This illustrates the full process of capturing the "Essence" of a mesh to be used in a morph. The distance field is retrieved and then the mesh is projected onto the cube-shaped "screen" in order to pack its surface properties into two cubemaps.

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.

I forget who, but years ago someone once referred to my Atari videos as the "Velvet Underground" of historical retrospectives in that they didn't get massive viewcounts but were influencing how other people considered their approaches and perspectives

this is the way to learn with ai. you can start anywhere and backfill. you have to remain curious and careful and not just passively eat up plausible explanations. but if you put in the effort and the model is good, it’s powerful
The old path: Learn Lean (6 weeks), study abstract algebra (8 weeks), understand group theory (4 weeks), finally attempt your proof.

The new path: Start with your exact problem. Generate a tutorial for it. Backfill concepts as you hit them.

ICYMI – For my first original Access Granted report, I spoke with disabled players unable to afford the continuous rising prices of games, systems, and tech. If these trends continue, they say the disabled community will undoubtably be alienated from gaming. Read more here:
With the continuous rise of prices for games, systems, and tech, and as companies like Xbox announce further increases for services like Game Pass, some disabled individuals are choosing to forgo AAA gaming altogether. Read my latest Access Granted report here:
