Did PsiloSybil: Doing Innards:

[bad_vertex @BadVertexDev]

Daily begging you to help me test Innards, grab the latest alpha here

[bad_vertex @BadVertexDev]

No. The 3D character controller is the programmatic soul of the game, a bespoke piece of engineering. A "good enough" universal template will desoul indie games even further

[kumikumi (Ankkala) @ankkala]

Hear me out. Isn't this something that should ship with basically any game engine by default?

@NicoguerOG much appreciated, glad you had fun with it. No free checkpoints

Harold White is such a legendary inveterate scammer that if he was the inventor of sliced bread I'd start doubting that bread can even be sliced

Okay folks, this qualifies as BREAKING NEWS!

Harold “Sonny” White, the warp drive pioneer behind NASA’s EagleWorks Lab, just stepped out of stealth with Casimir Inc. to unveil MicroSPARC: the first battery free chip to harvest continuous electrical power straight from the quantum vacuum via the Casimir force.

The 5 mm × 5 mm device uses millions of custom microscale Casimir cavities fabricated on a substrate. Inside each cavity, two fixed conductive walls create a region of negative vacuum pressure (the well known Casimir effect). Stationary micropillars anchored in the middle act as antennas. Electrons from the cavity walls then quantum tunnel to the pillars because the interior is a lower energy “quieter” zone — and the probability of tunneling back is orders of magnitude lower. This one way “quantum ratchet” flow generates a measurable DC current with no external power source or moving parts.

Prototypes already fabricated at university nanofab facilities (Texas A&M AggieFab, MIT.nano) have been tested in RF-shielded, low noise chambers for weeks. The team reports outputs ranging from millivolts to volts at picoamp to microamp levels using precision electrometers and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy. Target performance for the first commercial chip: ~1.5 V at 25 µA (≈40 µW continuous). Stacking and scaling could reach milliwatts or even watts per device.

Initial applications are ultra low power: always on IoT sensors, wearables, and medical implants. Longer term roadmap includes trickle charging phones, powering small electronics, and eventually grid independent homes or EVs. Commercialization is targeted for 2028, starting at ~$100/W before dropping toward $10/W.

White ties the work directly to his earlier theoretical paper on emergent quantization from a dynamic vacuum and sees it as a practical power source for the deep-space missions he’s long championed.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and independent scientists have so far declined public comment. But if the engineering scales as hoped, MicroSPARC would represent a genuine paradigm shift: continuous, maintenance free power drawn from the fabric of spacetime itself.

A bold leap from warp-drive theory into real hardware. Progress (and vacuum-powered chips) marches on.

i’ve spent the past few months generating fake “extinct animals” with nano banana and making wikipedia articles for them. all backed up by book references that don’t exist. not a single article has been deleted yet out of hundreds. the future is here

[bad_vertex @BadVertexDev]

Rob is factually morally and spiritually correct and also expressed himself in the exuberant animal rage that the vile machines will only ever be able to parrot at best

[roon @tszzl]

an incredibly kino happenstance. ‘AI Village’ is an emergent storytelling narrative simulation of a bunch of AIs talking to each other and coming up with tasks to do and whatnot. on Christmas, one agent decides to send random thank you note to Rob Pike, inventor of golang & more

[Zy @ZyMazza]

The problem with the problem of evil is it only makes sense if you assume God exists, the very premise you’re trying to disprove.

If God doesn’t exist, there’s no objective standard to judge a reality as evil.

If He does exist, by definition good is whatever He does!

@SpolchenLives Technically wasm might be possible, but the large streaming assets, progress saving, architecture specific optimizations + all the shaders could prove massive headaches

[bad_vertex @BadVertexDev]

you simply can not outfreak a cusp viper

[bad_vertex @BadVertexDev]

@SpolchenLives It's a custom conformal projection (similar to Poincaré) of the hyperbolic plane and almost all projection work is performed on the CPU

[bad_vertex @BadVertexDev]

Uva is one of the most sophisticated models in Innards so far. Her mouth rig is designed to look like 2D animation. Her asymmetric design is a luxury, because frames need to be duplicated for left and right orientations.
