This is the kinda #cbt I’m into

@XorDev Based

@VUOrca Yep

Viscosity f2 c = C.xy / R.y*4+R, s = flr(c), i; @(9) c+=cos(++i * c.yx + .1/(s-c) + T) / i O = exp(-3*abs(sin(c.y+f4(,.4,.2,))))

@MilkDrop2077 @YoheiNishitsuji Goodness me!

Playing with @YoheiNishitsuji's shader. You can bend it into tons of different patterns.

@WavesOceannn @XorDev Indeed he has written (at least) an article on this very technique mini.gmshaders.com/p/turbulence

@XorDev that cos part is wild. ever tried visualizing it?

@iicctwtysy @jellicentz oh my god she WAS in anora! i forgor 💀

@jellicentz she’s been working alright

i was watching some new netflix movie called roommates and why did nobody tell me that this ivy wolk girl was an actual actress and not just the twitter mid-off meme girl

@woofknight Extraordinary

@poetengineer__ -me learning that the oracle of delphi was huffing volcanic fumes

high is the new medium.

@poetengineer__ Cool

a practical reason to take this seriously: we rarely create anything from nothing. we are immersed in other people's ideas. what we call originality looks more like ecology: you're not a pure source of ideas but a site where existing ideas met and recombined into something new.

in "there is no antimemetics division", ideas are not passive things that minds generate - they are entities with their own domain (ideatic space) and their own agency. what's striking is how little this actually departs from our daily language: we say we are "captivated" by a thought, "seized" by inspiration, "possessed" by a vision; we call bad but contagious ideas "mind virus"; ramanujan attributed his formulas to the revelations of a goddess. i want to entertain this premise: not "i have an idea", but "the idea had me". if this is even partially true, then creativity is less like construction and more like susceptibility. the creative act is not generating something new, but being available to something that was, in some sense, already looking for a host. this also reframes talent: different minds are susceptible to different ideas. what we call a gift might be closer to a vulnerability/sensitivity.

@poetengineer__ Wait I should read this one damn

@AnkurGoel @straceX Good question. Iirc it’s because assembly has a return register, and you’d rather call a function and then use the return register than use another register to store the data

@straceX Why return dst when the caller had dst already?

The classic strcpy implementation from K&R. Still one of the most quietly beautiful loops in C.

@Waterflowing0 That’s a fun one!

gm · an old experiment with minimal rendering

@stylewarning Lispers have fun

mine's 4 fundamental structural editing commands.

@txsinatrafan Incredible stuff. I can only imagine the vertigo staring down that big long hole

Indeed there be Timber

@Scrygl Wow!

@txsinatrafan Could be a lot worse! Enjoy the shows

My two nights in Vegas are going to be quite a contrast 😂 what can I say? Rebecca always wants to do the burlesque shows 🤷‍♂️. Relationships are give and take, right 😉?
