Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced.
This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.
More than 250 years before Pantone, an artist documented every imaginable color in a 900 page book. In 1692, A. Boogert wrote a Dutch book about mixing watercolors and how to create specific hues by adding water.

Depth-aware light injection in TypeGPU
I got a 448x448 monocular depth model down to ~8 ms on my M4 Pro across ~250 dispatches, which is fast enough to use in realtime :D
Since the inference is written directly in TypeGPU, I can just feed the depth buffer straight into the lighting pass. It never has to leave the GPU or go through any extra synchronization/interop step
Inference, lighting and draw all go through the same command encoder.
Finally spent enough local compute to process the partial recording of partial solar eclipse last week. This eclipse is too close to horizon, so you get all the clouds you (don't) want. But you can still pull things out! Full + specs: https://t.co/tMQ1ibklVw
NEVER FORGET: once your culture is gone, it's gone forever.
Government education has (deliberately) failed to teach the Great Books of the West for decades.
So, we started an independent group to study the Western canon together. We're reading the books that form the mind and shape the spirit. The books our ancestors read.
Western Civilization has given us the greatest works ever known, but it takes effort and an open mind to read them. Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Dante, Shakespeare, and Milton are not just names in a syllabus, but guides to a deeper and more ordered life.
Join our reading group to study the great works in dialogue with others. We read a new classic every 4-6 weeks, and meet biweekly to discuss.
We are just starting The Brothers Karamazov, the greatest psychological novel ever written. You do NOT want to miss this.
Take out a paid subscription if you'd like to support us and join the discussions directly — it makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate.
You'll get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next
