In an unexpected chain of events, my glitch tools were used in the opening sequence of Blade Runner 2049 by talented studio-mate @Toronaydo

This is a personal project but If you're curious or want to try, get on the waitlist: yafafits.com ✨

For years I've been taking selfies of my outfits just to remember what I wore or share with friends. Camera roll: thousands of pictures, zero of them findable. So i built the thing i wanted. Meet Yafa 🧵

who is brave enough to connect Claude to a vibrator

Turns out many of my Graphics Programming peers aren't aware that I3D is happening in SF next week. There's still time to register. If you need financial assistance to go DMs open. i3dsymposium.org

i made an app for tracking whether the oligarchs are actually fleeing city centers ews.kylemcdonald.net

@peterkirn @julienbayle I figured haha but on the off chance you might not have !

@_vade @julienbayle Oh yeah I know… waiting on a couple pieces ;)

New release. We just published ofxAbletonLinkAudio, an addon for openFrameworks that lets you stream real-time audio between your creative apps and Ableton Live, TouchDesigner, Max/MSP or VCV Rack — over the same local network, no complex setup, no virtual driver, no cable. github.com/gluon/ofxAblet… For those unfamiliar with openFrameworks: it's a C++ framework for coding your own creative applications — interactive installations, live performances, custom tools for artists. Concretely: your oF app can now send or receive audio to/from Live (and vice versa). Sample-accurate, stereo, minimal latency. To our knowledge, this is the first public integration of this technology for openFrameworks. Live 12.4 officially ships on May 5, 2026 and brings this technology (Ableton Link Audio) to the public release of Live. We timed the release so the oF ↔ Live bridge would be ready on day one. And this is just the beginning: more connectors will be published as open-source in the coming days for TouchDesigner, Max/MSP, VCV Rack, and as VST/AU. Stay tuned. #StructureVoid #AbletonLink #openFrameworks #creativecoding

@Liv_Agar on the plus side, this administration has completely cured my imposter syndrome

Excited to share this! Spent a lot of time working with these two gents on modeling, data , ontology/taxonomy and more to get the most bang for our limited buck. Came out great and glad to share it:

@SebAaltonen Interesting. Do you have a resource to read up on that piece of advice? I admit I’ve not heard of that before. Anecdotally using CAMetalDisplayLayer to get surfaces seemed snappier than older CVDisplayLink - related?

The above image also shows why Apple recommends that you use two command buffers + two submits. First for all offscreen passes and second for the main display pass. Apple's drawable surface acquire stalls the CPU if the surface is not yet available. Vulkan has better design with GPU-side fence instead of CPU stall. We still do two command buffers in Vulkan, since there are some laptop drivers (Nvidia Optimus, etc) that actually do stall the CPU in the same place.

Profiling mini-engine with Bistro scene (Metal native): - Frame time = 1.43 ms (700 fps) - M3 Max at 2560x1440 - 9.2M visible triangles, 1260 draw calls (most in 4x shadow cascades) Main thread: 0.08ms - update = 0.05ms Render thread: 0.38ms - culling (main + 4x cascades) = 0.03ms - offscreen (shadows + g-buffer + depth-pyramid + lighting + bloom + post) = 0.34ms - display pass + main submit = 0.01ms 100% GPU bound. CPU is mostly waiting for GPU. Render thread waits 1.02ms for GPU frame to finish (we allow only two frames in flight to minimize latency). Main thread waits 1.34ms for render thread to finish.

This may be the best computer based art ive seen in a long time: reddit.com/r/computervisi…

@justinmeans Yeah now would be the time haha. I’ve yet to get to that. Mostly higher level concerns and fixing a bunch of issues, incomplete things. Would love to get your eyeballs on things! Metal 4 - probably not tbh just for os coverage!

@_vade Looks good 😎 are you dropping Combine / any Metal 4?

Fast separable bokeh / coc blur with multiple render target deferred shading / SSAO / Motion Blur / DOF post passes hitting 120 Hz 4K on M1 Max - oh man Satin 2.0 is getting fun. #metal #gpu #realtime

Twitter really needs better video compression, jeez, but anyway this is at 120 Hz on M1 Max, 4K resolution - im pretty fucking pumped up.

Really nice, performant screen space motion blur coming to Satin 2.0:

Quite literally years in the making, BRAW Toolbox v3.0.0 now includes a Blackmagic RAW Media Extension, allowing you to load BRAW natively and directly in Final Cut Pro, QuickTime Player and any other application that supports Media Extensions. 🥳 It includes full RAW parameters and metadata control, and even has Gyroflow built-in for stabilisation, so you can stabilise an entire clip with one click. No longer do you need to import BRAW via a Workflow Extension - you can literally just drag-and-drop from Finder. 🔥 For a strictly limited time, as a thank you for your patience, love and support, BRAW Toolbox is currently discounted to USD$49.99 (down from USD$79.99) on the Mac App Store. HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who's supported BRAW Toolbox along the way. This wouldn't have been possible without the help, support and genius of @_vade and AdrianEddy (creator of Gyroflow). brawtoolbox.fcp.cafe

Satin 2.0 is gonna be fun :

Fabric just past 500 github stars, not bad for not being out of alpha! fabric.graphics / github.com/Fabric-Project…

I'm on the front page of The Transmitter today. "Why neural foundation models work, and what they might—and might not—teach us about the brain" by Juan Gallego thetransmitter.org/neuroai/why-ne…

@nothanksbot9 @albn @UselesPoliszguy @timsoret Totally with transparency & for example Norway has incredibly high quality of life but health care is “behind” in terms of being state of the art, family w cancer may travel to Germany for treatment. No system is perfect. I’m a native NYer, love the us - but we have work to do!

@albn @_vade @UselesPoliszguy @timsoret I think Europeans have this stereotype where every American is dying from expensive health care. Yes I think health care is too expensive in general but I just had a dental appointment including taking care of a cavity and I paid literally $2 with insurance covering the rest.

40 yrs ago, a French was 82% as rich as an American. Today it’s roughly half. Why? The US proved that software, venture capital & tech scaling were the new engines of growth. So America got Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, Nvidia, Tesla, SpaceX, OpenAI… and we didn’t.
