I do computer graphics research and teach but some of my tweets are not related to work.

Last minute deal: Jeg holder foredrag i IDA i morgen om hvordan man kommer fra punkter til digitalt objekt:

Der er fokus på træer, på at få alle punkter med og på de praktiske løsninger, der findes hvis man ikke har punkter endnu!

This stone tablet from 1800-1600 BC shows that ancient Babylonians were able to approximate the square root of two with 99.9999% accuracy.

How did they do it?

Excited to share our latest work on bringing the concept of layers to 3D painting in VR! #SIGGRAPH2024

A Palestinian Gay man was just granted asylum in Israel, by the Israeli Supreme Court, because of persecution based on his sexuality in the West Bank.
Why would a Palestinian gay man request asylum in the country that is allegedly committing genocide against his own people?🤔

@ana_dodik We have a SIGGRAPH Asia paper for blue noise point set generation. The idea is to jitter points on a regular grid using curl noise. There is a GPU implementation using Shadertoy. Paper, code and Shadertoy are here: https://t.co/OmUQBKyCFV

I don’t usually post personal news but Clinicians have told us to pull every lever.

A slowly turning gyroid intersected by a plane. I quite like how the intersections look like droplets splitting and merging. Possibly a #codevember post. Rendering in GLSL/OpenGL

@JanusEriksen My bad and now fixed. thanks!

[Andreas Bærentzen @andreasBz]

IMO you need some understanding of how a computer works to code well. So, here is an explanation of a computer in relatively simple terms. https://t.co/RADzbd9CSm
Constructive input is welcome, and let me know if it is

#Ukraine: Remarkable video from the Ukrainian 30th Mechanized Brigade showing a BM-27 Uragan MRL resupply point of the Russian Army struck by artillery in Irmino, #Luhansk.

3x 9P140 launchers, 2x 9T452 transloaders & 5x trucks full of rockets are seen- almost entirely destroyed.

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

Btw, Putin is deliberately awarding the unit for its war crimes. On the field of battle around Kyiv, the Russian Army was soundly defeated. He certainly can’t honour them for that. No this is an honour for massacring Ukrainian civilians.

[Kateryna Yushchenko 🌻 🇺🇦 @KatyaYushchenko]

Putin's former chief economic adviser Andrei Illarionov argues that a full embargo on Russian oil could end the war within two months because it would cut the Russian state budget by half. https://t.co/bVaKkBA5lB

@sylefeb @ThibaultTricard @Shadertoy Nice! Was there a specific argument as to why one should not be able to do UV-free texturing with phasor noise? In related news: somewhat crudely aligned phasors used to visualize min-curvature lines in the picture. No UV maps involved :)

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

I hope the idea of not buying any more fuel from Russia no longer seems as difficult now as it did to many a few days ago. Add that to arming Ukraine well and quickly, and it’s the best way to end this atrocity quickly. That’s the best choice ethically and strategically.

[Chris Alexander 🇨🇦🌻 @calxandr]

Mass executions. Mass rape. Starved cities. Deliberate shelling of hospitals, libraries, schools & apartments. Genocide & war crimes in Ukraine by an army that committed genocide in Syria & Chechnya. The case for unlimited military support to Ukraine is irrefutable: do it.

Russia is making money from the war, and the EU is tolerating it. Russian oil and gas have to be boycotted, otherwise the war will never end.

[Anders Östlund @andersostlund]

NATO/EU should enforce a full embargo on Russian oil, gas and coal. It should also continue to arm Ukraine and threaten China with sanctions if it supports Russia. Isolate Russia completely and the war might end soon. Please retweet if you agree.
