I actually just got into the beta for the GPT-3 API but I think OpenAI's TOS say that I'm only allowed to use the API for the purpose I mentioned in my beta application (writing computer assisted sasquatch erotica). So HN comments would violate their TOS, not to mention the other ethical quandaries.

The poster above had a question about the relationship between distance traveled and elapsed time. There's a simple mathematical relationship between the two- when your rate is fixed they're directly proportional. A distance that is 2x as far will take twice as long to traverse.

But how is that related with vanishing points?

EDIT: To give a bit more context, in 3D geometry, isometric (and other orthographic projections) are just projections which do not apply a perspective divide. No time component anywhere.

Normal 3D perspective has a vanishing point, objects appear farther and farther in the Z axis. Distance is directly related to time in our heads. Isometric perspective eliminates that notion, objects at the back are the same size (and as “reachable”) as the ones in front.
