this does not compress well at all: almost 4mb for 150 frames

there's *some* set of parameters that will make this look good, I can feel it

@grainloom imitation; it was just the most succinct way I could think of to describe it for the alt-text

hey [modern web browser], can I run this webapp that hasn't been updated in six months?browser: oh no, that's hopelessly outdated, we've changed all the APIs and, if I may speak candidly as a browser just looking out for your safety and privacy, I'm a bit concerned that you'd want to run software that oldhey windows, can I run this .exe from 1998?windows: I don't see why not

@eqffmpeg invocations are like spells, crafted by wizards from a long-dead era, truly understood by no-one, guarded carefully

seeing just how tiny triangles I can make this draw with a 0.1mm pen (answer: fairly tiny)

@namark @cancel But how does GPL/AGPL help the actual *developer* to get paid though? Charging for support doesn't work (and you can charge for support just as well on MIT), and dual licensing works at the cost of abandoning the ethical pretext of free software.

@namark @cancel GPL (and also MIT/BSD/etc.) software is often used as a kind of uncompensated labor you do to build a "resume" to get hired as an "actual developer" to then develop proprietary software, but I think that's a... problematic situation on multiple frontsyour other suggestions boil down to 'charity' and 'paid support' and I think those have not really worked out

@namark @cancel and I think the fundamental problem is that free software, and also open source, operate like gift economies, but everything else like "food" and "housing" and "healthcare" are market economies, and when a gift economy and a market economy meet, the gift economy will just be ruthlessly exploited, and I'm not sure this mismatch can be addressed through *licenses*

@namark @cancel I wish I knew how to express this better, because you seem to have classified me as an enemy. I wish we lived in a world where people could freely give away code for the benefit of everyone without having to beg for money on patreon or from corporations. But I think the GPL, although noble in spirit, is not a complete answer, because it it only compels people to *repay code with more code*, it does not compel people to *pay for code with food and housing and healthcare*.

the algorithm "take a sphere and just subtract random other spheres out of it" produces surprisingly interesting structures

if you allocate a 3d texture on gpu but never upload data into it, and then treat this unallocated texture as a volume and raymarch into it, you get some interesting results
