I agree - that's why it's great to have a lot of experience so that you can choose the correct way. I run into way more issues and fatigue when I'm venturing into areas I'm not familiar with.

I disagree that ray tracing and mesh shaders are largely ignored - at least within AAA game engines they are leaned on quite a lot. Particularly ray tracing.

You know what else is good like that? The Switch graphics API - designed by Nvidia and Nintendo. Easily the most straightforward of the console graphics APIs

Why do you say 'albeit'? I think it's established that 'software rendering' can mean running on the GPU. That's what Octane is doing with CUDA in the comment you are replying to. But good callout on Nanite.

I feel like there is a hypothesis that open source and open science has helped the West but the IP laws have slowed innovation whereas China is kind of an open source culture internally which confera an advantage.

Just recently I was going through my wallet downtown and I inadvertently dropped a $20 bill. A street denizen in a wheelchair picked it up and scurried to catch up with me and handed it to me. He would not take anything more than a thank-yo

There was a funny story about how sun shining on a UV sensitive electronic component was the root cause of a mysterious failure that was time and day dependent.

It could be like ECC RAM but you'd have to make new hardware.

This essay is not consistent. They ramble between company names Google ( which is a great name ) and tools like AWK which is not descriptive at all but a good name. But I do share his pain with onboarding when I joined Humungous Entertainme

It is pretty hard work huh! I was surprised. In my case, I was doing a personal project but in the end I felt a little crispy although the result was succesful.
