🕹️ Want to make a whole text adventure game with just a single paragraph of text and zero code? Try this to relive the excitement of last week’s #wwdc Keynote using ChatGPT to improvise everything. How cool is that?! Can you complete it in time? Give this prompt a try: #ChatGPT

I attended a lecture on computer vision at The Royal Society last week. It was a smart approach to building models similar to how a child learns by cross-referencing different media that requires less training data. See if you can spot me in the audience 😝youtu.be/WHgbp6dsk2M

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! I was working on a channel 4 website with @nickdunn and needed to test the Twitter feed import script or something #MyTwitterAnniversary

Your time-lapses look great, we have the same Prusa printer I think. This was the last thing I printed, it took forever!
I’ve been playing around with MapKit again
I forgot how exciting it is waiting for your own app to be reviewed!

I’ve been working on a Mac app as a side project... it’s a text calculator. Thoughts? Comments? Would you find a use for it? 🧐 Tempted to release as freeware or something

Also if you disable or block supports you should get bridging, where it will join two points floating in the air - which you have with your edges. I do this with my prints, here I’ve printed a battery compartment in the same orientation you have, I didn’t use any supports! ☺️

I want an Apple cheese grater 😎😎
So should I recycle my old Airport Express or sell it? It’s ancient. I don’t know if anyone would buy it! Model A1088
In Twitter years I’m a senior citizen. Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary
I’ve been designing a new icon for a side-project. Can you guess what the app does just from the icon?

So I expanded my SceneKit Earth model to include scale models of the moon and the sun but setting a camera on the equator and looking up at them they are pin pricks. What am I doing wrong?! 😫 Using a standard camera with a focal length of 50mm, FOV = 60°. Any ideas welcome
I’ve spent a couple of hours this afternoon making a spinning globe from NASA source images with clouds, tilt & shadows. It’s available as an Xcode playground if you want to have a play too 🔭 github.com/rwarrender/scenek…
Yay I win a game against myself! Ha I’m wondering if the red light when in check is too much? I’m pretty pleased with it so far though :)

Chess coding challenge progresses! I’ve got most of the game logic done apart from castling, etc. Oh and now there’s an iOS target with ARKit. It feels slick to pan across the board 😎

I’ve implemented the Chess move logic now. It was much harder than I thought it would be!

I’ve added sprinkles and lighting! Really enjoying blenderguru.com tutorials on YouTube by @andrewpprice. Now how to get into Xcode? 🤔
