I'm guessing the comment was downvoted because the suggestions are mentioned in the first paragraph of the article... > After trying a few stopgap solutions—like purchasing M1 Maxs…

Figma supported vector networks a few years before that thesis was written (I worked there at the time).

Hmm, why does this page say that iOS has 1.26% support? Safari developer preview isn't supported on iOS, and neither are non-Apple browser engines.

Strongly recommend either The Way of Kings or Mistborn. They're the first books in two separate series of his. The Way of Kings is epic fantasy. Mistborn is somewhere between fanta…

Neat! In my experience jump flooding on the GPU is faster than any CPU side approach for images bigger than a few hundred pixels. It's O(n ^ 2 log n) which sounds really expensive,…

Ah, thanks for clarifying! I think someone already called this out above, but the benefit of the approach I describe is that you only need one sample per pixel. Four samples per pi…

There are definitely more physically accurate ways to render soft shadows, but AFAIK they all involve some kind of bounce lighting where light bounces off of objects in the scene a…

Thanks! I've learned a ton from iq's writing. He's such an inspiration! I find that his articles are best for folks who already know a thing or two about computer graphics. Here's …

I just pushed something that will print more info when that error happens. If you or anyone else runs into it again, please post the error here so I can fix it :)

Whoops, just pushed a fix! Does it work now?

Author here. That's a neat trick! > I mention this because the mystery of the getDistance() function is often one of the tricky parts of demos like these. I agree! In the demos I u…

The page's domain and title are disappointing to me. Using sexualized language can create an environment that is unduly hostile to women, even if this is not intended. Many of the …

Thanks! (I wrote the article and just found it here)

That depends on how you define progress. Just to play devil's advocate: what if you define progress as "that stuff" that will increase the general well-being of the greatest number…
