercedes got subsidies to build it so they did. It will always be uneconomical to run, but makes German Greens feel good.


> What about acknowledging the effects of improper land management (forestry, rivers, etc)?

Those are indeed a factor, and European nations as well as the EU have started programs to counter those 20th century artefacts (see "Renaturation"). But the amount of rainfall itself (measured) was extremely high, by any standard. The mediterranean sea was between 2 and 4 deg C warmer than usual, causing increased evaporation and in turn increased precipitation across Europe. (This has been widely reported)


Genuine question: what’s cheaper?


Hey! Cool app! I’ve been seeing this feature (transcript based video editing) more and more, and it’s really interesting! But I wonder: is the intention for the edited result to sound natural? To me, even just removing short clauses, adjectives or interjections, it always sounds heavily edited and unnatural. Could some form of GenAI approach be used here to "smooth over" the cut sections? Or maybe even a gentle, very short cross-fade?


Somewhat related to this idea is AssemblyScript https://www.assemblyscript.org


Yea I came here to say this, actually I was able to transpile a few typescript files from my project into assembly using GPT just for fun and it actually worked pretty well. If someone simply implements a strict typescript-like linter that is a subset of javascript and typescript that transpiles into assemblyscript, I think that would work better for AOT because then you can have more critical portions of the application in AOT and other parts that are non-critical in JIT and you get best of both worlds or something like that. making js backwards compatible and AOT sounds way too complicated.

Comments moved thither. Thanks!


Yeah I agree that generic UI elements should not be protected by IP law. What‘s baffling to me is that the design that Figma AI produced is so clearly derivative in layout and graphical style choices. There absolutely is more than one good way to design a weather app. The thought that many companies might soon use Figma AI as their starting points for their designs is kind of depressing to me, seeing as there is already so little originality present in current UI/Visual design anyways. Things might get a lot more generic and uninspired quickly.
