This is fine. !

I decided to go full NATO and upgrade to babylonjs 8, and remove all our monkeypatched internals - so this branch has got gnarly as fuck. !

But first.

I started work on some groupware for the openclaw web ui.

Israel is gonna start ww3 before they let trump TACO.

I got bower Wilkins px7se2 or whatever they are.

Ok I gotta stop for a bit but this is so trippy it's hard to tear myself away.

After a brief brainfart where I wanted to trace a bunch of rays and do some dewarping math - I remembered I have a GPU and RenderTargetTexture. !

Ok - we got the vibemap loading into a dynamic texture, so now a tiny bit of code to grab all the triangles in the frustrum and BRAA-A-A-P a texture onto them. !

That was some hardcore shit. !

!

its always nice when you discover that the terrible performance you were having was just because you got confused by the closing braces and were running the finalisation step inside the inner loop. o(x*y*z) speedup complete!

On the way to the AI shop I also just made a way better mesher. !

man this is beautiful !

Mondrian glitch art!

I love playing with meshers.

I can tell I'm going to regret one day, calling this vibefield. !

I have a grandstream android desk phone now.

Also - how sick does this palette look on the depth maps?

!

Did a vibe check with random lightmap UVs.

!

Back when I thought Zuck only kind of sucked, I made this parcel.

ok - i sadly cant use the basic-ass white walls to be recolored, control net and stable diffusion get all angry at each other. so i'm gonna slap in some babylon.js lighting to give it a bit of a hint, and then we'll see what it can do. !

Ok - so got a nice depth image + albedo channel out of voxels, then use img2img with control net to get a nicely textured image.

Well the world didn't end, so I'm back to working on voxels!

Well I gotta say I’m pleasantly surprised that the world isn’t ended!

My guess is the government doesn’t want to admit that Korea texted us to say they are stopping exports to us.

Fill up your tanks before 1pm gang because it’s gonna get crazy out there this afternoon. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/fuel-disruption-government-to-hold-1pm-press-conference-to-provide-update-on-iran-economic-response/ZPSW7UBE5BASPHT2EXF7G5JZSU/

Oh wow - Nicola Willis want's to blame rich people from Remuera with Porsche Taycans for driving the price of oil up.

And we're off. !

Here we go motherfuckaaaaaaaassss !

That feeling when you know you started that project but can't remember where you put it. * It had a Dockerfile * It provided a locked down unix environment * It had openclaw * With a bunch of vibe-coded groupware I was gonna call it botparty.

Oil markets start opening in 90 minues. hold onto yer butts

I’ll have to tell you about my story of Kapiti Aero Club some time.

Also want to get some more fuel for the work digger.

Right!

I’m pretty sure Netanyahu is still out there somewhere being a cunt.

If WW3 doesn’t start, New Zealand is still going to run out diesel in 2 weeks (by my guess of shipments, stocks in NZ, and mostly by the huge jump in diesel prices compared to other liquid fuels).

I actually think trump is going to TACO and Iran is gonna let him.

Refilled my 20L petrol container today for the mower, no queues yet, but the Gull stations ran out of gas this afternoon.

This guy is amazing with his analysis of how fucked New Zealand is on this energy crisis. https://substack.com/@energyandresilience/note/c-227398954

Korea is going limit oil exports.

I hope the Iranians decide to save us all.

Lovely swim.

ok i think it is now officially time for a swim and a beer. when i get back im gonna try out a few different ways of rendering these in realtime. i want to do splats / squats - but im vaguely tempted to try voxel estimation and UV packing (it wont work, b…

"this is an equirectangular albedo channel capture from a voxel game restyle it to make it look like a neon cyberpunk world" !

Oh hell yeah. !

I have hit the end of my coffee day and now have switched to beers and rock music.

"Hey gemini how do I take a equirectangular depthmap + albedo and convert it into an efficient gaussian splat representation?
