Verlet Integration and Cloth Physics Simulation (2022)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-06 03:39:26

Physics simulation in games (or simply game physics) is a vast topic, and in this post we'll cover only a tiny part of it; yet certainly an interesting one! Let's understand what Verlet integration is by implementing a simple 2D cloth simulation with C++. Physics in games is always fun, isn't it? Have you ever ditched the main quest of a level just to blow something up? I know I have.

In this (long) part of the customizable select series, it’s all about gamification. In this article, I’d like to highlight one of my demos, where I aimed to recreate a piece of UI found in the Monster Hunter games. To re-create this behavior, I had to think in terms of keyboard navigation first. This demo requires quite a lot of CSS, as well as some scripting, and in the end, I do want to highlight some accessibility concerns.

Homotopy Equivalences

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-05 10:56:06

Previously: Fibrations and Cofibrations. In topology, we say that two shapes are the same if there is a homeomorphism– an invertible continuous map– between them. Continuity means that nothing is broken and nothing is glued together. This is how we can turn a coffe cup into a torus. A homeomorphism, however, won’t let us shrink a torus to a circle. So if we are only interested in how many holes the shapes have, we have to relax our notion of equivalence. Let’s go back to the definition of home

How a grad student got LHC data to play nice with quantum interference

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-08 23:00:08

Measurements at the Large Hadron Collider have been stymied by one of the most central phenomena of the quantum world. But now, a young researcher has championed a new method to solve the problem using deep neural networks. The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike seeing an image of a star in a telescope, saying anything at all about the data that comes out of the LHC requires careful statistical modeling. “If

Cross-Account and Cross-Region Backups with AWS Backup (and Friends)

It supports Cross-Account copying and Cross-Region copying, but apparently not together.

Moratorium on state AI regulation clears Senate hurdle

A Republican effort to prevent states from enforcing their own AI regulations cleared a key procedural hurdle on Saturday. The rule, as reportedly rewritten by Senate Commerce Chair Ted Cruz in an attempt to comply with budgetary rules, would withhold federal broadband funding from states if they try to enforce AI regulations in the next 10 years. And the rewrite seems to have passed muster, with the Senate Parliamentarian now ruling that the provision is not subject to the so-called Byrd rule
