I would welcome and participate in a community effort or other way to evolve the current For You into a widely mirrored/distributed and resilient variant that’s independent of any single point of failure (spacecowboy or bsky or other). The building blocks should be widely understood and available
on one hand bluesky should offer to host spacecowboy's feed on their infra so that a single guy isn't paying out of pocket to support a loadbearing feature for thousands of users

on the other it's cool that it stays up when bluesky's feeds crash

Material Maker (Godot-based) seems to have gained quite a lot of Substance-like capabilities!?

Boy the sense of presence at a mountaintop heli drop and a narrow canyon line is insane — So must also be the complexity of production

It's been said many times but the For You feed by @spacecowboy17.bsky.social really is quite good.

The growth of daily active users of For You has been mostly driven by "large sharing events". But since the last such event the trend has changed and the number of users started to steadily climb up:

Good VisionOS learning project maybe 🤔
I’ve long thought the most immediate use for XR glasses would be ad blocking.

ChatGPT 5.1’s take below. Maybe time for an art/social commentary project using a high-quality passthrough VR headset like Varjo’s? I bet you could distill this into a real-time model good enough for making the point.

Still need to wrap my head around how exactly these map to audio signals in an ambisonic audio file (”360 audio image”)

Those are encoded using N order SH and more orders ~= more precision (~=directional resolution)
Just realised that a side-effect of putting up those spline tests the other day is that my Spherical Harmonics library test viewer is also available:

If you should need to play around with SH coefficients or rotations for some reason.

Toyota just demoed a personal mobility chair that literally walks—up stairs, sideways, and into a car.

Meet “walk me”: a four-legged, stair-climbing, height-adjustable mobility device aimed at seniors and people with limited mobility.

Cool: good(?) looking e-ink display, changeable image, multi-year battery, fits in frames

A canvas that looks like paint—but updates with your voice.

Fraimic is a color E Ink “smart canvas” that swaps art via voice, phone, or web—no app needed, no internet required. It fits standard frames, runs on a multi‑year battery, and uses Spectra 6 so images read like real pigment on canvas.
