A 3D scatterplot examines 703,560 possible combinations of kart customisations Mario Kart Deluxe, evaluating speed, acceleration, weight, handling and other attributes. The conclusion is Peach as a driver of the Teddy Buggy with roller tires and the cloud glider. 

Statistically, which is the best Mario Kart Deluxe kart combo out of all 703,560 possible customisations? Now this is data science!
(&TLDR Peach, Teddy Buggy, Roller Tires, Cloud Glider :)

Here's a really cool, well made video about a startup working on generating power from ocean waves.

For every hardware startup like this there are a zillion AI calendar app startups or whatever. We should be aiming for that ratio to go the other way.

The Hovercar Framework for Deliberate Product Design • Lea Verou Many teams start with the MVP. But what if the key to shipping great products wasn’t starting small — but starting big? Could great products start at the finish line?

🔥 [New blog post!] The Hovercar Framework for Deliberate Product Design

How, paradoxically, explicitly fleshing out the ideal solution to a product problem (The North Star UI) can end up *both* saving time and frustration *and* improving the product.

When matsuoka-601 dropped his WebGPU fluid simulation demos, they left everyone in awe—pushing the limits of what's possible in the browser with breathtaking realism and incredible performance. 💦

Now, he's been kind enough to take us behind the scenes: tympanus.net/codrops/2025...

It's an any% speedrun of our GPU-driven rendering, shadows, global illumination, water, and DoF, involving a few weird tricks.

An interesting creative exercise visualising a tiny dataset in 100 different ways:

My latest article is about one of my favorite techniques in graphics - Müller's method of Polar Decomposition.

It also details some variations, including one which is ~2x faster to compute with more regular convergence.
