<p>Yes, this is exactly what this website is for, and the interactive examples put you right in to programming in glsl and give such an awesome base to experiment.<p>There are plenty of resources out there as you get more advanced, but imo bookofshaders is a great starting resource.</p>

<p>I learned so much from this website many years ago when I was first discovering webgl programming. It is unfortunately unfinished, yes, but those unfinished chapters on advanced topics make for curiosity and the desire to learn more. There are plenty of other resources that fill in the details, but this is a great beginner guide.</p>

<p>You write this because you don’t understand what people in Iran have been dealing with for the past 45 years.<p>It is one thing to not like the political leadership, but another thing if the government oppresses the population.<p>Those of us in America are privileged that we can’t fathom what that means.</p>

<p>People living outside Iran participating in these protests have no idea what they are doing.<p>On the reddit NewIran sub, they were mocking a picture of somebody at one of those rally’s holding a giant IRGC flag… upside-down.<p>I wouldn’t use numbers of “useful idiots” showing up at rallies as a way of demonstrating internal support for the Iranian regime.<p>Surveys suggest around 70-80% are anti-regime, which makes sense considering the regime’s history of hangings and imprisonment for minor offenses.  The people of Iran want the regime to end.</p>

<p>The moment is that the regime is severely weakened and is struggling to deal with an external war, with very few weapons left.  Many heads of their military were eliminated and they are scrambling to put the pieces back together.<p>Couple that with a population of at least 80 million people who hate the regime and only didn’t fight back because the regime had physical power over them.</p>

<p>Even if it is only set back by a few months, that is enough time to put pressure on Iran to abandon it altogether.<p>Keep in mind, Israel has full aerial control over Iran and has taken out hundreds of their missile launchers.<p>We can keep pounding the various nuclear facilities and hinder ant chances of rebuilding, making any effort futile.</p>

<p>You’d be surprised, but the people of Iran have been waiting for this moment for years. There are 80 million people who want the end of the regime.<p>Whether this fulfills that goal, we will see, but anything that weakens the regime is good for the Iranian people.</p>

<p>Case in point. Even the mainstream media does not tell what is actually happening in Gaza, despite the many journalists on the ground there, and you heard "genocide" and immediately think - or "know" - that is something that Israel is doing.</p>

<p>Could we train an AI model on the corpus of physics knowledge up to the year 1905 and then see if we can adjust the prompt to get it to output the theory of relativity?<p>This would be an interesting experiment for other historical discoveries too. I'm now curious if anybody has created a model with "old data" like documents and books from hundreds of years ago, and see if comes up with the same conclusions as researchers and scientists of the past.<p>Would AI have been able to predict the effectiveness of vaccines, insulin, other medical discoveries?</p>

<p>Sometimes the ask is something that <i>you want</i> to improve your own experience at the company. Let's say the ask involves improving the quality of the code that you work on every day. You know your boss will not say "yes" because refactoring does not have an apparent value. But you are confident that if you can some time to work exclusively on some refactor, it will be a benefit not only to the company, but to your future self. I think the advice in the article is a solid way to go about asking for that.</p>

<p>Years ago, I set up <a href="https://mitmproxy.org" rel="nofollow">https://mitmproxy.org</a> on a Raspberry Pi and used it to get logs of every site that my kids would visit. I should be clear that monitoring/spying != parenting, but it definitely made me feel a little better to have some idea of what the kids are using the internet for.<p>From a technical perspective, it did exactly what you want. I had logs of full urls (not just domains). So, for example, I could view what they googled and when, if I wanted to anyway.<p>It did involve installing a certificate on the computer that they use, but there are how-to guides so setting everything up was simply a matter of following instructions.<p>The biggest drawback is that it noticeably slowed their internet. I imagine if I had run this on a more  powerful computer it may have been better.<p>---<p>Note, for those suggesting PiHole, it is very good for getting logs of domains accessed, but not very informative. For example, you can tell that a computer accessed "youtube.com" at a certain time, but not what was actually viewed. That may be obvious to many of us, but just clarifying in case it is not obvious to the OP.</p>

<p>I do not use TikTok so maybe I do not understand, but how does TikTok influence its users? I thought content comes from other users. Does TikTok decide which content to promote? And if so, what exactly are they promoting that is threatening to the United States?</p>
