    Found this really cool video of an iOS engineer showing real time specular shading based on the lights around you. Look I am not a fan of Liquid Glass in its current instance. However, I am still a fan of technical feats. Apple first introduced this in Apple wallet to cards and esp the Apple Card. Now they’ve made it part of the OS.

    Design considerations aside, the technical feat is impressive.

    Much like the genetic engineering behind Jurassic Park was impressive.

  3. "The #pyramids of ancient #Egypt are said to have shone brilliantly in the sun. Surfaces of polished limestone would not only have reflected diffusely in all directions, but would also likely have produced #specular reflections in particular directions. [...] On a particular day and time when the sun was properly situated, an observer stationed at a distant site would have seen a momentary flash as the sun's reflection moved across the face of the pyramid": arxiv.org/abs/2104.02642
