Cave Explorer turns real cave scans into an interactive web experience using point clouds, 3D Tiles, LOD, and real-time rendering. This article explains the data pipeline, browser performance challenges, remote exploration, digital heritage use cases, and future features.
AI DevelopmentCLAUDE.md vs Skills: Where Should Claude Code Instructions Go?
CLAUDE.md should not store every project instruction. This guide explains when to use CLAUDE.md, Skills, .claude/rules/, and Hooks in Claude Code, with examples and a decision tree for organizing project context, task workflows, scoped rules, and deterministic automation.
Product DevelopmentHow Far Can Crafting Apps Replace Adobe?
Crafting Apps is a suite of seven open-source creative applications aiming to cover key Adobe Creative Cloud workflows. This article compares their current maturity, Rust and local-first architecture, AI agent/MCP support, and potential as an agent-native creative suite.
AI DevelopmentCyc — 40 Years of Trying to Write Common Sense by Hand
Cyc is an AI project launched in 1984 to encode human common sense by hand. This article traces Douglas Lenat’s path from AM and Eurisko to CycL, microtheories, OpenCyc, the contrast with LLMs, and the renewed interest in neuro-symbolic AI.
Product DevelopmentMinimizing Release Downtime with Blue-Green Deployment
Blue-Green Deployment runs two environments in parallel so you can deploy and test a new version before switching traffic. This guide covers Nginx, Compute Engine, Cloud Build, instant rollback, database migrations, sessions, background workers, costs, and comparisons with Rolling and Canary.
Digital TwinIs Your “Digital Twin” Just an Expensive 3D Model? The Essence Is State Synchronization, Not Appearance
A high-fidelity 3D model alone does not make a digital twin. This article explains why state synchronization matters, how digital models and digital shadows differ, why real-time updates are not always necessary, when 3D is useful, and five questions to answer before implementation.
AI DevelopmentIsaac Sim Is Not Just a Heavyweight Unity — 4 Decisive Reasons to Move Beyond ML-Agents
Isaac Sim and Unity ML-Agents both support reinforcement learning, but differ greatly in architecture and robotics focus. This article compares GPU parallelism, contact physics, domain randomization, sensor simulation, and ROS 2/URDF/USD integration, while showing where Unity still excels.
AI DevelopmentWhat Is Reinforcement Learning? What Was Happening Behind That “Extra-Dimensional Fight”?
Using our NVIDIA Isaac Sim robot sumo experiment, this article explains reinforcement learning through state, action, environment, reward, and trial and error. It also shows how RL differs from supervised learning and why the robots discovered lariats, folded arms, and aerial attacks.
