@_jasonliu_ @Adam_Runions Care to share a link to this optimized implementation? I was also surprised to learn that rebuilding the whole graph every frame was widely accepted as the fastest method to recompute it. I figured it was that way for some complicated reason because *math* lol

@Adam_Runions @jasonwebb 2/n Fortunately A. Hoff’s implementation illuminated a way to integrate this optimization with actual runtime benefits. This allowed my code to produce a more accurate and visually complex result at around two times the runtime of approximations.

@_jasonliu_ @Adam_Runions Great work!! Love the canalization and closed venation. Were you able to figure out how to get converging branches to *actually* connect to each other when they terminate? I could only fake it with very small kill distances.

@3Dmattias I love it when two different fields converge like this, especially when it doesn't seem like they do on the surface. I used to think it was just a superficial similarity, but now I'm pretty sure contrast==reaction, blur==diffusion. Convolution matrices all the way down!

Reaction Diffusion is amazing. just blur and contrast over and over again and patterns that almost seem alive emerge.

@alexanderchen @Ethan_smith_20 Bark beetles! They lay their eggs in the wood, then the larvae eat through the wood like that before emerging. Awesome patterns, but they're also devastating to trees :(

I also find these amazing squiggles underneath tree bark. Does anyone know what makes these? Bugs? @Ethan_smith_20

@lucastswick That looks awesome! I've always wanted to do stuff like this too, I think this kind of algo begs to be physicalized. How long did this take?

I used @jasonwebb’s Reaction-Diffusion playground to generate this pattern and carved it into plywood with my brand new CNC machine. I’ve long wanted to get more tactile with my work and I think this is the way forward.

@algcifaldi That's awesome! 🙌 I'm glad I was able to help. Thanks so much for letting me know! If you figure out how to produce branches in 3D that blend into their trunks as 1 continuous mesh, lmk - I never did figure that out 🤣

@jasonwebb 👋 I've been referencing your space colonization write up and wanted to say how much I appreciate it. The topic felt scary at first but your work made it feel very approachable for me (and now I have it partially implemented in 3D!). THANK YOU!!

@1Marc Way to go! OOT was my first Zelda game, but the SNES one (Link to the Past?) is still my fav. Loved the graphics and gameplay. These new ones just haven't been doing it for me haha.

In preparation for Tears of the Kingdom, I did it! Last time I beat this SNES version of Zelda was ~15-20 years ago.

I'm most interested in interactive media installations, in-person immersive experiences, unconventional interactions, and procedural gfx. Web tech is my 🍞+🧈, but I've dabbled in Unity, oF, and VR and would love to learn more! DMs are open. Let's chat! 📭

@_vade OpenAI also mentions this a couple times in their docs and onboarding, but I feel like it isn't understood by many. Maybe bc of hype or anthropomorphization? 🤷‍♀️ #methods:~:text=ChatGPT%20sometimes%20writes%20plausible%2Dsounding%20but%20incorrect%20or%20nonsensical%20answers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">openai.com/blog/chatgpt/#…. #methods:~:text=Instead%2C%20our%20current%20models%20usually%20guess%20what%20the%20user%C2%A0intended" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">openai.com/blog/chatgpt/#….

@_vade I think ChatGPT (and other LLMs) is optimized for sounding convincingly human, not necessarily telling the truth. The RLHF training method selects for responses that sound good, but no fact-checking was done AFAIK. #methods" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">openai.com/blog/chatgpt/#…

I’ve been trying to explore using #ChatGPT as a co-piloting coding tool. I think it just gas-lit me and hallucinated API calls that don’t exist? Either that, or it was trained on Apple internal source code?

One of the last things we did, before being laid off, was add the ability to copy alt text. Select the ALT badge to display alt text (when available) and then long press to copy. Now in the latest iPhone release v9.37. HTH PS: Please don’t send me any bug/ feature requests.

@workergnome @kcimc @MeetTheMonks Small world! I point my team to the Persepolis project as a good reference for solid a11y and beautiful, modern digital storytelling. Love how AR is used as a supplement, but no one is forced to use it to access (and ENJOY) the content. A11y + experiential digital = hard lol

@kcimc @MeetTheMonks Yup, they did the production and bios, collaborating with our in-house creative team. Don’t know if they have a write up, but could put you in touch with someone there if you like.

what are your favorite examples of interactive in-browser explainers that are neither scrollytelling nor outright video games but maybe have elements of both? less bret victor, more like three.js demo. bonus points if it’s a science or cultural heritage thing.

@cjamesmay @KittyGiraudel As someone who has been getting into React recently after a decade+ of vanilla, the only advantage I like with CSS-in-JS is directly sharing stateful props for conditional + reactive component-level styling.

@KittyGiraudel Serious question: do you think there's any significant advantage to CSS-in-JS at all over just using Sass?
