Hammer a nail into a tree, and it will get stuck. So why doesn't the same thing happen to the sharp beaks of woodpeckers? Scientists may finally have the answer. In a 2021 study, researchers took high-speed videos of two black woodpeckers pecking away at hardwood trunks in zoos... show more

The kids took the golf cart out and got stuck in a little embankment at the park, the cops arrive because someone apparently doesn’t like to see kids have fun and called them. The dad seems confident they won’t get into trouble and even tells them to run away in a jokingly way. Do you feel he should be encouraging kids to be fearful of the police?

From International Space Station, we have a unique vantage point to observe lightning storms from directly above them. Much like from the ground, they appear as rapid, intense flashes that are over as quickly as they started. But, with the help of handheld cameras and a bit of practice (and, admittedly, some luck), we can capture these intense flashes with a very high frame rate then slow them down to see how the lightning propagates. It's lightning, in slow motion. This is one that occurred over Indonesia on 6/28. I shot it for a half second at 1/120 frame rate, so, 60 separate frames. I then compiled those frames into two videos: the first, in real-time, and the second, slowed down so that each frame is a half second to highlight the progression of the flash. Note the incredible burst of light in one frame, which includes what is likely a TLE on the upper left. A TLE, or Transient Luminous Event, is an electrical discharge that happens in the upper atmosphere above lightning storms (if you haven’t seen Nichole “Vapor” Ayers TLE photo from last week, head over to her page). As their name implies, these are transient, or short lived, phenomena – it appeared in only one frame of the sequence, lasting for no more than 1/120th of a second. The last photo is that single frame. Absolutely incredible.

This angle offers a terrific perspective of hip shoulder separation in pitching. The ability to move the lower body independently of the upper body is such an important skill for rotational athletes. 🎥: Ben Brewster

The Figma glass teaser and launch videos were made entirely with a series of screen recordings using with CleanShot for mac. For the teaser, I took the UI component, masked it and just resized and moved the mask around the screen in tandem with the glass frame. Noah Levin suggested we tease the light direction icon. It took a few tries to get just right, and in one take. 😅

This guy built a visual scanner that reads 468 points on his face and 42 points on his hands from a regular webcam and turns them into a cloud of thousands of particles right between his palms. Inside, MediaPipe and TouchDesigner are linked: the first captures hands and face from the webcam with high accuracy, the second turns those coordinates into a live plane and feeds it into a POP system that instantly generates a swarm of particles in the shape of a head. No studio, no render farmer, no VR headset. Just a laptop, a webcam, and 1 TouchDesigner session. And traditional VJ studios keep teams of 5 people on a setup with lighting, custom hardware, and commercial plugins, while his expenses are only a TouchDesigner subscription and a regular USB camera. One laptop runs MediaPipe and TouchDesigner simultaneously, holds the camera stream at 60 FPS without drops, and in parallel processes 468 face points + 21 points on each hand. The camera captures frame after frame, MediaPipe in real time sends TouchDesigner the finger coordinates and face geometry, and the POP operator inside the engine translates those numbers into thousands of particle points with colors from bright pink to gold. This setup immediately defines the role of the tool and the limits of its autonomy. It knows where the fingertips are at every moment of the frame. It knows how to read the face geometry at any angle to the camera. It knows how to draw a swarm of particles between them with the right color and contour. → MediaPipe pulls 468 points from the face and 21 points from each hand, 60 times per second → TouchDesigner receives those coordinates, builds a virtual rectangle between the fingertips, and feeds it into the POP system → POP generates thousands of particle points in the shape of a head, coloring them in a gradient from bright pink to gold → The HUD layer adds green corners and a blue neon frame, styling the image like an AR interface → All layers assemble into 1 real-time frame that projects back onto the video in the camera window → The final image is recorded to a file or broadcast to a projector for a live installation And only when the guy spreads his hands wider does the plane between the palms stretch; brings them together, it narrows. Otherwise the system runs on its own. And when he moves from his home room to a concert hall, the same laptop with the same webcam launches the same TouchDesigner session in just 5 minutes, without reconfiguration, without a new team, and without a single line of new code. In his work setup there is no studio of his own and no team for assembly. On the desk sits a laptop with a webcam, on top run MediaPipe and TouchDesigner with POP operators, and the same setup through a USB camera moves to any concert without a new configuration. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest Creative Coding setup on 1 laptop: 0 render farms, 0 studio lighting, and between them 3 libraries, thousands of particle points, and 1 webcam.

Once again, the Black Skimmer is demonstrating the wonders of aerodynamics. Each twist of the body, each individual feather helping steer while a wall of crashing white water rumbles just behind the bird’s outstretched tail. Like a surgeon’s scalpel, the bird’s lower beak surgically slices through the water with utmost care and precision in hopes of coming into contact with a poor, unsuspecting fish. This attempt might have been unsuccessful, but it doesn’t seem like the bird has a care in the world. It just keeps skimming through the shallows, waiting for that tasty morsel to graze its outstretched beak. So remember, when failure raises its head and stares you in the eye. Just keep skimming because eventually you’ll succeed just like the magical Black Skimmer.

We spent the morning sitting in the garden doing some birdwatching. ☀️ We saw two great spotted woodpeckers, a blue tit feeding her chicks in the tree, and a pair of wood pigeons mating. Ajax is learning a lot!

A poultry vision blocking cap is a device fitted to a chicken's beak to block its forward vision. By preventing the bird from seeing what is directly in front of it, the device helps control cannibalism and aggressive pecking. [📹 discover.agriculture]

Generative 3d environments just became a thing with the announcement of OpenAI's new video model, Sora. Michael Rublof from took one of those videos, and turned it into a NeRF using Colmap and Nerfstudio. While people are laughing at the topology of generated models, the world is changing around us, and that's exciting and a little scary, but we'll find a way to turn Gen Ai into creative superpowers. I believe in human creativity, in our ability to surprise, to move, to change and to challenge. Here's to the future! #ai #art

Finally, $MOVE is now available again to Coinbase users across the world. So many users in the US have been asking us how and where they can trade MOVE, and the answer is Coinbase. You will see that MOVE has a “DEX” tag because we deployed on Aerodrome. Coinbase’s new policy towards the democratization of assets paved the path for us. Thank you to Brian Armstrong, jesse.base.eth and the Aerodrome team. We continue marching forward in the new era of Movement. Gmove to the believers.

Contact in the desert was the biggest ever this year and so was the sky watch. We witnessed dozens of orbs. With 5 minutes left before the hotel turned the lights on, I told more than a 1000k people present why pointing my laser in a certain direction that the phenomenon may give us a grand Finale and it may be an orb with wings. Within seconds a glowing orb with wings appeared and flew past the crowd. No it’s not a bird if you If you want to learn something about the phenomenon and 20 years of research with scientists and not speculation , join us on one of our adventures you will never be the same. We have this on several cameras from full spectrum to cell phones to Two types of night vision. Also scientists from NASA and Lockheed the NSA and The CIA were standing next to me during the filming of this orb and has witnessed this many times.
