Biggest thing for me here is a real, honest-to-god language spec is in dev for hlsl. I've spent so much time frustrated with poorly defined features, I'm excited to eventually have a true reference!

Dungeon Crawler Carl book 1 finished! It was a fun read, and it feels like there's a bit more to the heart of this story than I would've guessed from the synopsis. Certainly some eye rolls, but there's a real core to it.

CBP thought they shot down an alien saucer, calling it now.

My evening was devoured by this super connections game (45 categories of size 45) thomaswc.com/2025.html

Just saw the One Piece s2 live action trailer, and I'm so excited. It looks so gooooood! They're still nailing the heart of it!

There comes a point in every graphics programmers life where they must say, "Welp, time to read Veach's thesis"

I'm digging into various options for a low discrepancy sequence for path directions, and boy is this a rabbit hole. R2 seemed pretty good, but in high dimensions maybe one of these scrambled sobol sequences? Anyone have opinions on this?

Really unfair that water doesn't moisturize skin.

It's interesting how the NFL is so Right-aligned at all times, except for who they choose for the Halftime show performer. A cynical take would be that it just pulls in the more left-leaning audience.

Transitioning from an antisemitism ad that doesn't talk about ice to an ad featuring toilets is an interesting choice.

I've been getting back into Rock Band with my wife, and boy I don't remember this plastic guitar being so rough on my hands.

Wanted to watch the Olympic opening ceremony in YouTube. Got got by an AI slop video for like maybe 10 seconds, toxic af.

A half-gallon of dill pickle flavored milk, labeled PILK!. The branding appears to be some sort of legged cauldron with a green splash of liquid coming out of it.

PILK was taken:

As an avid one piece reader, I can think of what arc I would choose to change the genre. But that's an incorrect number of episodes, so I'm not sure if I'm thinking of when you're thinking of. Strongly agree everyone should consume all of One Piece.

98 out of 435 House districts have a Partisan Voting Index between R+5 and D+5. Another 90 are +6 to +10. My math says you'd have to roughly double ICE and CBP's current combined headcount to send *one* goon to each polling place in each of those 188 districts.

They. Do. Not. Have. Enough. Goons.

I was wondering why I wasn't seeing any JP posts on my For You timeline and turns out bsky re-set my language preferences to English only (why? I'm not even from an English speaking country) even though I changed them to all languages a long time ago.

They REALLY need to get better with this, man.

Marcin Zalewski informed me that his blog post on real-time hair rendering using ray tracing is now available:

This is nice work, in which he compares NVidia's hardware accelerated hair to several alternatives, including Reshetov's Phantom Ray Hair Intersector.

posting a lot about how the giant ice army is going to to be intimidating people at polling places is 1000% more effective than anything ice will ever do

I'm 5 episodes into Pluribus, and I'm getting concerned that the writers are the same kind of people as Carol.

I have felt increasingly out of step with mainstream Judaism over the past several years, but I cannot imagine how you could work at a Holocaust Museum and envision your role in this way. I just cannot imagine.
