@DonnieOsullivan wenn du es versuchst: versuche nicht deine fingerspitzen an deine zehen zu bekommen denk eher an deinen Bauchnabel Richtung Oberschenkel (also gerader Rücken). Das dehnt gleichmässiger, ist angenehmer und du merkst auch schneller Fortschritte.

@41Adanac @US_Stormwatch Could you elaborate on the mechanism how a storm helps radiating energy into space? It is infrared radiation from water particles higher up in the atmosphere?

@US_Stormwatch Correction to my earlier tweet: Per recent readings, it appears the % of a hurricane's total energy budget that gets radiated to space is quite small (though is perhaps in absolute terms still an impressive number); I'm trying to get some data instead of general statements.

Category 5 Super Typhoon Bolaven, the strongest storm on Earth, is nearing tropical cyclone perfection. The storm has a near perfect circular eye surrounded by deep convection. The storm currently has 180 mph (290 km/h) sustained winds with gusts to 220 mph (354 km/h), but luckily it will stay out in the open Western Pacific. Weather is amazing.

@MoveAI_ I would love to test this in the context of real-time vfx augmented contemporary dance!

We have some more invites to send out this week! Reply to this tweet with how you will use Move One and we’ll give you early access 🙌 Single camera motion capture with your iPhone. Shoot anywhere you want. No suits or markers required.

@alvarlaigna @unity It is also complete unclear what to put in these terms. Working with privacy sensitive groups of users this is purely unacceptable!

@unity This explanation is somewhat better, but it's still neither honest nor clear. Additionally, GDPR and tracking remain a significant mystery, potentially incurring extra costs for studios to update terms. None of this is very transparent to understand.

We want to acknowledge the confusion and frustration we heard after we announced our new runtime fee policy. We’d like to clarify some of your top questions and concerns: Who is impacted by this price increase: The price increase is very targeted. In fact, more than 90% of our customers will not be affected by this change. Customers who will be impacted are generally those who have found a substantial scale in downloads and revenue and have reached both our install and revenue thresholds. This means a low (or no) fee for creators who have not found scale success yet and a modest one-time fee for those who have. Fee on new installs only: Once you meet the two install and revenue thresholds, you only pay the runtime fee on new installs after Jan 1, 2024. It’s not perpetual: You only pay once for an install, not an ongoing perpetual license royalty like a revenue share model. How we define and count installs: Assuming the install and revenue thresholds are met, we will only count net new installs on any device starting Jan 1, 2024. Additionally, developers are not responsible for paying a runtime fee on: - Re-install charges - we are not going to charge a fee for re-installs. - Fraudulent installs charges - we are not going to charge a fee for fraudulent installs. We will work directly with you on cases where fraud or botnets are suspected of malicious intent. - Trials, partial play demos, and automation installs (devops) charges - we are not going to count these toward your install count. Early access games are not considered demos. - Web and streaming games - we are not going to count web and streaming games toward your install count either. - Charity-related installs - the pricing change and install count will not be applied to your charity bundles/initiatives. For additional questions, we have updated our blog and FAQ resources. ⬇️ Blog: on.unity.com/3ZiIwlB FAQ: on.unity.com/44NMZ0R Forums: on.unity.com/45RgrnV

@CreativeChris1 @W0lfsKitten Changing the pricing model within 3 months and retroactively has nothing to do with trustful communication or integrity.

@W0lfsKitten I know this might not help, but I hope this is built on integrity and working with developers with trustful communication.

Reading as much as I can from the developer community's reaction to the Unity pricing change for runtime fees, just trying to process your comments. What is your most burning question? I will push internally for a clear answer. Go!

@Cryptogeniq @nexta_tv The effect is not triboluminescence. It is piezoelectric: before an earthquake triggers there are often massive changes in the stressfield which translates into changes of the electric charge of piezoelectric minerals such as quartz. Those can have an effect on the ionosphere

@nexta_tv A scientist here to explain?

Mysterious blue light flashed in the sky moments before the #Morocco earthquake A similar phenomenon was previously observed before the earthquake in Turkey. Scientists cannot accurately determine the nature of such outbreaks, but they suggest that this may be the release of energy as a result of the movement of lithospheric plates.

@AntoniaRForster Let me know if you come by Aachen on the way home

Gamescom Day Two - let's goooo! Say hi if you see me! Fellow VR / AR / XR devs where are you at? 💗 #Gamescom #gamescom2023

@EtienneToGo Weil sie nicht müssen? Anders als bei Musik sitzt bei Podcasts die gema/Verwertungsgesellschaft nicht dazwischen.

Warum bezahlt Spotify (wenn auch sehr wenig) Musiker anteilig an Streams aber nicht Podcaster?

@ch_gruetze @k_gaidzik Looks more like a bird to me…

@k_gaidzik OMG it does!!!

Looks like a fault, what do you think @ch_gruetze?😉 #palaeoseismology #trenching #activefaults #Colca #Peru #NCNOpus

@_kzr this is cool, thank you! I was not aware of KlakMath until now. Any chance you have Gaussian Kernel Sampling on the roadmap?

Added random disk/sphere sampling extension methods for Unity.Mathematics. github.com/keijiro/KlakMa…

@DrMaxPalmer I see… does it start with an A and ends with an O? 😉

@DrMaxPalmer Did it require soldering?

@DrMaxPalmer Congratulations! Right now I have all my Kinect project shelved but I’m still very curious what your secret is…

@DrMaxPalmer And what??? No power cables???? How???

@DrMaxPalmer Wow! You get 8 running ? I had major problems already with 4 getting them to startup and stay connected was always a pain. What usb board are you using?

@pvncher @Dilmerv @unity Are the ui panels already world-space ui toolkit?

The @unity XR Interaction toolkit v2.4 is out now! The biggest change is a complete revamp of the ray interaction visual logic, it's burst optimized, rays bend to their target and are retractable! Ray jitter is also way down thanks to default stabilization! See the🧵for more

@FreyaHolmer I am so sorry to hear that! But also glad you got timely help. Hang in there queen and all the best!

for me, the tipping point the past few months was losing memory, and a pretty severe depression, triggered by the recent AI developments I feel so dumb for being so affected by that, but it legitimately poisoned almost everything I care about in life, which, made me lose hope

I was accepted into rehab for burnout ❤ here are some pictures I took on the walk home from today's appointment

@JoannaStern To take 3d photos and videos like the one shown in the vision pro demo: IPhone can ALREADY record those! The hardware is there since iPhone 12 Pro!

Look, I have no idea if Spaital photos and videos are going to become a thing but I’ll say this… Ever since I had my Vision Pro demo and have gotten videos of my kids on this trip, I’ve been thinking it would be really cool to see this in 3-D. Do I want my wife to have to wear the face computer to take them? No. But not crazy to think one day she’ll be able to with an iPad or iPhone.

@bytesdotdev about the 20. Iteration I see of the same advertisement for just another newsletter. If your advertisement is copy paste I do not have high expectations on the content. Hon st feedback. Take it or leave it.

Wandering around, talking, hardware hacking at #CCCamp19 – No idea what is going to happen to the world in the next 4 years, but see you in August, 2023, at #CCCamp23 hackaday.com/2019/08/30/ccc…
