Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
It's not a mystery that @pikuma is one of my favourite online educators. PERIOD. 👨🏫
Every course they produced feels fresh and interesting, and clearly shaped by true loved for the medium.
I wish I had access to those courses when I was a kid trying to learn gamedev on my own! 🥹

A video about regexes feels very appropriate for Halloween. 👻🔪
Did you know ^.?$|^(..+?)\1+$ tests for prime numbers? 😱

Just a few days ago, my documentary about Conway's Game of Life passed 1M views. ⠠⠵
This was my first "proper" long video, and is one that is very dear to me.
So thank you all for the support you've been giving me in the past four years! 💖

Anyone who has ever tried coding a gravity simulator based on Keplerian orbits will be intimately familiar with this equation:
M = E - e sin E
Kepler's equation links the Mean anomaly to the Eccentric anomaly, which are two different ways of measuring the angle of a planet orbiting its star. Solving this equation is a necessary step to predict the position of planets. And yet, there is no algebraic way to find the value of E, making this a transcendental equation.
In their latest video, @WelchLabsVideo explains not just the importance of this equation, but also the history behind the many attempts at finding a solution. Some of which led to the development of entirely new branches of Mathematics.

For over 20 years I've been passionately talking about the need to solve protein folding. Knowing that this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to David Baker, Demis Hassabis, and John M. Jumper for their work in this area feels very deserved.
I sincerely believe that technologies like AlphaFold will allow for a massive breakthrough in the development of new drugs, bringing a medical revolution not dissimilar to the discover of penicillin.

📣 A call to all Conway's Game of Life enthusiast out there! ⠠⠵
One of my favourite channels, @AlphaPhoenixChannel, has just posted a video about reversing Life ...or at least, trying to! 😅
This is such a difficult problem! And perhaps, exactly because it's so difficult, also super interesting! 🤓
Would love to hear your thoughts on this!!!

In case you missed it, @CorridorCrew is featuring my Minecraft documentary in their latest video about the "True Scale of Minecraft"! ⛏️ It was a lot of work to make, so I'm glad it helped! 😎

Google's DeepMind AlphaFold has been a revolutionary tool, and helped us finding a candidate structure for *all* known proteins.
AlphaProteo is promising to go one step further, allowing to design proteins that can bind to specific molecule. This could change completely how we approach the development of new drugs and treatments.
It's a problem so complex I've never thought I would have seen such a rapid development in my lifetime.

I've followed the work of @AngeTheGreat for quite some time, and I'm absolutely blown away by their mechanical sound simulations! If you like shaders, perhaps you'll find this interesting too!
