Animator by day, still animating at night *sighs*

[habib kun @habibkun9]

realistic animation is the hardest thing to do and these legends most of them are insane animating with such a level of craft from their minds, none of these were rotoscope.

Fun fact: The underlying purpose of Al is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.

The ever amazing Toshiyuki Inoue ( @181ino ) doing his thing. It's one thing to animate a lively run cycle, but to do one with a distinct gait that also realistically reflects the physique of of the character ( in this case a teenage girl ), that requires some serious skill. 🥲

Came up with a real simple way to make these flasks look like they have liquid! 💦

1. Model glass & invert the normals
2. Model the liquid
3. Rig the liquid with a bone facing up
4. in engine apply "jiggle physics" with negative gravity

🚨 Anthropic just released a 27-minute workshop on how to prompt Claude properly.

Not from random AI gurus.

From the people who actually built Claude.

Free to watch.
No signup.
No paywall.
No recycled prompt hacks.
The first few minutes alone teach more practical prompting than most paid courses online.
If you use Claude for writing, research, coding, or automation, this is worth saving.
Watch it once.
Bookmark it for later.

Skip Netflix tonight.

Spend that hour with Joel Peterson’s Stanford lecture on negotiation instead.

It breaks down how to communicate, create leverage, and get better outcomes without sounding desperate or pushy.

Most people spend years learning this the hard way.

You can get the foundation in 60 minutes.

Bookmark it and watch it tonight.

New issue of Popeye, a Japanese menswear mag, looks great. It's a rare all-English edition and looks at how people from 18 different countries dress. Very aligned with my view of style: diversity and differences are good; dress is a form of social language. Avail at Kinokuniya

Richard Feynman ganó el Nobel de Física y dijo algo que dejó huella:

"La mayoría de personas saben muchas cosas. Pero no saben pensar."

Feynman dio una clase magistral de 1 hora sobre física e imaginación.

Sus 12 lecciones de vida:

1. La imaginación le gana al conocimiento

A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views.

He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult.

The lecture, “Study Less Study Smart,” contains a powerful framework.

Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. You’re still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed.

Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference.
He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into “Happy Thursday.” The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition.

This is why elaborative encoding works so well.

Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens.

His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your
behaviour, you have not actually learned it.

The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.

NEW: Disney reveals “ReActor,” a new method for Walt Disney Imagineering’s robotic character pipeline.

• Combines reinforcement learning with physics-based simulations to transfer human motion to characters

• Could be the next milestone for more lifelike robotic characters

The animation is so insane 😭 those back muscles go crazy

[Rei @Reipart_]

Always love seeing how different textures change the look!

[Eliot @CDTEliot]

the braintrust at pixar is a pure “standard‑holding” mechanism. it concentrates experience, pattern recognition, and taste, but not authority.

directors are obligated to listen and to engage seriously with the feedback, but they are not obligated to obey it.

so you still get the benefit of accumulated taste without freezing the system around a small set of decision‑makers. new work can still emerge that doesn’t look like the previous hits, because the standard is advisory rather than veto power.

basically, architect your organisation so that taste is maximally shared and consulted, but minimally centralised in the actual decision pipeline.

People romanticize college because for four years of their lives they:

1. Had all the rights of adults but none of the responsibilities.

2. Lived in a closed community with sealed borders that kept out low IQs and anti-socials.

3. Were young, energetic, healthy, and attractive.

4. Were thrown together with a bunch of similar people who had no predefined power- or need-based relationship with them, which is how friendships form.

This last is the important one, especially as fertility rates decline.

People with children transition to making friends with other parents of children in the same age group, because events and networks centered around those children throw them together with other parents in the same way.

But childless people have few or no opportunities to make friends after college. So they are left with a slow dwindling circle of college based relationships, remembering the days when it was all easy, and they weren't so isolated, and they didn't have to work so hard.

Couple that with having to complete with infinity immigrants in the job market, so they can pay taxes to support infinity boomers and government bureaucrats, while being passed over for the best jobs and careers in favor of infinity DEI incompetents, who they also have to support...

Well, for a lot of people born into what was once the American middle class, college was their first and last experience of an adult life wherein they weren't being systematically and deliberately routed into the formation of a new underclass.

A special form of underclass who are still expected to be productive enough to materially support all the non-producing people who were positioned as their social superiors despite being their intellectual inferiors.

So, yeah, they wish they could go back to college.

Is anyone surprised by this?
