How I feel now the handkerchief and Madrid are out of the UCL

(3) The blend weight pass writes resolved colors directly for edges and adjacent pixels, following the direct resolve method from Activision filmic SMAA work.
Edge detection supports both color (higher quality) and luma with gather4 (lower cost).
Geometry-aware predication, informed by SRAA, uses depth and normals to reduce false edges on surfaces.

(1) A complete modern compute-based SMAA 1x and SMAA 1TX implementation has been added for my #UE5 plugin and will be included in an upcoming update.
The primary objective is sharp spatial anti-aliasing, with SMAA 1TX providing an optional temporal component. 🧵

Epic has about 30x the number of employees as Valve, so they pay over 10x more in salaries to workers than Valve, which I thought was supposed to be a good thing. If they paid more than they could afford for a time and had to cut back, is that a surprise?

Isn't it better for companies to err on the side of paying too much in salaries, and have to fix those mistakes, than to err on the side of paying less in salaries, thus not employing as many people as they could/"should" have?

When companies do things that you claim are good, but then you punish them for the inevitable roadblocks involved in that, well, this is deeply inconsistent!

@SebAaltonen 2:

You write normal looking code with contracts + field<T> + vectors, and the compiler derives the interface and layout automatically.

The long term plan is multi-backend (DX12, Metal etc...). Currently have just a SPIR-V backend.

[Night @AstirNight]

My language kinda already does this. You write GPU code like CPU code, the compiler determines optimal layout not you. A lot more to it but that's what I can remember at the moment.

[Sebastian Aaltonen @SebAaltonen]

Graphics API should NOT know my data. My CPU code writes it directly to GPU memory. My shaders read it. I use whatever data layout I please. API should not care!

Windows/posix thread launch doesn't ask me to describe the data either. A void ptr is enough! That's good design!

[Night @AstirNight]

@SebAaltonen Total agreement on the new descriptor buffet stuff, it's certainly a step forward. That said, it's still 1.4+/extension territory, which cuts off a decent chunk of older GPUs. Scaffold is trying to attack the issue at the compiler and semantic level.

[Flourish @filissonic]

@atulit_gaur in all humility, i feel you are just scratching the surface and being shook.

[Night @AstirNight]

There's all dark antimatter but couples wether antimatter or matter in a dark state do not relate until they become realized. Genius, right? Something something superposition.

[Night @AstirNight]

Lmao... I'd be a quack physicist if I ever choose to become one.

It's not dimension anything. It's just unrealised matter. Same with dark energy. I don't know for certain. I have an equation that hasn't been reviewed other than by a chatbot which endlessly praised my intellect

[Kekius Maximus @Kekius_Sage]

Physicist Michio Kaku suggests dark matter isn’t matter at all. It is gravity leaking from a parallel dimension.

[Night @AstirNight]

It snt just about dribbling. Its about mobility. Benzema can't dribble, Ibrahimovic can but the former is more mobile, hence fits better with dribbling wingers

[TK @TeaKupps]

What makes this PSG side so dangerous is the fact that all 3 of their attackers are self sufficient- each of them can dribble, shoot, run. Then they bring in Barcola who is also self sufficient.

In comparison Barcelona have only 1 self sufficient attacker- Lamine Yamal

[Night @AstirNight]

Was this so hidden? Mobility win knockouts. It applies to every battle royale sport. Why isn't this obvious to people?

Two things the board could have done for Xavi was to replace Busi, and get him a mobile forward. Not a camper. I liked Roque because of this but kid got too big

[Dissentient @_Dissentient_]

The obvious takeaway from the CL tie between Bayern and PSG should be this. Self sufficient attackers who are not limited to zone or game state are the meta, have always been, Madrid know it, PSG know it, we also knew it.

[MugenLord @MugenLord]

Wow, I found my senior high school photo of my Business Teacher and me, Ms. Lu, back in 2005. She shaped me into the person I am today. She was so hard on me, and I didn't get it at the time.

I remember the time she gave me an after-school detention for scoring an 85 on my Accounting test. The rule for this exam was that if you scored below 70, you would receive detention. As no surprise, the 8 Asian students in our class scored 105, and I was the only student who scored in the 80s. The rest of the class failed, and yet she still handed me a detention.

I thought she was picking on me. I was furious, and she pulled me aside. Then she told me why she made this decision.

Ms. Lu: You're so smart and yet so lazy. You do the bare minimum to get by. The look on your face after receiving that 85, you settled for that score, knowing you have the potential to aim much higher. You are an "A" student, nothing less. There's hope for you, and I don't want you going through life doing the bare minimum and settling for it.

She told me that I can score a 105 and I didn't believe her. I didn't believe I was as smart as those Asian students in my class. But she told me I am just as smart as them if I stop being lazy.

Boy, that put flame under my ass, because the next Exam I scored a 110, 5 points higher than the smartest Asian Girl in the class at the time. She was pissed and in disbelief that I had a higher score than her. The class was generally surprised that I pulled it off. Since then, I was an "A" student in her class. I even surprised myself, and I thank Ms. Lu for that.

I miss my teacher. I wonder how life is going for her right now?

[❤️‍🔥🇦🇷 not again not again @Nyet967104]

Luis Enrique got the best attack in the world got his early goal dropped back and defended with a midfielder at RB mind you 😭😭😭but Flicksexuals will tell you that nigga needs Maldini Nesta Cafu to succeed all because he has no plan B it’s always all out attack 24/7 and if you say something they will tell u “what manager you want you so ungrateful all his players suck” foh bro

[simeon @simeonculer]

Weren't we in a more shitter situation when xavi took over, he helped us compete again, he asked for some players to perform better in the ucl, the board sacked him, flick said those players were good enough yet we've been embarrassed and flick shouldn't be questioned

[aregular_joe @KinteRoots]

We’ve had the easiest route any big team has had in years to a UCL final 2 years in a row and Flick bottled both the Inter and ATM and y’all act like you don’t see it

[MARGHOẞ @MARGHOx9]

B2b easy final route but they "he hasn't spend" narrative still exists

[. @50somethinggg]

Xavi was the one who took over a club in crisis. And even he was sacked. 😂

Flick definitely did not take over a side in crisis.

[💥 @Elvissjnr]

This guy and Reshad Rahman are big cancers on this platform

@nanbasenfc Flirting: 88 point league winners 24/25
