last week we launched Koji, Brilliant.org 's math and... coding tutor. one of my favorite little design details is a dynamic glow effect that visually indicates when Koji is talking. to make it happen, we wrote a script to databind the audio waveform of Koji's voice, then built a preview environment that allowed us to fine-tune the effect before handing off to developers. you can read more about the process belowshow more

Make Earth Cool Again. Yesterday, we had special guests... 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 and Alice help us deploy reflective clouds next to the Ozone layer to cool Earth. In total we launched four balloons and placed ~7.25 pounds of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) close to the Ozone layer, including one launch that reached a height of 101,358 feet. These deployments offset the warming effect of 3,290 metric tons of CO₂ for a year. We achieved the climate-cooling equivalent of planting 149,545 mature trees that last for a year.show more

“You’ve got to have a team full of champions... before you’re ever going to win a championship. That’s where sometimes we get a little misguided. We live in a result oriented world, everything is about results and very little is about the process it takes to get the results,” Nick Sabanshow more

India should host the biggest vibe coding conference the... world has seen 🚀 Everything about Vibe coding(talks, panels, AI product building, hackathon, including the biggest names in the world) come here for an ultimate showdown(think 10k+ people in a Vibecoding conference) 🔥 And I have a plan Why? Because the number of learners, founders and professionals who are building via vibe coding in India and powering the global platforms is testament to the fact that if it should happen anywhere, it is here For the last 4+ years, I have enabled 3000+ people to build and continue to do so in a new avatar(announcement soon) and I believe if the entire ecosystem is willing to come together we can create a real spectacle We have the skills, the access and the experience to pull this off. The only thing it needs is for everyone seeing this to reach out and join hands(partners, sponsors & more) to make this as big as possible I am so hyped about it that the website is set, the name is set(Vibecon) and we can make an incredible run to make it happen. Reply to this post if you think we should do this, if we have >500 responses we will get to work 🥳 Reach out if you have ideas to partner to make the biggest Vibecoding conference a reality ♥️show more

NYC Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani double-downs on free busses... in New York. "Now when it comes to making buses free it is something that I continue to believe is important because what we are talking about is a cost of living crisis in the city where one in five New Yorkers struggle to afford the fare at three dollars. And we know that that is only going to be exacerbated the longer this cost of living crisis goes and we never want a New Yorker to be priced out of that."show more

How it started......And how it ended...... there is one... common denominator in both videos. One guy is a fake tough guy, you was talking all that shit in the beginning of the game intentionally running over to our sidelines to intimidate us. Then was crying at the end like a little bitch about our flag. Where was this energy during the game?We don't start shit but we for damn sure finish it. Go Blue!〽️🏈show more

This individual is basically asking about how the devs... at DICE handled lightmaps in Battlefield 4 (baked global illumination) when it came to dynamic events like buildings collapsing, which is an excellent question! In the video I provided here, you can see lightmaps on the building, particularly the balconies. Essentially, when it’s time for the building to collapse, a dynamic animated version of the building is immediately instantiated in the exact location of the old one. You can actually see this happening too. Before the building collapses, you can see a weird flicker effect. That flicker is the lightmaps disappearing entirely, because a different version of the same building that lightmaps won’t function on replaces the static light mapped building. Really cool stuff!show more

On of my favorite RPO concepts is a 2... back set that can be run to the read, or away. Gives the illusion of a stretch/lead run (& can convert to that), but the lead back is running an arrow route out of the backfield. Read the apex defender & make wrong! Pace N Spaceshow more

The Bitcoin Bookshelf is the corner of the library... where people from all backgrounds can come to discover what Bitcoin is. By taking out the intimidation, we will create an environment for us to strengthen the code, the software, and the network behind it. We have created a place for discovery, for families and friends to learn together and teach one another about the benefits of a decentralized future. I want to thank all the sponsors that helped make this dream a reality, and all the authors who donated all of the books for this project. We are working hard to bringing a bookshelf to all corners of the world, a dedicated section in all libraries so everyone can have access to financial freedom.show more

ECLAMPSIA: ONE OF THE MOST DREADED IN PREGNANCY AND... LABOUR. DO NOT WAIT TO HAVE SEIZURES AT HOME BEFORE YOU TREAT THAT RAISED BLOOD PRESSURE IN PREGNANCY Walk with me... Will you? ...Long read. When Danger Whispers Before It Screams: Eclampsia, and the Women We Are Still Losing Dear Women and Men, My dearies, no pregnant woman should convulse before we care, and this is not poetry, this is policy, this is science, this is humanity. When I watched that video, a woman convulsing in pregnancy, I felt my heart splinter, just a little, because I have stood in that room before, and I have fought that fight, and I have watched a shaking body argue with death. It is never sudden. It only looks sudden to those who arrive at the last sentence without reading the earlier chapters. That lifeless stare, that chaos of limbs, that trembling cry, it is the final paragraph of a story that could have been rewritten much earlier, and much more gently. We call it eclampsia, a name that sounds almost elegant, and yet it is one of pregnancy’s most ruthless murderers. It is what happens when blood pressure rises and rises, and then decides it wants more, more damage, more danger, more destruction. The brain rebels, the liver strains, the kidneys falter, and the woman, the woman who is carrying life, begins to lose herself. Sometimes it announces itself with blurred vision, and sometimes with swelling feet we excuse, and sometimes with a headache that drums and drums and refuses to be ignored. And then, suddenly, the body convulses, and the room fills with panic, and everyone asks, How did this happen? But before eclampsia, there is pre-eclampsia, and it is quiet, and deceptive, and almost polite. It comes with numbers slightly raised, with symptoms easily dismissed, with discomfort we normalize because women are taught to endure. We say, It’s stress, and It’s pregnancy, and It will pass. And we forget that danger rarely knocks loudly; it prefers to whisper first. And so we miss it. And then we mourn it. This is why antenatal care is not ceremony, not routine, not something to be postponed. It is a rescue mission. When a blood pressure cuff tightens around your arm, and when urine is tested for protein, it is not box-ticking, it is listening. It is watching. It is standing between a whisper and a scream. It is the difference between prevention and tragedy. So, my dear women, do not wait for your body to convulse before you seek help. Do not cradle pain in silence, and do not let culture, or fear, or false reassurance convince you that everything will be fine. Sometimes it will not unless we act, and unless we care, and unless we pay attention. Because truly, no pregnant woman should die. Not in a world that has magnesium sulphate to still the storm. Not when blood pressure can be controlled and babies can be delivered safely. Not when knowledge exists, and care can save both mother and child. And so, when next you see that video, do not scroll past, and do not sigh and move on. Let it interrupt you. Let it remind you to check a blood pressure, to attend that appointment, to insist on care. Let it remind you that antenatal care is not only about the baby, it is about the woman carrying life itself. Because eclampsia is not destiny, and it is not punishment, and it is not inevitable. It is preventable. And no pregnant woman should convulse before we care.show more

There is only one reason to share truth. And... no it has nothing to do with money- and everything to do about helping God move. Peace is the prize- a better world for everyone is the prize. We make SACRIFICES for things we want most in this world. Christ made the ultimate sacrifice If He can do that for us FREE of charge- we owe it to each other to work TOGETHER to make the world a better place- despite the toll and sacrifice. A level playing field- where we can all work hard and do our best to succeed- that is the payout. A better world for all We’re not here for just ourselves- otherwise the second commandment wouldn’t be like the first- love your neighbor as yourself. This world gets better the sooner we all wake up. Information is free- we collect and share it for free in hopes that it keeps spreading. Only working TOGETHER can we win. We are meant to move these messages for God so that humanity can wake up- this plan is designed that way- working together The Lord is ONE. We are bound as a family by Our Father in Heaven. We are apart of Him and He is apart of all of us. We are billions of little pieces of the Lords gift of life. We’ve been separated and pushed apart because it makes us weak. We were designed to be powerful by the love we draw from Creator and push through creation. We are ONE with Our Holy Father 🙏💗 Be EXCELLENT to each other frensshow more

HUAWEI HarmonyOS 6.1’s liquid glass effect is indeed the... closest implementation to iOS 26 among all current smartphone operating systems. It looks genuinely beautiful. This may be one of HarmonyOS’s advantages. At least in terms of visual rendering, dynamic blur, transparent materials, and layered depth, Huawei has clearly shown that it has the ability to create this kind of premium glass-like effect. I am not trying to argue whether it is right or wrong for Huawei to follow Apple’s design direction. My point is that the ability to actually achieve this effect is impressive in itself. By comparison, other Android-based OS skins have not yet shown the same level of execution. The Android camp still has work to do.show more
