#852Resume builder 7 months ago, I was looking for a job and got frustrated with the current resume builders, so decided to build one exactly how I wanted a resume builder to be. - Free (like really free). - No signup, no login. - Has AI features to improve text. - Find jobs matching the resume. https://resumeyay.com
Nice, this sound almost the same as my solution. Looking for a job and then building an app just how you would like to have it for yourself :)
I try to use a pdf upload to gather info more easily for a user (eg from LinkedIn). Maybe you can incorporate that also?

#853I've recently re-watched John Carmack's 2004 Quakecon keynote (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=602&v=OOVUZZr655...), which happened during the Doom 3 launch. In that keynote, he mentions that he didn't see any differences between stencil and shadow maps. He mentions that he experimented a lot with both approaches, before settling for stencil shadows which were much faster.
I got curious about that statement, since shadow maps tend to look much different. I also knew that he left part of the experimental renderer in the GPLed code. So, I've decided to go on that rabbit hole of Doom 3 graphics, specifically Carmack's experimental renderer and ended up implementing his approach, as well as adding some poisson disc sampling and fixed the peter panning: https://github.com/klaussilveira/exp-dhewm3
I also spend a lot of time on archaic game engines. I like to call it software archeology.

#855I was inspired by this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43745615 and built a simple workflow to process all my photos: for each photo it generates a text description, a list of keywords, and the mood. My plan for the next step is to detect faces, ask the user to label the most occurring faces, and then label all images accordingly. This step seems a bit harder than just feeding the image through Gemini an…
Any plans to release it in any form, or is it just a personal project? I would love to do something similar to my collection.

Can you post screenshots or gifs/video comparisons of your updates to the renderer vs the original? Either directly in the readme or links? Keep up the good work!
