Finished added vertex painting to Chisel!

Close to releasing my open source GUI library, just need to fix a couple of details and make it ready releasable Oh, and got a new design C++, high performance, immediate mode. Even supports tables with more than 50k items easily

oh and panels that can be dragged out into their own windows, or docked etc. forgot to mention that

Chisel now has double sided surfaces and trim decals (it already had decals) Also just committed the hotspot mapping support and chunking (divides the models surfaces into buckets so it works better with occlusion & culling)

double sided surfaces:

Someone should make a story about an archeologist from a place like Nepal, who goes on an adventure to discover the ancient mysteries of Europe

So both the US government and big tech are competing for capital. Because of this borrowing costs are ballooning for both. If big tech cannot borrow enough, the economy crashes. If the US government cannot borrow enough, the system breaks down.

Theoretically, if the tech industry could keep growing this until the moment it becomes profitable, the bubble would never pop. (But historically, the moment people when start to believe that a bubble will not pop, is when it pops)

And the only way out for the US government is to print money like no tomorrow, causing *lots* of inflation, which dilutes the real world worth of the debt .. This will create an international knock on effect, where other governments need to do the same .. So yeah, great. 🤦‍♂️

Been working on Chisel (3D CSG level editor) again now and then. I improved the quality of the CSG implementation a lot using uses exact floating point arithmetic. All black mesa maps can be now imported w/o errors. Chisel now also has 'water' brushes

I seemed to have uploaded the same image twice lol

"ECB official warns climate crisis poses growing threat to ‘core financial stability’" "eurozone lender of last resort was stepping up its monitoring of the financial risks linked to the destruction of “ecosystem services”, which are nature-related processes or assets that support human activity."

If only somebody could've warned us about these things, like in the 70s or something if only ...

I'm curious. People seem to really hate AI, but is this just for AI providers, or also for local AI's? Maybe you could use AI to automate processes that nobody would never do yourself/hire a person for? (e.g. write descriptions for assets for search Or automate parts of art pipeline (UV generation?)

So SpaceX is going to have an IPO and it's valuated at 1.5 trillion. It's a cool company (the space part that is), but if you invest in it you're a fool. It's not even profitable, and with this ridiculous valuation it'll only go down ...

So I'm installing samsung magician because apparently there's an issue with samsung ssd firmware that destroys your ssd if you don't have the right version ... ... and the installer asks if I live in a GDPR country ... now why would it ask this unless it otherwise would want to spy on you? 🤔
