I hope I get a medal one day for bad project filenames:
LBP1 = ps3test1
LBP2 = ps3test1
LBP server = pagetest
Dreams = dd
Dreams server = aaa
Plinky = omgwtf
ooh something happening in .... 8 minutes? youtube.com/watch?v=KBkhu-4Jβ¦
more info at plinky12.com and over the coming weeks leading up to superbooth in berlin and release after that!
downloading & installing a win11 vm to test something out, im staggered how many gb of updates and how many hours (!) it takes to install and update itself from a freshly downloaded 4gb ISO. modern OSes man. smdh
TIL that web audio file import has terrible resampling with no antialias filter wtf. I whinged about this api previously: theres also no way to find out the sample rate of a file, without writing your own mp4/wav/aiff/ogg/etc parsers. its a perfect storm of shit...

Alex Evans @mmalex walks me through the entire process of designing hardware, from part selection through actual designs and even including ordering!
We're making our tiniest game console! Highly technical episode!
In the next part we will be implementing the software for the console after it arrives!

And btw, podcasts that are in various stages of release pipeline include:
- @mmalex Hardware from Scratch - live design of the tiniest game console
- @DelaneyGillilan on why JS sucks, but web itself doesn't (Datastar btw)
- @antovsky (one more Large Arrays of Things + joint Code Review of Anton's games from 2008)
- @miketuritzin on his SDF engine & upcoming game
- @filpizlo & @cmuratori on Fil-C & memory safety more broadly
- @zeuxcg on meshoptimizer (tons of cool awesome graphics info!!)
- @castano on his time at Nvidia, Thekla & Spark - realtime GPU texture codec (hats off!)
Since it's a lot the plan is to pick up the pace for couple of weeks and release two episodes weekly.
Are you ready?

The demoscene was a great way to learn how to build and ship.
βI had to come up with a concept, design, model, code, edit, sync... and "finish" it all before the deadline.
βYou should try making a demo someday.
fantastic video. love the dune closeup & decimation to simulate the inconsistency in game filtering. and h/t to the order 1886, a game graphically so far ahead of its time, most of us still havent caught up yet

I'm going to toot my own horn here: I publish a lot of articles, but I think this is one of the best I've put out this year
Here's a collection of useful patterns I've found after vibe-coding 150 different single-file HTML tools over the past couple of years simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/1β¦
ALT The anatomy of an HTML tool Prototype with Artifacts or Canvas Switch to a coding agent for more complex projects Load dependencies from CDNs Host them somewhere else Take advantage of copy and paste Build debugging tools Persist state in the URL Use localStorage for secrets or larger state Collect CORS-enabled APIs LLMs can be called directly via CORS Donβt be afraid of opening files You can offer downloadable files too Pyodide can run Python code in the browser WebAssembly opens more possibilities Remix your previous tools Record the prompt and transcript Go forth and build
ALT Screenshot of PyPI package changelog tool showing the differences between llm 0.27 and 0.27.1 with a copy diff button
ALT Screenshot of SVG to JPEG/PNG tool showing the classic SVG tiger with options to convert to JPG or PNG with a custom background color and output width

Radiance Meshes for Volumetric Reconstruction
π We made a thing!
A Radiance Field that is composited out of a triangle meshes that renders accurately the underlying volumetric field, with no popping AND faster than approximate methods like Gaussian Splatting.
