A live session coding a procedural tower of bricks. Turned out ugly, I fixed it a bit in shadertoy after I closed the recording: youtu.be/DAMiS2PGTEE

Never knew Han had such appallingly stupid views on energy security.

1/6 Excited to share our #SIGGRAPH2026 paper, Dual Contouring of Signed Distance Data! We propose a new method for reconstructing sharp meshes from discrete samples of signed distance functions (SDFs) that does not require gradients. Project page: gatc.cs.columbia.edu/projects/dua...

Stuff Labour/Reform, I want to know how many votes Fox Man and Boss Hogg got

B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf 2/

Say what you want about Ford but their EVs are clearly lasting way, way longer than anyone would expect an ICE to last. 2022 Mach-E owner has 350k miles, no major mechanical issues, brake pads + rotors lasted 340k miles, battery has a 92% SOH. Feels plausible that 1mm mile cars will be a thing.

Missing.

Bloody Labour's been in power for almost a year and a half, and _still_ hasn't banned those stupid "stutter" penalty run ups. When will they act?

LONDON HELLSCAPE

It's quite uncomfortable watching Jofra Archer relentlessly targeting the head of a man who's having to wear sunglasses to deal with the glare at the Oval.

Does what it says on the tin...

It really is bleak where Cadbury's, a deeply ethical company with a beautiful history, has ended up. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The 2025 paper "EON: A practical energy-preserving rough diffuse BRDF” was updated with an appendix that provides an albedo inversion formula, as well as two other small enhancements. jcgt.org/published/00...

Love ‪@privateeyenews.bsky.social‬'s 'Page 94' take on Trump's latest oeuvre -- "Caesar-Maxxxing"

Time for it to have an "accident" I think. These Russian skippers are terribly careless after all.

I recently completed my PhD thesis, where I developed algorithms for making geometric inferences from imperfect data (i.e. incomplete and inaccurate observations/representations of shapes, like broken meshes or point clouds). A thread 🧵:

I really hope TSB is the worst bank in the UK, because it'd be frankly terrifying if there was one that was even more incompetent. (I wouldn't touch it with the proverbial bargepole normally, but something I'm associated with has a business account with them.)

I'm sure _this_ guy didn't have trouble getting a US visa.

BBC: “So what advice did David Hockney give to you?” BBC Guest: “Fuck everyone.”

A lot of us joked last week that, amid rampant misinformation and incitement spreading like wildfire on platforms like X surrounding the Belfast riots, regulator Ofcom would probably write a strongly worded letter. Umm...I just realised that's exactly what they did. www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safet...

I'm not sure how compelling this is to the general public, but boy I'd love to get hold of that data 😄. Looks like some great animation and general footballing movement reference. www.3d-bbc.co.uk

Incredible - dramatic improvements in air quality in London are linked to a measurable impact on Londoners' health: 9.3% drop in heart-related emergency admissions 5.1% drop in hospital admissions of all illnesses and health conditions Cleaning up our air protects our future.

MinerMancers is live on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3223050/... It's a game about silly wizards going mining together. Delve alone or with friends to satisfy your employer's demand for magical resources. This is a labour of love by my wife & I; there's a ways to go, but we're doing it 😄

A listener to our pod made a super suggestion for this: The Great Brotation.

This thing that seems to be happening where people are selling bitcoin so they can buy SpaceX should be known as The BS Trade Thank you for your attention to this matter

Complete collapse in the number of Europeans who see the US an ally.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

And the shirts say “This is not a jersey” on the back:

Possibly the pettiest loser government in the world. The US has withdrawn Iran’s allocation of World Cup tickets for supporters days before the tournament starts, Iran’s football federation said.

Adorable young kestrels surprised by a butterfly.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

What is the largest source of electricity in each country? Coal generates one-third of the world’s electricity, more than any other source. But zoom into the country level, and the picture is much more varied.

I'm sorry what? As part of its 1987 rebrand British Rail's sectorised freight business Railfreight had its own branded After Eight mints and called them AFTER FREIGHT!?

This is what I've been working on :3c

Don't we have quite enough going on already? 😜
