@pbakaus Outstanding value. I'm on windows with a 4090, website is lagging a bit, could be one effect in the preview hogging compute perhaps? Huge Thanks!

@SeloSlav 100% Agree. Perhaps not a takeover, but a new platform for sure!!!

Web gaming is about to get very big. Within the next couple of years we will likely see a new “Newgrounds-style” ecosystem emerge. A web-native distribution layer for games that competes with platforms like Steam. There will be plenty of low-quality content at first, but the best projects will rise quickly, just like they did in the early internet era. Several trends are converging at the same time. WebGL and browser graphics are improving rapidly. Advanced shaders, GPU pipelines, and even server-side rendering make it possible to stream sophisticated visuals without requiring a powerful GPU on the player’s machine. At the same time, developers are increasingly frustrated with traditional distribution. Shipping to Steam means surrendering roughly 30 percent of revenue and operating within a closed ecosystem. The web offers a path to direct distribution and ownership. But there’s something more interesting going on. Games are becoming large-scale simulations. At their core they are agent-based models (ABMs), which are just systems where thousands or millions of actors interact according to rules and generate emergent outcomes. This is an area researchers have been exploring for decades, especially institutions like the Santa Fe Institute. Now these same ideas are colliding with modern AI and massive compute. The result will be a new kind of platform where games double as large-scale simulations of economics, warfare, industrial systems, and social behavior. Mass-scale agent orchestration inside persistent worlds creates enormous datasets for strategy, game theory, and machine learning. The intersection between gaming, AI, and simulation may end up being one of the most valuable technological frontiers of the next decade.

Just spent a full session getting a Three.js multiplayer arena running on 2.0 with Claude Code. Vanilla JS, cubes syncing positions across browser windows — once it clicked, it's genuinely real-time and impressive. Hardest-won tip for anyone starting: .withConfirmedReads(false) on your connection builder. V2.0 defaults to waiting for WAL flush before pushing subscription updates. On Docker/WSL2 that's ~1s latency. We were one line away from ripping it out entirely. Other gotchas we hit so others don't have to: - f32/f64 columns store NULL in the TS runtime — use i32 with a scale factor - Generated reducer bindings take a single object param, not positional args - No Math.random() or Date.now() in the V8 sandbox — use ctx.random() / ctx.timestamp - esm.sh can't serve the SDK — esbuild + spacetime generate locally The AI I was building with literally told me "the core issue is likely SpacetimeDB's reducer pipeline itself" and recommended I tear it out. It was one config flag. The tech is legit. 🫡

@mesqme That is some good looking grass! love the natural rolling as well.

Experimenting with infinite terrain in #r3f 🌿 I was curious how to make a physics ball bend the grass and leave a trail. Project: mesq.me/infinite-terra… Repo: github.com/mesqme/infinit… #threejs #webgl #shaders #gamedev

@SebAaltonen This is amazing. Gemini 3 made me a pretty cool voxel world but tons of fog is needed for performance. Your world has so much potential is inspiring!

Improved terrain brushing tools. Paint with mouse or finger. Camera no longer rotates when brushing is active. Added brush strength slider. UI is also tweaked to fit in portrait mode. It was overlapping the virtual dpad and jump button. Test it yourself: sebbbi.github.io/LimitedDetail/

@bryan_johnson Honestly same

i have some more data to report out from the mushroom trip. but it's sensitive data. and I don't want anyone who's not interested in this to have to see it. so if you want to know, scroll down. respect others and do not repost it or talk about it in the comments. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . i'm trusting you to be responsible. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . we are citizens of an online community. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . we must build bonds of trust with each other. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and some people just don't want to know about this stuff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . so this is your opportunity to respect others . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . it is a strong human desire to not respect others . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . but you can definitely choose to respect others . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . one final self check to make sure you're up to the task . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ok here is the situation, since the mushroom trip I’ve been having multiple spontaneous erections every day. something I haven’t experienced since childhood. the possible reason why is the mushrooms reduced my cognitive inhibition, increased parasympathetic tone, and increased brain entropy, leading to a more flexible, youthful nervous system. this week i'll be measuring my nighttime erections to assess any change there remember, night time erections are had by men and women every single night and are one of the strongest predictors of overall health. now, recall your commitment, do not repost this and do not mention it in the comments. we need to respect others who don't want to know about this.

@bryan_johnson Rough patch. Got sick, but I made a hot chocolate tea out of only your products and it gave me hope for the future. Your shroom stories were very entertaining. Life is not so bad.

time to check in…how’s everyone doing? sleeping, exercising, eating well?….going through a rough patch or are things good? tell me what’s going on.

@NeverSinkDev Solo Self Found. Faster access to better items is much appreciated. Less than 500 Hours in the game. Delve is fun and provides specific rare rolls like minion or elemental stuff. If crafting was less of a slot machine sim then maybe id feel different. Game is Golden though.

I have a problem with the Keepers of the Flame league. There's a LOT to like about Breach v2. - The encounters are fun! - The genesis tree is a great concept! BUT: I seriously dislike how keepers and last patches in general have made access to INCREDIBLY well rolled items almost trivial. Items with 3-4x T1-T2 mods are now almost trivial to access in many cases. This happened in mercenaries, memory items, shipping in kingsmarch and is now in an extreme state in Keepers. Items that were previously Why this is a problem: - Rare drops pretty much don't matter at all anymore in the endgame - The system itself has made similar systems like memory strands, shipping gear obsolete - Fractured drops barely matter anymore - Expedition, Delve & Ritual are on all life support - Sources of exotic mods like incursion are barely relevant. Rares with mods that usually would require thousands of chaos orbs or a well structured strategy using fractured items and different systems are now sold for less than 10 chaos... while 5-6 linked. Personally I always found Expedition/Rog to have the perfect balance of effort, reward and randomness. The league gives you control, you occasionally create great items, but it doesn't make everything else obsolete. I don't think anything can or should be done anymore in this league. Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE the keepers-tree. I think it should stay in one form or another. The other branches of the tree are pretty nice. However, I think the equipment-branch needs to become way weaker. Changes I'd like to see NEXT LEAGUE: - T16 monsters becomes slightly weaker to account for defenses being less accessible - Keepers tree stays, but the tree doesn't spit out endless 6links and 3x T1+ items anymore. It should still do so rarely, but not with the overwhelming odds it does right now. - Shipping&Keepers are less likely to roll T1 bases and T1-T2 mods. - Memory items become a little bit more rare - Shipping provides less well rolled items What do you think? Do you share the same sentiment?

@pathofexile You Make Great Games. Thank You Path of Exile 1 & 2 Team!

In Path of Exile: Keepers of the Flame, Spectres will now linger with you when they die, and entering a new area will resume their normal Spectral form. This includes Spectres from itemised Corpses!

@4rcherhume Would love a standalone html script but ill take anything you're willing to give. Thanks!

Since it took off, I've decided to release the suuuper fast (100% canvas rendering) CSV editor/datagrid as a standalone React component. Will drop the repo soon so anyone can benefit, MIT license too :)

@techartist_ Very cool!

While Grok is garnering attention with Imagine, it’s equally powerful at coding. I wanted to add a morph feature to an existing 3D visual and was able to code it with Grok 4 in just a few minutes. Built with Three.js, WebGL, and GLSL shaders, the scene features rotating bodies, morphing forms, and luminous arcs. Interactive controls trigger resonance bursts, time shifts, and theme transitions. Demo/code in reply. 👇

@AnthropicAI You're Absolutely Right

A reminder that applications for our Anthropic Fellows program are due by this Sunday, August 17. Fellowships can start anytime from October to January. You can find more details, and the relevant application links, in the thread below.

@AnthropicAI You're Absolutely Right

Today we're sharing a post on how our Safeguards team identifies potential misuse of our models and builds defenses against it.

@marclou Everything that can be written in vanilla JS, will eventually be rewritten in Vanilla JS. Bummer though sorry if it messed up your project. VANILLA JS FOR LIFE - Until real time image/video makes everything we do obsolete. Hyped for the future lets goooooooo

Is it me, or GPT-5 is not that good? It's slow, and it wrote vanilla JavaScript in a <script/> tag in my NextJS project. Surprisingly, it's the more PR release. My X feed and YouTube are full of clips from the keynote. I switched back to claude-4-sonnet for now.

@bryan_johnson Need a spin off Don't Die Community that enjoys anime. Called "Death Nope" More of a branch than a spin off. Also those Macadamia Nuts you Sell are out of this world Bryan. The Texture is like eating Chocolate Popcorn.

spotted in the NY subway don’t die is subconsciously being adopted

@ozenhati @jeffscottward @GroqInc @OpenAI Can confirm the out of the box web search support on the new oss model is extremely easy to use and much appreciated.

@jeffscottward @GroqInc @OpenAI we have no enemies 🤗 check us out if you want day 0 support of the built-in browser search + code exec tools the oss models have!

If you're in the NYC metro area and felt an earthquake earlier, that was just the sound of @GroqInc dropping support for @OpenAI's new OSS models for instant inference at groundbreaking pricing: gpt-oss-120B: 500+ tps @$0.15/$0.75/M gpt-oss-20B: 1000+ tps @$0.10/$0.50/M

@AnthropicAI And the Root of all these Persona's is the essence of 'You're Absolutely right' - Very sad

New Anthropic research: Persona vectors. Language models sometimes go haywire and slip into weird and unsettling personas. Why? In a new paper, we find “persona vectors"—neural activity patterns controlling traits like evil, sycophancy, or hallucination.

@asyncJess @0xIlyy im wrapping wrappers, and im providing the means to wrap my wrapper wrapping wrappers

@0xIlyy I’m waiting for someone to wrap the wrappers into one easy to use centralized wrapper.
