The comments on that thread are Facebook level cringe. What a dump GitHub has become!

I agree, it's shockingly good these days; we can argue about morality etc, fine, but burying one's head in the sand and claiming it's bad puts you at odds with reality, which isn't a good place to be. It's pretty si

I interpreted the kernel K of this paper as the BRDF in Rendering Equation[0] and its familiar diffusion process (from light transport simulation, or really any integro-differential equation system); together with https://en.wiki

Almost your entire post history is angry and confrontational, just like here, and I was also talking about whether or not word counts are a good idea, obviously; right back at you about reading comprehension.

> Subject yourself to a classroom of kids that you must teach to write, and throw out minimums. Strawman argument; the correct thing to do is not to throw out minimum word count and leave it at that, rather to emphasize the role of brevi

I get it, but this one's a double-whammy with "it's not X, but Y". People call me a bot all the time just because I write in paragraphs without basic spelling or grammatical mistakes.

This looks great but wow, what a hilariously shameless knock-off! :D

No one's even clicking anymore, everything implores me to tap or swipe these days, and everything is optimised for humans with one eye above the other. Then I press the X to close the all-caps banner commanding me to install the ap

I was at Lionhead for a while and he was very highly regarded even among wizards like Alex Evans.

> While I certainly have my doubts, I think pointing to Microsoft's previous failures as an indication for what might become of GitHub is inaccurate. Time has not been kind to this comment (reply in the thread).

I wouldn't call my $2k Strix Halo computer "massively expensive", and it runs e.g. Qwen 3.6 27b brilliantly, with tons of memory to spare and is a full x86 powerhouse pulling 120w at absolute max. IMO the programming world is

The article seems to repeat its thesis almost verbatim three times.

I am deeply saddened that it was developed by the hero of modern rendering, Eric Veach.

In my opinion the people who are deliberately destroying science and education should be prosecuted for literal textbook treason, not merely mocked. These are the "fuck your feelings" people whose feelings you're worrying abo

It's a term much like freedumb, mocking their celebration of ignorance, not their accent.

I suppose that's a very effective way to stem the tide of pesky educated libruls. Not so smart now, are you? Just another day of America getting exactly what they twice voted for.

It's almost as if electing a notorious conman to the highest office, for a second emboldening time, isn't such a great idea. I'm sure America will learn from this and elect responsible leaders in future.

I was in the same boat until last few days, where just a handful queries were enough to saturate my 5h session in about 30 mins. Recently I've gotten Qwen 3.6 27b working locally and it's pretty great, but still doesn't match

It's no problem really, and thanks for the great article! I'm actually simulating lenses at work right now so this is topical and very interesting. Spellcheck wouldn't help here because definitively is also a word, just not t

They also keep saying definitively instead of definitely :)

(Replying to myself because the above was posted over 2 hours ago) I was thinking about how I'd go about it, and I think first I'd Hilbert sort the colours in something like OKLab space, then generate a PDF from this using Just No

Yes, the "Do not" imperative feels so bossy and unnecessary; the people who need to hear it don't care / won't heed it, and the rest of us were directly instructed not to do something (which we weren't even rem

This will doubtless be an unpopular comment, but the "Do not" imperative at the bottom of the page was super jarring to me. I really don't appreciate random websites trying to tell me what to do in such a direct imperative to
