Painting with Math: A Gentle Study of Raymarching

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-24 03:52:17

Most of my experience writing GLSL so far focused on enhancing pre-existing Three.js/React Three Fiber scenes that contain diverse geometries and materials with effects that wouldn't be achievable without shaders, such as my work with dispersion and particle effects. However, during my studies of shaders, I always found my way to Shadertoy, which contains a multitude of impressive 3D scenes featuring landscapes, clouds, fractals, and so much more, entirely implemented in GLSL. No geometries. No

I Spent Weeks Using Orb: It's Unlike Any Internet Speed Test I've Ever Used Before

Internet speed tests aren't just for people who obsess over their internet connection. If you're having an inevitable home internet slowdown, my first recommendation is always to start with a speed test. In fact, I’ve tested and used dozens of internet speed tests -- the market is pretty saturated with them. Ideally, the best internet speed test is one that diagnoses your bandwidth blues as easily as possible -- no ads, no extra features you can’t make sense of and no slowing down your Wi-Fi. S

Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo Review: Not for Penetration

wired.com Amanda Chatel 2025-09-25 16:00:00

I've heard a decent amount about sex toy brand Hot Octopuss from my male friends, but it wasn’t until the Pulse Duo arrived on my doorstep that I had my first experience with its products. I was excited to give it a try because I love penis toys that both partners can enjoy. The Pulse Duo isn’t a cock ring—at least not in the traditional sense—it does help produce longer and stronger erections. More of a sleeve than a ring, the person with the penis wears the Pulse Duo while dry humping or gyra

Why Some AI Models Spew 50 Times More Greenhouse Gas to Answer the Same Question

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-09-25 17:00:55

Like it or not, large language models have quickly become embedded into our lives. And due to their intense energy and water needs, they might also be causing us to spiral even faster into climate chaos. Some LLMs, though, might be releasing more planet-warming pollution than others, a new study finds. Queries made to some models generate up to 50 times more carbon emissions than others, according to a new study published in Frontiers in Communication. Unfortunately, and perhaps unsurprisingly,

Conserving Qubits by Using Dissipative VQAs for Thermal Prep

computer.org Ilse Paredes 2025-09-25 20:47:02

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) play a significant role in improving the efficiency and accuracy of quantum computers. However, they come with high noise levels, which degrade their performance. Even though current techniques can mitigate their noise, they involve excessive computational overhead, which limits their feasibility. However, in a paper written for IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering, Yigal Ilin and Itai Arad propose incorporating dissipative operations to alleviate the e

How Hourglass Vision Transformers Are Redefining Camouflaged Object Detection

Introduction While camouflage gives wildlife and military vehicles a strategic survival advantage, it poses challenges, both for human and computer vision systems. It is difficult enough to detect objects designed to blend with their environments, but when the objects have blurry edges, the detection process is even more problematic.

I’ve spent the last year working on local-first apps, most recently with Muni Town. For me, ‘local-first’ isn’t just a technical architecture — it’s a political and social stance. It’s about shifting control: from remote servers and top-down central authorities deciding how data, workflows, and communities operate, to individuals and communities reclaiming that control and gaining autonomy. Seen this way, privacy and consent aren’t add-ons — they’re foundational, just as critical as sync or data
