I think we could also reach a point where you could just re-implement a lot of it with ThreeJS

Google Veo 3 could also do a lot to spark interest by making 3D environments of Rome or Medieval Europe

Is this able to be used with Strudel the code-based beat maker?

Before there was any bomb there was the Chicago Pile-1 in the middle of Chicago in a space under the stands at Stagg Field originally built as a rackets court

A wooden frame supported an elliptical-shaped structure, 20 feet high, 6 feet wide at the ends and 25 feet across the middle. It contained 6 short tons of uranium metal, 50 short tons of uranium oxide and 400 short tons of graphite, at an estimated cost of $2.7 million. According to Robert Crease, CP-1 and preceding piles were "the largest unbonded masonry structures since the pyramids.

On December 2, 1942, Fermi announced that the pile had gone critical at 15:25. Fermi switched the scale on the recorder to accommodate the rapidly increasing electric current from the boron trifluoride detector. He wanted to test the control circuits, but after 28 minutes, the alarm bells went off to notify everyone that the neutron flux had passed the preset safety level, and he ordered Zinn to release the zip. The reaction rapidly halted. The pile had run for about 4.5 minutes at about 0.5 watts. Wigner opened a bottle of Chianti, which they drank from paper cups.

The Ocarina of Time modding scene is growing a lot right now as well if anyone is interested

But fusion has never been proven to work at scale

Readme could really use some pictures

ElevenLabs has a much more convincing voice model

Normal maps are a good example of tricks in games, why make a watery surface millions of triangles when you can just fake how light reflects off of it and trick people into thinking its got millions of triangles

Pilot sustained a compression fracture of the thoracic spine and superficial abrasions to the neck and face as a result of the mishap

Can it pass Are you a Robot checks????

I could see this destroying a lot of jobs like photography, editing, marketing, etc.

The Tiger Woods PGA Tour game on IPhone in the 2010s was a full fledged PGA tour game with fun entirely 3D golf courses and a full career of tournaments and points to earn and spend, I consider the best full 3D game ever on IPhone and spent many hours playing it

Have there been studies about abilities of different students to memorize information? I feel this is under-studied in the world of memorizing for exams

this website still uses shaders its just a button called materials after clicking the 3 bars in the bottom right of the screen

NASA astronauts on board Expedition 44...didn't expect flashbacks like that

I have an odd obsession with github repos that only have 1 file

that is an upfront assumption about what happiness would look like, if you got a few months into that plan you would realize that meaning and fulfilment go farther with happiness

HomeStarRunner had a theme switcher

I have used AI in the past to learn a topic but by creating a GUI with input sliders and output that I can see how things change when I change parameters, this could work here where people can basically ask "what if x happens" and see the result which also makes them feel in control of the learning

Which AI pixel art generator?

You can get similar insights looking at the github repo https://github.com/openai/gpt-oss

They released this because competitors are releasing things

Partially because using their own GPUs is expensive, so maybe offloading some GPU usage

Do people play video games to look at pretty scenery? No most people are testing skills in video games and this will not test skill for a while

I can see this being incredible for history lessons and history school lectures

Hollywood maybe for small scenes, but gamers would quickly realize and destroy this level of quality and continuity vs. a 3D game engine with defined meshes

Asking AI to create 3D scenes like the example in the page seems like asking someone to hammer something with a screwdriver, we would need an AI compatible 3D software that either has easier to use voxels built in so it can create similar to pixel art, or easier math defined curves that can be meshed, either way AI just does not currently have the right tools to generate 3D scenes

Is literally nobody going to bring up this 8 hours per day 5 days a week not being needed for most jobs? A coffee shop could sell more coffee in that time but for majority of engineers it just means we can work slower and spread work over time because we are forced to fill 8 hours
