WIP: This is magic! I'm walking around a bacteria cell in #AppleVisionPro!!! It's an atomistic cell model (you can see atoms when I get close to something). I just got this prototype working in CellWalk's renderer. #science #biology #scicomm #education #gamedev #apple

If I did the math right, a type 1 Kardashev civilization is using roughly 50 megatons of TNT worth of energy every second.

I still think about LuminaProbiotic basically every day. What would it take for me to be willing try an engineered bacteria replacement to permanently cure cavities in my mouth? I asked my Dentist about it and he said "Cool! You first."

This app is excellent on iOS and absolutely incredible on Vision! Ambient Occlusion is the one true lighting 😍 Every single atom that's part of the biology of this cell is rendered. It's just amazing. Try it!

Entropy is the "expected amount of surprise given a distribution of possible outcomes". In a spiky distribution you are very unlikely to be surprised. But in a uniform distribution, just about every outcome is a bit surprising. And this ends up with a larger total entropy.

This is really really cool: arxiv.org/abs/2412.09548 NVIDIA came up with a network architecture to create damn good meshes from point clouds. They tune the attention of the transformer to look only locally and have a recursive model that generates one vert/tri at a time.

I read this book as well as "Bringing up Bebe" (the one about french parenting) about 5 years before having kids. They were and are very interesting. From Tiger Mother: it's okay to push your children to do hard things. From Bebe: it's okay to make your children eat adult foods.

Samo pointed out that the entire flow of the Nile River for a year would cost $30B from desalinated ocean water. That's about 10% of Egypt's GDP, but nearly 100% of its GDP is due to the presence of the Nile. So we can create new Egypts wherever we'd like.

I have one friend that went ridiculing Elon's claims that full self driving was finally coming in 2025 to getting the 13.x upgrade and saying "I would feel comfortable taking a nap in the backseat" and "FSD is a better driver than 90% of Ubers I've ever taken".

visionOS in REAL LIFE?! To pitch one of my Vision Pro app concepts to an online interior shop, we prototyped an idea we’ve had for a while: What if you could bring visionOS windows into the real world by printing them onto real frosted glass panels? Not only would this make for a

Everyone talks about exponential returns on capital. But something I haven't heard explained very well is that there's also exponential returns on experience. You need to manage 10 people before you can manage 100. And then 1000 and then 10,000. Keep compounding experience.

Thomas Henderson in 1832 measured the parallax of a star (Alpha Centari) for the first time against its background stars. He measured 20 trillion miles (real number is 25 trillion!). 5 orders of magnitude greater than the largest distance ever recorded. And he sat on that
