No need to use your imagination anymore, cloud shadows are now accurate ✨ It's such a silly approach and I can't believe it worked, I giggled so much when I got it working
Harry 💬@halisavakis.com · last wk.Cool thing with the compute shader approach is that I can also hijack the cloud raymarching loop to chuck in some volumetric fog in a different buffer with barely any additional computational cost ✨ Now try to imagine how cooler this would look if those cloud shadows were actually accurate 👀
In AT Proto, you own your data like you own an ape NFT. I think identity and data* interop is the more interesting selling point of the atmosphere. *in some cases
dame@dame.is · 6d agoalso, “data ownership” is a misnomer that doesn’t even make much sense in a social media context in which everyone’s data must be continuously copied, replicated, indexed, and distributed all over the world for anything of value to actually emerge
Kimi K3's weights were released, making it the most powerful open weights model in the world. Been reading it since it came out, page one starts strong: mostly negatives, a late run of zeros, and one unexpectedly large positive value.
I’ve been working on an Exaclidraw fork for about a week that syncs your drawings to your Atmosphere account as well as uses Iroh for realtime encrypted end to end collaborative work. I feel like it’s at a stage where I can share it. Meet lexidraw.app!

"prophet motive", the episode in s3 where the prophets (wormhole aliens) turn the ferengi grand nagus into some kind of social philanthropist until quark makes them undo it is peak comedy

Is there a super lite and easy way for an atproto service to host its own identity/pds with did:web?
My For You feed has turned in to everything I don’t want to see.. I wonder if there is a sign error in there
I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

A new Science study shows that bumble bees can position a ball underneath a fake “flower” to reach a reward, suggesting they can exhibit spontaneous problem-solving and challenging the notion that such advanced cognitive abilities are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates. https://scim.ag/4vs08dC
@postgame.at Heads up — can't log into postgame from a self-hosted PDS. Your oauth-client-metadata.json requests repo:…?action=read scopes, but "read" isn't a valid repo action (only create/update/delete). Strict PDSs reject the whole auth with invalid_scope. Dropping "read" fixes it 🙏
@tangled.org is there a way to follow everyone I follow on bluesky in tangled?

I’m watching Jurassic Park and I’m wondering why we haven’t found more dinosaurs since I was a kid
I needed to touch moss so I went for a hike. I’m glad I caught the one sunny day this week.
This is my status this week. I think this is my first week off this year. I planned it a few days ago because I realized I was so stressed and somehow forgot to plan for chill
amos@fasterthanli.me · 2mo agothis week I am faced with the hardest challenge of them all: to chill.

Goodness gracious why did I need to edit Bluesky's css to let me copy messages from my inbox. That was super annoying. Anyways insert: ```css * { user-select: text !important; -webkit-user-select: text !important; } ```
Interesting realization this week that because of AI, my technical skills are now worth less than my engineering vision and judgement
Sometimes agentic coding is like growing crystals. If you drop all the salt at once you get a mess of shapes. If you want a precise geometry, you need to move with skill and layer by layer.
