Ha, that's my exact comment from the related reddit thread. Kinda cool, I wonder how often that happens?

Spammers, presumably trying to build up karma on HN. Needless to say we've banned them and will continue to.

And that indeed is what we have to look forward to in online forums over the next 5+ years, as machine learning cuts its teeth on places like reddit, HN & disqus, and spammers try to find new irritating ways of getting eyeballs.

  Yeah, but I still wonder how often people copy comments around like that. It's not like that was some great writing or anything, but it was copied word for word.
  Maybe it was some bot, but that's an odd bot.

Do you know if there is a video for these slides?

Complete with creative tensions:

> • I wanted a hand-held TV camera - they wanted a sts04 like smooth lovely cameras

> • I wanted a realistic scenery - they wanted more action in the scene..

And exploiting impressionism as a compression technique:

> The idea is NOT to render perfect snow, but to draw something that evoques snow, and let the viewer’s brain to trick the viewer.
