A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

This is a great introduction to differentiable / inverse rendering - rasterization specifically.
I've read through it and am currently working on implementing some things.

Ask yourself if kids prefer toys, or stores. Games from a generation ago were allowed to be toys. Games today are forced to be stores.

An evolution of xkcd #2347 with too many things that can break the Internet!

This meme is getting out of hand, but it's actually not far from reality 🤣

There's no shame in being wrong about something.

There is shame in choosing to be wrong.

I laughed

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

The WORLD WIDE WEB was invented in Switzerland (by a Brit), the INTERNET was not invented there.

I demand a full apology from Eurovision, the BBC, and the nation of Switzerland.

For-Profit (Creative) Software YouTube video by EndVertex

I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

Remember last.fm

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

Rendering Tiny Glades With Entirely Too Much Ray Marching YouTube video by Graphics Programming Conference

Here's a recording of my Tiny Glade presentation from the Graphics Programming Conference 2024:

It's an any% speedrun of our GPU-driven rendering, shadows, global illumination, water, and DoF, involving a few weird tricks.

Very good of @karpathy.bsky.social to state this explicitly!

I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of my #procedural animation to hand-authored animations on some models I bought. This is so I can better study what I need to improve.

When I got my comparison tool running for the first time, this is what I was greeted with! Step-height glitch I think. 😅

Bluesky’s captured tech twitter because it appeals to our innate desire to buy a new domain name.

It might be hard to believe, but this animation is actually 100% procedural.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing, just compiled the native app and trained with the Lego demo. Super smooth! :)

A comic strip with two panels, the first panel is a drawing of a black dog with a red collar with the text "no need be best" written above the dog, the second panel is the same dog with the text "only good and kind" written about it.

So it goes

A bunch of men are hanging out in a big hole. A sign points to it labelled "Hole." One of the men in the hole points to a sign that says "NEW HOLE." He says "hey look! someone made a new hole!" All the men frantically rush out of the old hole and into the new one. One comments "this feels like how the old hole used to feel."
