Created a flag on the moon based with hyper-realistic physics with v0: The flag is simulated as a grid of particles connected by springs (cloth simulation). It's influenced by gravity, wind, air resistance. The initial approach v0 one-shotted was quite simplistic, but giving it references to more sophisticated approaches...

Sunday v0: a web-based 3D Jenga game. Everything is procedurally generated: the structure, the bricks, the wooden texture, the sounds, the carved-in ▲ on the top pieces. I tweaked the physics enough that it feels as fun and frustrating as the real thing 😂 Cool technical detail: v0 loaded a R3F (react-three-fiber) Skill automatically when I first asked for a 3d game. Anecdotally it seems that it totally nailed how to work with 3D!

I improved the VRChat cloth simulation, now it is actually rendered as a mesh and finally can handle self collision for proper folds. Also I moved the simulation to CRTs so it kinda works for non friends(the simulation is on the avatar!). But the collision still requires cameras.

"Chimes" Behind the scenes. It took around 120h to make, additionally, I spent a lot of time solving/testing cloth and hair simulation physics (it was something I had no experience with before).

I was trying to find the Babymetal video on CNN that was mentioned on Reddit for quite a while, and I managed to find it on CNN J. As you can see, it has the audio dubbed in Japanese, but you can still understand it in both languages. #Babymetal #CNN #TheBrief

Dwyane Wade admits it was ‘childish’ of him and LeBron to mock Dirk for being sick in the 2011 finals 😬 “That moment with Dirk was childish. It was a childish moment that was caught on tape. It was a moment of us saying to the cameras ‘stop giving them excuses.’ It was like oh it’s another excuse, he’s now sick? Everyone is dealing with something but it because some bulletin board info for the team and for Dirk. You don’t want to give a team nothing extra. You’re already in the finals and already a very good team, and we did. Just added a little more juice to the series” (Via Zach Lowe / DWade)

Steph on the moment he shared with Steve Kerr: "I was kinda fighting it to be honest. For it to start with that conversation and that moment, it was definitely weird. We're human beings and we have to be able to acknowledge each other in that moment, but I don't know if that's a signal of anything"

Sam Altman on GPT 5: "This morning I was testing our new model and I got a question. I got emailed a question that I didn't quite understand. And I put it in the model, this is GPT-5, and it answered it perfectly. And I really kind of sat back in my chair and I was just like, oh man, here it is moment... I felt like useless relative to the AI in this thing that I felt like I should have been able to do and I couldn't. It was really hard. But the AI just did it like that. It was a weird feeling."

Mike Malott shares details of having the Canadian flag taken away from him after his win in Winnipeg: “I went to lift the flag, and I don’t know if it was a commission guy or who it was, but he was like, ‘Oh, you’re not allowed to have it in the octagon.’ I said, ‘Can I jump up on the side?’ He said, ‘Sure.’ So I jumped up, and then I lifted the flag. As I was pulling it up, he snatched it out of my hand—did it all shitty. He snatched it and looked at me. I was like, ‘Dude, what the hell, man? One, don’t try to be a tough guy to me—I just fought in the cage. And number two, I don’t understand what the rule is that says I couldn’t have that flag. I walked out with it.’”

on how #jungwon started writing dear me: 😺 i once added a moon emoji to my wv profile, and that was actually from back when I was working on dear me. 😺 while i was out taking walks, i spent a lot of time looking up at the moon. 😺 the crescent moon caught my eye. sometimes it looked like it was smiling, and other times it looked like it was crying. but when I tried to zoom in to take a photo, it actually looked like a full moon. 😺 it made me realize that everything really depends on how you choose to give it meaning. that’s how i started writing the lyrics for dear me.

i watched gemma 4 12b build something genuinely impressive today, and then loop itself to death right in front of me. the full run is in the video, sped up but completely uncut, watch it to the end and you will catch the exact moment it stops building and starts looping right in the middle of the work. the task was clean, build a single file gravity simulator, n-body physics, orbits, collisions, running locally on one 3090 through an agent. and for ten minutes it was a joy to watch. it reached for a symplectic integrator on its own, the correct one, the kind that keeps orbits stable instead of spiralling out. real gravity with softening, proper orbital velocities, momentum conserved on collision. the physics was right. the thing actually worked. then on the very last step, writing a few tests to prove its own code, it fell into a loop. not a crash, a loop. it started repeating itself and would not stop. ten more minutes, thirty four thousand tokens into a single answer, the same fragments over and over, until i killed it myself. so it's not that gemma can't code. it did the hard part beautifully. it cannot finish. it cannot hold a long task together without unravelling, and finishing is the entire job in agentic work. here's the part that stings. i run this exact task, same harness, same card, on the chinese open models, qwen especially, and i never see this. they build it, they test it, they stop. every single time. google has the raw capability, you can see it sitting right there in the code, and then the model loops itself to death on a task a 27b from alibaba finishes clean. open weights, apache 2.0, so much to love on paper. i just need it to know when to stop talking.

Sora's videos look impressive, but physics understanding and consistancy is still not there yet. It was a quite simple script: "A humanoid robot standing near the table with red, green and blue cubes on it performs a cube stacking task, with red in the bottom and blue on the top." Pretty impressive that it still managed to achieve the goal, only not in a very usual way.

Vibe Coding 3D Garment Software with ThreeJS : A Small Step For Me So, after modeling the human i did what any reasonable vibe coder would do, i asked codex how to get clothes for my models After it was done running subliminal ad campaigns for Marvelous Designer and CLO 3D, i asked it to explain their architecture to me and adapt it to my threejs app. Guess what it did? You damn right, it built the most basic shit interpretation you can think of. And this is the average interaction the Anti-AI coders have until they conclude that AI is slop and/or it can only work if you micro manage it on every line of code. Well, eons of humanities knowledge are now packaged in tiny silicon and transferred across the globe in realtime, available on tap. So anyways i just iterated quite a lot over it, told it repeatedly why it was bad (the initial one used rapier physics and a naive cloth simulation) We found out together that: 1. A ground truth document model is needed 2. The visual mesh in 3D should be triangulated from the 2D shape 3. The physical object is running independently through different solvers: - A fast proxy which is generated by reading all the bones in runtime and just inflating these areas with spheres and capsules - A medium quality proxy which resamples the human model and creates a lower-poly mesh for simulations - Full mesh simulation (can't run it, every simulation tick takes about 5 minutes on my machine) It ended the session by telling me that this is still crap because it runs everything on CPU (thanks, not that i care, but i guess we'll be fixing that?) Oh yea also built a 2D canvas editor with boolean operations so i can build cool stuff like ponchos. It also allows me to mark stitches between two objects, which is how the shirt in the video pulls towards the other half. The garment's properties and materials are not yet exposed, yes i know it looks very stiff like a poncho made from a persian rug, we're working on it, okay? So, yea, tbh this is another endless rabbit hole, let's go i guess

🎉 All tests are passing for Next.js production builds. I asked v0 to visualize this quite literally monumental achievement by the team. 8294 tests passing. Turns out that doing realtime physical simulation over 8294 bodies is quite performance intensive. v0 implemented the same animation in 3 different physics engines (matter-js, planck.js, rapier) effortlessly. In three shots it did what would take a human hours or days. We settled on Rapier which was the fastest. There are many other cool details it nailed. I asked for the falling bodies to increase exponentially. It starts out with a few blocks, then more fall, then it's a torrent of blocks 😁 I'm very happy about our new Turbopack production builds foundation. At Ship we talked about its multi-core aspect, something Rust could give that JS couldn't for a compiler. `next build --turbopack` can actually use the full power of your computer, or your CI system. This has given Vercel single minute compiles on a gigantic codebase. Check it out here:

I lived in the US for a year back in 2003. Matrix Reloaded came out in May, and the hype around it was seriously insane, beyond imagination. In the movie, the main characters are using this super cool phone, and then in a close-up shot, I spotted the 'Samsung' logo right there on it. It felt absolutely mind-blowing and magical. I came back to Korea full of hope that this thing would actually go on sale worldwide. But later I found out it was only released in the US as a super limited edition of just 5,000 units (or so I heard back then). I was hugely disappointed… but eventually, I tracked one down and bought it from a collector. Even now, looking at it, the design is still so damn cool. I took it to a carrier to try using it for real, but they told me it’s a 2G phone and can’t be used anymore. That was another big letdown, I remember it clearly. Do you guys like the Matrix movies too? I’m a total huge fan!

This is one of the wildest things I have built with AI so far 😱 Asked Claude Fable 5 to create a fully interactive 3D crime investigation board using Three.js and it did it in ONE Prompt. It took one more prompt to give it a polished UI inspired by a reference design that I created with GPT Image. What surprised me most was not how it looked. It was how it worked. Fable built a complete Verlet rope physics system with 46 particles in every thread. It handled gravity, damping, distance constraints and all other features of file upload, text and everything. The threads/ropes even lift naturally with pinned evidence instead of clipping through it. I never asked it to implement any of that. I only described the experience I wanted. Maybe that's how we should work with AI. Instead of writing long long specs, we should explain what we want as an experience and let AI do its thing. Anyway, every day Fable 5 raises the bar for what I think AI can build. More to this Live: Code:

UGC is officially automated. And it’s mind-blowing. I just ran a test with Omneky that I still can't quite wrap my head around. I uploaded a single static product image of a sneaker. That was my only input. In return, the platform generated a full 26-second video featuring a realistic avatar. The Visuals: It created a lifelike presenter holding the exact shoe I uploaded, standing in a realistic environment. The Audio: It generated a complete voiceover script highlighting "all-day comfort" and style, perfectly lip-synced to the avatar. The Action: The avatar actually interacts with the product, gripping it and gesturing naturally while speaking. No casting, no shipping products to influencers, and no filming. It just took the image and brought it to life. This is a massive leap forward for scaling ad creative. #GenerativeAI #MarketingTech #Omneky #AdCreative #FutureOfWork

OTD 28 years ago "The Strike" aired, and the world learned about "Festivus." We spoke with Dan O'Keefe whose father created Festivus. Dan was Not a fan of the episode, did Not want the episode to air, and to him, Festivus brings back deep rooted trauma. Dan explains: The way people adopted it, I didn’t see that coming. You gotta understand, I’ve been saying this for a while, yeah, that was my father, he was mentally ill and a drunk, but extremely brilliant. For whatever reason he invented this weird fucking extra holiday that was celebrated at random times. It did not have a set date. It was extremely upsetting. It was like borderline child endangerment, and it was not fun. So my brothers and I had this deal: you do not talk about it outside of the house, and we just try to pretend it’s not happening. But I didn’t pitch it, I didn’t want it to go in. I hoped it would fail and be edited out, and nevertheless, the damn thing survived. The reality is far weirder. I have the CDs that were remastered from the cassette tapes my dad used to make during the annual recording of this insanity, which is mostly him screaming about internal Reader’s Digest politics in a deep slur while my brothers are crying and my mom is telling him to simmer down. That was not something I agitated for, quite the reverse. So how do I feel about it taking off? I try to block it out. This holiday was basically an encapsulation of alcoholism and mental illness into one neat little wrapper. I was as surprised as anyone. I was not a booster of this. I was surprised it got on the air. I am beyond surprised that it seems to be something that has, to some extent, legs. There are still a few people who celebrate it. Good for them. I do not personally. I did my time on that in the ’70s and ’80s. Jerry Stiller made it fun. The real thing was terrifying, obviously, and you understood why George was not in favor of it. But he made it fun, and it was Jeff Schaffer’s joke—the idea to give it a pole. That was not the case. The real symbology of it was more peculiar and not as wholesome as an aluminum pole with a good strength-to-weight ratio.
