@tvaziri.com Hello, I require your expert opinion to settle an argument.
Was the reflection of the chess board in Judd Hirsch's glasses in the Independence Day chess scene practical or was it CG?

Nice, thanks for writing this up.
fwiw, for 3D, SceneKit was superseded by RealityKit in 2019.

Hey everybody, I've made an important discovery.
AIs are fundamentally unable to reason about how to mix Objective-C and Swift code within a Swift package.
I'm still working out the details, but on the day of the machine uprising, I believe we'll be able to exploit this weakness and defeat them.

Fun fact: In this photo, the soil density probe is measuring the density of the ejected lens cap, which unfortunately happened to land in the exact position that the probe was designed to sample.

The strategically placed picket fence probably helps mask the marionette lines, just like the vertical black streaks on the metal bars in the Willy Wonks bubble scene.

I asked Claude and Gemini to make rough estimates of the amount of disk space currently being wasted to store unused Xcode Simulator components throughout the world and they both guessed around 2 exabytes, or 2 million terabytes.

When you install Xcode, it should warn you about how much disk space it's already using and provide guidance about how to address the issue.
Xcode was using 352 GB of my disk for unused simulator components and I didn't realize it.
You might want to check this too.
