Wrote an interactive blog post about global illumination. There’s a surprise if you make it to the end. Also posted on Show HN if you want to join the discussion!

So I gave Fable 5 the watchmaker benchmark: a full Swiss lever movement in Three.js. Real gear ratios (18,000 bph), working escapement, breathing hairspring — and the hands tell actual time. It verified its own work with vision, in a loop, until done. ⌚
@ivanfioravanti In my experience (m4 max) high power mode vs low power mode is roughly 1.5-2x throughput on a given workload (obviously varies). Low power mode dramatically extends battery life - especially for long running jobs / sustained use. It also says cool and silent.
@hxiao Would love to see this coloration on a logarithmic scale. In my personal experience the Q8_0 is a significantly more stable and generally higher quality experience.
I've been playing with this too- I've done the libghostty + sdf rendering of terminals, but I've been more interested in making this work in general for the entire OS
All the demos I'm seeing are text moving all over the screen. But what about an editor with pixel perfect syntax highlighting? You can do it with only little effort on the web now.
My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
@LLMJunky Yeah Playwright MCP supports this too, but you need to install a browser extension. Chrome-dev-tools MCP it just works https://t.co/wsJk4vsk0S
@LLMJunky Ok not always- a few years. But other front end automation tooling has been able to connect to existing chrome and electron instances for over a decade. It's great for testing.
@LLMJunky > Not some sandboxxed Playwright instance
It's literally a sandboxed playwright instance lol. Playwright has always been able to control your browser and electron apps.
