It’s worth mentioning that this was made by six guys in their dorm room for a sci-fi convention, and all six of them (which includes the creator of Evangelion) would go on to define the anime industry for decades to come.

Oh are those a wider thing? The only one I’ve seen is Sokpop. :D

I don’t know, not sure if I would fit into very communal setups. Just a 39-year old probably-autist tinkering with graphics in the corner of a living room here.

Not sure why I bother doing all this admin, dealing with all this stress, and paying other people money, just so I get to keep doing things I'd be doing anyway.

Man, I've been a solo entrepreneur since 2017, but this is the first time I've considered quitting. Got a big pile of extra tax-related work and stress thrown at me because… I haven't made enough money.

We cannot meaningfully separate everyday usage of “AI” from the machine of death and war. If you’re upset by the military-industrial complex? These tools feed it; they *are* it.

I’m not entirely sure! The black thing must be inverted hull outline mesh. There was a possibility of a super rare near-zero division in some lighting calculations, but I don’t know why it would affect the outline mesh like that. So… it must’ve been a ghost.

"Critics of LLMs" are constantly told the need to acquiesce to the terms of debate set by those who seem utterly incurious as to why so many people reflexively recoil from LLM output

You can now visualize how a color palette distributes across OKHsv, OKHsl, OKLCh and CIELab, and compare 6 distance metrics side by side. Zero dependencies, raw WebGL2.

Took me 3 years to make something I wasn't too embarrassed to share 🙃

JSBench showing it is 86.79% slower in my naive test

TIL `Math.hypot(x, y)` in JS is waaaaay slower than `Math.sqrt(x*x + y*y)`. Apparently it uses a more precise algorithm under the hood: something something underflows overflows numerical stability.

Time to strip them all out of my codebase. ><

It never ceases to amaze me how hyper developed our brain is to project meaning on anything that looks like a face. This whole shader is only a couple of nodes, but has such a vast possibility space of expressions

living in the 2020’s

Been working with EnergyTrust of Oregon on a multiyear project about bridges from different parts of the state. The siren song of landscape painting has started to allure me, and i’ve been enjoying the change of pace playing with gouache textures.

Commissioned lineart I did:
