Stop trying to make Eurovision watch parties a thing in the US and we'll call it quits.

"Animated Bokeh" has been on my whiteboard for a long time, and this is the result.

I thought it would just be for cheesy novelty effects, but it also does lightfield manipulation that was cooler than I expected.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Beyond Smoothed Analysis: Analyzing the Simplex Method by the Book Narrowing the gap between theory and practice is a longstanding goal of the algorithm analysis community. To further progress our understanding of how algorithms work in practice, we propose a new alg...

The simplex algorithm is super efficient. 80 years of experience says it runs in linear time. Nobody can explain _why_ it is so fast.

We invented a new algorithm analysis framework to find out.

I enjoyed the super secret Xbox 360 developer only NDA event where every attendee was sworn not to talk about the "Durango project", not even it's name. And then given merch with the word "Durango" printed on it.

This post shows how to get different constants for the R2 low discrepancy sampling sequence which have the same properties, but are smaller valued, so behave better in floating point at high sample counts.

Probably racist "I'm just asking" slop about "how do you get to 4B people in 50 years?" I'm betting it's someone applying ratios to exponential growth and coming up with impossible birth rates per lady.
