Who says microcontrollers are only for sensors and IoT?... One developer used an ESP32-S3 to create an entire collection of interactive generative art, proving that embedded systems can be a creative medium too. The projects use Adafruit Qualia ESP32-S3 with a 2.1" round TFT display and an IMU for motion-based interaction, while the artwork is first prototyped in JavaScript and then ported to C++ and deployed with the Arduino IDE. Along the way, you will learn about computer graphics, embedded displays, animation, IMU sensors, generative art, optimization, and real-time rendering on resource-constrained hardware.show more

Today we’re releasing an early version of a new... feature called Tip Cards. We built Tip Cards after seeing people all over the world tipping each other with Cash Links for their contributions online eg. posting good content, responding to questions, moderating group chats, and many others. Tip Cards simplify this experience by enabling every Code user to create their own personalized Tip Card and accept tips from anyone in the world. To create your Tip Card, simply connect your Twitter/X account in the Code app and your personalized Tip Card will be instantly generated for you. You can then share it as a link or get someone to scan it. (Video below of how to create your Tip Card) We’re rolling out this early version of Tip Cards to get feedback on this new payment type and test the Twitter APIs at scale. We plan to add more features to the tipping experience as we go, so your feedback is appreciated. Please try it out and let us know what you think. If you post your Tip Card and tag Code we’ll send you a tip!show more

Here are some really tactical ways to optimize the... First and last frame capability: — Make sure your prompt includes precise camera motion descriptions for smooth and creative transitions between the first and last frames. — Or, you can simply include the word “transform” in your prompt for a smooth transition — Starting with a closeup in your first frame and then zooming out to a wide-shot in the final frame is an effective way to create a dramatic reveal.show more

Been experimenting with some pixilated imagery, and used a... mix of photo bashing and existing imagery to test this out. Animated the main movement in Procreate. I thought the tests were interesting so I thought id upload them! New territory for me! Test [1]show more

If you have a double chin, try out these... 5 exercises! A double chin commonly forms due to loose skin and weakened fascia, the connective tissue beneath the skin that supports the muscles. As we age, the muscles and fascia in the neck are used less frequently, which can cause them to weaken and sag over time. Each of these exercises targets a different layer of fascia and muscle to help stretch, strengthen, and tone the neck area. Perform each exercise for 30 seconds consistently to see noticeable improvements.show more

When creating this cut for SCP:GALLIONIC's trailer we started... out with a 3D layout, where the general movement and camera placements are decided. Then animation and Backgrounds are worked on in tandem. Creating the background was fairly straightforward (just define the structure, textures and lighting) [done by Brando Leon Rustici - (So So Animations) ] Animation however, was definitely a bit trickier, but Jag アニメーター really knocked it out of the park: especially with such complicated designs and number of individual objects, it's always good (as he's done) to break it down first to just "blobs", to get the movement down and after that actually drawing the characters properly. Mikey Nowack, other than being being responsible for SCP-1762's design, also took care of the colour script for this cut, and together with Wing (in charge of compositing) brought the final scene to life! Go check out the full trailer if you have not already! #scp #indie_animeshow more

- Mohd Siraj Khan used to live as a... tenant in Amit Vihar Colony near Loni Border. - A 12 year old Hindu girl also used to live as a tenant in the same building. - When parents of this girl used to go out for work, Siraj used to rape hera after threatening her. This happened for more than three months. - When her health declined, her parents took her to hospital. They found out that she was pregnant and got to know the whole story. - Siraj Khan was trying to escape but UP Police caught him after an encounter. Unlike Asad, Siraj is still alive. I just want to know why are Hindus renting out their property to people like Siraj???show more

When I said farming sucks right now I meant... we are in a drought. Farmers and ranchers are used to price fluctuations and we can deal with that. This drought is way bigger than me. I put this out because Colorado supplies water to other states that are hurting as well. Pray for rain not just for me but for all who are struggling.show more

I am still in shock. He used a leaf... to cover my cut ..Primates are known to use leaves for many things (drinking cups, umbrellas, napkins), but using one as a "dressing" for a wound is next-level intelligence. Whether he was trying to stop the bleeding or just cover the "bright red spot" to protect me, this is a clear sign of empathy. He saw a problem and used a tool to fix it.show more

Today on The Science and Experience of Energy, we... describe mysterious mitochondria-like particles that we found in blood and saliva using high-resolution electron microscopy. These particles had double membranes, and some had folds in the internal membrane—a feature that is unique to mitochondria. We don’t yet know what exactly these particles are or their purpose, but we're excited to learn more about them. The massive image database is the first of its kind—have a look if you want to see what circulates in the human blood. Thanks to NIH and Baszucki Group who've supported our work, this resource is freely available to everyone.show more

Bro if you want to raise 5 kids these... days, it’s basically impossible. A woman is out of work for 10 years roughly, due to pregnancy and new born raising. Then calculate all the cost for living, food, clothing and such. You’d need a house with 6 rooms in the best case … and you need to provide for all of them. Basically having kids is a luxury now.show more

An update on these 11 puppies that were dumped... in a plastic storage container last September where they could barely move or breathe, in Alabama. They were all rescued and cared for and adopted out and are now being loved and living in their forever homes. So many evil people in the world. I guess at least you could say they cut holes out in the bin for air to get through. Please have your pets spayed or neutered and instead of bringing a bunny home this Spring or buying a dog from a pets store, maybe think of rescuing a dog and adopting one at your local shelter. They are overcrowded and need help. 💔show more

For those who aren’t jobless and didn’t follow the... entire saga here's a refresher: >Chibi reviews tweeted that Mujin purposefully spread a fake screenshot in order to “ruin his career and label him a criminal” based on a comment where Mujin said he cut out a fake tweet. >Turns out the fake ss Mujin had cut out of his video was not of Chibi but of Deme. >ALSO turns out that this fake ss was one that both Chibi Reviews and Espiritu had spread multiple times. Mujin's mistake was using these two as a source.😂show more

A 23-year-old guy from China sold his software to... an advertising agency for $650,000 To build the app, he used Claude and Python The program changes the background, adds special effects, lip-syncs, and generates voiceovers in real-time during live broadcasts There’s no longer any need to search for a model with the perfect voice and diction or worry about live mistakes, and the costs for real-time graphics and broadcasting specialists are slashed to $0 He sent cold emails to six ad agencies, and one of them invited him for a meeting. After two weeks of verification and test recordings, they cut him a check for $650,000 The article includes ready-to-use configuration foldersshow more
