I deployed http://www.fboutagecost.com at exactly the same time as Facebook came back up – you're all welcome, I guess? (It was previously counting up at $3855/second, but is now stopped)

As a matter of fact, I also wrote a SIGGRAPH paper on GPU-based f-rep rendering that was discussed on HN two days ago! https://www.mattkeeter.com/research/mpr/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=

Guile supports custom readers through read-hash-extend [1]: this lets you associate specific syntax with a custom reader, triggered by a '#' character. For example, this is how comments are implemented with #! ...multiline commen

I appreciate you downloading it and testing it out! This sounds like a bug, please open a Github issue and I'll investigate.

Check out Q8/9/10 in the MPL FAQ: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/FAQ/ I don't believe the MPL requires the ability to re-link; this is one of the reasons I chose it over the LGPL. (

Surprise! :D Yes, these are now part of libfive's core – Python is an important-enough language that having canonical, first-party bindings seems important. There was a bunch of infrastructure work to get to this point: the standard li

libfive is unusual in the SDF space in that it doesn't assume Euclidean space, or even Lipshitz continuity! It uses interval arithmetic, so its evaluation is conservative by construction; shapes with weird SDFs may evaluate more slowl

I'm the main author of libfive, happy to answer any questions. The site isn't totally up to date – the Python bindings + API are brand new, and need some examples, but they work great if you know how to use them!

I'm not familiar with cone tracing, but [1] indicates that it's a variation of sphere tracing. The downside to sphere tracing and similar is that it limits the input model: you have to guarantee that evaluating the model at [x, y,

Being able to do very basic JITting on the GPU would be a great first step – load/store operations when evaluating the tapes are terrible for memory access, since they use global memory rather than registers. In another project [1], I

Author here, I'm glad to have finally figured out why a bunch of people followed me on Twitter this morning! If you enjoyed this paper, there's a companion blog post about the actual process of writing it: https://www.m

Check out section 4.2 of the paper: 3D is very similar to 2D, using the same strategy of big regions -> small regions -> voxels. (There's also a bit of extra logic to skip regions which are occluded in Z, plus a final pass to r

It's self-reported by the logging system after glfwShowWindow() returns for the first time, so probably not 100% accurate, but reasonably close. A truly fancy system would be something like Tristan Hume's keyboard-to-photon latenc
