This is your brain on shaders (2021)

One of my favorites, rendered with many more samples than previously

It's based on this shader, but with different geometry https://www.shadertoy.com/view/wlyyWD

Turns out that Mastodon does not compress videos that you upload, though maybe this is an instance setting because it does have code for it https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/5c826c408db86c3b4abf4959c092ad4c5c807896/app/models/media_attachment.rb#L93

Also, thanks to the edit feature, I can go back and replace all the poorly transcoded gifs I've uploaded with nice clean mp4s

I’ve recently released gpu-io – a #webgl computing library for real-time physics simulations, particle/agent-based systems, cellular automata, image processing, and general purpose GPU computations.

Examples: https://apps.amandaghassaei.com/gpu-io/examples/
GitHub: https://github.com/amandaghassaei/gpu-io

gpu-io makes it easy to build GPU-accelerated apps without worrying about low-level WebGL details and browser inconsistencies. Designed for WebGL2 with fallbacks for WebGL1. WebGPU support is planned! More in thread 🧵...
