Here's the mini write up about how they achieved real time raytracing on the CPU 25 years ago: https://web.archive.org/web/20060213141031/http://www.demosc...

Yeah, I'm very familiar with the tech, I've been interested in games dev and web dev for a few decades now. So you could be right, that the models aren't ready to "play on their ow…

I will. I'm just trying to evaluate the tools on a medium size task. I'm trying copilot's agent mode with the goal of creating a warcraft 1 clone. Or something resembling it.

I'm on the side of AI is a huge productivity booster (by my guess... 10x) But I don't want to make the claim lightly, so I did an experiment. I signed up for copilot pro, and have …

Given my interest in games and demos, I feel the opposite. I'm always in search of the real-time method that looks plausible and can cover huge areas in 3d space. Computational acc…

Yeah the demoscene jumps out as a good candidate to represent "creative 'useless' programs". :) I make a few demos, but my personal favourite was this 4k (windows executable less t…

Thanks for the tip. I thought I recognized your handle! You wrote the "A Primer on Bézier Curves" article. Thanks for providing that amazing resource, it's been invaluable during m…

Great article! I didn't know about Rotation Minimizing Frames or the double reflection method. I've run up against the issue of unexpected twisting of splines at work more than onc…

As an Australian, is the best approach to encrypt all my storage and communications? Is that even possible when the potential threat is the government?

I wholeheartedly disagree with this assessment of Apple. As a long time business owner and developer, I've had nothing but pain as a developer working with Apple technologies. We'v…

Counter point: Often I am faced with doing it right or doing it within budget for an activation that is designed to live for a few weeks only. I aim for 100% compatibility with dif…

"Satan should chair your meetings" ... She already does.

Congrats on your PPL! I did 10 hours 15 years ago, but stopped when my first baby came along.

I won't pretend to understand the intricacies in your article here, but have you seen this paper / video by Cem Yuksel (University of Utah).... By my layman understanding the curve…

In Example 3, there is a 'pushq %rax' but no subsequent pop command. Error or is the stack being manipulated in another way elsewhere?

Very cool indeed. Seems like a good platform to apply the demoscene trick of "adaptive subsampling" to greatly improve performance at the cost of a little image quality. It takes a…

As a long time self learner (35 years), I really enjoyed the learning format (and learning focus!). I was surprised how much I enjoyed clicking I learned something, even though I g…

I use Unreal Engine Blueprint visual scripting a lot, and I like it too. Regarding your point about complex logic and number crunching can be alleviated by using a 'Math Expression…
