Steal $3 billion from your customers, you are a GOP star.
Via Robert Reich:
Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
See how this works?

KTOO: Alaska could lose a beloved climate communicator if NOAA cuts happen
"One of Alaska’s most prolific climate communicators could lose his job if the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration go through.
The Trump administration laid out a plan to slash NOAA’s budget in a memo leaked this month. The draft cuts would eliminate several research institutes the agency funds in Alaska, including the Fairbanks-based Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, or ACCAP.
That’s where Rick Thoman works. He’s a climate specialist who is known as the state’s go-to source for weather information. He hosts weekly radio spots for communities across the state and writes a blog covering timely topics like extreme weather, seasonal outlooks and ice conditions...."

Hey all,
This is another goal that shouldn't be hard to reach. @narnnoor.bsky.social and her family need to raise $15,000 to get out of Gaza, and they are stuck at $10,340.00. With all of the people who have been vocal about supporting Palestenians, it shouldn't be hard to get them to 15k. Here is a link to her fundraiser:

Yup. RTiOW starts with spheres, but I want to use AABBs so I adapted an intersection test from @iquilezles here:

...seconds later...
Solved it, and also solved the mystery of why the box intersection code labelled the near box plane tF and the far one tN (it didn't, I had them backwards).

in reply to Farbs • • •Got home, slept, fiddling with this a bit more. An hour later I have perfectly reflective AABBs.
Of course, the problem with perfectly reflective AABBs is they create perfect geometrical artefacts, which.... look like bugs. But I'm pretty sure these are right.

Now you may be wondering... what's up with the repeating pattern? Well, believe it or not that's intentional, and hopefully in a couple of steps you'll see why.
