Pretty much all of them work in 2x2 quads. DyDx is calculated within a quad. But, not across them. This is an imperfect approximation to the derivative that needs to be accounted for. But, it’s useful and very cheap and trivially easy.

The book https://www.realtimerendering.com/ is a great introduction. And, that site links several other great books that are available as free and legal downloads.

The problem with tipping online is not that people are unreasonably stingy. It's that people are reasonably lazy. A lot of people are happy to toss a few coins to their Witcher. But, it has to be trivially easy to do so or they won&

Similar story. I had a year where I was so productive that I typed my way into cubital tunnel syndrome. Felt like getting stabbed by needles at random points in the day. Doc said I needed surgery. Instead I changed my routine dramatical

1mg in a pill that dissolves under the tongue works great for me. Very fast. Doesn’t knock me out. But, if I’m already on the way to sleep, it gets me there faster. And, the sleep is a lot deeper. Wackier dreams right into the morning. Mor

I think that the tool will get higher quality results with easier to control inputs. Some of that is already happening rapidly. In theory, given enough machine power, I could see a branching, interactive interface. Like if there are multi

I have been experimenting with this system for months and have concluded that it is a very powerful paint brush. Powerful like steering an elephant. Not like being Superman. The system is garbage in garbage out. So, feeding it random noise

Because he is famous on the Internet, CLIP “knows” what John Malkovich looks like. Or, more accurately: what an image people would label “John Malkovich” feels like.

I’m reminded of a programmer who would add click on the PC speaker inside function calls so he could listen to the timing of them being called.

Can someone explain to me how saying “we utilize CLIP” and “we are zero-shot” aren’t contradictory? You’d be hard pressed to come up with a class of things from reality or popular fiction that CLIP did not see a few shot of.

In my experience, people who champion printf debugging usually don’t have the option to use an effective debugger. Low-tooling embedded or distributed systems for example. Many others champion “you should understand your own code well enoug

A fun exercise is to see how bad you can get effective bandwidth to be in the minimal amount of code. Read a byte, use it to feed FNV-1a, use that to look up another byte in a fixed-size array. The number of bytes per second you end up rea

Not shared. But, you want to run lots of times. So, 8 cheap GPUs can run 8 separate experiments in parallel.

What are paintings if they are not trippy distortions of existing things? ;) I've been having a lot of fun using GANs as what I think is a better form of style transfer. The default approach uses noise as the initializer. But, by spe

Well, that's the sign of good art :) It takes 2-3 minutes for an experiment to warm up. If you are paying attention, you usually can tell it's not going well at that point and cancel it. If it looks like it might go well, it can

Are you asking for stuff that's not complete garbage? Status quo? Or, advanced enough that we need college degrees to begin to intellectualize their effectiveness? Within the tiny community I've been hanging out with, I like to
