Show HN: A Marble Madness-inspired WebGL game we built for Netlify

Hello HN! We’re a small creative studio specializing in real-time 3D experiences. Netlify approached us to design and build an interactive experience to celebrate reaching 5 million developers.<p>Inspired by the classic game Marble Madness, we created a gamified experience where users control a ball through playful, interactive levels. The goal was to blend marketing content with the look and feel of a game to engage users.<p>The app is built with Three.js [1], using our custom render pipeline and shaders, and uses Rapier for physics simulation [2]. The 2D content is overlaid on the WebGL view using CSS 3D transforms for a seamless integration with the 3D view.<p>We’d love for you to try it out and share your thoughts!<p>[1] <a href="https://threejs.org" rel="nofollow">https://threejs.org</a><p>[2] <a href="https://rapier.rs" rel="nofollow">https://rapier.rs</a><p>EDIT: More info on this project here: <a href="https://www.littleworkshop.fr/projects/5milliondevs/" rel="nofollow">https://www.littleworkshop.fr/projects/5milliondevs/</a>

Show HN: Llama 3.2 Interpretability with Sparse Autoencoders

I spent a lot of time and money on this rather big side project of mine that attempts to replicate the mechanistic interpretability research on proprietary LLMs that was quite popular this year and produced great research papers by Anthropic [1], OpenAI [2] and Deepmind [3].<p>I am quite proud of this project and since I consider myself the target audience for HackerNews did I think that maybe some of you would appreciate this open research replication as well. Happy to answer any questions or face any feedback.<p>Cheers<p>[1] <a href="https://transformer-circuits.pub/2024/scaling-monosemanticity/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://transformer-circuits.pub/2024/scaling-monosemanticit...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.04093" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.04093</a><p>[3] <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.05147" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.05147</a>
