🫯 A conflicting physical ontology ! One of the... strangest properties in particle physics is the spin. The term spin is a historical misnomer. Electrons (𝑒⁻) do not physically rotate like a spinning top or a globe. Spin is a fundamental quantum property known as intrinsic angular momentum which exists as an inherent characteristic of the particle, much like its mass or electric charge. In quantum mechanics, electrons are treated as fundamental point-like particles with zero size, making the concept of physical 3D rotation nonsensical. A rotating electrical charge creates a magnetic field. An electron naturally possesses its own detectable magnetic field. Even though the electron isn't physically spinning, it acts exactly as if it were because of that. Moreover the spin of an 𝑒⁻ has orientation. As 𝑒⁻ carry a negative electric charge, their inherent spin turns them into tiny bar magnets. Two possible orientations exist in the natural state of the 𝑒⁻, spin up and spin down. When measured along a specific direction (called the z-axis) the 𝑒⁻ can only display one of the two orientation state, up or down. But the strangeness goes a bit further; when an 𝑒⁻ is misplaced or removed from its own orbit, it takes two full circles (720°) to return to its original quantum state. The spin isn’t motion, it’s an undeniable static, resilient force of this elementary particle, listed as one the fundamental constant of nature. 🔗show more

While we were sitting around at Thanksgiving with our... families, there was a family that was enduring what may be their most painful Thanksgiving that will carry over to each year when this time comes around. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, was shot and critically injured in Washington D.C. November 26, 2025, the day before Thanksgiving. On November 27, 2025, Sarah Beckstrom succumbed to her injuries and as her father said "has passed on to glory". Every Thanksgiving that we have from here on out, we should not only remember what we are thankful for but also the sacrifice that Sarah Beckstrom made. Gone but not forgotten! Rest in Peace. 🪦show more

If you think OpenAI Sora is a creative toy... like DALLE, ... think again. Sora is a data-driven physics engine. It is a simulation of many worlds, real or fantastical. The simulator learns intricate rendering, "intuitive" physics, long-horizon reasoning, and semantic grounding, all by some denoising and gradient maths. I won't be surprised if Sora is trained on lots of synthetic data using Unreal Engine 5. It has to be! Let's breakdown the following video. Prompt: "Photorealistic closeup video of two pirate ships battling each other as they sail inside a cup of coffee." - The simulator instantiates two exquisite 3D assets: pirate ships with different decorations. Sora has to solve text-to-3D implicitly in its latent space. - The 3D objects are consistently animated as they sail and avoid each other's paths. - Fluid dynamics of the coffee, even the foams that form around the ships. Fluid simulation is an entire sub-field of computer graphics, which traditionally requires very complex algorithms and equations. - Photorealism, almost like rendering with raytracing. - The simulator takes into account the small size of the cup compared to oceans, and applies tilt-shift photography to give a "minuscule" vibe. - The semantics of the scene does not exist in the real world, but the engine still implements the correct physical rules that we expect. Next up: add more modalities and conditioning, then we have a full data-driven UE that will replace all the hand-engineered graphics pipelines.show more

After 50 hours, God of war Sons of Sparta... Platinum 100% is done! Full thoughts: - The game gets better and better the more you play - Boss fights where awesome - Fun to see Kratos as a kid but also wish you could play sections in 2D as the adult - OST is incredible - From a Metroivania point of view it's decent, it's not the best but also not the worst - From a god of war perspectively it's definitely better, it has a lot of old school stuff - Side stuff where ok, mostly not needed - I really like the art style, playstation definitely needs more different art styles Basically there are 2 sides here, if you're a god of war fan then obviously this is a must play since it adds to the lore, story and pure fun. So that way worth asking price However if you're a Metroivania super fan or casual GOW fan then better to wait for a sale if you want to play it. Either way, it's a fun game and Sony needs imo more of these "smaller" scale games.show more

**Traditional Engine Order Telegraphs:** The bridge unit and the... engine-room unit are connected by two chains (or wire cables) that run through conduits over sprockets, forming a continuous loop. When the bridge officer moves the handle, it turns a sprocket that pulls the chain, which in turn turns the corresponding sprocket and pointer in the engine room. This classic system does not require electricity; it relies on a direct physical linkage, ensuring that both dials always mirror each other. Here’s a typical sequence of operations: The bridge officer grabs the handle and swings it to the command position, for example, "Half Ahead." This movement not only moves the engine-room pointer but also rings a bell or gong to alert the engineers. The engineers then adjust their own handle to match the position indicated by the bridge officer; this movement serves as an acknowledgment and rings the bell back on the bridge, confirming that the order has been received and understood. Only after this acknowledgment do the engineers work the throttle and reversing gear to carry out the order. It is common practice to first execute a full sweep of the handle, moving it all the way to one extreme and back before settling on the actual command position. This exaggerated motion serves two purposes: it rings the gong loudly and unmistakably, ensuring everyone is aware that a new order is coming, and it checks that the mechanism and chains are not stuck or slack. On some ships, this full sweep also signifies an important or urgent change (such as switching from ahead to astern), emphasizing to the crew that they need to pay attention because the situation is critical. After completing this sweep, the handle is adjusted to the desired position. This telegraph is from the Steamship Shieldhall (video credit as well). Go check her out onshow more

LinkedIn wrapped is here! And it's made with Rive... Stoked to be invited by BUCK to join the project. I wasn’t actually animating the thing though I had more of a technical assignment and we had quite a few things to solve. There is 9 chapters total (but not everyone sees all the chapters or even all the slides in given chapter) in 3 languages, the data being sent to Rive is raw so we had to cover for many variables: - A progress bar aware what chapters are included for given user - A progress bar checking what slides are included for and logging their duration time to progress bar - A custom slider solution (the default Rive slider is not enough if you turn contents on and off) - A State Machine logic aware of chapters or slides skipped from playback - A custom slider behavior for when there is auto-slide (instant) and tap-slide (slide animation) - A custom text-length tracker for to dynamically change font-size for long strings - A custom screen ratio tracker to scale down the UI for small screens - Handling dynamically handle big numbers (10,000 becomes 10k etc.) - Handling translations (3 languages) - Super complex behaviour for when if some data-point is missing we don’t leave a blank space, but it is being replaced with other data point instead (so some user se A-B-C, but some will see only B-C as if A never existed without leaving blank space) - Rage click prevention Amazing experience, thanks for having me. People at BUCK are absolutely goated, kudos to everyone who was helping me and to everyone who was actually doing the animations, stunning. Is it the biggest Rive exposure yet? Maybe Riveshow more

Copepods, could stop climate change 5 gigatons of these... 1mm-sized zooplankton called COPEPODS live in all the world’s Oceans. This is equivalent to 17 million 747 jets, and if you laid the jets end to end, they would go around the planet 31 times. The copepods migrate from around 200m below the ocean surface every night to feed on plants (phytoplankton) at the surface. It is the greatest mass migration of animals on the planet, and it happens twice a day. The vertical motion of the copepods moves just about as much water as the moon and the tides. The copepods eat 30 times more carbon than humanity generates from burning fossil fuels, and about 6%, or 3 gigatons, of their dead bodies and poop end up in the world’s largest carbon bank, the Abyss. The Abyss contains 500m to 1000’s of meters thick layer of organic carbon / mineral sludge with an area greater area than dry land on the planet. Yet humanity has wiped out more than 50% of marine plankton productivity over the last 70 years due to chemical and particle pollution. We have also wiped out 50% of Arctic krill, which are just as important. and we are now even contemplating dredging the ocean floor! We would not have had climate change if we had not poisoned and destroyed most of the world’s oceans. By 2045, the destruction will be complete unless we act now to stop the inevitable annihilation of nature and life on Earth. Let’s put things into perspective, in comparison to protecting nature, carbon mitigation, windmills and electric cars are almost a joke.

It's important to know that the Thing which is... sometimes called a "camel spider" is better called a solpugid or solifugid. It's not a spider at all. It has no venom glands, and kills prey by crunching them up with their massive jaws (the most powerful for their size of any animal). A really big one can nip you, and probably draw blood if you let it hang on long enough. But no venom of any sort. They just look super scary. I kept one as a pet for a while but it was a pretty terrible pet because all it wanted to do was escape the terrarium 24/7. Spiders, scorpions, and mantises are way more chill.show more

Why does my cat stalk towards me as though... I am prey? I only caught the tail end of this occurrence in the video, but about once a week I notice my cat (5 months) stalking towards me like this (she typically starts from much farther away and goes even slower). The weirdest part to me is that she only really does it towards me, not my husband. I’ve also seen her stalk prey before and she doesn’t usually continuously move in slow motion like this, she typically walks forward, pauses and assesses for a while, and then goes for the kill. Usually when she does this to me, she ends up snapping out of it due to movement or sound elsewhere, so she’s never pounced or anything - at most she jumps up next to me and then goes back to normal. I’m a new cat owner so this may be typical behavior, but it is so bizarre to me that this behavior seems reserved for me alone - not my husband, not our dog who she loves wrestling with (thanks reddit for clearing that up), and not the bugs she preys on. I was laughing in this video because she was cracking me up, but sometimes it genuinely freaks me out a bit, I feel like prey and I don’t like it 😶 I would love to hear any thoughts on the matter, if nothing else just enjoy this clip of my cat being an apex predator lolshow more

I'm not a MultiversX $EGLD maximalist. There are many... other chains that I like and resonate with for different reasons, like $XNO, $XMR, $SUI $ALGO, $XRD, $DASH, $ADA, $AVAX, $BCH, $NEAR etc. However, I believe Multiversˣ has the biggest asymmetry at this point. And for that, I mean, not only looking at egold from an investment perspective (which is also true, with massive growth potential, in my opinion), but also (and much more) from an ecosystem perspective. The ecosystem is still small and super welcoming to active contributors. Starting to contribute now, or building something within the ecosystem now, offers a huge asymmetric reward for the long run if MultiversX grows as much as I think it could. This, of course, is also a sort of bet and has its risks, but the risk-reward ratio is positive from my assessment and this is precisely what I'm doing. Anyone building a reputation, a brand, a business, or simply a network around MvX, now, is positioning for the future. This is the most valuable asymmetry in my opinion. Even bigger than simply buying EGLD, which I also believe will be very rewarding soon, but anyways. Build something. Whatever that is. Start now. What's your opinion about what I said here?show more

POLYMARKET AUTOMATE BOT It's been a week since Claude... Team make possible for Claude to contol user's PC Since then, I tried to create ~4 bots, 2 shared publicly here I just said to Claude: "research best options to profit through Polymarket using my PC, $200" Each time he chose copytrading and each time through the same TG bot No aribtrage No actual trading No just spotting insiders Mainly copying 5-15 min market traders that have different strategies, fetching best copytrading style for them Bot: This bot fetches wallets not only by: - PnL - Trades - Position size - Portfolio size - etc It also does a demo version of copytrading, each wallet for a couple of days, to calculate possible profits As a result, it comes up with the best copy strategy You can see on the screen 2 last redeems I made with it, copying positions with $8 each and a total balance $200 as I said I turned $200 into $4500 after ~2 days of bot working Make sure to follow me and turn notifs on, will share the exact bot setup and Claude settings soonshow more

I think many people missed my point and started... being suspicious and/or mean for literally no reason. I'm just sharing my knowledge and experience. I was only showing how I can retain a sharp elbow shape when arm is bent. Some people rig an extra bone to keep that sharp elbow. I'm showing that you don't necessarily need it. That's literally all I wanted to convey. Strategic topology + weightpaint can do so much if you're not making hyperrealism. It has its limits, but it's up to you how far you want to push the limits. I prefer simplicity for convenience as far as it allows me. I personally do anime and stylistic stuff, leaning towards aesthetic rigging solutions over hyperrealism in some cases. I like when things just look nice and smooth. If you only want to focus on the very extreme cases of bending limbs and fat/muscle movement, that's fine, but it was not the focus in previous video.show more

Getting to know: Trisha! ----- Bitterest rival turned to... the best of friends to Kezia, Trisha serves as KettleCorp's COO. Where Kezia is out making sure the Kettleverse doesn't collapse upon itself, Trisha keeps the shell corporation from collapsing on itself! While a cold, strict businesswoman at work, she's the most gentle and loving lady one could ever hope to be around off the job. Trisha has had to learn to be gentle ever since receiving her 'gift' years ago from the late 'Mr. K', who was seeking to create both a capable secretary and bodyguard: Nanites embued with 'chaotic essence' flow through her bloodstream that permanently increased her body size to an impressive 275 cm. Not only does this allow her wildly heightened strength, the nanites also allow her to manipulate her body mass at will. With enough concentration, Trisha can reach into the atmosphere with her height alone. The result? A gentle giantess, ready to love and protect those she holds most dear. Don't be intimidated by her size, instead be intimidated by the possibilities of having a 'Giant Goth GF'! #AIイラスト︎︎ #AIart #AISlop #GiantessGrowthshow more

⚔️ Kingdom Come Deliverance first impressions ⚔️ Loving it... so far, basically a medieval detective simulator that really doesn't care that you are the main character. And I'm all here for it. ▪️The WORLD is the real star of the show here and even though it's got plenty of jank and lots of copy and paste NPC faces, it just feels so IMMERSIVE. Even the UI just transports me to the times with a bright colourful medieval art style. ▪️The MUSIC I love, absolutely sells the world and basically ASMR as you trot around on your horse through the world. ▪️THE Combat is a real interesting one, it's got quite the learning curve which I actually LIKE, it definitely has some jank to it as well but I really appreciate the attempt at an original and nuanced combat system. (Having to stop your bleeding with bandages is really cool) ▪️The Story has gripped me (19 hours in so far) And while it seems a simple revenge story on the face of it, I think the story is more about Henry making his way through the world after the horrors of Skallitz. The writing quality is top notch as well as the quest design also. ▪️The CHARACTERS are amazing and the humour is top notch. I'm not sure the last time I laughed so much at a game. Henry is great and so well voiced by Tom McKay This really feels like Warhorse Studios have put a lot of love and work into making an authentic medieval world and as a bit of a medieval nerd I can't get enough of this game. A True RPG as well by all accounts, the game really makes me think hard about how to approach situations. Also I can't wait to get to KCD2.show more

Her team must be incompetent. How many times has... it been that she accidentally interacted with AI and then the community had to "call her out"? Why is there no one on her team who can tell if some asset is AI or not? This is just so cringe and performative, acting like AI is such a horrible evil that she needs to make a statement about it. Or maybe she doesn't care about it, continues to interact with it, and only says something until she gets called out for using AI. After all, Fortnite gave her SO MUCH MONEY! Also, a side note: a "like" is not necessarily an endorsement, but I also use it as a way to bookmark things separate from the bookmarks feature.show more
