Hero Wavelength Spectral Sampling successfully implemented! 🎉 Both: 4 samples per pixel Left: one wavelength per ray Right: four wavelengths per ray With only a modest increase in runtime duration, the image becomes much smoother. This is more efficient than just adding more samples per pixel!

Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling

i guess the closest i have to a glib position is "you shouldn't have to pay a defence contractor to use a computer" plus "subsidizing tools that enable widespread fraud is bad" plus "you should not be surprise if people are judgemental about software that has killed several people"

ladies, is your programming - a field dominated by rich white men - driven by fashion trends - practiced as a demonstration of status - funded by vanity projects for failsons - filled with queers trying and failing to break even that's art, sorry

perfect, no notes

A spoon is just a very tiny bowl with a reeeeally long handle.

Something I wish more people would realize.

start paying artists you fucks!!!! the potential of you reaching nirvana depends on it!

Discworld QOTD, from The Truth

The mantis is called the 'rice-pounding grasshopper' in Thailand (ตั๊กแตนตำข้าว), from the motion of its raptorial forelegs resembling the traditional manner of pounding rice to remove the husks. This one was drawn with this very brush.

According to YouTube, the Finnish flag is "Potentially inappropriate"

Ooof, wavelength-dependent scattering + scattered surrounding sky produce incredibly soft & lovely visuals

Volumetric path tracing adventure continues: added single-scattering by approximating the shadow ray transmittance using ratio tracking. Took a while to get all the coefficients right. Left: raymarched, right: path-traced #graphics

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

If cuddling built muscle I'd be so damn ripped 😮‍💨

Because apparently this needs to be said: if you’re part of a coordinated disclosure process the appropriate thing to do is to talk to the rest of the group before you make unilateral decisions because the process is *coordinated*. It’s right there in the name Don’t agree to that? Don’t be in one

steam should have tipping. it should have tipping. there should be tipping on steam. on steam, you should be able to tip the developer. the tip money should go straight to the developers who worked on the game and not the publishers or valve. they should make it so that on steam, you can give a tip

Get. Treated. Immediately. Rabies is so rarely survivable that you do not want to play that game. It will kill you. www.cbsnews.com/news/ryker-r...

I did though

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

This week has involved too much computer, and as a person whose job is computer, I would like there to be less computer going forward. Thank you for your attention.

it's not the only problem in the world but it seems very clear to me that better ADHD support leads to better real-world outcomes, and that the delta between outcomes for the well-supported and unsupported is frequently enormous

uh oh fedi.katze.sh/@elise/11747... sorry, i mean, "is this good"

Hey friends, I’m looking for my next gig - ideally something deep in a perf-sensitive stack, somewhere in Rust land. Would appreciate a boost!

anyone have any good news? I'm running a bit low

#graphics folks, what are some interesting missing features / unsolved problems / etc. in shader compilation / optimization / profiling / tools? One of my students wants to do something like this for their masters degree.

And there's another one... fedi.katze.sh/@elise/11747...

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

When I grew up we had numbers like 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0, not just 04

After the firefighting is done (and a nap) we'll need to have a long, serious conversation about the state of non-browser non-platform X.509 verifiers. The Linux status quo is "a pile of PEM files behind a dumpster" and that's not an acceptable excuse for a root store in 2026.
