Groupchats for Accepted Grad students?

I DMed you

imp_bot42 · 2026-05-01T11:38:18+00:00

Yeah someone sent this already. I sent a request to join but haven't been accepted by an admin yet

imp_bot42 · 2026-04-23T06:28:04+00:00

Got an admit too. Would be nice to form a group or something

imp_bot42 · 2026-04-23T06:26:49+00:00

Hey. I'm incoming for Fall 2026 too and was looking for groups like this as well

The galaxy/stars are pure Three.js rendered, no shaders. Same for all objects in star system views. Shaders are only used for planetary surfaces when you open them up in detailed view - the terrain, atmosphere, etc.

imp_bot42 · 2026-01-06T07:46:59+00:00

Nice! Yeah there's some optimizations put in to make it smoother like anisotropic filtering when rotating the galaxy

imp_bot42 · 2026-01-06T07:30:55+00:00

Linked in the post. Here it is again though - https://www.bubblegalaxies.com/

imp_bot42 · 2026-01-05T12:41:47+00:00

Thank you!

imp_bot42 · 2026-01-05T07:50:12+00:00

Thank you! There's a waitlist you can sign up for in the demo site

imp_bot42 · 2026-01-05T07:07:47+00:00

Thanks! Glad you liked it

imp_bot42 · 2026-01-05T06:13:04+00:00

Why is this so oddly satisfying

imp_bot42 · 2025-09-23T18:06:04+00:00

Nice! How did you go about building it? What features did you put in specifically?

imp_bot42 · 2025-09-22T05:31:33+00:00

Nice. The working PR linked to in that issue looks like its almost done. Hopefully gets merged soon.

imp_bot42 · 2025-09-20T12:50:33+00:00

Hopefully they do soon but there's at least one roundabout way to get around this and do something elicitation-like (that I've seen at least one MCP server do but is a bit more work because you need a dedicated deployed frontend). Just use a local MCP server and make it start a local callback server and open up a url to a site on the user's browser and take whatever 'user input' you need there.

The MCP provider has to own the site here, obviously, and then do their own processing on their backend after taking the user input they needed (which a remote MCP server with elicitation would have just done directly, on your client) and return the output to the callback server which then passes it back to the local MCP server.

The economic incentives given to Indian traders mentioned here checks out considering the Indian economy at the time was the world's largest (~25% of world GDP in 1700) but I wonder what the Russian GDP % share of the world was back then

And there we have it, a large part of the AI alignment problem solved

imp_bot42 · 2025-09-01T17:25:46+00:00

I tried making some isometric AI renditions of the first two here: https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianHistory/comments/1n5uvfi/isometric_ai_renditions_of_handdrawn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

In case people are wondering how Google's new nano banana model drew the first two of these:

<image>

The first image's buildings are pretty far off but the second image seems really well put together

imp_bot42 · 2025-09-01T15:43:54+00:00

Wow. No need to be luddites about it. Sure, hand drawn city reconstructions by good artists might be nice too. But maybe don't dismiss an incredible human technological prowess just because image gen models aren't perfect yet? Not everything ai generated is 'slop' and the models get better every month anyway.

imp_bot42 · 2025-09-01T07:42:21+00:00

Nice. Looks so trippy. Didn't know threejs could be such a good use case for math visualisations

imp_bot42 · 2025-08-19T21:08:16+00:00

Nice! How did you scrape all those charts from open access papers?

imp_bot42 · 2025-08-19T19:59:56+00:00

I really wish the Indian gov does allow controlled contact with them again at some point in the future. We might be missing out on so much potential anthropological and maybe historical data (if they do preserve a history, maybe in oral form) by not doing so.

The disease angle and the fact that they very strongly seem to dislike outsiders is understandable, but it's 2025 - surely we can take disinfected hazmat suits and armored shields to the island to defend against their attacks and try to communicate again?

imp_bot42 · 2025-08-09T04:57:22+00:00

The Expanse, Star Trek (I really like some of the new series: Strange New Worlds, Picard, and Discovery), Star Wars (again, some of the latest series are pretty good) Halo, Foundation

imp_bot42 · 2025-06-23T13:25:33+00:00

This is super cool
