I am convinced as well this will eventually be how we render games and simulations.

Maybe just as kind of a DLSS on steroids where the engine only renders very simple objects and a world model translates these to the actual graphics.

Oh I heard about that one, but didn't realize it is part of that "big beautiful tax bill"? Kind of crazy.

So is this like free-for-all now for anything AI related? Can I can participate by making my own LLM with pirated stuff now? Or are only the big guys allowed to break the law? Asking for a friend.

A blender addon for uncluttering the viewport: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k91LbFFcMVY

It is a smaller part of a whole collection of addons I've been working on meant for helping with animating character assets from Daz Studio in Blender and then bringing the animation back into Daz Studio.

Eventually I want to have a zero effort way to get characters from Daz Studio into Unreal or Godot with FACS morphs, JCMs, etc. already setup.

Sure, that sounds interesting, and I guess just asking is not going to hurt anyone. Since I am from northern Germany southern UK should not be completely impossible to reach.

Would you mind sharing some contact information for these companies looking for C developers? I have been working as a contractor myself and while I currently seem to have no problem finding projects involving javascript, companies actively looking for C developers seem to be little shy in my area.

I suspect you are from the US, and I am from Europe, so this might be a problem. But still, if you are willing to write me an email, my address can be found through my github account that is linked in my profile.

German Keyboard. Yes, there is an AltGr key on my keyboard but I map that one to Control actually...

In fact I swap my Alt and Control keys, and don't use AltGr for its original intent at all, because using AltGr+7/8/9/0 on the German keyboard to type {[]} is horrible. I use an english layout (which I modified with my AltGr+j/k/l/i thing and a bunch of other tweaks) instead.

Instead of mapping to Escape (or Control) I prefer mapping Caps Lock to ISO Level3 Shift, also known as AltGr. That way I get a whole new type of modifier that I can use to assign custom functionality to.

For example I map AltGr+j/k/l/i to the arrow keys so that I can navigate code without taking my fingers of the home row, regardless of the editor I am in. I also have AltGr+h mapped to Backspace, AltGr+m is delete, AltGr+u/o are home/end and so on and so forth. It opens up lots of possibilties.

AutoHotKey was already mentioned, which I use on windows. I have been looking for an alternative that I can also use on Linux and Mac OS and found SikuliX (http://www.sikulix.com/). Note that I have no idea if either AutoHotKey or SikuliX are actually capable of replicating the functionality of Keyboard Maestro since I've never used Keyboard Maestro.

Also recently I found a cross platform automation system written in go that looks promising: robotgo (https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo). I might try to use robotgo to replace the AutoHotKey scripts in my own little Unity3D command line tool unity_do (https://github.com/rakete/unity_do) in the future. So I don't have any experience with it yet.

Seems weird to me to include snapchat in a list together with antibiotics and cars. And I think it kind of demonstrates your own point.

You did not name any specific antibiotic products, or car manufacturers, because those are not really that significant.

The underlying inventions though are the real technological leaps forward that, as you say, are like air: so common that we overlook them all the time.

Snapchat is just a product, I think the real invention that you overlooked is the internet.

I am a developer with almost 10 years experience creating and maintaining software on Linux solving all kinds of problems related to automating and operating distributed systems. Additionally I have a computer science degree from University of Bielefeld where I specialized in computer vision and machine learning.

Thanks! I really appreciate that. Now I can add it as a submodule in my emacs.d git, and if I ever happen to use it in something I make public I can point people to your repo.

I hope it does not disrupt your workflow too much to have this in a seperate repo.

I like it, but the fact that the .el is distributed via a git with a whole bunch of other crap in it makes it somewhat inconvenient to add this as an external dependency to my emacs stuff.
