Not sure what the "this" is that you think zoning didn't "solve" exactly. Where I live (Melbourne, Australia), I think zoning does work pretty effectively. Industry builds in industrial zones, houses and apartments get built in residential zones. Fortunately (I think) the government is generally on the side of increasing the density and changing the rules to make it possible, so we don't have a San Francisco type situation where no one can build anything because the residental lobbies are so powerful.

The pain points for us are to do with attempting to increase the density of the city, which means building apartment buildings where there used to be just single story houses with backyards - something those residents don't like. Or the complexities of big projects like new train lines, that impact an awful lot of stuff around them.

But in general, a lot of stuff is getting built, it's just expensive.

The strangest thing axout your post is the lack of curiosity about whether or not bread is, in fact, bad for ducks.

Why would I, I wasn't feeding them. Besides it's illegal to chum on trout lakes.

Because surely it changes how you feel if the bread was disabling ducks, rather than just innocently feeding them with no downsides.

It probably also is. But easier to enforce at the time of capture.

Or easier to forbid Meta classes to send all the data into their servers.

Making them completely non functional? Even in private homes?

We can hope

Not necessarily in real time though

I have a friend who has worked in aerodynamics at several of the F1 teams. The parts themselves are pretty high tech, but all of the management of the data, the processes, the software to produce them etc is pretty shoddy.

On mobile it doesn't seem to be possible to decrease power?

It's possible but it took me a while to find the butten as well. It's to the left of the "increase power" button, with quite a low opacity.

I think it might be better to use the empty areas in the corners for the controls.

I get that there are people who are into this stuff, but honestly, I can't think of a single use for myself, unless the movie watching experience is really, really good.

I'm never going to wear a thing like this in public, and at home, I have my laptop and TV. The TV I'm usually watching with someone else, and this is worse than the laptop...so what's my use case?

IMHO it should be long hold. Click to jump by a page towards the click location. Hold down to jump all the way there.

"Long press" is the same as "slow press". When I click I want something to happen immediately, not 500ms later.

Yep, something happens immediately. Something different happens later.

How does this work? I couldn't find an about page?

As avaer already mentioned it seems to be a thin wrapper around H3 Max Director, which generates real-time video and takes “natural language directions” that are then relatively seamlessly incorporated into the continuous video stream.

It's like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure dialed up to 11.

I played around with it briefly on Fal.ai generating a cartoon, but it’s more of a technical curiosity for the time being since I don’t have a Scrooge McDuck vault of gold coins.

The models used are mentioned on the page; primarily it's H3 Max Director, Jev, and an agent to manage context and send updates to Director.

Yes, I don't want to know what the tools are. What...is it? What's the goal? How is one meant to interact with it?

It's not on the page, but the creator (@WillTheRapper_) said on Twitter:

> This is our first experiment in building a persistent Social World Engine — a world that continues to exist, evolve, and remember even when nobody is watching.

The audience is meant to direct the show. There's a crypto token involved in paying for it. Make of that what you will.

Personally I think it's an invitation to a lawsuit. Back in the day people were running AI Spongebob on Twitch and that got killed for copyright infringement. And this isn't a cartoon, it's Jim Carrey.

FWIW it doesn't look anything like Jim Carrey at the moment.

It is vibecoded slop, not sure why people are taking this seriously here

Some people are looking at what it is, rather than how it was made.

There's nothing AI about that sentence.

You are oblivious to AI smells then. This is a very common AI writing pattern.

AI didn’t invent the em dash nor “It’s not just X, it’s Y” and sometimes those are appropriate for the situation. Prose should be judged accordingly.

Using both at the same time, tho? Eh.

LLM didn't invent it themselves, they are plagiarism machines. Obviously these kind of patterns had to be popular in the first place to be overused by LLMs

Also we have reached the point where LLMs are pubkishing more contents than humans so we have probably reached a point where humans will inconciously start copying and using LLMs style too.

c'mon, it's literally the top 2 AI writing tropes in a single sentence. i googled "AI tropes", and here are the first 2 tropes listed in the first search result:

1) negative parallelism: "It's not bold. It's backwards."

2) em-dash addiction: "The problem -- and this is the part nobody talks about -- is systemic."

again, i'm not saying the author wrote this sentence using AI. i was just tickled by how stereotypically AI it sounded. for better or for worse, those characteristics are just going to set off the AI detector in people's heads now, as evidenced by the fact that there are like 10 separate comments on this post that picked up on the exact same thing.

It's the stereotypical example of AI in my experience. I.e it's not this it's that.

It's a super common writing and speech pattern.
