Steve Jobs demoing Core Animation at WWDC 2007.

A wall of a hundred playing videos. Instant zoom. Instant tag search. No dropped frames.

Comparing that to how a SwiftUI settings panel feels on Tahoe today just shows how far things have slipped.

According to this DARPA document dated August 13th, 2021, they knew at that time:
- Covid came from a lab
- That the mRNA 'vaccines' worked "poorly"
- That ivermectin worked (since April 2020)
- That hydroxychloroquine worked (ditto)

DARPA informed the Inspector General, and all parties chose to say nothing to the public about any of it.

Let that sink in...

I'm going to say this again for those at the back: hundreds of thousands of TONS of books —some of them "rare" in the sense that obsolete books on Windows 95 programming or service manuals for Singer sewing machines from 1985 or books of racist jokes from 1958 are "rare"— are pulped or landfilled every year. It's illegal to digitally archive them because the PUBLISHERS won't allow it. If AI companies are diverting them to use for training on the way to being thrown out, that's GOOD, actually. The reporting on this is custom-crafted to be rage-bait for normie middle-class liberal book lovers, and you all are falling for it hook, line and sinker. Just complete suckers. Nobody is shredding Gutenberg bibles or the Codex Gigax here.

This week's issue of Animation Obsessive features a wonderful article about Studio Ghibli's color designer, Michiyo Yasuda. Her work was just gorgeous; I've always admired how Ghibli films keep a more toned down natural palette without going muddy/murky.

Summary: there is an extremely subtle bug in the Linux kernel (not a security hole, just a bug) that was causing a rare segmentation fault in ripgrep. US AI models refused to help Daniel debugging it for “safety reasons”. Thus, he was forced to use Chinese open source models to find the problem — which he successfully tracked down given their help. A real shame that he couldn't use American models to find the problem.

Complete with a fake town and Ice Cream Parlor, in 1944 the Allies secretly laid flexible pipelines in the English Channel under the code name Operation Pluto to keep fuel flowing after the Normandy landings.

These lines, based on adapted submarine cable technology and spooled out from special ships and giant floating reels called Conundrums, ran from England to ports like Cherbourg and later Boulogne.

Pumping stations on the English coast were hidden in plain sight, disguised as ordinary seaside bungalows, cottages, and even Brown’s Ice Cream Parlor so German reconnaissance would see nothing but a quiet holiday town.

By early 1945 the network was pumping nearly a million gallons of gasoline a day, and by VE Day it had carried well over 170 million gallons across the water, helping keep Allied tanks and trucks moving all the way into Germany.

Ocarina of Time, running natively on iOS and iPadOS for the first time.

Not an emulator. Ship of Harkinian has run on Windows, Linux, macOS, Switch, Wii U, and Android. Never iOS. Now it runs on iPad, with iPhone in the build too.

The game was decompiled to C and rebuilt as a native ARM64 app rendering through Metal. No N64 hardware being simulated, no ROM interpreted at runtime, no streaming from a Mac.

It isn't stuck at the N64's 240p and 20fps. Widescreen, full resolution, 60fps.

This game deserves a controller, so controller support is native. Pair a Bluetooth controller and play the whole thing. Touch, keyboard, and mouse work too.

I used Codex 5.6 Sol to build the iOS layer. Open sourcing it all below.
