Oh, JerryRigEverything retweeted me. No wonder my post is doing numbers

Phil says this is stupid because radiators are a "solved problem" but then stops short of extrapolating what that means. The radiator surface area they specify is about the right size for the math to check out. You can make pretty much any physics "work" if you scale the right values on paper. The feasibility isn't about physics, its about economics. For a moderately sized 100MW "data center" you'd need a fleet of close to 700 satellites to match its earthly alternative. That's an ISS's worth (the most expensive single structure ever built by humanity) of radiators, 700 times over, for a single "data center". To put that into perspective that's about 73,000 m² or roughly 14 football fields worth of surface area The costs to build such a fleet is insane compared to the the earthly alternatives we have yet to exploit and it assumes a lot of things that might not continue to hold true - like wattage per op staying constant. It’s like someone looking at room-sized computers in the 50s and extrapolating that we are going to have a land crisis and starts imagining large floating sea platforms to host our computing future

I'm looking for work! - Characters - Environments - Animations Whatever your voxel needs, I can do it 💪 I've worked on Teardown, Vampire Crawlers Moonglow Bay, and many more! Feel free to DM me and check out my site Voxels.ca

This is the stuff that’s so hard to prioritize at big companies but makes the world of difference. Explaining to a PM why we need to spend x more time on polishing an existing feature vs building the next one is always an uphill battle

Fun to see people applying the voxel-DSS normal trick after sharing it. While per-voxel normals aren't a novel concept, modern games have shied away from it I think largely due to standard graphics pipelines assuming face-shading. It's great to see a renewed interest.

Just published the source code and research paper to this approach. Repo also includes a demo voxel editor to try out yourself. github.com/DanFessler/voxel-…

I was curious what it would look like if you set the normals per face but still tried to do that smoothly. Here is the result. I think this would work well in something like Minecraft where you still want the voxel geometry to be clear.

we scrapped our Zelda-inspired Battle Royale game and turned it into an online adventure RPG that feels like a mini-MMO with top down combat coming 2026

Literal pixel art gods dropping ancient lore like that on the timeline 🥵 I love how grok seamless autotranslate dissolved linguistic silos. This part of Twitter wasn’t accessible to us before.

Just bought this awesome thing to use as physical knobs/sliders for painting in photoshop. It rocks, so I had to share a video

why is every high-end camera's UI stuck in the pre-iphone era of UI design. they're all hot garbage

A good friend of mine is looking for a pixel artist to collaborate with on his game. It’s already pretty fun!

I don’t even know how I feel right now… but the Littlelands demo is finally ouuuuut! It’s just a demo, but if you give it a try, it would mean everything to us. 💚🥹

I wanted XNA-like sprite batching for the web, so I made it exist: spritebatch.com
