Viewing profile — pixel_fcker

The new block cluster shared memory and synchronisation stuff looks really really nice.

Ambient occlusion is a horrible hack from twenty years ago. You don’t need to measure pixel values from photographs to know that it bears no relation to how light works in the real…

That’s because nvidia hired like every graphics researcher.

Men are more likely to die of COVID and more likely to be intubated. Should we start preferentially treating men over women? Why did they not include this advice as well?

I assume typo for “None”

And there are hundreds of thousands of children under 12 who aren’t vaccinated.

Lol “draconian measures”. Yep we’re all under house arrest down here it’s awful. Basically the same as Stalin’s Russia.

You said: > Do you support denying re-entry to people who are already citizens as a means of doing that? Which implies the people entering on these visas are taking places away fro…

A few weeks ago everyone was expecting them to replace MIQ with home self-isolation in Feb-April thanks to the vaccine uptake. Now Omicron has thrown that all up in the air.

What about people who can’t take the vaccine for medical reasons, or are too young? Fuck ‘em right?

This isn’t what’s happening. Everyone trying to enter the country has to go through the MIQ system, regardless of whether they’re a citizen, have one of these visas, or any other t…

Yes it is a good deal. This is manufactured outrage.

On a similar note - if a huge gravity wave passed through the earth, say one that stretched the space I’m in by a factor of 10, would I feel anything?

See comment elsewhere in this thread for how smoking is a massive net gain for the UK government thanks to high taxes and early mortality.

It sort of goes against Rust’s philosophy to bake anything like that into the language. Where they screwed up was not providing the machinery to make libraries agnostic of the runt…

It will if the output is expecting RGB in Rec.2020 or P3 and you give it sRGB data…

AP1 is essentially Rec.2020, yes. By working space I mean a space in which a user manipulates the data in some way, e.g. image editing, grading, compositing or rendering.

ACES (AP0) is an archive format for when you want to be absolutely sure you’re not clipping any colours. As a working space it’s terrible and AP1 should be preferred, either as ACE…

There are several companies offering this out there. ILM definitely doesn’t have it “locked up”.

VFX companies don’t own any of the assets that they create for films, the studio does. I don’t know what Unity think they’ve bought there.

I just finished this recently after dropping it halfway through because my eyes were in danger of rolling out of the back of my head due to the Capone stuff.

I’ve been programming for over 20 years, but never studied computer science. I know C, C++, Python, Rust and a little bit of a few other languages. If I’m approaching a problem, I …

Heh that’s exactly the game I was planning on making. I don’t know whether to feel happy or sad!

Does anyone know any of the Teams dev team? I’d love to see an AMA with them to understand just how something so terrible came to be.

Teams is a strong contender for most aggravating software ever written.
