You Can See Everything is the best PR Holmes has ever gotten. She wanted a documentary that would make people sympathize with her. She got one. We've been manipulated. SHE WON.

If you need a random color (e.g. procedurally coloring objects), you should use Oklab or Oklch color space instead of RGB or HSV. RGB may span the whole spectrum, but it does not pick fairly (leaning dark/muddy). Oklab is designed to more closely map to how we perceive color

Kenney needs to get a fucking grip man he was trying to tell mrdoob that threejs was slop because some contributions to the codebase were agent-assisted, would probably say the same shit to linus torvalds
Replying to @KenneyNL
This is bullshit, Kenney. I’m the same tech tree following optimist who moved from C to C++, from 2D to 3D, and from closed source to open source. I run a company. I write code. I contribute to published papers. I’ve upped my expectations of AI. Up yours!

John Provencher (@hahajohnx) is a NY based master of the retro mutating pixel and energy field illustration. His stuff for Bloomberg, A24, and NYT is just so so good. Total legend. [Link↓]
