I’ve been learning pygame this weekend. Reading docs and writing code.
Let me tell you, nothing nothing nothing comes close to changing a line and tabbing to see your changes. Slowly seeing your code turn into something. Calling a new function and seeing something appear on the screen…
Prompting will never.
Not saying we should go back. I won’t. Just realizing how much I loved this.
I see way too many aspiring founders lean way too hard into the content creation side and it's obvious that the building side suffers
The building in public is supposed to be documenting your work. The work isn't supposed to be the backdrop of your content
@thenoumenon@KMkota0 I'm honestly thinking of going into table tennis coaching full or part-time. Have played 10+ years semi-professionally. I can't even imagine how unsatisfying it must be to have a career that just involves prompting all day. Not sure / conflicted.
@thenoumenon@KMkota0 IMO my sense is many of the good people are starting to bail out and go offline more. I've been thinking about it myself and am on the fence right now. When people can prompt into existence things I took weeks to build in < 30 minutes, and get more attention, what's the point?
@dangreenheck Sad to see and recognize work of myself and others contributed in exchange for nothing but attribution and education to then be convolved and stripped of attribution or knowledge of prior art. What remains is a shrinking circle of knowledge and disenfranchised contributors.
Two books I worked through end to end myself years ago and are the very first books I recommend to anyone interested in math: neilwithdata.com/mathematics-se…
Two math olympiad champions wrote a training manual in 1993 on two old Macintosh computers, and every American kid who has won a major math competition in the last decade learned to think from it.
Their names are Sandor Lehoczky and Richard Rusczyk. The book is called The Art of
A strange thing. The first two weeks I had a broken hand (but didn't know it and worked through it) were less physically painful than the last two weeks have been, knowing I have a broken hand and resting it completely.
I feel like every programmer is falling into the same trap: thinking that if you just ask Claude some questions and read the answers you can deeply understand a system. Your brain doesn’t work that way, you need to be forced to think, prove your knowledge, and recall over time.
In addition to sprained wrists, turns out I’ve been working for the last 3 weeks with a fractured thumb 😔 Gotta properly stay off the keyboard coming up I think.
Turned Anton Palmqvist's excellent physicallybased.info into a three.js viewer here at artofpilgrim.github.io/materially/ so you can get a feel of the materials. Easily copy albedo values and test your own models with the material library

We're about to see some of the least intellectually capable people ever enter university and the workforce due to a complete trained dependence on AI for all thought.
University of California STEM professors want standardized tests back due to severe math deficiencies among students:
“We now observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle school mathematics”
“The current admissions metric, based primarily on GPA &
"Advanced Calculus" is a free book of more than 500 pages published by the Harvard Mathematics Department and represents a real gold mine for the study of mathematical analysis.
It covers normed vector spaces, compactness and completeness, multivariable differential calculus, integration, differential equations, multilinear forms, differentiable manifolds, exterior calculus, potential theory, and classical mechanics.
It is a mathematically substantial book, rigorous yet accessible to readers with a solid background in analysis and linear algebra. Despite its advanced level, it maintains remarkable clarity and develops the theory in a progressive and coherent way.
It is one of those resources worth keeping in your mathematical toolbox, useful not only for mathematicians but also for those working in physics, mechanics, engineering, data science, and computer science, where many of the concepts developed in the text find direct applications.

New shader-based photo filter I've been working on yesterday & today. Lots of parameters going in (bloom, light streaks, halftone dots, color noise, chromatic ab, light streaks, etc.) so you can get quite unique results out of it depending on your choices.
Btw, that blue button you see enabled on the right is my new "Artistic Auto-Crop" setting which automatically crops images to try to create an interesting artistic result. Pretty cool if I do say so myself :-)
Working on a new effect today for Photogenesis.app ~ inspired by some recent sketching. I thought...wouldn't it be interesting to generate a polygon tessellation and then hatch each polygon. You can toggle to render the polygon edges or not for a unique effect.
I'm a little late to the party on this one since it's from January, but I just read this great blog post by Jure Triglav walking through implementing surfel-based global illumination. It's got a bunch of really cool interactive toys/visualizers!
