Indy Ray

I made an anti-AI post on LinkedIn and the people angry or defensive all have Visionary or Founder as their listed role, and everyone agreeing with me has a real job. Amazing how that is.

The scam is to conflate everything that computers do (or ever have done) with the current "AI" craze, so that the AI scam tech that nobody wants feels inevitable, rather than a tech bubble run by villains, that needs to crash immediately.

Uhh...

I'm in San Francisco, and while Waymo is a real thing, tons of Uber and Lyft, and I've not once seen robot food delivery in this city.

I'm so sorry. Godspeed.

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Peaceful protest is protected — but only if you know how to protect yourself legally. Read, share, and stay safe.

Yeah, I mean it makes good no thrills drip coffee. But it's not going to like change your life if you don't prefer drip.

Do you have a link? I'd love to read more specifics

What? This seems made up?

ICE opened their detention center in Newark WITHOUT permission from the city, and in violation of state law.

Mayor Ras Baraka has been fighting to close it down.

RT this to THANK Mayor Baraka!

Measuring acceleration structures Hardware accelerated raytracing, as supported by DirectX 12 and Vulkan, relies on an abstract data structure that stores scene geometry, known as “acceleration structure” and often referred to as “BVH...

New blog post! "Measuring acceleration structures", in which we will compare BVH costs on various GPU architectures and drivers and attempt to understand the details enough on AMD hardware to make sense of the numbers!

Reposts appreciated :)

Ya'll, don't use PlasticSCM / Unity VCS, They really are trying to take a bad VCS, and make it even less useful. Their forum links aren't even working anymore: forum.plasticscm.com/topic/3387-m...

GitHub - westquote/SquidTasks: C++14 coroutine-based task library for games C++14 coroutine-based task library for games. Contribute to westquote/SquidTasks development by creating an account on GitHub.

That makes sense to me. Coroutines are a special beast.

If anyone else is checking out UE5 coro libs, I also want to throw SquidTasks out there as a great coroutine library with UE5 integration: github.com/westquote/Sq...

But not for console SDKs, console ports are something you can always solve with enough will. I think I've seen a UE3 release on a new console recently. Ports are a fixed product and a fixed target. That's manageable IMO

As a counter-point. Everytime I've been on a game that decided to freeze our version too early, I've always regretted it. We've been convinced one way or another that we **need** the new version, and regret the decisions we made because we thought we were done merging. It's changed how I treat UE

75 degrees!?

I actually find it to be better then live++ since, when you setup the systems correctly, it's easy to understand and *predictable* which means it can be robust to some pretty dramatic changes with a little thought.

I'm my experience, if you set it up early enough, with some basic rules/structure, and it's fast/useful. It's really not hard to get this sort of system to be super robust.

I had great exp doing this. Two tips that I found help..

1. Map shared memory to de/serialize to so you don't have to hit disk.

2. Move you're stable bulk resources loading (meshes/textures/etc) to another process, so they stay resident between reloads.

You can get super fast reloads this way.

I finally discovered the exact voice of my inner thoughts about tech: you can listen to @edzitron.com's 'Better Offline' linktr.ee/betteroffline

A view of the sky above San Francisco out my window. A break of blue is between dense thick clouds of starkly varying color.

After the Tornado warning this morning, the clouds just have a bit of a 'look' to them this morning.

NWSBayArea Tornado threat for the city of San Francisco has ENDED, the storm has moved northeast of downtown. #CAwx

Well that's good news... Wasn't expecting to have to worry about a tornado when the phones started blaring at 6 am this morning.

It sounds like the warning was generated from rotation off-shore?

I think I recall two Tsunami warnings. But a Tornado?!

Tornado warning issued for the entire city of San Francisco Tornado warning issued for the entire city of San Francisco. It is what is called a radar-based warning.

Yeah... I dunno.. but same here

Graphics Programming Conference Graphics Programming Conference (GPC) is a new, international conference for real-time and interactive graphics programming.

If you're at GPC, I'm giving a talk about NPR Light rendering at Telltale Games in @unrealengine.bsky.social. Come check it out: www.graphicsprogrammingconference.nl#npr-light-re...

Btw buying it the moment i can decide on a platform. This looks incredible.

Looks great! Maybe pin a post with the store links? I had to resort to... *gasp* search engines.
