And here are some colored ones. Working in CMYK is pretty interesting, would be cool to do more using that. #glsl #computergraphics #gamedev

And as stated, drawing sine waves through the points lets them be made as one continuous line that in theory doesn't overlap. Tried a Hilbert curve too, but that doesn't look as good

Can't do this with both x and y position at once though, as then the weight is collected at a different position than it originally was intended for. Looks interesting though

Explored this some more, and realized if I generate a weight for each row in the image based on the lightness, then travel through 128 points based on those weights, I can use that to draw sine waves later. #glsl #computergraphics #gamedev

I spent way too long on Hilbert curves before realizing I could just swap to a gaussian downsampler and have lines. Plus it makes it look a lot better when animating the waves #glsl #computergraphics #gamedev

CMYK did wonders! Had some trouble with figuring out how to handle black pixels and mixing the colors correctly, but the colored images turned out all right! Line-art is still struggling a bit, but I'm converting horizontal lines to Hilbert curves might fix that? #glsl #computergraphics #gamedev

I saw a video about machines that draw with a single line, so I wanted to try programming that myself. Slowly getting there, but I think I need to simulate CMYK. #glsl #computergraphics #gamedev

Youtube just banned a link for crediting the music I used. Presumably because it's called breaking copyright and some LLM thought that it promotes illegal activity. The EU wants to use this technology to spy on you. If you're a EU citizen, please contact your MEPs: fightchatcontrol.eu #chatcontrol

It's fun to install/update large steam games, because steam uses 100% of my CPU to do so, which causes my computer to black out multiple times during the process and halts anything else I'm doing. Listening to music creates a really fun distortion & glitch effect, and videos skip back and forth.

At least he's self-aware about it, lol

A community post by Quintheo:

The Pirate Software Milking is coming to a close. (Edit: Lmao sike he lied like 10 minutes after I posted this)

It appears that Pirate has began to quiet down. I have a video talking about an argument made about him getting sued which will be out today, but after that I haven’t seen anything new/useful to share with you guys.

Obviously if there’s more you’ll see a video, but I want to make it clear, it wasn’t my goal to “milk” PS, there just always seemed to be an update each day I posted.

If you’re new and have enjoyed the attempt at staying level headed through this drama, let me know what you’re interested in seeing me cover. Also join the discord if you want to play games, talk drama and send me links to drama you find interesting: https://discord.gg/srt2FUNp

With all that being said, thank you so much for the support. The goal was 50k by the end of the year, and the new 60k goal was also smashed. I’m going to try for 100k and post as much as I can until we get there.

Biggest way that I want to stand out is making sure I’m never posting a rehashing of something I’ve already told you and staying level with my coverage. I just want to share things that I think are new to most people and feel like it’s worth the time you spend looking for entertainment and news from me.

This will mean I probably won’t do anymore cut down videos from streams if I get too excited from the viewership. I think I get too interested and swayed by the viewers, as opposed to remaining objective, and I don’t like that bleeding into my main uploads (this next vid I think I did a good job with that though)

Short novel done lmao, see yall soon

This is also why for observer A, they both start emitting at the same time, while from B's perspective B turned on the flashlight first! Because they're "spacelike separated" it's possible for the order in which they got hit by light to be reversed for A and B, depending on your frame of reference.

Title: Spacetime Diagram: Relative Motion and Light Signals

Overview: A 2D spacetime diagram with time (t) on the vertical axis and position (x) on the horizontal axis. It shows two observers, A (stationary) and B (moving at 0.8c), their worldlines, light signals, and key events. The diagram demonstrates how event order differs between frames.

Key Takeaway: The diagram shows the relativity of simultaneity—event order depends on the observer’s frame.

Key Elements:
1. Observer A: Vertical worldline at x = 0 (blue).
2. Observer B: Diagonal worldline at 0.8c (red).
3. Light Signals: Dashed 45° lines (green for A’s light, purple for B’s light).
4. Events:
- E1: A starts flashlight at t = 0, x = 0 (black).
- E2: B starts flashlight at t = 0, x = D (black).
- E3: A receives B’s light at t = 4D/c, x = 0 (black).
- E4: B receives A’s light at t = 4.5D/c, x = D (black).
- Transformed to B’s frame: E1', E2', E3', E4' (orange).
5. Event Times in B’s Frame:
- E1': t' = 0.00, x' = 0.00.
- E2': t' = -1.33, x' = 1.67.
- E3': t' = 6.67, x' = -5.33.
- E4': t' = 6.17, x' = -6.67.
6. Parameters:
- Velocity (v): 0.8c.
- Distance (D): 1 unit.
- Lorentz factor (γ): 1.67.

Interpretation:
- Vertical axis: Time (t).
- Horizontal axis: Position (x).
- A’s worldline: Vertical (stationary).
- B’s worldline: Diagonal (moving at 0.8c).
- Light signals: 45° lines (speed = c).
- Events E1-E4: Marked in A’s frame and transformed to B’s frame.
- Order reversal: In A’s frame, E3 happens before E4; in B’s frame, E4 happens before E3.

At higher speeds the left particles get red-shifted because they spawn further apart, while the right particles are blue-shifted. Since each particle can be thought of as the top of the light-wave, it's the same as the frequency of the light changing. This is also called the doppler effect!
