That they're only giving this guy six months is an insult to women. #halifax

#godot gamedev question, shaders, GLES2 vs GLES3
Okay so does anyone good with #godot 3.5 know why this shader pulls in different normals in GLES3 than it does with GLES2? It's ruining my normal map generation and I've spent the whole day trying to figure it out to no avail.
Pictured: How it looks in GLES2 (desired!), How it looks in GLES3 (not what I want!), and the visual shader graph. The shader also has cull disabled and is set as unshaded.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

It should be lost on noone that this fantastic presentation on one of the most important and advanced #AI topics that we're dealing with today, begins with the inability to get a slideshow to work.
We focus on the wrong things sometimes.

Here is a splendid shot of #electronicmusic #pioneer Daphne Oram working her tape machines at the #BBC Studios in the early 1960s (and yes, Delia Derbyshire is also going to get the treatment!)
This #colorized picture is a part of an #ongoing series of pictures of #unsungheroes of 20th Century music, refreshed and reprocessed at high resolution for a more lifelike appearance.
#newyearsresolution is strictly #highresolution ! #radiophonicworkshop
Fantastic look at the present state of #AI and what we're missing. (Behind a paywall, unfortunately).

I've pledged to read 18 books for the Goodreads 2023 Reading Challenge.
The Medium news is cool but it's already being misrepresented as though they brought Medium into Fediverse compliance. They have not. They set up an instance of Mastodon -- same has thousands of other users have. That's important because if they *did* decide to make Medium ActivityPub compliant, like PixelFed, FunkWhale etc. that would be HUGE news.

Elon right now: "There's a Singapore office? Why didn't anyone tell me!"
"Sir, you fired the local Asia rep."

Me at the office: "Hi, have you got a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, Semantic Web?"
If someone purchased a self-help book called "Overcoming Perfectionism" -- isn't that an indicator of a sort of narcism?
Say it with me:
"No agenda. No attenda."
A scientist behind an actual science-based research program into Happiness weighs in on what they've determined so far about what makes us happy. SPOILER: There are no surprises.
The Banshees of Inisherin: Great movie -- very entertaining, moving and with great performances. But what are the writer and director trying to say? If there's a message, I am not sure I received it.
Our IPA Will Jam Your Face with Hops - McSweeney’s Internet Tendency
"...perhaps you don’t have the guts to drink an octuple-IPA that’s caustic grains are mashed over actual lava sourced from Ethiopia’s Erta Ale volcano while loudspeakers crank out Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” on a loop inside an abandoned underground nuclear testing site."
