Hello, happy Friday! I am looking to do some in-person "developer boot-up" workshops, and seek your suggestions for "modern tooling". The background of the participants range from motivated newbie ("I heard you can make your own app with AI!") to existing software developers who want to get up to speed on modern development for the purposes of building stuff, and getting jobs where AI tools are being used. For those who have been doing software development & "tech" lately using AI tools, and fee

Former DOGE members and Elon Musk allies are backing a startup aimed at using AI to apply "learnings" from DOGE to the private sector.

Hey guys. I saw a post on Instagram saying that tripo ai is holding a rendering challenge and the theme is “Out There”. This made me think about how AI-generated 3D models might change the rendering challenges. In a traditional rendering challenge most of the work focuses on modeling, resource creation, texture processing and scene setup. However with Tripo AI the process of generating 3D resources can become much faster. This made me think if the real challenges has shifted elsewhere. if everyone could generate models faster then what does the good rendering depend on? Art direction? Composition? Lighting? Camera position? storytelling? atmosphere? or clarity of idea communication? The rule of this challenge not only require to create objects with a beautiful appearance but also to create a scene that is larger, more profound, or more meaningful than what is actually before your eyes. I would really like to hear the opinions of those friends who are interested in AI-generated 3D. Do you think rendering challenge will be more dependent on technical ability or more focused on directionality and creativity? submitted by /u/babyb01 [link] [留言]

Microsoft’s AI products aren’t selling and Github’s been plagued with troubles. WIRED spoke with VP Scott Hanselman about whether the company is in catch-up mode.

"The whole conversation shifted from tokenmaxxing and 'go fast' to 'we need guardrails, how do we control this?'"
