$I am having a lot of fun with this ThreeJS game. Will probably be spending more time on this cosy flyer game for #vibejam And btw, shaders are awesome! I highly recommend anyone building a 3D game to add some shaders to make your game look good. Here's a quick primer on the different types of shaders you can tell your AI to level up your game's graphics: - Noise-based shader for water refractions or shimmer - Fresnel shader for a nice rim lighting effect on your 3D game objects - Post-processing shader to change your game's color scheme dynamically - Post-processing shaders like the VHS effect that @levelsio use for the Drone flyer game - Shader effect to make the trees sway or objects wobble - and many more uses Shaders are incredibly versatile and useful. I would recommend you to go YT to check out some shader basics videos and come up with more creative uses for them!$

For those young people brainwashed by their older leadership: It’s not British protectorate— it was British protectorates (plural). Any secessionist must be asked: which protectorate are you referring to, among the six of which warsangali and Gudabiiri are not among secessionist. The misled young Somali people in the northwestern secessionist region of Somalia should be educated and made aware of the facts so they can shape their future based on reality, not delusion.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on what customers actually want, the real business of frontier labs, and the importance of open source models: “What the technical customers want is control over their compute, their models, their data stack, and their alpha. They want to know they own the means of production, and it's not being transferred to someone else.” "Who owns the data? Are the prompts secure? Is this being transferred to you?" "If it was so valuable, and I can make you a billion dollars, wouldn't I say I'll make you a billion dollars and I want 30%? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?"

Live Link: Source Code: While updating my website, I found an old project that was broken and decided to bring it back to life using WebGPU + TSL in #threejs. I’ve always loved Predator. The first time I saw the Predator cloak effect, I knew I wanted to learn visual effects and make them part of my professional life. Turn the sound on — it makes the experience much more fun 😅 This is also a great exercise if you’re learning TSL and want to experiment with glass, dispersion, IOR, and custom shaders. Both the classic shader version and the new TSL version are included in the repo so you can compare the approaches side by side. Hope it’s useful. Don’t forget to ⭐ the GitHub repo! #r3f #threejsJourney

French President Macron: I do believe in free speech. But what does it mean? Free speech means I will listen to you, you will listen to me, and we are in an equal relationship. A lot of people defending free speech do it based on algorithms without any transparency, with a lot of bias, and with their own political agenda. It's not free speech. And when people clearly help hate speech, racist speech to be spread all over the place, it's not about free speech. It's a jungle. I really believe in free speech based on respect and transparency.

gm Quick preview of the website. What are NORMIES? I came up with an idea of creating unique pixel art. They are not pixel perfect or trait based generation. Basically algorithm creates AI images, and turn them into pixel art in a 40x40 canvas. Outputs are SVG (file size 5-20 bytes), which i plan to make this collection fully on-chain on ethereum mainnet. NORMIES have attributes, traits but each trait is in different shape, so all NORMIES are 1/1. Supply, mint date, mint price TBA In few days i will share the website, so you can play with it, create your NORMIES until minting.

🔥🔥HUGH FIRES EVERYWHERE🔥 DERIVATIVES OVER LEVERAGE RISK🔥🔥💣💣🔥🔥 The system is at capacity IMO. When you see numbers in the high Trillions and Quadrillions and add huge amounts of leverage the system is not in good shape. Gold and Silver are not going up the system is failing. The system is backed by trust only. TRUST IS BROKEN. Suppressing the price of Precious Metals is an illusion it's not based on supply and demand it's based on how much paper can we throw at the Metals to hold them down. This is a pressure cooker MARKET MANIPULATION IN EVERY MARKET

Joe Rogan: “I think there's more politically homeless people now than ever.” “They're gonna side with one side or the other based on their opinion about Donald Trump.” “Both teams are filled with scoundrels. You go far enough to the left and far enough to the right, you have the same kind of monster that's just adopted a different ideology.” “Anybody can join the left and anybody can join the right, and there's a lot of mentally ill people out there.”

Are you thinking about running an experiment to study racial discrimination? Are you going to use names to signal race? If so, I have a new tool for you! [link below] This tool helps you to choose the names you want to use in your study based on... 1.) the strength of the racial signal you want to send 2.) whether you want to hold other factors (e.g., class) constant In the past, names have been chosen in an ad hoc basis. We're trying to add the heft of name pre-testing to the study of racial discrimination.

Code and data are now online for CameraHMR, our state-of-the-art parametric 3D human pose and shape (HPS) estimation method that will appear at hashtag#3DV2025. There are 4 key contributions that make it so accurate and robust: 1. To get accurate 3D shape and pose as well as good alignment to image features, you need to know the focal length of the camera. To solve this, we train HumanFOV to compute the field of view. 2. We introduce CameraHMR, which integrates HumanFOV into HMR2.0 to exploit the estimated focal length. 3. To get accurate pseudo ground truth (pGT) training data, we compute the focal length for images in 4DHumans dataset and modify SMPLify to take this into account. 4. But SMPLify only uses sparse 2D keypoints, which do not capture body shape. So we train a dense surface keypoint detector, DenseKP, on BEDLAM and run it on 4DHumans, resulting in improved body shape. The resulting method is CamSMPLify. We iterate training CameraHMR and running CamSMPLify on the training set initialized with CameraHMR. This results in much improved pGT for 4DHumans and a SOTA single-image HMR method.

🥵 It's so hot in Poland that people are frying eggs outdoors In Warsaw, a woman left a frying pan in the sun and, after a while, cooked an egg on it. Poland is in the grip of an extreme heatwave, with temperatures approaching 40°C in some areas. On the bright side, you can save on electricity and cook breakfast right on your balcony.

Have you ever wanted your terminal to look like an authentic CRT? Of course you have. Well, LOOK NO FURTHER because the future (or is it the past?) is now. And people ask why you'd ever need a GPU-rendered terminal.... HAH! My yak has no more hair to shave. This demo is crazier than it seems: you can actually specify any custom shader, and the shader API is compatible with ShaderToy, so you can take any off-the-shelf shader from ShaderToy and this works. The tech behind this is super over the top. Ghostty is cross-platform and uses Metal directly on macOS and OpenGL on Linux. Metal and OpenGL use different shading languages. No problem! You specify the custom shader in GLSL (OpenGL language) and it’s automatically translated to SPIR-V (binary IR) then automatically translated to MSL (Metal language). That all happens at runtime because why not. Yeah but this has to kill your battery right? Nope! <1% CPU and <1% GPU because computers are fast (especially when you're working at a relatively low level).

Totally unrelated to trading but I am running an 8 week fitness challenge inside of my discord and anyone is allowed to participate. The best 8 - week transformations will get free yearly memberships. We have to level up in every realm of human endeavour: financially, physically, mentally and spiritually. We are already doing consistent meditations so now because summer is right around the corner I thought it is the perfect time to start a fitness challenge. To participate simply following the link below and comment ‘JOIN’ in the general-daily chat If you are reading this and you are out of shape, get your ass in there.

I've spent years carefully tiptoeing around white fragility on the right, but it's time to move on. Some of these people are completely falling apart and are exhibiting left-wing behaviour by embracing identity politics and pathetic, unfounded grievances based on racial hatred. Even people I've highly respected in the past are now outright racists, no longer standing firm on the principles or values that once defined conservatism and the right. They remind me of the same behaviours exhibited by delusional racists in the developing world, who have held these nations back from achieving greatness by bending the knee to identitarian nonsense. What's most concerning for me is that this weakness on the right driven by these emotional, ego-fuelled victim is being exploited by the left, and even more so by immigrant groups with agendas that do not align with the West. These groups have powerful allies across all areas of our society, most prominently the majority of other white people. I've always been concerned about these immigrant groups and their embrace of far-left ideology. We need to challenge their growing power and influence in a meaningful way, because it's clear they are in control but it's also clear to me that the number of people on the right who are willing to do so as a unified bloc is shrinking.

I explain how rightists justify calls for repression and violence. 1) Go to social media and find the most obscure people celebrating violence. Say that this is "the left." 2) Say "the left" wants you dead, blaming the entire Democratic Party Literally not a single Democrat is celebrating the Kirk assassination. It's complete wishcasting on the right. They're radicalizing their followers based on an inaccurate view of their opponents that fits with a victimization narrative. Meanwhile, the most prominent people on their side start indulging in conspiracy theories and gleefully sharing memes after Pelosi's husband is attacked in his home. The hypocrisy here is overwhelming. They get off on the idea of "civil war" and collapse and invent the reality they want to see. They imagine Democrats are like themselves, when they're not.

Launched at the end of March as a fun side project. A few months later: • 60,000+ people have tried Ascii Magic • 300,000+ views in a single day • Consistently ~1,000 impressions/day from Google • Completely blew through my Vercel and database limits within the first few weeks. The funny part? I didn't do any SEO. I didn't make fancy launch videos. I didn't run ads. I didn't even promote it to my 100k Instagram audience. Almost all of the growth came from posting simple screen recordings on Twitter. To me it's truly a sign of a product that people find genuinely useful. I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who has used, shared, and supported the project so far. But this is just the beginning. Over the next few months, I'm going all-in on two things: 1. SEO 2. Product quality and scale Ascii Magic has already evolved beyond being "just an ASCII generator." It's becoming a playground for image effects, shaders, creative experiments, and visual transformations. The vision is much bigger than where it started. My goal is simple: Make it the easiest place on the internet to create unique visual effects. As for monetization, it was never the goal. Even now I'm bootstrapping and bearing project cost. That will continue. If a paid tier arrives in the future, it'll be because the product has reached a scale where infrastructure costs need support and it'll come with a very generous free tier. For now, I'm focused on building. Thank you for being part of the journey. Keep sharing your creations, I love seeing them. The next chapter is going to be fun. Thanks, Kailash
