Since Ori the Game was 2.5D it took us about 6 years to create an entirely new full 3D painting-come-to-life rendering pipeline capable of day and night cycles, dynamic weather, volumetrics, fully animated and interactive foliage and an Animal Crossing inspired curved-perspective rendering which allows seeing much further into the horizon. Genuinely couldn't be more proud with our Artists and Engineers at Moon Studios on No Rest for the Wicked! Now we just need to do our best to optimize it! :D

👻Remember the “Spirit of Anchorage” that Putin and Lavrov spoke about so warmly? Well, it seems to have evaporated in Washington The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a new Ukraine aid package and fresh sanctions on Russia. The bill passed 226–204, with 18 Republicans joining Democrats — meaning part of Trump’s own party broke ranks with its leadership. The package includes more than $1 billion in security assistance for Ukraine, up to $8 billion in defense loans, and tariffs of up to 500% on Russian goods. In practical terms, selling Russian products in the U.S. would become nearly pointless. But don’t pop the champagne just yet. The bill still has to pass the Senate, which is controlled by Republicans. As the Associated Press notes, without Trump’s personal approval, the legislation is likely to stall there. Even the bill’s authors barely hide the fact that the vote was meant as a signal: support for Ukraine in Congress is still very much alive. Whether that signal reaches its intended recipient is now up to one notoriously unpredictable man in the White House.

🚨 NOW THIS IS WHAT AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT! 20-year-old German soccer fan Freddie wraps up his U.S. tour with the ultimate VIP day: White House visit, Speaker Mike Johnson’s balcony, Washington Monument, tomahawk steaks, beef tallow fries, wings, and ice-cold domestic beer. He LOVES America. Loves Waffle House. Came here expecting the media lies, “dangerous, falling apart, Trump bad” and got the real thing instead. This is the feel-good story of the summer. Outsiders see what the socialist media tries to hide: America is STILL the greatest country on Earth! We want MORE Freddies, patriots who appreciate freedom, not the America-hating radicals trying to tear it down. Tomahawk and tallow fries in the house weekly? Hell yeah brother!

3D scanning and rendering is moving so fast - got my splats up and running and I'm mind blown getting ~100fps for this complex 3D scene ⬇️ 🤯 1. WAY faster than NeRF: For comparison, NeRFs would takes around 10 seconds per frame (!) Instead I'm zipping around with FPV controls without breaking a sweat - though I do crash a few times towards the end of the video lol 2. Old Meets New: Gaussian Splatting is cool in that it fuses classical graphics and deep learning techniques. Like NeRFs, this is still a radiance field - just without the slower (ne)ural rendering part. 3. Explicit Representation: Instead you represent a 3D scene as a collection of ellipsoidal "splats" called gaussians. Each gaussian has a position, size, and color. Rendering in real-time is done by projecting into the image plane and alpha blending. 4. Photorealistic Effects: Gaussian splatting use spherical harmonics to represent the view-dependent effects and lighting - allowing surfaces to change color when viewed from different angles, enabling greater photorealism. It doesn't use a neural network, but the training loop is similar to deep learning. 5. Enables Direct Editing: But it's not just speed - with Gaussian Splatting you also get 3D editing support! So you can select, move, and delete stuff, even relight stuff. This type of editing has been more tedious to do with NeRFs and their implicit black box representations. 📲 More tests cooking! Much more to unpack here including simpler explanations. If you enjoyed this post, you might enjoy my feed: Bilawal Sidhu

Because people genuinely still don't understand how long it takes to develop major features and entire new game modes: Gavin Winter (Senior Systems Designer OW) on Emongg's stream mentioned that there's been a whole separate team dedicated to making the new Stadium mode for "a lot of the time" Gavin has been at Blizzard. For context, Gavin has been at Blizzard for nearly 4 years. He also mentions that gameplay engineers have been working on Stadium "for the past few years". Stadium having been worked on for 3 years lines up with the timeline of Hero Missions being publicly announced to be cancelled in May 16th 2023, with strong rumours that indicate Hero Missions were internally scrapped at least a year before that. Meaning that if developers were reassigned from Hero Missions to Stadium in early 2022; it has now been 3 years almost exactly to the day - lining up with the timeline Gavin alluded to in his comments. People also need to remember it's been nearly a year and a half since the Diablo collaboration when we first got to see some of the early testing of perks/skill trees in gameplay publicly. We just didn't know what project we were publicly testing for until now. It makes sense to reassign developers and convert the work done on PvE into something more in line with the true direction of OW which is PvP game play. Stadium is the result of that, taking the best parts from the old Hero Missions project and transforming it into something else that works better for the current game. All of this to say; development doesn't happen in 2 months. To the dismay of the far too many people that somehow think it does.

NEW: King County leaders are allowing Unite HERE Local 8 and other far-left activists to use one of their buildings as home base to protest near the FIFA World Cup stadium in Seattle. The Trump hating anti-ICE hotel worker's union is fighting for better wages and conditions at Embassy Suites. It looks like they're teaming up with Kshama Sawant's people. More importantly, is the building being rented or being used for free? Either way, King County is now involved in helping disrupt the World Cup. This is self-inflicted stupidity.

There's been a few cool updates recently. In particular, Rerun 0.33 released headless rendering. This, along with the Fable 5 release pushed me to work torwards making MAMMA realtime! I threw Fable at the problem, and it was able to take original implementation that was ~12 seconds / frame and get it all the way down to 40ms /frame, or nearly a 300x speedup 🏎️ How did I achieve this? TLDR: - Use rerun's headless rendering as supervision when optimizing - Save rrd file as test fixture to guide model optiziation with /goal - create an html artifact with headless rendering to provide detailed breakdown of what it did and how it actually looks like in the viewer There were a few critical bits to make sure that this ACTUALLY worked and that Fable didn't just cheat or delete something and declare victory. The first is that the original version used Rerun, this allowed us to save things to disk as an RRD file, meaning we could query the contents and use this as a sort of test fixture or golden artifact that held EXACTLY what all of the values should be. Then we can use this with /goal as a metric when doing the optimization to ensure there are no regressions. The second bit is the headless rendering, this gave us the ability to check that not only did the test fixture pass, but it also looked visually correct. This made a huge difference, and an awesome side affect of it is that we can use the headless rendering to create an implementations.html file. This gives a visual guide as to what the agent did (I walk through it in the video below) Along with this, we're working on an MCP server for rerun that allows full interactivity with the rerun viewer for your agent. So for example the agent can click, drag, move views, scroll timelines, ect. I used this to help the agent debug certain parts such as when the 2d sam masks didn't line up, or if the triangulated keypoints werent correctly matching with the optimized mesh. The agents could go, click into the view, scroll through the timeline and see where things went wrong. Fable + Headless Rendering + Rerun MCP == 300x speedup in less then a days work With these new tools, I'm planning on going back to my gaussian splatting implemntation and cleaning it up + making it fast!

Iran Issues Stern 3-Day Ultimatum to U.S. Amid Escalating Tensions A recent social media video has compiled a series of alarming posts and news clips suggesting a dramatic escalation in tensions between Iran and the United States. The central claim is a stark ultimatum from a top Iranian official, warning of a "total offensive" if U.S. military actions persist. "All Red Lines Will Be Crossed" According to a message attributed to a military adviser for Iran's Supreme Leader, the time for diplomacy is over. "The policy of both negotiation and war is over," the statement reads. It gives the United States a three-day deadline to cease its military engagement. Should the U.S. fail to comply, the message warns, "the Iranian Armed Forces will embark on a Total Offensive and Destruction. All Red Lines will be crossed." This declaration signals a potential shift from proxy conflicts to direct and open warfare. A "New Phase" and Nuclear Ambitions Adding to the gravity of the situation, other reports highlighted in the video claim Iran has entered a "new phase." One post states that following the current conflict, "Iran will be recognized as a global superpower." More alarmingly, it asserts, "We must take steps to produce or acquire nuclear weapons." This aggressive posturing is accompanied by a show of military strength. The video notes that Iran has released never-before-seen footage of its top commanders touring the nation's "underground missile cities," showcasing its strategic capabilities. U.S. and Iranian Military Movements The video suggests that both nations are preparing for a wider conflict. It references reports of the U.S. deploying "dozens more refueling planes to Israel ready for an expanded conflict with Iran." Simultaneously, it is claimed that Iran has already launched a "strong military response" to alleged U.S. airstrikes within its borders. Iranian forces have reportedly targeted American military bases and assets throughout the Persian Gulf region and West Asia, framing their actions as a direct reply to U.S. aggression.

.Judicial Watch ⚖️ just extracted Jan 6 info that Pelosi had been hiding (with the help of McCarthy!)...Thanks to Judicial Watch ⚖️, federal court ordered US Capitol Police to describe emails they continue to withhold from the public. Of course, Speaker Mike Johnson can have these emails and the Jan 6 videos released to to the American people. These hidden emails include “situational security update” emails that show warnings of possible January 6 protests that could lead to serious disruptions at the U.S. Capitol: a. A January 3, 2021 email, with attachment, from the USCP Deputy Chief to a Board member and others at USCP and in Congress providing a detailed “special event assessment” of anticipated protest activity in advance of the January 6, 2021 Joint Session of Congress. The attached document is marked on each page “For Official Use Only/Law Enforcement Sensitive.” b. A January 5, 2021 email, with map attachment, from the USCP Chief to two Board members detailing a proposed “bike rack” security perimeter for January 6, 2021, and proposing further discussion. c. A January 5, 2021 email, with map attachment, from the USCP Chief to two Board members detailing a proposed security perimeter for January 6, 2021. d. A January 5, 2021 email, with social media post and map attachments, from the USCP Deputy Chief to a Board member and others at USCP and in Congress reporting “a significant uptick in new visitors” to a “historical website” containing information on Capitol system tunnels. The Deputy Chief describes proposed attempts by unauthorized individuals to block members of Congress from entering the Capitol building, through tunnels or otherwise. e. A January 5, 2021 email from the USCP Deputy Chief to a Board member and others at USCP and in Congress alerting them to an online website soliciting information on high-level government officials and their expected whereabouts on January 6, 2021, and linking to the website’s article entitled Why the Second American Revolution Starts Jan 6. f. A January 6, 2021 email from the USCP Chief to Board members and others at USCP and in Congress relaying that the President had completed a speech at the Ellipse and that a large group was preparing to approach the Capitol. g. A January 6, 2021 email thread between the USCP Chief, two Board members, and congressional staffers responding to questions on the status of evacuations and relocations of certain buildings on the Capitol Grounds on January 6, 2021, and relaying information on crowds gathering near the Washington Monument and on Capitol Grounds on January 6, 2021. h. A series of four January 6, 2021 emails from the USCP Deputy Chief to a Board member and others at the USCP and in Congress providing four updates throughout the course of January 6, 2021. These updates contain intelligence assessments, information on arrests, coordination with other law enforcement agencies, crowd estimates, scheduling of high-level government officials, threat and incident reports, medical responses, and officer deployment status. i. A January 7, 2021 email, with photo attachment, from the USCP Deputy Chief to Board member and others in Congress providing an update on the arrest and subsequent charging of an armed individual found in a “suspicious vehicle” on January 6, 2021.

🚀 Announcing Echo — our new frontier model for 3D world generation. Echo turns a simple text prompt or image into a fully explorable, 3D-consistent world. Instead of disconnected views, the result is a single, coherent spatial representation you can move through freely. This is part of a bigger shift in AI: from generating pixels and tokens to generating spaces. Echo predicts a geometry-grounded 3D scene at metric scale, meaning every novel view, depth map, and interaction comes from the same underlying world — not independent hallucinations. Once generated, the world is interactive in real time. You control the camera, explore from any angle, and render instantly — even on low-end hardware, directly in the browser. High-quality 3D world exploration is no longer gated by expensive equipment. Under the hood, Echo infers a physically grounded 3D representation and converts it into a renderable format. For our web demo, we use 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for fast, GPU-friendly rendering — but the representation itself is flexible and can be easily adapted. Why this matters: consistent 3D worlds unlock real workflows — digital twins, 3D design, game environments, robotics simulation, and more. From a single photo or a line of text, Echo builds worlds that are reliable, editable, and spatially faithful. Echo also enables scene editing and restyling. Change materials, remove or add objects, explore design variations — all while preserving global 3D consistency. Editing no longer breaks the world. This is only the beginning. Echo is the foundation for future world models with dynamics, physical reasoning, and richer interaction — environments that don’t just look right, but behave right. Explore the generated worlds on our website and sign up for the closed beta. The era of spatial intelligence starts here. 🌍 #Echo #WorldModels #SpatialAI #3DFoundationModels Check it out:

🚨 HOW HORRIBLE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had a Black Democratic state lawmaker arrested after a 5-hour sit-in at his office. Then he amplified a post calling her “ghetto.” State Rep. Angie Nixon, a Jacksonville Democrat now running for U.S. Senate, sat outside DeSantis’s office for five hours Friday. She wanted to speak with someone in the governor’s office about affordability and the new congressional map. The Capitol Police arrested her on a trespassing charge. Press were ordered out of the building. Two of her supporters were arrested with her. DeSantis then went on social media. He retweeted a post from an allied account that called Nixon a “ghetto rep.” He added his own caption. “FAFO.” This is the same governor who in his 2018 campaign warned voters not to “monkey it up” by electing his Black opponent. The map Nixon was protesting — passed in a special session two weeks ago — adds four GOP-leaning seats heading into November. When you knock on power’s door with documented evidence, power doesn’t debate you. It demeans you. Then it arrests you.

Possibly the biggest change in Microsoft Teams history? Teams without the Teams? Public preview in November to desktop, mobile, iOS, and Android. Here is what you need to know: 🟣 Microsoft is introducing a new combined chat and channels experience. Meaning chat and teams/channels will show up under the "Chat" sidebar icon. No more dedicated Teams sidebar button. 🟣 Teams and Channels will have their own section in chat. 🟣 Group your chats and/or channels however best works for you with favourites and custom sections (up to 50 sections and 50 items per section) 🟣 “Unread,” “Chat,” “Channels,” “Meetings,” and “Muted” Filters 🟣 New message can initiate a new chat or new channel post 🟣 New Mention view gathers all your mentions into a single interactive list. 🟣 At launch, a self-service, guided onboarding will help users discover the new experience and configure it to their preferences (on or off) 🟣 Users who prefer to keep chat and channels separate can easily do so during the onboarding process or at any time later. So far, it looks like there are no IT/tenant-level override controls. This experience change is targeted at getting more users using teams/channels. Most Teams users live in "chats", not teams/channels. There will undoubtedly be some pushback from users who use teams/channels well and like having the mental separation of teams/channels vs chats. I've been fortunate to be using it for a while, and I'm personally a big fan; my use of the correct channels has gone way up, and now I can find them all in one place in the app, particularly on mobile. I'm now much more likely to see channel conversations I need to see. What do you think? #MicrosoftTeams #Microsoft365

🚨 BREAKING JUST NOW – Attorney General Pam Bondi at the podium: The person who planted two live pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, 2021 has finally been arrested after four years of total inaction. - Suspect: Brian Cole Jr. - Taken into custody this morning in Woodbridge, Virginia. - Charged with violating 18 U.S.C. § 844 – use of an explosive device. - Search warrants executed safely, investigation still active, more charges possible. Bondi laid it out plain: “This cold case languished for four years until Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino came to the FBI… the evidence had been sitting at the FBI with the Biden Administration for four long years.” “There was no new tip, there was no new witness – just good, diligent police work and prosecutorial work.” “Today’s arrest happened because the Trump Administration has made this case a priority. The total lack of movement on this case in our nation’s capital undermined the public trust of our enforcement agencies.” She praised the team effort – FBI, ATF, Capitol Police, Metro PD – and said today is “a significant step toward restoring the public’s trust.”

According to evolutionary biologist Brett Weinstein, the common narrative is dangerously misguided. The prediction that another serious pandemic is inevitable is not a fact of nature, but a probable consequence of our actions. Weinstein argues that the risk of a future pandemic requiring a radical, global response is "tightly correlated with our cryptic bioweapons research," often disguised in the U.S. as "dual-use research of concern." Were this research halted, the likelihood of a naturally occurring virus necessitating a rapid vaccine deployment is "surprisingly low." He dismantles the historical precedent often used to justify pandemic preparedness, citing the 1918 flu. Many deaths, he notes, were due to bacterial pneumonia (now treatable with antibiotics) and fatal overdoses of the then-new "wonder drug," aspirin. A similar event today would not have the same catastrophic outcome. Furthermore, Weinstein issues a stark warning on the mRNA vaccine platform itself. While it solves the problem of rapid deployment, it carries a fundamental flaw: it presents a very narrow antigenic target. Unlike natural immunity, which recognizes the entire virus, this narrow focus gives the virus an "easy problem to solve evolutionarily." This means that rather than ending a pandemic, a narrowly targeted vaccine can actively drive viral evolution, potentially prolonging the crisis it was meant to solve. The conclusion is chilling: The greatest pandemic risk may be anthropogenic. And the very technology hailed as our salvation may be inherently flawed, creating a dangerous evolutionary arms race against the virus. The question is no longer if we are prepared for the next pandemic, but whether our current path is making it more likely—and more dangerous.
