Watch as this plant’s chloroplasts shift in response to bright light (which turns on at the 20-minute mark, indicated in the upper left). These organelles are solving a packing problem: how to optimize photosynthesis without sustaining damage from dangerously intense rays.

what if the precipice event turns out to be a bright flash in the sky - sold to us as incoming nuke blasts - but turns out to be "the light" that will heal us from within activated by the flip of a switch?

CHILD PREDATOR ON A STUDENT VISA How many of these predators are in our country “legally” ready and prepared to rape British children? This is as much of a problem as the illegal rapists pouring in.

🚨Interesting footage from Chile. Witnesses capture two massive, bright, bar-shaped objects hovering in the sky. Watch as they stay static, shift light intensity, and eventually fade into the clouds like two separate objects. What are we looking at here? 🛸👀

Last month, Diane Abbott stood up at a conference in London and described Ukraine’s defence against Russian invasion as, and I quote, “the NATO campaign against Russia” (watch from the 1 minute mark). Labour are genuinely mad to let her back in.

This man was accused by software of running a red light in Florida while he was in Alabama. Red light cameras are unconstitutional because they shift the burden from the state to prove guilt to the driver to prove his own innocence.

Visualizing light paths differentials (actually, ray footprint / spread in this case). These are used in path tracing to compute texture filtering, among other things... and are too easy to botch in corner cases, resulting in bugs and performance issues that are hard to pin back to the cause. Here I play with specular roughness of two parallel mirrors (the closest of which is made invisible to camera rays) to see how that affects the propagation of the light path footprint. I think it's pretty cool to see.
