Here's their release of how they made it as well. Super interesting read. It's shaders all the way down. http://www.iquilezles.org/www/material/function2009/fu

  Ha, that's my exact comment from the related reddit thread. Kinda cool, I wonder how often that happens? https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/4msf41/elevated_the_winning_4k_from_breakpoint_2009_is/d3y5g9x https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/4msf41/elevate...

    You do realize he copied your comment, don't you?

      That's been happening a bit recently. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11837687 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11837687 (I think there are others, but I can't find them now.)

        Both usernames end in 2
    • passthefist 10y ago
      Yeah, but I still wonder how often people copy comments around like that. It's not like that was some great writing or anything, but it was copied word for word. Maybe it was some bot, but that's an odd bot.

        I've seen it happen on YouTube (not to me); highly upvoted comments get copy/pasted a month or two later to "steal" upvotes for someone else. It could be a bot tactic to build accounts with karma that can later be used for astroturfing, using proven comments from elsewhere. Maybe governments and organized astroturfers have automated that sort of thing more than we think.

          Nail, meet hammer.
          • nitrogen 10y ago
            Hopefully in this case the nail is comment plagiarism and the hammer is more careful pattern matching in moderation systems.

    And that indeed is what we have to look forward to in online forums over the next 5+ years, as machine learning cuts its teeth on places like reddit, HN & disqus, and spammers try to find new irritating ways of getting eyeballs.

      I'm not a fan of quoting XKCD, but... https://xkcd.com/810/ https://xkcd.com/810/

        With how many XKCD responses their are, it seems a straight forward ML experiment to auto-relevant-xkcd

          Someone made something like that! https://www.reddit.com/user/relevantxkcd-bot https://www.reddit.com/user/relevantxkcd-bot

    Do you know if there is a video for these slides?
  • acemarke 10y ago
    Yep, happened to me in the Inferno thread yesterday.

    Spammers, presumably trying to build up karma on HN. Needless to say we've banned them and will continue to. Watchful users can help out with this a lot. If you or anyone notice comments being cross-posted in the future, please alert us at hn@ycombinator.com.

  Complete with creative tensions: > With cinematic look, like taken with a real camera. We had some dissagreements here > • I absolutelly wanted to avoid the CG look - the danish part of the team wanted something sharp and shinny > • I wanted a hand-held TV camera - they wanted a sts04 like smooth lovely cameras > • I wanted a realistic scenery - they wanted more action in the scene.. And exploiting impressionism as a compression technique: > The idea is NOT to render perfect snow, but to draw something that evoques snow, and let the viewer’s brain to trick the viewer.
