AMA – "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within", milestone in CGI, is 25 years old 4 by kaveh808 | 2 comments on Hacker News. It might be fun to reflect on the creation of [0] 25 years ago. The project was the first attempt at producing and entire feature film with "photorealistic" human characters using CG. I was R&D lead on the project, and it has been fun to see how the technology has evolved over the years. Happy to do my best to answer any questions people may have. [0] https://ift.tt/F1htg2q

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Is Wikipedia going to be obsolete soon?

Ask HN: Is Wikipedia going to be obsolete soon? 2 by piratesAndSons | 2 comments on Hacker News. Recently they began showing a download-our-app ad at the top of the site, and it made me wonder: is the website going away soon? Wikipedia was a fixture of the Web 2.0 era, but now websites are changing. Chatbots are taking massive traffic from websites. Young people don’t like reading text; they prefer watching videos and listening to podcasts. Websites are seen as the old way of doing things, which is why Wikipedia has begun building its own app, since Gen Z is trending this way.
