geometric algebra is replacing quaternions because GA handles tons of edge cases that quaternions don't?

It's also arguably not a good set of tutorial unless you want to know how to solve puzzles. Shader programming for games or most purposes do not use the techniques taught in those articles. Those articles are all about what happens on

neither did I. Only passing on how amazing it is that so much was hand made. Example, in the clip above: 2:15 to 3:10 and 4:35 to the end there's no CGI but it looks like CGI

Being a huge fan of the origianl I hated the sequel. Everything that made the original unique is tossed asside for bland and boring in the sequel. As a simple example, light cycles that turn 90 degrees are interesting because they don&#x27

I love the movie, but just FYI, pretty much every scene with people in it is not CGI. It's hand draw backgrounds and tripled exposed live actors who were then physically hand compositied together Watch a makng of movie to see There&#x2

First off, Google already tries to do show quality and the clearly mark the ads so you can skip them and go to non-ads Second, even a search engine that doesn't take ads does not know that the content it's scanning aren't ads

there are at least two if not 3 or more ad divisions at google 1) ads on search results 2) visual ads (banner ads), used to be double-click 3) ads on Android apps personally I want the search ads. If I search for plummer or doctor or even d

3d renders might win in the cloud because the default could be a render farm. they could also be running on the top GPUs where you might locally have some low-end notebook. I haven't used it but as one example there is Clara.io and eve

I can't imagine using a destkop app for this. Google docs is great! I can open the same doc on my desktop, my two laptops, my tablet, and my phone, and if I need to share it it's just a couple of clicks to share a live version. I

agreed and honestly really annoying when the wrong terms are used and then you need to invent new words to distinguish the actual thing "shaders" from layering effects.

for general GA yes but for the GA needed to replace quaternions in 3D? I'm far from good at math but the GA article linked above has this comparision of quaternion code vs rotor (GA) code https://marctenbosch.com/quater

My guess is the community college can't attract a teacher who knows the topics well and a bootcamp can. Note: I'm not saying all bootcamp teachers are good, nor am I saying community college teachers are bad. Rather I'm compl

well, not really. you load the data and pass it to the GPU. There's no real work to do on the CPU. I'm not saying it's trivial to write a viewer but to doesn't require performant code. I've written a GLTF viewer in

you might be right. But AFAIK, Therapy is a mostly USA thing. Most cultures don't do it. You'd probably say they don't because they are not yet enlightened. I think they'd probably have a different pov

I definitely have at least 3 friends with kids that manage to keep up with their hobbies. 5, 3, and 2 kids respectively. No idea how they do it but they certainly demonstrate it can be done.

It can help to have family close. Growing up my parents often gave us to our grandparents for the weekend (one a month?). Both grandparents lived within 1hr. So, my parent were able to take some weekends for themselves. Also babysitters for

Sounds like you have good kids. Congratulations. I know parents with good kids and I know way more parents with bad kids. The parents with good kids will generally claim they did a better job raising their kids. The parents with bad kids wi
