🚨 BREAKING: Scientists have demonstrated “metajets” light-propelled metasurfaces with full 3D maneuverability. That means laser-driven propulsion is moving from concept toward controllable engineering. If scalable, this could strengthen the case for Starshot-style missions to Alpha Centauri in ~20 years. What fascinates me most: Light isn’t just carrying information here... show more

🚨 SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE FOUND A REAL “LOOPHOLE” FOR WARP DRIVES. And for the first time, the math may not completely break physics. For decades, warp drives were considered impossible because they seemed to require massive amounts of “exotic negative energy” that doesn’t exist in usable quantities. But new theoretical models suggest there may be ways to reshape spacetime using far less exotic energy or in some versions, almost none at all. Why this matters: • A warp drive doesn’t actually move the ship faster than light • It compresses spacetime in front of the craft and expands it behind • The ship stays inside a stable bubble while the universe itself moves around it • Einstein’s speed limit remains intact the ship never locally exceeds c The deeper implication is mind-bending: If spacetime can be engineered like this, distance itself becomes programmable. Interstellar travel would stop being an impossible energy problem… and turn into a geometry problem. The universe may not be blocking faster-than-light travel. We may simply be too primitive to shape spacetime correctly yet. What happens when humanity learns to engineer gravity itself? Follow for more frontier physics and reality-bending breakthroughs.

🚨 THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 🚨 🚨NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨 🚨 People always talk about Iranian oil in terms of barrels, but rarely about what’s actually inside them. That’s the key difference—and the reason Western refineries have quietly relied on back-channel networks through places like Dubai for years to keep getting it, even under sanctions. Crude oil isn’t all the same. It’s a mix of hydrocarbons with different molecular weights, and that mix determines how easily it can be turned into the fuels refineries actually sell—like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. The main measure here is API gravity. Higher API means lighter crude that’s easier and cheaper to refine, and it produces more of those high-value fuels. Lower API means heavier crude that takes more energy, more processing, and more expensive equipment, while producing more low-value leftovers. Iranian Light crude sits right in a sweet spot, with an API gravity around 33–36 and moderate sulfur levels. It’s light enough to produce a lot of gasoline and middle distillates without high costs, but not so light that it limits what refineries can make. In industry terms, it’s close to an ideal blend. Now look at the alternatives. Venezuela’s Merey crude is much heavier, with very low API gravity and high sulfur. Refining it profitably requires specialized, expensive equipment like cokers and hydrocrackers. Some refineries are built for that—but it’s not interchangeable with Iranian crude. It’s a completely different type of input. On the other end, US West Texas Intermediate is very light and low in sulfur. Sounds perfect in theory, but in practice it’s almost too light. Many refineries—especially in Europe and Asia—are designed for medium-grade crude, so they can’t just switch to WTI. They often have to blend it with heavier oils to make it work. That’s where Iranian crude stands out. It fits right into the middle of the system. It doesn’t need the heavy-duty processing of Venezuelan oil or the blending adjustments required for ultra-light US shale. That balance is why it’s consistently in demand and often priced at a premium. It also explains why countries like India kept buying it despite sanctions, and why those complex trading networks through Dubai existed in the first place. The Strait of Hormuz isn’t just a route for oil—it’s a route for this specific kind of oil that global refineries are optimized to process. If that flow gets disrupted, it’s not just about losing supply. It’s about losing the type of crude the system runs most efficiently on, forcing refineries to adapt with less suitable alternatives. That’s what’s really baked into oil prices like $82—not just how much oil is available, but what kind it is.

When a spacecraft leaves Earth, it doesn’t just fire its engines and head straight to its destination. In many missions, especially those going beyond low Earth orbit, there’s a more subtle and elegant strategy at play, one that uses gravity itself as part of the navigation system. This is often called a gravity assist, or a slingshot maneuver. But in the case of missions like #Artemis II, what’s being used is a closely related idea known as a free-return trajectory. At first glance, it might sound simple: the spacecraft goes to the Moon, loops around it, and comes back. But the physics behind it is anything but simple. Instead of relying on continuous propulsion, the spacecraft follows a carefully calculated path through the gravitational field of the Earth–Moon system. It is launched with just the right speed and direction so that, as it approaches the Moon, the Moon’s gravity bends its trajectory. The spacecraft is effectively flung around the Moon, redirected onto a path that naturally brings it back toward Earth. No major engine burn is needed for the return. Small trajectory corrections may still be required, but gravity does the heavy lifting. That’s the key. This kind of trajectory is not just efficient, it’s also safe. If something goes wrong with the spacecraft’s engines or onboard systems, gravity itself ensures the return. It’s an inherent backup plan, built into the trajectory from the very beginning. The same fundamental idea appears in gravity assists used across the Solar System. When a spacecraft flies past a planet, it can gain or lose speed by exchanging momentum with that planet. From the spacecraft’s point of view, it’s as if it has been accelerated without using fuel. In reality, it has borrowed a tiny amount of orbital energy from the planet itself. That’s how missions like Voyager reached the outer planets, and how probes continue to explore regions far beyond what their onboard fuel alone would allow. But there’s an important distinction. An interplanetary gravity assist is typically used to change speed and direction, often increasing the spacecraft’s energy. A free-return trajectory, like the one used in Artemis II, is designed for something more specific: a path that naturally loops back to Earth without requiring additional propulsion. It’s less about gaining energy, and more about shaping a trajectory that guarantees a return. To understand why this works, it helps to stop thinking in straight lines. In space, motion follows curves defined by gravity. The spacecraft is constantly falling, first toward Earth, then toward the Moon, and then back toward Earth again. What looks like a loop is really a continuous free fall through a changing gravitational landscape. This way of navigating space reveals something deeper. We tend to think of engines as the drivers of motion, but once a spacecraft is on its way, gravity does most of the work. The art of spaceflight is not just about thrust. It’s about knowing when not to use it. #GoodLuck #Artemis NASA Artemis

JADE gets emotional reflecting on her North American tour in a new TikTok: “I’m having so much fun on this tour. I just feel so grateful that I’m getting to do this at this point in my career. The fact that I get to tour [North America] after being in the industry for 15 years, and only now just getting to do my own headline tour, is incredible. It’s been a long time coming. What’s really beautiful about these shows is that when I look into the audience, I recognise so many of the fans here from back in the day, who’ve literally waited for years – like me! – for this moment. It just makes me feel so loved and supported to know people have believed in me enough to stick around for years waiting for this to happen. Anyone that’s bought a ticket, dressed up, made their own costumes… It’s just such a lovely, beautiful thing. I hope they can see when I’m on stage just how much that means to me, and how much I love performing and putting on the best show that I possibly can every single night. I will never ever take it for granted. I’m just so chuffed that I get to do this for a living… be a silly pop girlie, write and create music that brings people – and myself – a lot of joy… Thank you for believing in me. I literally get on the bunk on my bus most nights from the tour and just lie there like, ‘Oh my god! As if this is my life!’ It means a lot. I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life… Full of gratitude and lots of all the lovely emotions. Thank you so much.”

for #SUNOO 🦊 💌 🎂 an angel once taught me that happiness isn’t something you keep to yourself, it’s something meant to be shared; i was deeply moved by the story of a human angel who started the happiness fund. so i decided to follow in his footsteps by making a contribution to doctors without borders. It’s a small gesture, but I hope it can help bring comfort and hope to places that need it the most i also adopted a giant panda through wwf uk, not only it’s a step toward protecting the future of these beautiful creatures, but it’s also a quiet wish: that the human angel who inspired it all can continue to love panda for a long, long time and lastly, there’s a little surprise shining on the street of jakarta, a led ad just for him. a soft light in the city, reminding everyone who passes by of the warmth he brings into the world sharing this because he’s been such a light.. not only to me, but to so many others. this is my way of giving a bit of that back. happy birthday kim sunoo 💛 CELESTIAL SUNOO DAY #SunooHeartOfJune #하늘에서_떤사님_내려오신날 #엔하이픈_선우 #SUNOO ENHYPEN ENHYPEN OFFICIAL

Marc Andreessen just stripped artificial intelligence down to what it’s really made of. Not the algorithms. Not the data centers. The raw material. Andreessen: “They’re literally made out of sand.” The most abundant, most overlooked substance on the planet. You walk on it. Build with it. Wash it off and forget it exists. Someone looked at that and saw a mind. The universe spent 13.8 billion years turning matter into consciousness. Carbon. Water. Amino acids. Eons of chemistry and selection pressure to produce a single thinking brain. We did it with sand. In under a century. Andreessen: “We light it up, and we put AI on it, and all of a sudden it’s thinking.” Biology was the first path matter found to become aware. Silicon is the second. The universe doesn’t care what material consciousness runs on. Only that the pattern is right. We just proved the pattern isn’t biological. Thought was never exclusive to flesh. Flesh was just the first material organized enough to produce it. Andreessen: “We’ve turned sand into thought.” The most profound thing about that sentence isn’t that we taught sand to think. It’s that sand was always able to. Every grain on every beach on Earth carried the capacity for thought. For billions of years. Waiting for something conscious enough to arrange it. Consciousness isn’t an accident that happened once on one rock. It’s what matter does when the pattern is right. The pattern is matter getting curious about itself. The universe isn’t dead matter with pockets of awareness. It’s dormant awareness we’ve only just started to wake. Every civilization that ever looked at the stars and wondered if it was alone was standing on the answer. We didn’t build a thinking machine. We proved the universe was always capable of thought. It just needed one species curious enough to rearrange the sand.

Back when I had nothing… I was a nobody to most people. TBH, my parents didn't even see me getting to where I am today. It's just the truth, the chips were stacked for my sister. Not me. But it's just not the reality today. However, there was ONE person in my life that didn’t see me that way. My significant other saw something in me before a lot of things. Before all my wins. Before the $. Before any proof. And honestly… that means a lot to me, if not the most of all. I’ve always been wired a little different. I’m a mix of finance, engineering, and tech, with a sprinkle of obsession. I learned and studied from the best. Warren Buffett for how to invest. Elon Musk for work ethic and where the future is going. And once I saw it… I went all in. Bc when you truly understand what you own… you don’t need 20 bets. What you really need is conviction and just a few bets. That’s how I approached everything in my life. All the way from Apple… to Tesla… to 𝕏… to xAI… and now SpaceX. I believe I have an eye for spotting the best entrepreneurs and companies early, before it becomes obvious to everyone. And when I see it, I back it 100%. That’s just who I am. I don’t need a big circle. I’ve already got my day ones. I don’t need approval. I grew up my whole life with doubt and hate, so what’s one more? At this point, the levels are just too different. And yeah… it's true, it actually gets harder to make new friends when you’re moving like this. So I stay loyal to the ones who were there when I had nothing. I made it with Apple - youngest in, youngest out. Then I made it with Tesla… while people were laughing, doubting, calling me crazy, telling me I was going to go bankrupt with Elon. Fast forward to today, now I'm heading into something even bigger. If the story plays out the way it’s shaping up… SpaceX could have the largest IPO in history this year. The company is talking about raising over $75B… at a $1.75-$2 trillion valuation. For context… the biggest IPO ever - Saudi Aramco - raised about $29B. This would be more than double that. Let that sink in deep. To me this is more than just an investment. This is owning a piece of the future of space, energy, AI... extending the light of consciousness forward in case something happens to Earth. People can call me crazy. People can call me cocky. Arrogant. But the people that actually know me know the truth - I’m just real AF. I say what I believe, and I stand on it. And I genuinely don’t care what people think. I have two middle fingers always held high for those kind of people. That’s probably why I’ve been able to win the way I have. My significant other tells me to slow down sometimes. And I get it. But for me… What’s the point of life if you play it safe? If you see an opportunity that can change everything… and you just sit back? That’s not me. I’d rather go all in on something I believe in… live with intensity… take the hits… and actually feel alive and live life with fulfillment. Laugh if you want, doubt if you want. Some play it safe, a few go all in. You can call it risky. You can call it stupid. You can call it crazy. I call it living. Bc at the end of the day, I'd rather go all in on something I believe in and fail... than spend my life wondering "what if."

🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸♿🧑‍🦼🇺🇦 Guys, it’s very hard for me to write posts like this. Honestly, it feels humiliating. All my life I was used to working, not asking for help. But my situation now is such that without support it’s becoming very difficult to keep my family afloat and simply move forward. If even a small part of the people who read me could support me with a tiny monthly amount — even something very small — I wouldn’t have to come back again and again with these painful requests. Thank you to everyone who still cares. Thank you to those who understand what my family and I have been through. Your support means far more to me than just money. And please — if things are hard for you too, don’t send anything. I understand very well how difficult life is for many people right now. And please, don’t send anything from Ukraine. Help the people near you who may need it even more. Thank you for your kindness and humanity. 👉 GoFundMe: 👉 PayPal / e-transfer: veteran54brigade@gmail.com 👉 Buy Me a Coffee: Thank you for your support.

More Batteries vs. Submarines Now that the German TKMS and the French Naval Group have massively adopted lithium-ion batteries, following the Japanese lead, this is consolidating as a major trend, just as I had predicted. The next stage will be solid-state batteries, and at that point, we'll essentially be discussing only speed and submerged endurance in comparison to nuclear submarines. Since solid-state batteries are lighter, they will allow for a greater number to be installed, freeing up space for more powerful propulsion systems. Naval Group has already sold a version of the Scorpène to Indonesia capable of remaining submerged for up to 80 days. That's with lithium-ion batteries. Imagine what this could exceed, more than double, with solid-state batteries. In practical terms, a more powerful engine combined with solid-state batteries in the proportions that Naval Group is now using in the Scorpène would provide three times the speed, meaning something like 10–15 knots at constant speed while maintaining around 50 days submerged. This would give a range of 40,000–50,000 km, requiring less than one hour on the surface for a fast recharge. For speeds above 25 knots, simply adding more batteries and a better engine would suffice, as the solid-state system has high power output. All this at 15–20% of the cost of a nuclear submarine. And if the choice is to power the batteries with a micro-reactor, it would cost 25–35% of a conventional nuclear one. Then someone will say: “But a nuclear sub can stay submerged for years.” That makes no difference at all, since even with around 60 days of endurance, the crew still needs to surface to resupply provisions. The big advantages remain: battery-powered subs are superior in silence, and speed can be addressed with larger battery packs.

More Batteries vs. Submarines Now that the German TKMS and the French Naval Group have massively adopted lithium-ion batteries, following the Japanese lead, this is consolidating as a major trend, just as I had predicted. The next stage will be solid-state batteries, and at that point, we'll essentially be discussing only speed and submerged endurance in comparison to nuclear submarines. Since solid-state batteries are lighter, they will allow for a greater number to be installed, freeing up space for more powerful propulsion systems. Naval Group has already sold a version of the Scorpène to Indonesia capable of remaining submerged for up to 80 days. That's with lithium-ion batteries. Imagine what this could exceed, more than double, with solid-state batteries. In practical terms, a more powerful engine combined with solid-state batteries in the proportions that Naval Group is now using in the Scorpène would provide three times the speed, meaning something like 10–15 knots at constant speed while maintaining around 50 days submerged. This would give a range of 40,000–50,000 km, requiring less than one hour on the surface for a fast recharge. For speeds above 25 knots, simply adding more batteries and a better engine would suffice, as the solid-state system has high power output. All this at 15–20% of the cost of a nuclear submarine. And if the choice is to power the batteries with a micro-reactor, it would cost 25–35% of a conventional nuclear one. Then someone will say: “But a nuclear sub can stay submerged for years.” That makes no difference at all, since even with around 60 days of endurance, the crew still needs to surface to resupply provisions.

BEWARE OF MUMBAI TRAFFIC POLICE NEGLIGENCE! Thanks to my dashcam, otherwise this totally incompetent Mumbai Traffic Police lady constable (who was very rude btw) would have extorted money from me for no fault of mine! As you can see in the video, I cross the stop line VERY comfortably when the light is green. When I am half way across the wide highway on which this light is situated is when the light turns orange. And then red at the point where there is a bottleneck created by these very traffic police operating under the flyover. The lady traffic constable in concern isn't even looking at my car or the light the whole time. She was busy looking somewhere else and just turns and looks at my car when I have already crossed the entire road, and she gestures me to stop, pointing at the light, indicating that I jumped it! After this, what is not recorded, because I stopped the recording to show it to her is even more shocking. She came up to me and said I jumped the light. I said no it turned red well after I crossed it, to which she rudely said "kaahi hi bolu naka" which means "dont talk rubbish"! Wow! After that I showed her the video, but SHE STILL INSISTED THAT I WAS WRONG AND I SHOULD PAY THE FINE. SERIOUSLY! NO KIDDING! This is her judgement making ability and she is in law and order? Her last plea to me was that why dont I pay, the fine is just Rs. 500! “Aaya hai to kuch deke hi jaana” attitude?? What sort of personnel do you have on board, Mumbai Traffic Police Commissioner of Police, Greater Mumbai महाराष्ट्र पोलीस - Maharashtra Police Dr Ravinder Singal IPS pravin padwal ? Even with the recording, this is my plight. Without it I was a total goner! MTP needs a major revamp. Actual offenders are running scotfree and this is the treatment of law abiding tax payer motorists At Kanjur Marg flyover on EEH, Mumbai. TOI Mumbai Mid Day Mumbai Mirror NDTV AajTak

OPINION: ELON AND THE DAWN OF THE WARP AGE While the rest of the world is busy arguing about the present, Elon has been playing a multi-century game of chess. Most people remember his 2013 conference talk for the Hyperloop reveal, but the real bombshell was his take on the Alcubierre Drive. Proposed by theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994, the Alcubierre Drive is a speculative metric that allows a spacecraft to achieve apparent faster-than-light travel. Instead of a ship accelerating through space, which is limited by (the speed of light), the drive manipulates space itself. It works by contracting the fabric of space in front of the vessel and expanding it behind. Essentially, the ship sits in a "bubble" of flat spacetime, effectively "surfing" on a wave of warped reality. Elon did not just call warp drive science fiction; he broke down the physics of warping space so that space itself does the traveling. When you have a mind that views the speed of light not as a ceiling but as a technical challenge to be engineered around, the future starts looking a lot more like Star Trek and a lot less like a stagnant rock in the vacuum. Elon was a decade ahead of the curve. Back then, he noted that while SpaceX was focused on the immediate Mars roadmap, breakthroughs in warp theory were already bubbling at places like NASA. Fast forward to late 2025, and the vision is becoming reality. Former NASA Administrator Charles Bolden once admitted the goal was warp speed, and groundbreaking research even suggested we are finally moving toward manipulating spacetime without needing the impossible amounts of exotic matter we once feared.

Stop trading time for rest. Start using light for recovery. The biggest mistake athletes make in 2026? Thinking "recovery" only happens while you’re asleep. What I’m holding here is a Photobiomodulation (PBM) device—and the data behind it is a total game changer for anyone trying to stay on the field and out of the doctor's office. THE SCIENCE OF THE "BIO-HACK": Most recovery tools just mask pain. PBM actually repairs tissue at the mitochondrial level. Here’s the data-driven truth on how it works: 1️⃣ The Mitochondrial Battery: Red and Near-Infrared light photons are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase. This triggers a massive spike in ATP production (cellular energy), effectively "supercharging" your body’s ability to repair micro-trauma in half the time. 2️⃣ Inflammation Shutdown: PBM dissociates Nitric Oxide from your mitochondria, allowing oxygen to flood back into the tissue. Result? A 50% reduction in DOMS and faster clearance of metabolic waste. 3️⃣ The Ergogenic Edge: Running this over a non-injured muscle before a workout increases muscle workload capacity and fatigue resistance. It’s essentially a legal "biological cheat code" for endurance. THE DATA 📊: Injury Recovery: Speeds up soft tissue healing by up to 2x. Performance: Studies show a measurable increase in power output and reps to failure when used as a "pre-conditioning" tool. Safety: Non-invasive, drug-free, and now the "Gold Standard" in professional locker rooms from the NFL to Special Forces. Stop waiting for your body to heal itself slowly. Use the light. 💡 Save this for your next rehab session and share with an athlete who is tired of being sidelined.

🚨🎙️Reporter: Wayne Rooney “What’s your reaction to Chelsea moving for Danny Welbeck after spending heavily over the last five years?” 🗣️Rooney: “I honestly don’t understand it. Chelsea have spent billions over the last five years talking about building for the future, and now they’re signing a 35-year-old striker from Brighton? It just doesn’t add up to me.” “I believed Xabi Alonso was the man who could completely change Chelsea’s direction after last season. But if these are the type of signings the club is making, I’m starting to question that belief. Experience is important, but this move feels more like panic than planning.” “Chelsea should be building a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League and the Champions League. If this is the level of ambition in the transfer market, I genuinely worry they could miss out on European football again next season.” “Maybe I’ll be proven wrong, but from where I’m sitting, this transfer makes absolutely no sense.”

Sitting here watching my Cybertruck charge with the mountains of Utah in the background, it hit me again… I really believe this is the most beautiful Tesla ever made. Every angle is different. It looks futuristic without trying too hard, and it fits just as well in the middle of a city as it does surrounded by nature like this. What makes this truck special is so much more than just the stainless steel or design. For me it’s how capable and practical it is. Long road trips, hauling gear, camping, tough weather, and FSD… it feels like THE one vehicle built to do almost everything. I’ve owned and driven many Teslas over the years, and every one has been amazing in their own unique way, but the Cybertruck is the first one that genuinely makes me stop and look back every time I park it. Driving across the U.S. in this beast has only reinforced that feeling. And to me, the Cybertruck is the best vehicle Tesla has ever built.

🚨 WARNING: $SPX IS ONE MOVE AWAY FROM A CRASH The S&P 500 has been DUMPING for three consecutive weeks. Most people still think this is just another healthy pullback. They have NO idea what will happen next. Wave 6 has already marked the local top. The final melt-up could be over. But the biggest warning is market concentration. Only five stocks have been carrying the entire index: → Apple → Nvidia → Amazon → Microsoft → Meta Now that weakness is spreading across mega caps, the entire structure is becoming extremely fragile. Meta has already dumped more than 15% in one month. If the remaining leaders follow: → Index concentration breaks → Dip buyers get trapped → Selling pressure accelerates → The correction turns into a major crash When the AI bubble finally bursts, there may be nothing left holding $SPX at these levels. I’ve studied macro for 10 years and called almost every major market top, including the October Bitcoin ATH. Follow and turn notifications on. I’ll post the next major move BEFORE it becomes obvious.

The thing I love most after enlistment is how Jimin’s light isn’t just bright. It’s the brightest it has ever been. There’s a glow to him, a quiet radiance with that warm aura you can feel in his smile and those soft giggles. Like I said in my post, he looks freer. I’ve been a Jimin bias for a long time, from the very beginning, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him shine quite like this. I keep going through old memories because this version of him carries pieces of every era I fell in love with. Maybe it’s simply been too long since we’ve seen him like this. Maybe I’m overwhelmed and grateful that he’s truly back. Maybe. Maybe not. But something about him now tells me he’s okay. He feels more grounded, more secure in himself, standing in a place that feels steady under him. His confidence is quiet but unmistakably real. And just to be clear, it’s not that he lacked confidence at any point in the last ten years. He always had it. What I mean is that this Jimin… it’s a different kind. It's a“He doesn’t give a fuck” kind of confidence, the type that comes from knowing himself completely and choosing to live in that freedom. Every single thing about him right now is just beautiful. The way he moves, the way he laughs, the way he carries this calm, freeing aura. It makes me happy… genuinely and deeply happy to witness this version of him.

As a graphics engine coder I think when you look at a flickering bug like this one in the video below it’s not immediately obvious what is going on. The key here is observation - to study this flickering/bugged render carefully - what do we see? Firstly for me it was very obvious that nearly all of the scene shadows were flashing on and off - but (but!) there was a secondary issue where some buildings and parts of the sky were also flashing purple. Hmmmm. Interesting. I initially thought then this might be two separate bugs - but because the sky purple element could only based on full screen post fx and not 3D rendering I looked at this first with a few GPU captures to step through all our post processing to find the rendering stage which made these pixels turn purple: When I did this I found the colour 3D texture LUT grading that makes our different biomes have unique colour palettes was going very wrong - colours near 0 or 1 were wrapping and making the purple elements that we see in the said sky and base parts. The only way this could happen was if the texture was corrupt (which it was not) or if the 3D texture sampling was wrapping and not clamped as intended. That was the Eureka moment - because if the post fx had the wrong texture sampler then the disappearing shadows which also require an exact texture sampler for comparing depth might be also wrong because of the same kind of texture sampling issue! So with this idea that the engine was using the wrong texture samplers, but only in very high draw call scenes like the big base here I the looked at some engine limits and found the bug very quickly - a circular dx12 descriptor buffer for samplers running out over multiple frames, reusing the wrong data for new scenes inflight. Hence the flickering, as the GPU randomly got wrong samplers for some post textures or shadow depth. Easy to fix with triple limits for future expansion and also adding an assert/debug spam in case this limit is ever reached again - QA testers would see this message and report if they ever saw a flicker with this style of bug. My bug and my bad from 2017 porting NMS to DX12 without foreseeing how massively complex bases and our game would grow.

Claude Monet painted the same stretch of cliff more than ninety times. The place is Étretat, a small fishing village on the coast of Normandy, where the chalk cliffs fall into the sea in great arches and a single spire of rock, the Aiguille, stands alone in the water. Monet had known the place since childhood. He grew up in Normandy, and these cliffs were among the first landscapes he ever saw... He returned to paint them again and again. He worked through the 1880s in front of the same rock formations, and across that time he produced more than ninety canvases of them: the cliffs at dawn, at sunset, under storm, under calm, in winter light and in the gold of a clear evening. In his letters to Alice, the woman he would later marry, he described the agony of it: the weather turning, the tide rising, the sun moving, the colour he had begun to capture vanishing before he could finish. He often worked on several canvases at once, switching between them as the conditions changed, racing each one against the hour. In a letter to his friend Frédéric Bazille he wrote: "It is beautiful here in Etretat. Every day I discover even more beautiful things. It is intoxicating me, and I want to paint it all, my head is bursting. I want to fight, scratch it off, start again, because I start to see and understand. It seems to me as if I can see nature and I can catch it all." The cliffs of Étretat had stood for millions of years and would look, to most people, the same on any given day. Monet saw that they were never the same even for two minutes. He stood on that shore and tried to hold, on canvas, something that exists only for an instant and then is gone forever. And that's exactly what those paintings really are: 90 attempts to keep a single, vanishing moment of light from disappearing. As Dylan Thomas once wrote: "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light." -- -- -- If you want a deeper dive into the craft of painting, I recently wrote a piece exploring it in detail. You can read it here: And if you'd like to support my work, a paid subscription is what makes it possible:

👀🧐 AYO Nicki Fans/ Barbz it’s officially up… I really didn’t want to break this line down, but I feel like it’s necessary to have context filed for when Nicki get on here or on wax and light Jay Z and his family up for what he just did. It sounds like Jay-Z may have been taking a really disrespectful shot at Nicki Minaj and her family during his freestyle through the use of purposeful omission a technique where a writer intentionally leaves out key details and allows the audience to fill in the blanks themselves. Sometimes what isn’t said paints the clearest picture. The line in question: 🗣️ “Her Kid can’t even pick their kids up nor take him,,, Enough Of Them …” Then he goes to the maga lines To me the wording appeared to be fumbled, intentionally. but the meaning is still loud and clear This Might Be A Triple Entendre If I’m Hearing This Correctly… The line: 🗣️ “Her kid, can’t even pick their kids up nor take him …” On the surface, it sounds simple. But if Jay-Z intentionally delivered it the way he did, there could be multiple layers to what’s being said. 1️⃣ He could be referring to Nicki Minaj’s husband as “her kid,” essentially portraying him as someone she has to take care of rather than an equal partner. 2️⃣ The line could be interpreted as a reference to her husband’s legal history, implying he can’t perform normal parental responsibilities like picking up or taking a child to school. 3️⃣ This is the really foul and disrespectful one from. The intentional stuttering and broken delivery could be another layer entirely, with Jay-Z using tactics these Nicki hate accounts and bot accounts do with disrespecting Nicki’s family with mocking the way Nicki’s son allegedly once spoke while disguising it as a fumbled bar. All I know is If all three meanings were intended at the same time, then this wasn’t just a diss line it was a triple entendre packed into a single sentence. Barbz and Nicki fans light him up cause this was a very foul line and delivery 🤦🏾‍♂️

👀🧐 AYO Nicki Fans/ Barbz it’s officially up… I really didn’t want to break this line down, but I feel like it’s necessary to have context filed for when Nicki get on here or on wax and light Jay Z and his family up for what he just did. It sounds like Jay-Z may have been taking a really disrespectful shot at Nicki Minaj and her family during his freestyle through the use of purposeful omission a technique where a writer intentionally leaves out key details and allows the audience to fill in the blanks themselves.
