Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org

www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-grap... Only half read but honestly so many little details about the hardware and APIs that I didn’t know or thought about.

For anyone who's tried to use spherical harmonics for lighting and found the notation- and terminology- heavy definitions confusing, highly recommend this classic: grahamhazel.com/blog/2017/12... I think Graham Hazel's blog was down for a long time, years maybe, but works now!

I really appreciate how nuanced and thoughtful the views of using AI for coding and learning from the Recurse alumni here. Have had my go at using Claude Code I found myself coming into a similar conclusion that there is possibly a good way to use it and help kickstart learning.

Finally finished that spherical harmonics post that's been sitting in my drafts for 2 years. It's about encoding panoramic radiance with just a few coefficients. #computergraphics #rendering #sphericalharmonics #graphics #gamedev

How is a section about due process mysteriously had a coding error??

Ok, in order to understand simplex noise myself I've made a reference shadertoy implementation of it with a bunch of thorough comments: www.shadertoy.com/view/tXsSRS

I have finally opened room 46!!

Finally, I've added compute support to my hobby Vulkan renderer. This is just a simple particle system to test out, but things are cooking happily. #hobbyrenderer #graphics

This is a personal relatable feeling

#Handsoff Okaland! It was great to see a good turnout nationally today.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility. 🏳️‍⚧️ #WrestleSky

Split Fiction is a surprisingly fun game! Fun level design

A lovely little short youtu.be/f7FbZJ_CO8A?...

Tidying up some stuff in my blog: * Mentioned the case when naive MIS works in lisyarus.github.io/blog/posts/m... * Explained what to do if glTF animation lacks transforms for a particular bone in lisyarus.github.io/blog/posts/g...

I wrote a blog post on my implementation of the Surfel maintenance pipeline from my Surfel Radiance Cascades project. Most of what I learned came from "SIGGRAPH 2021: Global Illumination Based on Surfels" a great presentation from EA SEED :) m4xc.dev/blog/surfel-...

Trans people have always been in the forefront pioneering LGBTQ+ rights. You can go and replace letters but you cannot replace a class of people.

This is why I am always loyal to Gritty

As the forces of hatred are on the march, my promise is this: Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

If you work in science or government, my sister, Dr. Panzer, has some excellent advice for resisting this regime and continuing to practice good science in support of marginalized communities

Made Vietnamese fried tofu with pork and tomato sauce (đậu hủ sốt cà). Picture isn’t great, but it tasted so good!

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Found a late night Turkish bakery near home. This is gonna be dangerous!

I recently decided to do something fun and joined an meetup group called Physics With Friends. We get together weekly on Monday nights and spend 2 hours learning and solving undergraduate level quantum mechanics problems. It’s been giving me so much joy doing something completely new & challenging

I didn’t know Fiona Apple narrated this series. This came out I think 2020, but has some helpful tips.

As a gay man, this is becoming real. Queer people are under no protection of this administration. I’m seeing the CDC modifying and removing contents about gender identity, HIV-related information (some has been restored). Some searches now leads to broken links. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Tonight is for creamy leek soup

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

trying my hand at good old-fashioned posting. some old stuff now, some new stuff soon. for now, hi! it seems nice here. www.erinvestart.com www.erinvest.bigcartel.com #portfolioday

Hi new folks!! I'm nick and these are some of my most recent weird little guys

Check, Please! was a great comic!

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

Revamped my 2017 Vulkan renderer over break. New: - Dynamic rendering (no more renderpasses & subpasses) - Bindless textures - Shadow (yay) - ImGui! (<1h, should've done earlier) - Big refactoring: everything as structs, better image layout transitions, replaced fences with timeline semaphores etc.

I ended up buying tiny glade after this XD

Don’t think I’ve forgotten about Neve #dragonageveilguard

This show has been a blast

A collage of different test scenes I used in my raytracer. Gotta admit I'm quite happy with it 🥰

6h flight home, so I picked up this fiction book for a read. It’s good. Now I’m learning so much about the French Polynesian island of Makatea.

Such a 🔥 tiny desk youtu.be/-91vymvIH0c?...
