ANANTA is giving me shenmue vibes.

it has been 5 years since dynamic_rendering extension became available and market penetration is still low. even counting just desktop platforms it seems to be about 50%. very sad.

I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code. (And yes it's really been 10 years 👴). therealmjp.github.io/posts/ten-ye...

new in the library. got to be one of the best active sci-fi writers of modern times.

I never thought the United States would be dumb enough to do our own Lysenko, and yet here we are.

another noodle based graph system, another day of productivity down the drain. these fucking things need to be incinerated. all they do is make you waste time, they are of negative utility, they hurt speed and collaboration.

this is revisionist history. this man allowed Putin to invade Ukraine in 2014. that's when this whole mess started. paradoxically Biden was the only prez that knew to do the right thing even though I expected him to be a limpdicked pushover like the others.

on a lark, went listening to avicii yesterday. it occurred to me that if the music video for silouhettes came out today, it would probably face a remarkably harsher response than it did ~13 years ago. paradoxically, something like that is needed even more today than it was back then.

Having siggraph fomo since it seems like it's better this year than last

Most of the slides and course notes for the SIGGRAPH 2025 Physically Based Shading in Theory and practice course are now online, with more to follow: blog.selfshadow.com/publications...

hello new oomfs. looks like the assembly tutorial hit the front page of the orange site again!

Hardware virtual textures look like a marvelous tool for large terrains or volume compression. Alas, they are in a sad state in terms of performance and usability. And strangely, the (very bad) binding perfs varies a lot with the driver. → read here: hal.science/hal-05138369 @rcmz0.bsky.social

it's actually not that crazy when you accept it as a fact that like 50% of americans think that living in dictatorships is actually Cool and Good, and regularly fantasize about it (applies equally to right-wingers and tankies).

skype's death throes. feels strangely sad, even though for the past 10 years i have used it exclusively to communicate with parents.

I recently started tinkering with mesh shaders in my toy engine to get a feel for what is involved in adding support for them and potential performance improvement opportunities and wrote a blog post detailing my findings. interplayoflight.wordpress.com/2025/05/05/m...

i don't know how to explain why writing mesh processing code is very stressful. it feels like trying to tame a boiling shape shifting blob that is ready to fuck you up any second with some weird topology shenanigans.

at&t syntax sucks, so much dumb noise. all these gnu people prefixing their literals with $ cuz they don't have enough $$$ in real life.

ibl is kicking my ass. for now, we have shiny monkey. peep the horrilble aliasing around the rim. i'm fairly sure this is the same fundamental problem as ndf filtering in which case sampling the mip level of appropriate roughness _should_ fix it.

the first time i talked to a real live person over the internet over 20 years ago it was exhilirating, amazing, unforgettable experience. meanwhile, the emotional response from "talking" to a computer for the first time, ranged from meh to mostly negative. i think it's a bit funny.

took friday off for personal reasons

this texture import pipeline stuff is the definition of boring stupid glue code. "ok take the image from blender, feed it to library A now feed the outputs to library B". i wanna be done enough with it so i can move to image based lighting.

microsoft: wow, git, huh? as the author how do you feel - linus: idk i made in in 10 days and promptly bailed because this shit is boring af. you should probably talk to junio. youtu.be/sCr_gb8rdEI?...

In today's new blog post, I try to provide some intuition and clear up some misconceptions about early Z cull behavior on desktop GPUs. Have a read if that interests you! therealmjp.github.io/posts/to-ear...

how to boost productivity: - be unaware that a feature exists; - file a ticket for it and put in on the planning doc; - discover the feature months later working exactly as you described, remove from the roadmap; - boom 2 weeks of engineering time saved 🤦‍♂️

gemini 2.5 pro fails to oneshot leetcode medium this is not what i was led to believe about the state of ai

🤔🤔🤔

there are no good c++ ides that are free software. i don't know why stuff like codeblocks and codelite even exists, they fail at the most basic things one can ask of an ide.

when you find typos like this in a library you're using, do you keep using it? (rhetorical question, I'm not writing my own bc7 encoder)

lazygit is remarkable. it takes some next level thinking to make git even more confusing and annoying to use.
