Exciting things are happening in the world of gen AI, computer vision, and 3D! If you're interested in being part of the action, we're currently building out the new content understanding team and looking for early members to join us.

As part of this team, you'll be working on developing machine learning and computer vision systems at the scale of the world's largest, most active 3D platform, where tens of millions of people connect every day.

If you want to learn more about this opportunity (or if you know somebody who might be interested), please don't hesitate to reach out. We'd love to chat and see if you're a good fit for the team! Here is the JD - https://jobs.roblox.com/careers?gh_jid=4966703&gh_src=da92d0...

It's a small thing, but turning my screen to greyscale reduced my daily screen time by 25% and didn't impact any functionality. It just makes it slightly less interesting to use.

Once a month we pick a fun recipe that can be made in less than 1 hour and we all cook it together (over zoom) and then eat. We have done sushi, sourdough, ramen, pizza etc.

This works well as it feels like a shared experience of learning together, in this case learning to cook new foods. Many of us continue to make those same foods once we learned.

To make it easier on everybody, we ship any tools or ingredients we can and always do it during overlapping work hours.

I'd be interested to hear why. I have no problem with companies choosing not to open source in the first place, it is just the idea of taking an open source project with an active community around it and closing it up that is a tough pill to swallow.

But seriously that is strange

After I explained what HN is to my son he hacked into the db and started messing with time stamps

This is definitely true. Every time an explanation falls flat, I realize how I don't really understand the thing I am trying to explain...

His stack is basically: Brio, Lego, Crayola, and Hotwheels.

I've found that when there's something that I can SHOW him, some cause/effect, simple explanations stick. For example, how keystrokes make matching letters and numbers appear on screen, how we can find a picture of a truck and print it out, or a model of his BRIO railroad and make it on the 3D printer.

On the other hand, when the cause/effect is behind the scenes, not tangible, simple explanations end up leading him down a (funny) road of misunderstandings. I was trying to explain to him the idea of place values when reading numbers, which is surprisingly hard to explain short of memorizing numbers. He came up with some great questions, all of which indicated he was on a totally different page.

Localization really brings out the best aspects of AR (vs. VR or flat experiences). It shifts the tech from being a utility to a discovery platform.
