My grandfather built motors that powered big machines. In a lab not so different from his workshop, my colleagues and I uncovered the assembly of the bacterial motor. Today, this discovery has been published in Nature Microbiology #MolecularNodes #Discovery nature.com/articles/s4156…

It's cool to see how different hardware components interact to affect performance. This trace shows the impact the GPU top-level cache (TLB) has on ALU performance. This is CellWalk's ambient occlusion kernel, very little ALU saturation until the depth data gets hot in the TLB.

Apple Vision Pro idea: What if interactable elements do the gaze/hover-effect only when your fingers are close together and you are gazing at the controls?

It would make link heavy websites like Hacker News less distracting (everything is highlighting as you look around).

New demo available. Wanted to release something while the weather is still reasonably cold. Very simple and unpolished/unoptimized, and will run poorly on most machines. Below it is running on a gaming laptop 13900HX + 4080.
