Alfred Hitchcock on the Vertigo effect: Interviewer: "In Vertigo,... where they’re climbing up the stairs in the tower, there is a very strange effect." Hitchcock: "That effect took thirty years to get. It really did. When I was making Rebecca, I had a scene where Joan Fontaine is supposed to faint. I explained to Selznick I wanted to get the effect of her looking and everything seeming to go far away. Where I got the idea from was at the Royal Chelsea Arts Ball in London on New Year’s Eve. I remembered at a certain time during the evening everything seemed to go far away. And I asked for this effect and they said they couldn’t do it. I tried again about five years later. For Vertigo they tried different effects and finally it was arrived at by a combination of a dolly shot and a zoom lens crossing each other. Dollying in and zooming out. When the head of special effects came to me I said how much was it going to cost. He said $50,000 to put a camera high and take it up and zoom it, because of the enormous rig. I said, ‘‘But there is no one in the set.’’ Why didn’t they make a miniature and lay it on its side? “Oh, I hadn’t thought of that.” So they did it and it cost $19,000." — "Dialogue on Film: Alfred Hitchcock", American Film Institute, 1972show more

Is Google taking initial steps to enhance Street View?... For some reason, Street View seems stuck in technology that feels outdated. I wonder if we'll see such improvements on the product side. Also, note how much better it performs in all aspects compared to Zip-NeRF in their presented material. It offers more details and fewer artifacts. Great work! "LODGE: Level-of-Detail Large-Scale Gaussian Splatting with Efficient Rendering" Contributions: • We propose a novel LOD representation for 3DGS which, unlike previous methods [27, 28, 17], does not recompute the list of used Gaussians at each frame. This allows for acceleration and compaction, enabling the rendering of large-scale scenes even on mobile devices. • We design a strategy to automatically select optimal hyperparameters for splitting LODs, whereas most other methods require manual tuning of hyperparameters for each 3D scene. • To further accelerate rendering, we split the scene into chunks and pre-compute sets of active Gaussians per chunk. • Finally, we introduce a novel opacity interpolation scheme to produce visually pleasing rendering and eliminate artifacts when transitioning between chunks.show more

🚨 BRAWL STARS HAS DELETED AN OLD TWEET! 🚨... jersus | 🩷 discovered that Brawl Stars has deleted a tweet from the Biodome season for unknown reasons! The tweet contained the official heights of some Brawlers. Luckily after seeing the post from the person who noticed this, I remembered that Brawl Stars used to have a bunch of separate Twitter accounts for different languages. And as it turns out, the tweet was never deleted from those accounts! The link will be posted below! 👀 Why do you think it was removed? Personally, I think they deleted that tweet because some of the information in it doesn't really make much sense. For example, Ruffs shouldn't be that much bigger than Sprout, and Surge is shown as being so much smaller than Kaiju. Based on Surge's release animation, that doesn't seem to be the case in the lore. So it's possible that the height chart was inaccurate or no longer reflected the developers' intended scale for the characters.show more

Your ads aren’t underperforming. They’re under-evolving. The internet changes... daily. Trends shift weekly. Attention resets every scroll. But most ad creatives? They’re launched… and left untouched. That’s the gap. What impressed me about Omneky is simple: It doesn’t treat creative like a campaign. It treats it like software. Versioned. Tested. Improved. Instead of “launch and hope,” it uses AI to analyze what’s actually converting then adapts visuals, messaging, and formats based on real performance signals. It’s not about making more ads. It’s about building a system that learns faster than your competitors. Three things I like: – Creative decisions are backed by live data, not opinions. – Iteration happens continuously, not quarterly. – Marketers stay strategic while AI handles scale. This isn’t automation for the sake of efficiency. It’s creative compounding. And in paid media, compounding wins. If your growth depends on ads, this shift matters. Take a look: Would you rather guess what works or build a system that figures it out for you? 👀show more

How much better are the internal, unreleased models at... frontier labs like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic? We got a glimpse exactly one year ago today, when Google accidentally leaked the “Kingfall” model "Kingfall" was likely an unreleased Gemini 2.5 Ultra-sized model. It was available in AI Studio for only a few minutes but remained accessible through the API for several days At the time, "Kingfall" appeared to be significantly better than Gemini 2.5 Pro at both code generation and creative writing In a recent interview, Sundar Pichai mentioned that Google could have made a better, Ultra-sized Gemini Omni model, but would have had trouble serving it The infrastructure required to serve Ultra-sized models at scale is likely why Google never publicly released models like “Kingfall”show more

🤖 Robotic hands are evolving faster than we realize... — and they’re learning to master our world. I find this both fascinating and a little unsettling. At first glance, these robotic hands still look awkward - stiff fingers, clumsy motion. But behind the scenes, every iteration brings: ➡️ Tighter sensors ➡️ Smarter control loops ➡️ Better training on human-designed objects Week by week, they move closer to something astonishing — not imitation, but mastery. They’re learning to grip, twist, and adapt to tools made for our anatomy. And once they reach human-level dexterity, they won’t stop there. They’ll surpass it — steadier than surgeons, faster than assembly lines, tireless and precise. This is more than robotics. It’s the moment machines stop mimicking us… and start outperforming us. How do we redefine “human skill” in a world where robots master it too? #AI #Robotics #Innovation #Technology #Automation #FutureOfWork #Engineeringshow more

You are probably breathing TOO MUCH, which is affecting... your longevity and looks. It probably sounds counterintuitive - more breaths = better, right? No. Today, we breathe shallow, from our mouths, into our chests at a pace that is more to our detriment than otherwise. The average person takes 18-20 breaths per minute, optimal pace being 6-10. This blows out CO2 faster than the body can produce it. Less CO2 means less oxygen reaches your cells, no matter how much air you breathe in. When you chronically overbreathe, your: → Sleep collapses → Skin dulls and ages faster → Cortisol stays elevated 24/7 → Lymph backs up and the face puffs → Lips lose tone and the seal weakens → Forward head posture sets in and the jaw retracts → Tongue drops from the palate and the maxilla narrows → Cheekbones lose support and the midface collapses inward Just from breathing incorrectly. The most ideal way to breathe is: -through your nose -funnelling the air BACKWARDS (imagine directing the air into the lower back region) -in a slowly and controlled manner This is called Back Breathing and you will instantly feel a difference. Breathe less. Live longer. Look better. ⚡️show more

NEW: Senior official at the U.S. State Department Josh... Paul has resigned over Biden's failure in the Middle East. In his resignation letter, Paul strongly condemned Hamas before blasting the Biden Administration for failing to put American interests first. “Let me be clear: Hamas' attack on Israel was not just a monstrosity; it was a monstrosity of monstrosities.” “But I believe to the core of my soul that the response Israel is taking, and with it the American support both for that response... will only lead to more and deeper suffering for both the Israeli and the Palestinian people - and is not in the long term American interest.” “This Administration’s response and much of Congress’ as well - is an impulsive reaction built on confirmation bias, political convenience, intellectual bankruptcy and bureaucratic inertia.” “Blind support for one side is destructive in the long term to the interests of the people on both sides. I fear we are repeating the same mistakes we have made these past decades, and I decline to be a part of it for longer.” Wow.show more

🇨🇳 Many people don't know this but Chinese high... speed trains are now the fastest in the word and officially faster than even the 🇯🇵 Japanese Shinkansen Chinese trains go 350-400km/h (217-250mph) depending on the model While the Japanese Shinkansen goes 320km/h (200mph) max So I went to try it from Chengdu to Chongqing (just $80 for biz class) This one is the slightly older 350km/h model The business class cabin has 5 big seats that can lay flat with a stewardess dedicated to the cabin who serves you drinks like coffee, water, orange juice etc. I guess if it's a longer trip you probably get food served too The journey was very smooth and very fast, it maintained close to 350km/h at all times and there wasn't many stops or breaks (good) It didn't have WiFi, which is kind of a miss but it seems Chinese just use 5G for everything which worked fine for me without interrruption too I'd say the interior could be a bit more beautiful and modern. I usually say things in Japan look ancient but I think the Shinkansen interior there looks a bit more modern than here The trip took 1 hour and it passed about 300km in that time, roughly equivalent to the width of my country the Netherlands 😂 Anyway solid experience (and cheap!) 👍show more

🚨BREAKING🚨 This changes how we get to Mars. Not... faster rockets… Smarter propulsion. NASA just tested a lithium-plasma engine that could reshape space travel: • Runs at 120 kW (25× stronger than current deep-space thrusters) • Uses 90% less fuel than chemical rockets • Can accelerate continuously for YEARS Meaning this You don’t blast to Mars… You glide there slowly at first… then accelerating to 400,000+ km/h No explosive burn. Just constant push. That’s the shift: From force-based bursts → to continuous acceleration systems And it changes everything: • Less fuel = bigger missions • Longer thrust = higher final speeds • More control = safer travel Mars missions (~2.6 years) could become: • Faster • Lighter • More efficient But the deeper insight: Space travel isn’t about power anymore… It’s about sustained structure over time Follow me I track where physics becomes engineering.show more

Happy 33rd birthday Miley Cyrus and once again, thank... YOU so much for all that you have done in my life. 14 year old me made the best decision of his life one day when he woke up and saw the flowers music video and clicked it instantly. The song itself helped change my perspective about love in life and at a time where my self worth was based on others it made me become so much more comfortable with myself. I went to movies by myself, went to concerts by myself, and every time the opportunity to celebrate myself came, I took it. And since then, my love for your music and personality has only grew stronger, endless summer vacation was filled with bops and some of my personal favourite songs + something beautiful is just perfection. The meaning and concept of the album is also something that I find, for a lack of word, beautiful as in a place where everyone is so unkind and hateful, it focuses on the love and kindness of it. Also, meeting you this year was just the most iconic, fabulous, amazing thing to ever happen, thank you so much for hosting and performing and it was truly truly truly my dream come true. 😙♥️ This message is getting pretty long and I guess at the core of it, I just wanted to say thank YOU. You are the most beautiful person on earth and I hope you have the most wonderful birthday and enjoy your time with Maxx, Tish and your family. We all love you and can’t wait for the new album! Love you Miley ❤️♥️show more

🚨 THE RACE TO 6G JUST ACCELERATED. Northrop Grumman... has developed a W-band GaN chip operating at up to 110 GHz and took it from concept to market-ready hardware in less than six months. The new gallium nitride chip operates in the W-band (75–110 GHz), a frequency range that delivers massive bandwidth, extremely high data rates, and much lower latency than current systems. What makes this impressive is the speed: the chip went from concept to market-ready hardware in less than six months through a U.S. government-backed microelectronics program. That’s unusually fast for advanced defense-grade semiconductors. The chip acts as a high-power signal amplifier that can strengthen wireless links while shrinking the size and power consumption of the hardware. It’s designed for military radar, secure satellite communications, and the coming wave of 6G networks. Why this matters: • W-band offers far more spectrum than current 5G bands, enabling much faster data transmission and higher-resolution sensing • Gallium nitride can handle significantly higher power and frequencies than silicon, making it ideal for these demanding applications • The rapid development cycle shows how public-private collaboration can accelerate critical semiconductor technologies • The same tech that strengthens military radar and satellite links will directly feed into future commercial 6G infrastructure The deeper implication: We’re watching the foundation of next-generation wireless and sensing systems being laid in real time. High-frequency GaN chips like this won’t just improve existing radar and satellite systems they’re likely to become core building blocks for 6G, autonomous systems, and advanced defense platforms. The fact that this moved from lab to market in under six months suggests the pace of high-frequency electronics is accelerating dramatically. The future of wireless isn’t just faster. It’s operating at frequencies most people have never heard of and it’s being built right now. How soon do you think W-band and GaN technology will start appearing in everyday 6G devices?

🚨 CHINA IS RACING TO BUILD A SPACE SOLAR... POWER PLANT THAT COULD BEAM ELECTRICITY FROM ORBIT TO EARTH. Scientists at Xidian University have successfully tested a ground-based system that can wirelessly transmit kilowatt-level power over 100 meters using microwaves. Their ultimate goal is far more ambitious: placing large solar power stations in geostationary orbit (36,000 km up), where sunlight is available 24/7 with no weather or atmosphere blocking it. The project, called Zhuri (“chasing the sun”), uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto solar panels, converts the electricity into microwaves, and beams it down to a receiving antenna (rectenna) on Earth. Why this matters: • In space, solar energy is up to 6 times more efficient than on Earth because there’s no night, clouds, or atmospheric filtering • A single large space solar station could theoretically generate gigawatts of continuous clean power enough for millions of homes • The team has already proven the system can beam power to multiple moving targets at once • China is now among the world leaders in this technology, alongside the US and Japan The deeper implication: Space-based solar power has been a dream for decades because it could provide truly baseload renewable energy. While the technical and financial challenges are enormous (building massive structures in orbit, precise microwave beaming, and safety), steady progress like this brings the concept closer to reality. If successful, it could fundamentally change how humanity generates and distributes energy moving power collection off the planet entirely. Near-term applications could include wirelessly charging satellites or powering future lunar bases. Do you think space-based solar power will become a major energy source in the coming decades, or will it stay too expensive and complex?

This young man says he doesn’t have any sympathy... for people being deported. “100%, I don’t give a S**t. It took my dad 10 years to come to this country LEGALLY. He did everything by the book. And….if we’re going to let people in, that’s fine, just do it the right way like everybody else did….Just follow the rules.” The media will never show minorities on video saying they support President Trump’s immigration policies or his deportation policies. Never. This young man gives me hope for our younger generation. There’s more of them than you know who think like we do than the media will ever show.

➡️It's a little embarrassing to share, but I feel... like it took me way to long to realize the better workflow with rigging. So here's a little #live2d tip for those beginner artists that clicked for me a while back! I used to rig all body, clothing, and accessories for one given area all at once, but I think it ended up being inconsistent to other parts of the model. My workflow was slower too. 😬 It's similar to the inconsistencies you'd get by not drawing the bone structures of your character drawing, and just trying to draw the clothes right away. Body parts can sometimes seem to not line up, especially as a newer artist. It's a small change, but rigging only the nude base in full and then slowly adding one clothing part at a time makes the entire rigging process easier.😄 I know it seems really obvious, but I actually didn't start doing this until early last year. Everything comes together much faster and much more consistently, so definitely give it a try! Hope you enjoy this #vtuber leg rigging ☺️show more
