@mrdoob Internet Explorer to the rescue!

Vintage FUD: When Microsoft declared WebGL a fundamental threat to the internet soon after Chrome enabled it by default.

@joemccann Sounds similar to differentiable logic gate networks, just way less efficient

This is actually insane. Dude hard-coded a WebAssembly (WASM) interpreter into the weights of a transformer, losslessly. In essence, a computer is running inside a LLM that can actually run computations, not infer or guess a calculation like most do today.

@smart_poly @GamersNexus @HardwareUnboxed Dude never wrote a single line of shader code btw

Threat Interactive needs to chill… 😳 Calls @GamersNexus and @HardwareUnboxed “good little marketing slaves” in his latest video… (archive this before he DMCA strikes it)

@cryptopunk7213 Europe losing the AI race might age the same way

i find it fucking hilarious how Apple "failing" at AI is now the exact reason they're about to win it: - watched everyone else burn $1.4T+ building models... then picked the winner (gemini) to use for... $1B - while everyone fights to grow users, apple flips a switch and 2.5 billion devices get AI siri tmrw. - $150B to splurge on the device / app layer. zero competition (because everyones spent their cash). - while openAI charges $200/mo subscriptions, Apple lets you run models on-device (cheaper, faster, private, personal) - while openAI struggles to build an AI device, Apple just dropped 5 powered by the best AI chips for hand-held devices. they "lost" the model race because they didn't need to win it in the first place greatest to (accidentally) ever do it.

@midascabal Open source is an economic weapon. Dominate a market, drop a free, open alternative, and competitors hit the open-source wall before they can even play.

Here is why the AI bubble will implode. China is using a totally different approach to AI: - open source, mass scale, cheap The West approach to AI? - close source, private, profit driven China will mass produce AI and export it everywhere, like their products. This will be a race to the bottom where the West can't compete. With that, the inflated AI valuations in the West and their stock market will crash. Current Chinese AI is on par with the best in the West, but 8x cheaper and open source. You are not ready.

I don't see proper water happening any time soon with a server-authoritative engine design + ECS on top. Water propagation would cause massive amounts of block updates that would kill the server. Maybe Riot saw this massive design flaw in their engine, which led to their decision with the engine rewrite.

water in hytale desperately needs to get an update soon 😭

I've created an infinite terrain generator using cellular automata: maierfelix.github.io/strata-voxel/ #procedural #voxelart

@ZooL_Smith @sampavlovic Marriage, but with physically based lighting

@sampavlovic Sam you can't just take pictures of Sponza on a foggy day and get away with it

did a thing to reject useless probes from interpolation on top of relocation no lights on scene, just skybox inference, we might've actually hit the jackpot bros

@smart_poly @MaesterSilvio At this point I’d bet the donation money is funding lawyers and LLM subscriptions, not actual code

@MaesterSilvio He’s using his lawyer for more important purposes- like sending small creators a cease and desist letter.

How does he keep getting away with this?? “NDAs are involved” 😂😭

@0xPozz No libraries used!

Walking through my browser-based voxel engine #gamedev #webgpu

It's a uniform grid with a mip-based ray acceleration structure. The reason for that is that (soon) there will be a cellular-automata based fluid simulation that requires super fast voxel and acceleration structure updates. Here is a quick peek of what it will look like once ported over:

@_x1m4 This is absolutely brilliant. I have so many questions. To DAG or not to DAG? To ray trace each pixel or march the DAG per voxel?

@ankkala @gdechichi Didn't get around writing an article yet, but a few people on the voxelgamedev discord server wrote their own implementation and shared their results

@_x1m4 @gdechichi how does it work? can i read more on it?

@gdechichi It's calculated in world-space with a new GI technique specifically developed for this game called CAGI

@_x1m4 are you doing screen space GI?

@mark_k Yes the sound is ray traced with support for occlusion and reverb based on the surroundings

@_x1m4 The sound is great. Are you using some kind of raytracing for the sound waves?

@_stainless0_ Depends on if the implementation supports 64bit unsigned integers

Which door would you choose?

Didn't know that flow fields can be used for such precise entity path finding. Takes 0.1ms to update in a compute shader, so super cheap! #gamedev #webgpu

@Capses2 That's an awesome idea! I actually have a prototype in 2d that not only simulates liquids but also gases like air. This indeed could allow players to create submerged bases by pumping down air and displace water just by pressure difference

@_x1m4 You don't need pumps, pressurizing the atmosphere inside the base is enough. With a proper breathing mixture and acclimation humans can go well bellow 300m. It's called saturation diving and I believe it's mostly used in the oil/gas industry.
