some weekend shader stuff #swiftui


SOMEONE JUST KILLED THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY A guy scanned an entire house with his phone. Uploaded it. Now anyone on Earth can walk through it in a browser tab. No app. No VR. No agent. No appointment. Click → you’re inside. Every room. Every angle. Every shadow. Photoreal. The numbers are insane: - Agent fee on a $500k home: $15,000 - Cost to make this scan: ~$200 - Time to “tour” 50 houses: one evening - File size: smaller than a TikTok The science is wild too: It’s called 3D Gaussian Splatting instead of polygons (how games render), it uses millions of tiny glowing “splats” of color and depth. AI reconstructs reality from your photos. The result loads on a phone and looks like you’re THERE. The grift opportunity is even wilder: Freelancers are already charging $300–$800 per scan for realtors, Airbnbs, venues, car dealers, museums. One person + one phone + one weekend = a business. Open source. Built on PlayCanvas. Free GitHub: github.com/playcanvas







I’ve wanted to do this for a decade. But I never did - I refuse to give any company my DNA. It is me. So this week I sequenced my genome entirely at home. Literally on my kitchen table. I never exposed my DNA sequence to the internet. Not at any point. I used a MinION to do the sequencing (it’s smaller + weighs less than an iPhone). I used open-source DNA models for the analysis (Evo2 and AlphaGenome) running locally on a DGX Spark and Mac Studio. I traced mechanisms behind my family’s multigenerational autoimmune conditions that no clinician has been able to understand. When I set out to do this I didn’t know if it would actually work. It does. Your genome is the most private data you will ever have. You probably shouldn’t let it leave your house.
