One observation: If you're often waking up around 3am, it is a strong indicator for histamine/MCAS issues. This is fairly new research, so most people dont know about it, I haven't…

Me too, 20 years without a single ear infection and without a single day without ear plugs

well I've been reaching 100% of c Speed Most of the time which feels like an easy effort... I guess it depends on the problem a bit and how used you're to writing optimized, clean …

We are working on surface support in Makie to some degree: https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/5516 If we get funding, we may also support stuff like NURBS. Obviously, once t…

To be fair I was suprised too. But I made a relatively simple straight port from the AMD rays sdk plus some input from the pbrt-v4 CPU bvh code and it just worked relatively well o…

It's definitely an architectural problem as well. I do wonder if we could extend that though, without too much trouble for the general architecture - after all, the material does n…

Well I'm a bit of an AMD "fanboy" and really dislike NVIDIA's vendor lock in. I'm not sure what you mean by dynamic dispatch across GPU backends - nothing should be dynamic there a…

I've done lots of manually refactoring of the initial Prototype in Trace.jl (by Anton Smirnov, who I think ported an earlier version of the pbrt book). This helped familiarizing my…

Ah sorry :D

What prediction? Maybe I need to rephrase what I said: My prediction is, that if Julia ever wants to have a shot at replacing Python, it absolutely has to solve the first time to f…

lol. There's not much to fight since its a very personal problem how you want to write code. It's evident that all the capable programmers in the Julia community, have found satisf…

Sorry, I was on my phone. This doesn't seem to be a problem of the description language, but rather how the integrator and materials work internally, so this works the same way in …

I think the hype has slowed down, but all growth statistics haven't. Personally, I think Julia is the only language where I can implement something like Makie without running into …

well, I do hate vendor lock in with a passion ;) But yeah, a lot did happen, this likely wouldn't have been possible one or two years ago!

Ugh, yeah I had some super weird bugs like this in safari, still haven't found the source :(

Nope, we made a complete high level Julia interface and I plan to have the Makie API be the main user facing scene description, which can be more descriptive than pbrt I think!

We ported pbrt-v4 to Julia and built it into a Makie backend. Any Makie plot can now be rendered with physically-based path tracing. Julia compiles user-defined physics directly in…

I'm excited to announce Raycore.jl, a high-performance ray-triangle intersection engine with BVH acceleration for both CPU and GPU execution in Julia. Raycore will power a new rayt…

Bonito has been on a journey from being a pretty neglected prototype to something offering similar functionality to established libraries like Shiny/Dash/Streamlit. Read more in th…

We're excited to feature some great packages utilizing Makie.jl. From intuitive GUIs and robotic visualizations to interactive apps and dynamic simulation displays, these examples …

New version and announcements for Makie.jl, Julia's main plotting library.
