I've received a 2025 LinkedIn "Wrapped" style summary, and I think it's safe to say that "Wrapped" style summaries have jumped the shark.

Did not do my annual Thanksgiving spreadsheet, because I was "just doing something quick and easy" since it was just the two of us. Took three hours instead of the forecast 1.5, sustained cuts and burns. Never again will I forsake the Spirit of Thanksgiving TPMs.

the only time i ever gave back to my community (cinephile dorks whose parents claim they can't see it but we suspect are messing with us a little)

Hey Graphics Bluesky! I'm in Breda to give a talk on Slang-- I'm up Wednesday at 16:00. This one will cover Slang's features for making large shader codebases a breeze to work with, and avoiding #ifdef hell. Check it out, or catch me at the conference if you have Slang Qs!

Great blog post! On a related note: If you attend GPC in Breda next week, I highly recommend our talk "Neural Shading for Real-Time Graphics" (www.graphicsprogrammingconference.nl/2025/#neural...)

I got to do an explainer of neural shading-- with my NVIDIA hat on this time, and still full of Slang goodness! It's posted over at the NVIDIA developer blog: developer.nvidia.com/blog/how-to-...

The recording from this session is now available: youtu.be/gUE-RIOwQKI?... #Slang #autodiff #shader #graphics #neural #rendering #gpu

I'm giving a talk on Slang's autodiff in just a couple minutes! (8am Pacific) -- Join us using the registration links here: shader-slang.org/event/2025/1...

Coming up tomorrow: I'm giving a talk/walkthrough of autodiff in Slang! These virtual meetup sessions include time for Q&A, so bring your questions! We'll kick off at 8am Pacific/11am Eastern/5pm CEST.

My cat's main means of interaction with the world is "teeth".

The next Slang Virtual Meetup is coming up on October 21 -- and I'll be covering everything you need to know to use automatic differentiation! Details and registration here: shader-slang.org/event/2025/1...

Recordings for all of the Slang-related sessions at this year's SIGGRAPH are now publicly available on YouTube! Check out the Slang blog for links to recordings and session materials here: shader-slang.org/blog/2025/10...

Join us this morning for the next Getting Started with Slang webinar. Today, we will be focusing on Modularization. Register and join us!

Want to organize your shader code better *and* achieve faster compile times? Check out the upcoming Slang virtual meetup session on modularization, Tuesday Sept 9, hosted by Yong He! shader-slang.org/event/2025/0...

It's almost time for the Slang BoF at #SIGGRAPH2025 ! Join us at 2:30pm PDT today in the Fairmont Waterfront, Waterfront Ballroom.

Today, we are having our Birds of a Feather sessions at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel starting at 9:00. Come to hear updates from 3D Commerce, ANARI, glTF, Machine Learning Council, OpenXR, Slang, Vulkan and WebGL! Get the full schedule on our website: www.khronos.org/events/siggr... #SIGGRAPH2025

It's almost time for the @khronos.org Fast Forward! I'll be giving a tiny preview of what's on deck for the Wednesday @shader-slang.bsky.social BoF. East Building, room 15, starting at 10am. s2025.conference-schedule.org/presentation...

The Introduction to Slang lab at #SIGGRAPH2025 is standing room only-- but if you're not able to get in, you can still take a look at the materials, including our interactive examples, linked from our SIGGRAPH landing page: shader-slang.org/landing/sigg...

I'm headed to SIGGRAPH later today! A quick summary of where you can find Slang, and what's in our latest release, here on the Slang devblog: shader-slang.org/blog/2025/08...

Tired: AI is untrustworthy because it can't figure out how many B's are in "blueberry" Wired: AI is untrustworthy because it does not appreciate my darkly whimsical sartorial sense.

SIGGRAPH is almost here, and there's going to be a Heckin Lot o' Slang there. We'll put up a full post on the devblog with more info, but if you're already building your schedule, here's some stuff to earmark! (1/6)

If ever you feel like your code is Real Dumb and you'll never get into graphics, please take a look at my very first OpenGL project, which I recently unearthed on an old drive. It is indeed Real Dumb, and yet I persisted. You can too! github.com/elcuppietan/...

Been a little while since the last one, but I'm back with installment number three in my neural graphics intro series. This one covers using wave intrinsics to get a speed boost-- a traditional compute technique that's just as useful in the neutral graphics space. shader-slang.org/blog/2025/07...

Mozilla put out a blog post about shipping WebGPU in Firefox 141. And with Safari '26 shipping it later this fall, the API will be available ~everywhere! Great to see WebGPU support reaching more people! mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2025/07/15/s...

Me: Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational monitor setup! @meggsomatic.tv : ...did you put your 43 inch monitor in *portrait mode*? Me: 🤗

This session is TOMORROW! Please join us for a "getting started" session on the Slang reflection API! Registration info at this link.

Video of Shannon's talk at HPG is now available! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPWD...

Hi Copenhagen! I'm excited to be giving the first of the Hot3D talks tomorrow at HPG. Hope to see some of my fellow graphics nerds there! highperformancegraphics.org/2025/program...

Slang-curious folks (and Slang enthusiasts) -- I'll be at HPG in Copenhagen next week, with a talk about Slang on the Hot3D track! shader-slang.org/blog/2025/06...

Hey Graphics Bluesky: How can I show an example of specular aliasing on a slide, in a way that: - Shows the motion (look at the sparkles, that's bad!) - Doesn't lose the noise in compression - Is gonna convey via a slide on a video projector in a big room?

#HPG25 program has been published! highperformancegraphics.org/2025/program...

Finally finished adding @shader-slang.bsky.social shaders to all my (almost 100) @vulkan.org open source samples and wrote a bit about it here: www.saschawillems.de/blog/2025/06... tl;dr: I very much enjoyed this :)

Unreasonably grumpy about the experience of buying a monitor, sold as a monitor, with monitor-y features like DisplayPort, only to find that it can only be turned on with a remote, and has a ton of smart TV stuff built in. 😡 (Related: I am the only person who enjoys sitting 12" from a 43" screen.)

Friendship ended with Gaussian Splats. Now Triangle Splats are my best friend.

Next week, I'm co-hosting a town hall on Gaussian splats at the Metaverse Standards Forum! This one will dive into research that's shaping the Next Cool Things in 3DGS. Wed, June 4 - 10am-noon Pacific Register here: metaverse-standards.org/event/gaussi...

The recording of this talk has been posted! We got some great questions during Q&A. Check it out if you weren't able to attend in person! youtu.be/oGAzYih8I3Q?...

📣 Slang enthusiasts: are you coming to SIGGRAPH? Got something cool to share with the community? I want to hear about it! I'm hoping to host a very community-oriented BOF for Slang, so lmk if you'll be there!

Did you know that Slang has a Discord server? Join the discussion: khr.io/slangdiscord

This is starting in about 30 minutes for anyone who'd like to join! You'll need to register at this link to get the Zoom link.

My beginner-level tech talk covering getting up and running with Slang AND Gaussian splatting is tomorrow! Join me here: shader-slang.org/event/2025/0...

Register now for next week's virtual meetup on how to draw your a Gaussian Splat with Slang!

Looking to get started with Slang and neural graphics, but not sure where to start? We're hosting a virtual meetup where I'll do a walkthrough from the ground up! Join me May 20! shader-slang.org/event/2025/0...

The second in my series on Gaussian splatting in Slang has been posted! Here, I walk through how to go from the simplistic & slow implementation in my last GS example to something much speedier. (Although I may still have some more tricks up my sleeves there...) shader-slang.org/blog/2025/04...

Reupping this: Want to get started with neural graphics, but daunted by the math or just don't know where to start? Try my beginner-friendly intro.

I've finally gotten a chance to put together an in-depth introduction to neural graphics for beginners in Slang using a simplified version of our 2D Gaussian splatting example! shader-slang.org/blog/2025/04...

Come join us on Wednesday!
