Over the summer, Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉 has been porting Godot Engine and its editor to the iPad. His recent post includes some really cool stuff on designing a good iPad UI that keeps a high density of controls while still keeping a native iPadOS look/feel. blog.la-terminal.net/godot-on-ipad-…

What's interesting here is that a computer did the fun, creative job of drawing Kermit in various scenarios, and then a human did the boring, labor-intensive job of creating shortcuts with custom thumbnails to open all of their favorite apps. x.com/dlberes/status…

An enormous congrats to Patrick Cozzi and everyone at Cesium; over the past decade Cesium has been a big player in driving open graphics standards and advancing the field, and all of their many successes are well earned. It's so cool to see how much of this grew out of CG@Penn!

github.com/Niravaana/HIP-… I was working on past month or so on BVH builder and traversal experiments. The work is far from over but seems many people are interested in the work and so I am sharing my repo here. I have tried to add creds to best of my knowledge. Have fun!

I think the coolest things announced at the Apple event today is that AirPods Pro 2 are going to work as FDA certified clinical-grade hearing aids. If they work well, this is going to be a big deal for the entire hearing impairment field and will meaningfully improve lives.

Fun fact: even most rocks have at least a small amount of subsurface (and yes, we've been putting at least a small amount of subsurface in rocks at WDAS since the original Moana).

FlightAware has a page up tracking the UPS planes loaded with iPhones heading to the US for Friday’s launch. Assuming roughly 300,000 iPhones fit a 747-8F, just one group planes near Alaska was hauling $2,330,200,000 ($2.3 billion) worth of iPhones this morning.

Here’s an awesome new blog post by josh about making C/C++ code builds fast. More accurately, the post is about that on the surface, but it’s actually about how to think about performance and how to drive optimization via data and careful thought. superfunc.zone/posts/001-spee…

50/50 isn't cool, you know what's cool? 51/51. Also he's our injured ace starting pitcher on an off season from pitching. The greatest baseball player to ever live.

Interestingly, this problem is also solvable using a $5 pocket calculator from the convenience store that runs entirely on solar power, with 100% accuracy every time and performance thousands of times faster than OpenAI o1. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
