One of those rare combat missions I get to enjoy guilt-free knowing there is most definitely a David and Goliath to this battle, there is one side fighting for their land and country, and there were no unnecessary casualties regardless

Literally every episode has or feels like one or a few continuous shots (with maybe a couple of clever tricks to hide cuts), and is shot on film. A perfect show about and for the love of filmmaking. Also one of the funniest

YouTube video by Unnatural Vegan B12 From Plants?! (Do Vegans Still Need to Supplement?)

Unnatural vegan published a video yesterday youtu.be/sVsZP7Vh8UU?...

tldr: unfortified foods just don't contain requisite b12s, inc. tempeh. Nori good (& consume daily requirement from reasonable amount); no human trials.

I still take daily tablets to ensure I meet my recommended amount.

WTF computer should be modern tech failure images. Windows bluescreen on your gym treadmill, failed LLM generated description for a movie on Amazon.

Hm, but you are also competing against public transport and second hand market. Like at some point the trade off on buying new has to not be worth it? But considering many Americans take out 80k loans to buy a car they never should have already I guess yeah, don't see car culture changing.

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference The confessions of a concerned bird.

These two presentations are packed with insight into how a GPU schedules and executes work and advice on how to improve perf which, although targeting GCN, is largely transferable to other architectures as well, recommended read: gpuopen.com/wp-content/u..., gpuopen.com/wp-content/u...

WebGPU Sponza Demo WebGPU Tech Demo Showcasing Various Rendering Techniques

Check out my latest WebGPU tech demo showcasing 400+ dynamic light sources, screen space reflections and more!

Wrote a frame render analysis article to go with it as well:

I was surprised to hear that many graphics people were surprised to learn that normals should be transformed with the adjugate transpose matrix. This is something I've written about extensively, so here's a new blog post that talks about what's going on.

It does feel a little bit more like Threads on here lately, which I guess is inevitable as some of those users move over here. But I also wonder if this the negative impact of me blindly following starter packs without really checking what kind of content people engage with

Siggraph 2014 : Moving Frostbite to Physically based rendering V3 Here is the slides, course notes and Mathematica files of me and my-coworker Charles de Rousiers “Moving Frostbite to Physically based rendering” (The course notes have been update to v…

"Moving Frostbite to PBR" is 10 years old already but still an amazing physically based rendering and lighting resource, so much knowledge packed in there. seblagarde.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/s...

In our next Tiny Glade update we'll bump the light limit from 32 to 32k while keeping the cost more or less the same.

The small limit has been a cop out, as we didn't quite know how to render huge numbers of (screen-space) shadow-casting lights without severe performance degradation.

Interval training apps! On android, I use Complete Ear Trainer. I would recommend also associating a song with each interval (for instance, Jurassic Park/Star Wars for 5ths) because I tried without doing this and it's way easier when you have a song associated. You can find lists online.

And also note that BandCamp Friday is THIS Friday

Growing means admitting failures and reflecting but I haven't seen much of that from trump. Would be interested to know what reflections Bezos has heard in private (giving the benefit of a doubt here). Only regret I've heard is cabinet members, and with selections this time, doesn't show much growth

Recordings for Graphics Programming Conference 2024 are now up. The lineup is packed with amazing talks ranging from rendering for games like Tiny Glade, Hades, and Baldur’s Gate 3, to even a talk on designing your own GPU!

Collection of cover images from the books included on the list

I often get asked about my book recommendations for graphics programming and game development. I updated my old list and made it easier to find on my website. With Black Friday/Cyber Monday, many are on sale right now (at least in Canada/US)

GPU crashes can be hard to track down and fix and easier to introduce now with the newer, low-level graphics APIs. This presentation discusses causes and a few options to detect them gpuopen.com/presentation.... Keeping the debug layer clean may not always be enough but it is a good first step.

We clapped through our own demise

I'll put an X on his back like I'm Ja-- err, Elon Musk

What book is this?

This was such a great book. One of those important pieces that made me really reconsider narratives about people. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around Luckey's support from Trump, but do know he is an extremely intelligent thinker and doing really important things at Andruil.

It actually needs a follow-up BOOK focusing on Musk's takeover of the election and the Trump presidency. But the events for that are still being written.

No Reel Big Fish / Beer ✅
No songs from THPS ✅
No No Doubt ✅
Mighty Mighty Bosstones that isn't from Let's Face It ✅

Ok this list checks out

This video, to me, is the perfect representation of both the beauty and the dark side of the promise of the internet. Excellent journalism on what is some scary shit.

Congrats! Well deserved. My favorite read this year
