How To Fake An Ocean

[@AtomicFrontier]

Best thing about this episode was seeing how crazy we could make the wave conditions. Apparently “most of boat is out the water” isn’t something that normally constitutes good research.

[@monad_tcp]

wait, you can break the computer by over-stressing it in a simulation, then I realized, we are probably talking about massive supercomputers basically already running overclock with thousands of CPUs optimized to give absolute computing power over anything else, push it a little harder and CPUs literally burn out from the heat alone, not like the normal desktop/servers we use for computing that are designed to withstand 100% abuse for eight years straight (servers are literally under-clocked to save power and last more).

The fact that you had to slow down the recordings to account for the fact that gravity is constant was a mind blowing "of course". Thanks for the wonderful educational content!

I see a new Tom Scott in the making. Also, I see that you use Z for up and X&Y for the horizontal plane, as is only right and proper. :D

[@StuffandThings_]

Screw horoscopes, what's your preferred arrangement of axes? I'm personally more of a Y-axis up cause I'm used to graphing calculators.

[@parnikkapore]

I usually think of the 2D plane as a floor, not a wall. Hence Z is up 😌

[@guitargirl1517]

Minecraft's Y axiz being up always confuses me.

[@defectivepikachu4582]

but y is for going up in a 2d graph plane anyways

[@danielhale1]

When Y is up that means you assume some arbitrary wall is Y, which doesn't really make sense for most 3D environments. I much prefer x and y defining the floor, which is the 2D plane the player moves across the most (z movement is by far the least common, unless you're in a space game where there truly is no such reference plane). The only time Y being up is attractive is when you're coming from 2D games and wanting that to translate somehow into a 3D world, and IMO that's a bad habit. Perhaps I'm just be rationalizing something equally as arbitrary... but Z being up is the most logical, you can write that on my tombstone. Better yet, make the tombstone an arrow labeled Z, pointing up to the heavens as god intended. :P

Back in WWII my grandfather trained on a submarine simulator. It was all mechanical back then. They didn't even have a periscope, only a kaleidoscope.

On the one hand, its crazy how much we can simulate in computers now. On the other, its crazy just how much we _can't_ yet. Although that being said, fluid dynamics has to be one of the more complicated things you could pick to try and simulate (as well as one of the more important ones). I'm really excited for how crazy we could make these sorts of things in a few decades.

Great video - just a piece of advice about 8:00 - in the future when filming LED screens, or some lights, etc adjust your shutter speed in the camera to match the frequency that the LED / light source is at, if you get it right it'll remove the rolling bars on the LED screens. (if you are filming at 25fps for example, if the LED panel is outputting at 50hz, set the shutter speed to 180 degrees)

All this talk of feedback loops and wave generation makes me think of building synthesizers.. which is exactly what's going on but for life saving rather than artistic expression. Also when James said "like piano keys replicating the symphony of the ocean" I learned he's a bit of a romantic. ✨💙
