If you are curious about ASM and FFmpeg, they are releasing free high-quality learning resources.
FFmpeg@FFmpeg
Not sure why but we have lots of new followers! FFmpeg makes extensive use of hand-written assembly code for huge (10-50x) speed increases so we are providing assembly lessons to teach a new generation of assembly language programmers. Learn more here: github.com/FFmpeg/asm-les…

It also works in VR 🤯
Grab a Quest or Apple Vision Pro and step into the immersive cockpit. Got to love WebXR and the amazing react-three/xr.

Every time a sale is made on @Shopify this Black Friday weekend, it shows up on this 3D globe.
It runs at 120fps in the web with a full 3D environment, physics engine, music synth, VR support, and more.
It’s hard to believe it's a React app 👀🧵
English
@Shopify is very interesting as a company, on the surface one would assume it’s just an e-commerce platform, but they are doing some very interesting things in the 3D space or AR/VR, for instance…
English
Really cool. Desktop experience is even better.

Here we go! 🌐 BFCM weekend has officially started in the first time zones, so let's go live. This is the best Live Globe experience yet. Beautiful. And what's even better than a bfcm globe? One in a room full with toys and tools to make it your own. We may have gotten a little bit carried away there... 😇

@AndreFSBarbosa I don’t pay any attention to “performance” since I’m not developing a game. My only goal is for these fx to run in real-time in the viewport for me.

Unreal Motion - the first complete Unreal Engine 5.5 Motion tools course, launches this Tuesday, November 26.

- full trailer on Tuesday
- will also mark the start of Black Friday for RedefineFX

I wonder what will happen when no effort is required to create anything…

This is some boring ass future we are creating right now.
Just ask the genie in the bottle to make everything for you.
Shaun Maguire@shaunmmaguire
We @sequoia are thrilled to announce our investment into @DecartAI Today they’re launching a “warm-up” called Oasis This is a fully playable version of Minecraft WITH NO GAME ENGINE, it’s purely a video model rendering pixels in real time

@iBrews I have basically the same experience. Support is, for the most part, non-existent. Long wait times, different people answering, losing context, etc… all leading to no resolution.
English
today, someone I'm sure not familiar w/ the previous emails and google docs and screenshots and builds that have been shared over time took a look at some logs we sent and basically responded with 'looks like you've resolved your issue, goodbye!'
No. No it's not resolved.
Help.
English
a moment to highlight why Meta's dev support drives us crazy.
we've had an ongoing email convo since August 2023 about solving one very particular issue.
the frequency of responses is few & far between & new people keep coming into the convo while others suddenly leave.

@dhh Not sure how he thinks any of these actions are going to bring any sort of positive outcome.

Maybe I'm supposed to get mad at this, but instead I just get sad. Mullenweg clearly sees it as a failure to create much more value in the world than what you capture, and maybe that's the root of our differences. I see that as a proud achievement. ma.tt/2024/10/on-dhh/

It’s open source, want to fork it, fork it. This is an entirely different thing.

Anyone thinking of building a business creating plugins for wordpress should take note.
Gergely Orosz@GergelyOrosz
So this is the future of WordPress. Automattic - the entity controlling Wordpress .org and the WP trademark - can take over *any* plugin that it wants, when they want, and how they want. Automattic is burning the principles of open source for their own profit. A sad, new era.

Advanced Custom Fields@wp_acf
We have been made aware that the Advanced Custom Fields plugin on the WordPress directory has been taken over by WordPress dot org. A plugin under active development has never been unilaterally and forcibly taken away from its creator without consent in the 21 year history of WordPress.

This definitely saves some people a lot of work
Misha Kaletsky@mmkalmmkal
I built an app that will fork a GitHub repo for you, and push commits directly to your fork replacing text to rename it in every file. No more laborious find and replace just to get into the next YC batch: forkme.mmkal.com

Maybe we should collectively do the same to these big AI companies and scrape them to hell, all day, every day.
I am not against AI in any form, but there needs to be some level of respect - for lack of a better word - especially for projects like Shadertoy, or simillar.
inigo quilez@iquilezles
Hey, if you are the AI company/institution that has been scrapping shadertoy.com nightly for a month now, please stop now.
English
@iquilezles @SebAaltonen I have been using Cloudflare to address that, maybe that can help you too. Not sure if it will entirely solve your issue though, as Shadertoy must be a very high-profile target for AI...I am sure they can find a way. It sucks.
Anyway, hopefully this helps: blog.cloudflare.com/declaring-your…

@SebAaltonen Blocking one IP address at a time, but that doesn't scale :(

Programming Zero-Knowledge Proofs
This article will show how to write basic Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) from scratch:

LLMs generate the answer one token at a time and the second token isn't known as long as the first token wasn't generated. Knowing this is crucial for understanding why LLMs generate nonsensical answers trying to explain unexplainable.
The below screenshot illustrates the problem perfectly. The user asks whether a number prime or not. The LLM generates the first word, which is "No" in this case. That's it. There's no way back. It will continue generating a logical explanation of a wrong answer, which is impossible. The chance of generating a wrong first token is never zero, so the situations like this are inevitable.
And there's nothing to laugh at if you understands how LLMs work.
