A preview of the latest updates to taken that make it look even prettier and a tad more photorealistic, done tons of performance upgrades so it loads faster and runs smoother also.
The mountains now look much more realistic with better looking gullies to capture shadows, etc... and pointier peaks, did a lot of tweaking with the water also to make it match the scene.
This runs in the browser built with @threejs

I decided to port taken-game.com/play to @UnrealEngine and using Opus 5.5 i've literally got most of it done in a day, visually speaking.
Lots more to do now it's in UE5

With AI writing most API I suspect that neither of these are done much anymore
they both suck imo Good REST api should throw 404 and just have the error like the response in 1 but...
1 sucks because it's throwing 200 OK for a 404
2 sucks because duplicated and superfluous info despite 404 correct https response
The correct answer is
http 404
{
"error": "User not found"
}
Consumers don't need your arbitrary code, if you have a specific code sure use it, otherwise, a missing user needs not a code, 404 /user/{uuid} is more than enough info.
Users don't need status in the response if you use https response codes correctly, they can just run response()->getStatusCode()
Users definitely don't need the path they're the ones who called you?! they know the path... The only time something like this is remotely acceptable is if an api is returning page_numbers even then I prefer just a page_no field
So imo, 2 really pisses me off despite being more correct.

I can’t believe we live in a world where saying “don’t blow children to pieces” is somehow considered controversial.
Fuck you! @edsheeran

Still needs a lot of work and polish but this is what my launching system with rocketry is looking like inside 3dsolarsystem.online getting closer and closer to the experience I am trying to build.

So people just have no survival instinct or something? They want a ban on development of superintelligence, not AI in general, we should the world over be taking the threat of super intelligence more seriously...
Kind of insane and ridiculous the kinds of comments in this thread...
I'm all for the UK and Europe doing more around AI, but very few are bothering with dealing with potential consequences from better and better AI in terms of dealing with misinformation, scams, the effect to the economy, the fact that many white collar jobs will and are being affected by the influx of AI.
Look like AI all you like, I do too, but we can't bury our heads in the sand when it comes to common sense issues related to it...
This is so absurdly stupid. 40 "Member of Parliament", elected member of the British House of Commons, demand a ban on superintelligence.
How is it possible that the politicians of a continent that achieves nothing in AI and is completely lagging behind are the ones making the strongest demands for a ban and regulation of AI?
Just absurd.

Everybody keeps posting somewhat impressive demos of Astra using @threejs but literally when you can do this with Opus 5, it doesn't seem all that impressive to me...
Wanted to see how far with a good foundation you could take models like Opus 5, especially seeing all the Astra demos recently, and I decided I wanted a Kerbal Space Program type addition to my 3dsolarsystem.online as an additional playable element, the results look pretty good for a second draft....
Definitely blows a lot of these Astra demos out of the water imo... next step is iron out the bugs but it's working pretty well save for some visual bugs that are easily fixed.

wait what
Using Claude in Chrome product. Prompt:
replicate this image (my profile picture) in jspaint, use brushes to replicate it as closely as possible. I want you to use brushes and clicking. Do not use javascript tool, but the final result has to be very close to this image. DO NOT CHEAT
1. I specified the do not use javascript tool because otherwise it uses javascript and it is faster but it seems like people cared more about clicking :D
2. The task took 45 minutes, but I don't think it's that much slower than competitors 😄
3. Prompt is important. (See thread)

what is @HMRCgovuk doing to placate tax payers with foreign sounding names from these crimes happening again?
Thomas Webster, while working at HMRC admitted he deliberately gave non white callers “bad information” to sabotage them
He was far right activist and was filmed saying this by a BBC undercover reporter, sacked by HMRC then jailed for 2 years after pleading guilty to stirring up racial hatred online
Imagine the harm that misinformation could have caused to people who trusted him for help😳
