O(m log^2/3 n) !!! What a triumph.

One of my favorite ever papers and very ahead of its time. Thanks for the share :)

This is so awesome. There’s a lot to geek out about here, but I was personally enamored with the extra effort to make good renders/visualizations in software. Thanks for the read!

Agreed. Bugs happen, bug fixes don’t always happen (especially quickly) That being said, we could all do with a bit more input sanitization, and I hope Cox learned their lesson her…

Cloudflare does a pretty good job of managing it, at the cost of some centralization. It would be pretty cool if there was a way to DDOS-harden at the protocol layer. Not sure if t…

Oh neat I’ve never heard of NativeAOT. I’ve only used Unity’s AOT compiler “Burst” for C# (I assume that is something different?). Cool stuff. edit: Actually I meant to say Unity’s…

Oh got it. So like c# but compiles to native a la Swift?

Superficially this language appears to be very similar to Swift. Beyond the syntax, it also has first class refcounting, C language binding, and no external runtime (compiles strai…

I agree with the sentiment but in practice I’ve found that most C++ STL exceptions throw in a “fatal error” type of scenario like a bad allocation and generally not an “expected er…

Indeed, it’s more accurate to say that C was designed around common asm calling conventions of its day, than the other way around.

Matlab is awesome. I had to learn it for a class in Computational Photography back in school. The matrix-centric language design is an interesting change from traditional languages…

Same. I’m honestly kind of stunned

Very happy that Aras is fighting the good fight, doing some great OSS work after his departure from Unity. The speed up numbers are quite impressive! I remember when I was first ge…

Complete yet succinct explanation — bravo and i might steal this way of explaining it!

> this type of AI is not getting us any closer to that. That is not obvious at all.

That last example is such a mic drop. I can’t tell if I’m impressed beyond belief or appalled.

Wow, great work!

Well, technically you could have realized the ambiguity in this case, and guessed a word like RAZED to clear it up.

This is going to sound a bit hyperbolic but I haven’t been truly impressed with any new features in Unity since the introduction of PBR and dynamic indirect lighting in Unity 5.0. …

I’m so excited! What a treat to have this kind of event on Christmas. Though, my heart goes out to the hard working engineers/technicians/astronauts at NASA who are slaving over th…

Agreed with all of this, well put. I’d like to add though that we don’t do math just because we anticipate there will be some practical utility in a different field down the line. …

Down for me too.

I’m a bit concerned that they have to compete against Microsoft/Github and their engineering/marketing/sales might. In your view why do you think they will be able to coexist long …

I’m glad you brought this up and I totally agree. Indeed, in a “learning language,” the basic things should be easy and approachable for beginners, but the hard things should be as…
