I've played with tech like this for over a year now. You won't find the bowl in the source images. It doesn't evolve the noise into a source image. It slowly nudges the noise into feeling more and more bowl-like. Do that

Garret’s buddies at HandmadeCon gathered a group of devs from different games who all wrote some of the first software rasterization 3D games. The general theme was “We had no idea what we were doing. There were no references!” https:&#x2

They are being rightly cautious. It’s going to take time to figure out good practice with these tools. Everyone calling out basic caution as “dystopian” is really over the top. I’ve been using tools like this for over a year now. Even with

Alan Kay attributes a big part of the advances of PARC to the custom workstations they built for themselves. They cost $20k(?) but ran much faster than off the shelf high-end machines at a time when Moore’s Law was accelerating CPU speed dr

Pretty much. That and how much your view changes when you move your head. I’ve played with virtual monitors in VR. Everyone loves the idea of having 80 foot virtual monitors. But, all that really does is make it so you can’t move your head

If you tried to repro these results (including time & space constraints) using traditional photogrammetry, you would be sorely disappointed. Photogrammetry is great if you have a very solid object that is not shiny or translucent at all

Towers are expensive and difficult to construct. A lone tower is highly unusual and suspect. Towers are looming and ominous. All of these together help the writer convey that the character within the tower is powerful, odd and scary. They a

This is a huge PITA for mobile 3D game developers. Google would announce a shiny new Vulkan feature and I'd set a calendar event for 4 years in the future to remind me to check if 75% of the user base had it available yet.

Exactly. We are currently debating $10 vs. $6 to store 1000 hours of music. The only answer to my actual question so far indicates that when it gets down to $1 vs 60c, they’ll just say “Whatever. Leave it uncompressed.” Thus 90% of the disc

As someone pointed out above, WAV bitrots results in unreported micro-blips. FLAC bitrot results in reported large-scale failure.

…which is more expensive than $65 for 4TB. Thus, the question is framed around price.

I’m not clear how you are jumping from “30% of a few hundred gigs is a bad complexity trade off” to “100000% of terabytes is worthless” :p Thanks for at least arguing against the use case I argued for. Even if you were a bit hyperbolic. I g

Optimization is about trade offs. My career has been data processing pipelines for commercial game engines. I’m quite familiar with the trade offs of compressing all kinds of formats, including audio. FLAC is at least as complex as OGG+gzip
