News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

mesh

I don't think it's about enforcing the rules (on Hacker News), as much about sharing information that others may not know.
In the US with an amateur radio license you can have one to one communication (transmit) but not one to many (broadcast).
Yes! Broadcasting is prohibited!

(and this all reminded I need to renew my license which I haven't used in about 8 years! Looks like I also need a refresher!)

This is a cool project, but fyi, in the US, this would require a license to broadcast (not receive), and I am pretty sure encryption, even with a license, is not legal (again, when broadcasting from US).

And then only on certain bands:

In general, they are included with CC.

What this misses is that Creative Cloud is much more than a bundle of apps. It includes everything you need around the apps for pro workflows (i.e. fonts, AI, stock, collaboration, etc...).

No, Lightroom is a dedicated photo editor and DAM.

Pixelmator is closer to Photoshop, you can do some photo editing, but its not focused on it, and does not have asset management.

Relevant read is Chomsky's and Herman's Manufacturing Consent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent

Basically, there has always been a strong bias and structural constraints toward US / elite views.

I think the core question is why trust has gotten particularly bad over the last decade (I have some ideas, including one side particularly trying to weaken trust in it).

Yes. I think Generative Remove is a perfect example of a use of ai that augments the user. It of course possible to remove items in the past, but now it is much quick / easier.

There are still gaps sometime with quality and control, but both of those are improving at a rapid pace.

Sorry for the delay on this and hope you see this.

MOGRT support will be in the uxp 1.0 release. I dont have a specific date to share with you, but around end of summer time frame (subject to change). Will probably be in the beta builds before that, so I would keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks.

Transcriptions are not planned to be in the 1.0 (we are focusing on parity with CEP initially).

Hope that helps...

Got it. You want to see some screenshots of the output? (I had been focusing on the process, but let me see if I still have some of the files created).
Yeah, I really like UXP in general, but to your point, it requires that the App expose the APIs. Premiere Pro support is just in beta, so its pretty basic right now.

For what its worth though, they have been open to the feedback and prioritizing requests for this use case when Ive shared with them.

If there anything that would be a specific unlock for you?

This is something that the teams within Adobe take really seriously. More info here:

For reference, here is Adobe's approach to generative ai:

Proof of concept project to create AI Agents for Adobe tools (Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere) by providing an interface to LLMs via the MCP protocol.

Video examples here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrZcuHfRluqt5JQiKzMWe...

It has been really interesting playing with this, seeing how well the agents can control the apps, and understand what they should do. Ive been particularly surprised by how "creative" the agents can be, both in solving how to accomplish tasks, but also in seemingly creative choices in what they do. Really excited (and scared) about this space.

Something can be subjective, without being a scam.

Are you suggesting they are deliberately misleading people, or are you saying grading is not consistent and is subjective based on circumstance around when the item is graded.

I dont think its good for anyone that the executive just says it won't enforce a law.

Just because you share an opinion does not mean that opinion has not been shaped, directed or influenced.

That has nothing to do with China.

I grew up going through a gifted program (in the 80s) and it was the gifted program that was the subculture i fell into that really pushed me.

Before that I was isolated and flunking out. Maybe I would eventually have found my people, but at least for me the gifted program found me, and got me on the right path at an early enough age to matter.

Btw, this was in a region where intellectual capability and success was not as celebrated as it is in the Bay area.

That should read "is NOW one of the top 5 used features in Photoshop".
You can have both!

Cool features that excite users (and that they ultimately end of using), and that get investors excited.

(i.e. Adobe mentioned in the day 1 keynote that Generative Fill, released last year and powered by Adobe Firefly is not one of the top 5 used features in Photoshop).

The features we make, and how we use gen ai is based on a lot of discussions and back and forth with the community (both public and private)

I guess Adobe could make features that look cool, but no one wants to use, but that doesn't seem to really make any sense.

The audience is creative community members who use Adobe tools and are attending max (around 11,000 for this event).
This is Adobe Max, which is a huge event held by Adobe for creators.

This session is "Sneaks" which is held every year, and has a fun, casual atmosphere. i.e. it has a theme, has a celebrity co-host, lots of jokes, food and drink served, etc...

Its basically a bunch of people who are creative, and are having fun nerding out on the tech...

Its a lot of fun.
