``` float corner = dot(abs(n), normalize(vec3(1.0,1.0,1.0))); corner = pow(corner, 5.) * 0.1; n += sin(p * 130.) * corner; n = normalize(abs(n)); ``` This could have potential for improving the problematic area. Added this to the top of biplanar().

Can confirm on iq's biplanar shader you get these cusps too. This is on a sphere so isolated to points instead of a line like your rotated capsule. Does triplanar look much better? Since this is probably a blurry spot for triplanar.

Here's various stages of the change. I made a concession and changed it so that we can have separate palettes for tiles and objects, but the colors line up again :D

Hurrdurr @devhurrdurr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Mostly invisible progress, I thought it'd be great to emulate a design constraint and have the world molded out of 32x32px blocks, as old games had save space. I no longer paint the palette separately, colors are extracted from the tileset so palettes are cooked not hardcoded. #ScreenshotSaturday

For a student project I made a game where you played against two AI. Team IDs were stored in a char_t, player was 0, the AI 1 and 2. My AI code would print debug information so I could inspect it. By coincidence the console showed code page 437 characters. These smileys showed up instead of digits.

Characters from the 437 code page. These start with a black and white smiley, and the four suits used in a deck of cards.

My phone is 5+ years old. I’d want a new one for the battery but Apple only makes iPhones that are bigger in size than what I own now. 6 minutes of Safari is 15% battery life! Incredible numbers from Bluesky. Looking at more stats Bsky consumes consistently 50% less than browsing or retail apps.

At the top, a red downward graph icon accompanies the question: “Why are profitable companies laying people off?” The answer follows in orange: “Because the system rewards it.” Below, white bullet points explain the motivations: “Inflate stock prices,” “Satisfy shareholders,” “Maximize executive bonuses,” and “Chase short-term trends.” A bold white sentence reads: “This isn’t survival. It’s exploitation.” An orange starburst icon introduces “What can we do?” in orange text, followed by green checkmarks and white text listing actions: “Support unions and worker orgs,” “Call it out publicly,” “Vote with your wallet,” “Demand stronger labor laws,” and “Push for corporate accountability.” The bottom statement reads in bold white and orange: “Layoffs aren’t inevitable. They’re a choice—made by the powerful.”

I recently shared some stat that we're spending 30% CPU on finding the distance along a spline, what if we preprocess it into a LUT so we only check 5 line segments? Do I add redirection and reduce the LUT size merging cells, or allow hash collisions so that I have ~15 segments instead of ~5?

Programmer art. A cube that's used as a source of lookup. Any point within the cube could possibly have any of the 5 segments (connected via a white line) as the closest segment, so the cube stores the indices of those segments.

I was playing around with DeepSeek-R1. It's fun to have my own local LLM, and it's interesting that it shows you its thought process. However it's hilarious how the thought process and the response mismatch! I asked to make letters uppercase at random in the string "but you are the product".

Finally, "product." Starting with "p" as lowercase: "proDuct." Wait, maybe I should change more letters here. Let's see, "p" stays lowercase, but "r," "o," "d," "u," "c," "t"—maybe randomly capitalize a few. Maybe "r"
and "u" and "t." So, "prOduct."

Putting it all together: "BuT YoU arE thE prOduct."

Hmm, that looks a bit confusing but still somewhat readable. I should make sure to mention that this is a playful twist and that the original message might be harder to decode if more changes are made.

I also want to keep the response friendly and offer further assistance if they need adjustments. So, I'll present it clearly and ask if they want any changes tweaked.

Sure! Here's your message with some random uppercase replacements:

**"BuT YoU aRe ThE pRoDucT."**

Let me know if you'd like me to make more or adjust anything!
