Huge fan of Corridor. For those that don't have twenty minutes, one of the big takeaways is that a pretty high level VFX Supervisor critiques the keys at the end and basically has only nits that you need to zoom in on or have a trained eye to catch. Very legitimate feedback for a top tier professional context, but this can get you really far otherwise.
It doesn't output the final result that you'd expect from a human professional, but it does seem to be well into the professional level of tools. And for cheaper productions you could use it directly.
Not ready for strait output on a special effects driven big budget show who are more then happy to pay someone to sit there for days rotoscoping. These are not the only professionals wanting to use special effects. Would anyone complain if MrBeast's video got the blend of the texture of his cloaths a bit rough?
I mean, having done quite a bit of rotoscoping work in high school, if you can start from the output of this plugin and refine a little, you’re absolutely still saving hours. It was still most of the way there.

I hate that it is because it makes me suspicious of every reaction. I happened to see the CD video on the clown wedding on the moon(sodium vapor maybe?) and so I at least have some grounding from this, but if I didn't I'd probably ignore most of this (as i ignored the thumbnail) because "literal industry defining tech" and "random temu mall ninja crap" has basically the same production pattern these days so why trust it?
I realize this is "old man yells at cloud" territory but it sucks that prostrating to the algorithm means all sincerity is lost because you have to ape Mr. Beast or whoever to get "engagement"
Edit-
And with that said, I'd say just jump to 23:40ish when the professional is talking if you're grumpy like me.
fortunately, if you're feeling grumpy, you can use one of their biggest sponsors to talk to a highly professional personal therapist with the ease of installing an app which is definitely not preying on people with mental health issues /s
Migrating off GitHub Actions is a non-trivial engineering effort. I know we've been talking for six months about "reducing our dependence" on GHA but it hasn't become a priority yet
The annoyedAtGitHub counter is so far monotonically increasing though.
It's like an internship that people do when they are thinking about becoming teachers. Usually it is a university student who is just finishing up their coursework on teaching, and they spend ~8 weeks or so working under an existing, credentialed classroom teacher in a public school. It lets them practice working with real students under more experienced supervision.
They are not paid for it, and it's a required part of their training.
Story aside, I'm most concerned with how closing a laptop "deleted" the lesson plan! It's hard to imagine how that could occur, and I've worked with a lot of people who aren't very technical.
Most likely a SaaS app that auto-saves, but didn’t save properly. Then closing the laptop caused a network disconnect, and the in-browser app did not recover gracefully while awaiting reconnect on wake-up and lost all unsaved data.
This would have been unbelievable to me before this year. Then I used PowerPoint via the browser and found this level of data loss is a regular occurrence.
Edu saas is some of the worst crap I've ever had to deal with. It's one of those unfortunate cases of procurement not involving anyone who actually has to use it.
I could absolutely see a combo of a super short session timeout when the browser tab isn't active anymore combined with not actually saving drafts anywhere except in that session that gets deleted with prejudice.
I just spent an hour this morning talking with a friend who had an important saved draft email disappear after closing her laptop. Software is shit these days.
I've had cases where I'm writing some long text in certain apps on my phone, screen goes off, and when I turn it back on that text is gone. Could be something similar, though I can't imagine any desktop app being that crappy.
This is very different from Beeper or BlueBubbles.
Tether is "merely" talking to your iPhone over bluetooth and the local network. It does nothing if you don't already have an iPhone. Apple should have no more reason to come after this than it does a Garmin watch that can show your iMessages via bluetooth.
Not surprising that Cursor is better at charging money for something that isn't an ad.
