No, that is exactly the reason I am bringing up physics. There used to be a time when a singular person could make an outsized impact. In the recent past though, this has not been …

now, if you said "don't get into it because your primary employment prospects would be games or film industry, which are known to be less than stellar towards their workers" - that…

My only additions to the article would be to study your probability/statistics (can't do efficient path tracing without it) and get comfortable with integrals, especially integrals…

Ridiculous justification. "Where is todays Jon Carmack?" Where is the "John Carmack" of ML? Where is the John Carmack of physics? This hero worship crap needs to be left in the pas…

"Github Repo" "Find Us on GitHub" ????

general rule of thumb is that you never want gamma-corrected values if you intend to be doing any sort of math with them. the only exception is when you want to match the behavior …

there isn't much that is "arcane" about gamma correction itself (as in, the math itself is really simple). at the fundamental level, if a surface is illuminated with one lightbulb …

that just sounds like DNS but more centralized and not super human-friendly...

but dynamic DNS is a thing. I've had setups for it since god knows how long, though admittedly not on my phone.

I am confused why this is needed. > IP addresses can break, without warning, and it's outside of your device's control. We have DNS? > Keys, however, are created & controlled by yo…

If done right, this is more like a monthly bus pass

when you re-crop a photo or use the perspective tool, you are literally distorting the image. not to mention, all of the processing that happens in modern cameras before you even s…

they're technically not wrong. C is literally an "abstraction" of the machine. As we know, the whole point of an abstraction is to ignore the multitude of details :-)

250k for base pay is about in line with median I'd say. If 250k was the total comp (taking into account bonus/stocks/what have you) then yeah, you definitely should have negotiated…

"outgroup"? what outgroup? we're talking about inanimate objects here. by your own logic, you treat your home appliances as an outgroup so you must be secretly a dangerous psychopa…

it's a neat experiment but I think it's ultimately flawed because color is usually perceived in context, and depending on context I could easily see anyone reinterpreting the hues …

> There is no consequence for choosing blue there are consequences in both cases.

I've found Trellis specifically to be very "over-promise and under-deliver". Nothing i tried with it got even close to th level of quality that they were advertising - felt like a …

jumps is another one. jmp can have many encodings depending on where the target offset you're jumping to is. but often times, the offset is not yet known when you first encounter t…

> I want a single-line malloc with zero care about usage flags and which only produces one single pointer value That's not realistic on non-UMA systems. I doubt you want to go over…

> Not sure if this is an "oh, no" event. it's not. descriptor sets are realistically never getting deprecated. old code doesn't have to be rewritten if it works. there's no point. …

just use the vma library. the low level memory allocation interface is for those who care to have precise control over allocations. vma has shipped in production software and is a …
