You think your peers not respecting your political stance is the same as the government putting you in prison for criticizing them?

Casper is basically a marketing company anyway, so they will probably deal with it using more marketing as well as continuing to slander other companies that they see as competitors.

Is it a crime to use VPN and encrypt internet traffic in the US? Is it a crime to criticize the political party in power?

There will always be something you disagree with in granular 'social credit' system like this. We already have the justice system to disincentive bad behavior. All of the things you agreed with already have some sort of punish

Seem bizarre to push being only four times faster than straight lua when it is compiled to native instructions. Lua is 50x-100x slower than a native binary.

I think you are misrepresenting what is being done in this project. People seem to like it. They say it has workflow refinements. That's great, but there isn't anything new being done in rendering here unless doing something tr

If I said I was an expert in 'big data visualization with billions of points' and had written my own 'out of core' rendering library that I dubbed 'data shader', complete with a paper where I coined the term &#

Once again, there is no need for very much to be in memory at one time. This is accumulation and buffers can be reused. I'm not sure how much more I can simplify this other than to say that addition doesn't care about ordering,

I didn't say that webgl would do everything this can do, I said it would do the things I copied from the post I replied to. Again, my issue is that they seem to put a lot of focus on this having some sort of sophisticated new rendering

Why wouldn't it? There isn't anything special that needs to be done, you can stream in whatever you want and render it to the existing buffer. You can even have it anti aliased practically for free.

> For points, it simply takes each point, calculates which pixel it would land in, and aggregates per pixel, without ever storing all the data points per pixel. That is literally what opengl does. If you mean a histogram per pixel in de

My problem isn't that isn't novel or new, it is that it is presented as novel. Visualization is great (and the visualization here looks good), but saying things like 'datashader: turn data into images' when that is lite

There are two huge factors, the first even more potent than the second. First, there is much more information per sample and per pixel. Normals, depth, separate diffuse color, separate diffuse texture, first bounce normal, first bounce posi
