Simulating Hand-Drawn Motion with SVG Filters

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-17 09:12:26

Published on July 09, 2025 Ever wondered how cartoons create that hand-drawn “jitter” effect? I recently watched an ARTE documentary about Neapolitan pizza and was fascinated by the animated illustrations (drawn in simple shapes and plain colors) that accompanied the segment where the recipe and its ingredients were presented. The illustrations were static, but they had a subtle animation effect that made them look like they were moving slightly. See for example in this short clip, where you c

Chinese Scientists Invent System for Extracting Oxygen, Water and Rocket Fuel From Moon Dust

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-20 16:30:12

Chinese researchers say they've devised a new way to extract water from lunar soil and convert it into fuel. As detailed in a new paper published today in the journal Joule, the team found that their proposed "photothermal strategy" — essentially converting light into heat — could effectively convert carbon dioxide from extracted water into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and oxygen gas, a "potential route for sustaining human life on the Moon and enabling long-term extraterrestrial exploration."

Everyone says 2025 is the year of AI agents. The headlines are everywhere: "Autonomous AI will transform work," "Agents are the next frontier," "The future is agentic."

In the mid-1990s you could create useful software without being an ace coder. You had Visual Basic, you had a rich ecosystem of components, you could wire them together to create apps, standing on the shoulders of the coders who built those components. If you’re younger than 45 you may not know what that was like, nor realize web components have never worked the same way.
