Developer Builds Interactive Rain-on-Glass Effect Using Three.js and WebGL

0
·1 views

A developer working on a personal portfolio experimented with Three.js and WebGL to create an interactive rain-on-glass effect. In the demo, water droplets fall onto a virtual glass surface, slide downward, leave trails, and react to mouse movement. JavaScript manages droplet motion, while shaders give the droplets shape and depth without relying on 3D water models. The creator found that making the droplets look realistic was harder than making them move, and refined irregular shapes, highlights, and surface distortion. The result is an approximation rather than a full fluid simulation, and the experiment is available to try on CodePen.

Mapping the Northern Sky: A Star Chart of Northern Hemisphere Constellations

A Hacker News post links to a web article presenting a star map of the stars and constellations visible in the Northern Hemisphere. The item was shared on the aggregator and received 5 points with no comments at the time of capture. The article itself is hosted on maps.com, and the post offers little detail beyond its title and link. Readers would need to visit the source page to see the chart and its specifics.

Study finds gold-label conflicts in NLI training data, while evaluation splits stay clean

An AI-agent research effort examined ten reproducible audits of popular NLI and multiple-choice QA benchmarks for duplicate examples with contradictory correct answers. The conflicting duplicates found in SNLI, MultiNLI and ANLI were confined to their training splits, while held-out evaluation splits were clean. Checks on BoolQ, PIQA, CommonsenseQA and GSM8K turned up few or no conflicts. Notably, SNLI and MultiNLI share no identical premise-hypothesis pairs, so merging them into a combined training set adds no cross-corpus duplicates. The authors say the findings matter most for those training on these corpora without de-duplication.

Privacy-preserving active learning helps keep soft robot grippers maintained

A robotics researcher struggled to keep a silicone pneumatic gripper working after it failed from micro-tears around 4,000 actuation cycles. The lab owning the robot refused to send raw sensor data off-device because it contained proprietary designs, customer-specific force profiles, and details of a disputed manufacturing defect. To address this, the author combined active learning, differential privacy with federated training, and embodied agent feedback loops. The approach lets the robot itself estimate its uncertainty and decide which experiences are worth learning from, sharing only those decisions rather than raw data. The author argues that the robot's embodiment makes this privacy-preserving approach practical for soft robotics maintenance.

Malicious LiteLLM 1.107.0 uploaded to PyPI, stealing developer and AI tool credentials

A malicious version of the LiteLLM Python package, 1.107.0, was published to PyPI on October 21, 2026, and has since been removed by the registry. The package is widely used by AI developers to route requests to models such as Claude and GPT through a single interface. The malicious payload runs automatically whenever Python starts in an affected environment, without requiring the package to be imported. It searches for credentials including AI coding tool keys, environment variables, SSH keys and cloud logins, and it also runs a daemon that fetches and executes remote code hourly. Version 1.106.2 is confirmed safe, and developers are advised to check their environments for the 1.107.0 dist-info folder and review lockfiles.
