Imago loop with the Fatebringer roll which could only... drop from strikes using a skeleton key. 9 years ago I spent idk how many months farming for itshow more

A new method for tracking protein-protein interactions in real... time in living cells could open unexplored possibilities for understanding how cellular processes change with age. (1/9)show more

a few months ago I built a demo fusor... that produced plasma—this was nowhere near capable to *actually* do fusion. I spent the last many weeks gathering parts on ebay, battling Canada post strikes and then speedrunning the assembly using Claude Projects in less than 2 days.show more

Jony Ive + LoveFrom spent 9 months perfecting how... you turn on a car The Ferrari Luce has a glass E Ink key. In your pocket, it glows Ferrari yellow - using zero power (E Ink is bistable) Slide it into the magnetized dock. Press down. The yellow drains from the key, flows into the glass gear shifter, and the cockpit comes alive A "transference of life." and exactly what obsession at the highest level looks likeshow more

Spent the last day designing this using only Claude... Code aside from the shader which was made in Paper. Didn't draw a single rectangle. Forcing myself to only design with Claude going forward 🫡show more

The Revenant (2015) was planned for 6 months but... stretched to 9 — DiCaprio later called it a 12-month shoot. Shot only in natural light and extreme weather, the production had to relocate from Canada to Argentina when they ran out of snow and the budget jumped from $95M to ~$135M. It was released 10 years ago today.show more

Two months ago, at an RSS workshop panel, I... said that general real2sim reconstruction is still far from solved, especially for articulated objects, which will be a major bottleneck for robotics. But now that has totally changed with Astra; using several photos as input, we can easily reconstruct vivid articulated scenes. The result is so impressive! Excited to see how it will shift the paradigm of real2sim2real and agentic learning for robotics and humanoids.show more

From 30 years ago, a spacecraft I designed and... rendered using POVRay for an animation I created portraying the diversion of a comet using a nuclear weapon. This wasn't designed in a modeling program, it was hand drafted and the geometry transcribed into POV Scene description language by hand.show more

The washing machine we bought for 83K a year... and half ago is now 188K 😲, and the Fridge we saw two weeks ago which was 195K is now being sold for 225K when we went to buy it 😭! And And I broke the screen of my phone which I bought for 60K 3 years ago. And I took it to a maintenance shop and screen only costs 53K 😭😭😭 I guess I will be phone less for a while! #Ethiopia #InflationNation #ToughLife #SendHelpshow more

mingyu was actually using his own guitar for shining... star 🥹 🐶 i bought the guitar a year ago so i can learn how to play but i only learned for a bit. and i finally found a reason why i bought it because of this stage!show more

A few days ago, I poked fun at wells... in Crimson Desert. Water is important for food crafting, and was the only ingredient I could find without a free farming option. You can now use a well and get 5 water each time. I've tried it 3 times on one well, and it hasn't run out yet.show more

If you are using an if statement inside a... for loop, did you know there's a better way of doing this is Swift? I'm talking about the where clause. Using the where clause in a for loop can provide several benefits over using an if statement inside a for loop: Readability: It explicitly states the condition that must be met for an element to be processed, making the purpose of the loop clearer to anyone reading the code. Efficiency: When using a where clause, the filtering of elements is done at the level of the sequence, which can be more efficient than filtering within the loop with an if statement. Brevity: Using a where clause often results in more concise code, as it eliminates the need for an if statement and associated braces. This can make the code more manageable and easier to maintain.show more

Two years ago I was benching the 160-175 range.... Today I just hit 290 for 1 rep - a new personal record. Tried 300, which almost came up, but failed. Good nutrition, sleeping and lifting habits, consistency and showing up when I didn’t want to was key as it is for anything.show more

Without googling it… how many of you actually know... what a butter bell is? We’ve had one on our counter for years. I just learned what it does and how to use it. My wife made it very clear that I am a savage I might be but was wondering if I was the only oneshow more

6 months ago reventlow and I discussed kitting our... NES consoles with a RGR clear shell; however, we both hated the idea of using the unreliable OG 72-pin connector. So we embarked on a journey to fix the sin @nintendo committed 35 years ago, say hello to the Ninten-drawer: a 🧵show more

A few years ago, I wanted to design a... front panel for a desktop PC with real time machine info. I designed a few prototypes using OLED panels that were available at the time. All 6 running at 60 fps from a single ESP32. Never followed through because 1) I didn't know how to write system software and it felt like a huge undertaking to fetch CPU-Z + Task Manager data without using some paid API 2) These OLEDs failed after 6 months of continuous on-time. Their brightness faded unevenly as they aged too.show more
