Made some updates to the API so it can display cartesian color models alongside the polar ones. Itโs now much closer to what I originally had in mind, and it should make adding new models a lot easier in the future: meodai.github.io/color-palett...
First cyclotron in #3d - Ernest Lawrence's working prototype measured about 4.5 inches (11 cm). What you can hold in your hand scaled into huge atom smashers. The red stuff is sealing wax! #physics #xr #vr #mr
Barely-there #AR glasses go big on going light
"Made of ultra-lightweight resin and tipping the scales at just 63 grams (2.2 oz), they're one of the lightest sets of AR glasses on the market." #xr

My #TeaseYaGame entry is Go, Booper GO! - a mobile infinite runners with *ahem... educational* elements! Collect letter, spell words - before time runs out! All art (and a good amount of the sound effects) created by a child on the #autism spectrum! Coming soon for Android (and iOS shortly!)
Wincing here for multiple reasons.
1.) 120 might still make nDreams the largest VR game developer and publisher in the world.
2.) Thatโs still probably 5x or more the studio size that even the highest selling VR games could support right now. Many VR teams are still less than 5.

Created a mech model re how a cyclotron works in #unity3d - two sides (Ds) of the spiral rock back & forth representing an oscillating electric field. The particles (big white balls) winding around the model accelerate. Had to use splines for consistent results. #xr #vr #physics
Fish! is live with a full game update that wipes previous progress but adds new content and secrets. Here's my review for UploadVR.
I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

Everyone of these powerful people already knew their names were in the Epstein files.
The panic isnโt about the files.
Itโs about the public finally getting to see them.

Anthropic make a great coding model but this is truly pathetic behaviour. The reasons are obvious but just to restate:
1) They did exactly the same thing to train their own models. Scraping blogs, StackOverflow, reddit, pirating books, the list goes on.
