Love the portability of the #SteamDeck, but sometimes you just want a giant screen - #AppleVisionPro currently fills this gap.

Landslide! Thrilled to see Labor win. Normally don't mind the usual swings between Labor+Greens and Liberals+Nationals, the Liberal leader's recent dog whistling pushed me to vote Labor instead of my usual Greens.
Bonus: Lost his seat held by Liberals for 24 yrs!

Working on my skinning pipeline: GLTF → OpenXR+Vulkan → GLSL.
Left: Decent result with just palm and wrist.
Center: My actual hand with debug markers.
Right: Lovecraft would be proud!
Or perhaps I should just tag this 'Generative AI Skinning' and call it a day! 😅

Been tinkering w/ a privacy-focused chat app #ConfiChat . Handles local models via @ollama and online @OpenAI w/ local history encryption. Looking for beta testers but planning to open-source this w/e. Pls let me know if I should keep the "cutesy" branding. Not so sure about it

Always felt foreign language practice is a great use for #LLMs First attempt at fine-tuning Meta's llama3.1 (via @ollama ) to help with my now rusty German - lived in Germany for 5 years but have been away for as long. Great immersion substitute I think! (red: AI, yellow: me)

This got me curious if these models can generate doxygen comments, so I fed #ChatGPT and #ClaudeAI code from my OpenXR wrapper lib and url to the spec.
Claude came up with "ok" results but chatgpt seems unable to access the spec.
Not quite useable but seems getting there imo.

Been testing @ChatGPTapp & @AnthropicAI side-by-side for some of my more boring tasks. Here's an interesting one using a quick sparse prompt. #chatgpt4o provided an interesting name; #ClaudeAI is I guess an Apple fan 😆 Both hallucinated features but leaning on ChatGPT on this
