Generally I agree, but the bindless approach can give you both ergonomics and performance in some cases (not all). Certainly it can reduce CPU overhead - passing a single pointer t…

Author here, happy to answer any questions about this blog, library or bindless GPU programming more generally.

Yes, you can get very close to that API with this extension + existing Vulkan extensions. The main difference is that you still kind of need opaque buffer and texture objects inste…

From a cursory look at the code, I don't see any use of fused-multiply-add (FMA) which would likely help with precision issues in a number of places with the float version. The "pr…

Not sure how you arrived at 60% - aren't federal capital gains topped off at 20%, and this bill only 7% for gains over $250,000? Even if it is 60%, I think that's reasonable. In yo…

Yup, that's a mistake. Shouldn't have the +h term at the end.

I'm a little late to this thread, but wanted to thank you for the paper! I found it interesting enough to blog about it ( https://rkevingibson.github.io/blog/neural-networks-as-ord…

Only if the current party has a majority government, which isn't always the case.

Surprised I haven't seen anyone post Markdeep here yet: https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ Seems to cover a lot of the same ground, though it's not restricted to visual studio co…

I'm curious what you think the problems are that unbounded indices causes? Unsigned overflow is well defined in C++, so I don't see the problem here. AFAIK, the only issue would be…

So they managed to make the touchpad twice as large, but couldn't find room for a row of keys?

I've seen articles in the past few days about the email leaks on the washington post, and looking on CNN right now I see an article on the Podesta emails on the politics page. I've…

This is the research project of another PhD student in my lab. It takes an audio file and a script and generates a facial animation to lip synch to the audio. The key contribution …

"Defendants appear to insist that the higher the utility value of speech the less like speech it is. An extension of that argument assumes that once language allows one to actually…

Not a chance. Human interaction is crucial to rehabilitation - what do you think the recidivism rates would be like for a person who hasn't had a real interaction with someone in m…
