gpu raytracer doing raytracer things. but quite poorly

a yes. i remember why i don't like gpu programming now

straight from the raytracer w/no editing. cyberpunk book (or maybe movie) cover vibes

remember to drink your bleach, we can't post through this otherwise

we all knew matrices would cause more problems than they solve eventually. putting numbers in boxes isn't natural

slightly less cursed chromatic aberration

i fixed it: marifjell.no

today i'm walking up a small mountain to see if i can fix a weather station that for reasons unknown has gone offline ...

i have to say that Meta really are hitting their clown car numbers recently

i finished (most) of my refactoring. and now my gpu raytracer can display plain objects again

something that I’ve been thinking about since DICE is that a lot of highly skilled devs are subject to management labelling them as ‘difficult’ and sidelining them simply because they point out and want to solve a problem, mismanagement which I think has contributed to a lot of failed projects

i swear there was a teapot in here somewhere

found this today. and i have no further comments.

Villa Ronconi by architect Saverio Busiri Vici, 1973. r/brutalism

everything is normal

oh no

using a desktop computer is a steady descent into madness that can only be delayed by posting

could we make everything a little less stupid please

here is an improved render after fixing several issues in the volume light. (rendered in 108 min. 512 iter.)

slightly different render with slightly different post processing

windows can temporarily brick your wifi card in linux in dual boot if you accidentally reboot from a partially complete windows update cycle into linux. because why not

I guess it's entirely in character for Altman to promise that he is solving a problem using a technology they haven't even built yet and that in current implementations does not work very well.

thinking a lot about what a mistake it was on the part of media theory lit to conflate "access to a given digital electronics consumer product" and "democratizing"

orb alert

oh no

a lot of noise here, but kind of interesting result

elon keeps getting more vile. how could we have seen this coming

someone should make a good programming language

orb alert

it has been years since mainstream media lost all ability to make sense of memes coming out of any digital community. but they sure love to spread the memes, though. i'm sure this is fine

i figured out how this happened. and i can now render like this without corrupting my shader parameters

increasingly the best thing about the internet is being offline

having a coding agent with full privileges running on your computer sounds like an excellent way to make programming a computer a lot more unpredictable than it usually is. which is good, because programming a computer is very predictable and boring

ok then ... nothing to see here i guess. everything seems fine.

1:1 crop from an obligatory orb rendering. this is without post processing. for your pondering

slightly different render with slightly different post processing

the office of geometry has issued another orb alert

another chromatic aberration experiment

the era of the smart computer is upon us

a lot of noise here, but kind of interesting result

i removed USA as a shipping location in my webshop, lol

a slightly different scene

prism time!

the appearance of several prisms in a test box can only mean one thing: prism time!
