I adapted @Peter_shirley "raytracing the rest of your life" to use the parallel primitives in VTK-m since it supports multiple backends, including CUDA. There's a early (very slow) version on mybinder to play around with using @QuantStack's xeus-cling.

This strange tweet got >25k retweets. The author sounds confident, and he uses lots of hex and jargon. There are red flags though... like what's up with the DEI stuff, and who says "stack trace dump"? Let's take a closer look... 🧵1/n
Parts of this BEST MOTORing video are in Korean. Specifically Joon Park is speaking Korean, and that's why there are Japanese subtitles for him. @Jalopnik

The NYU CSE department has open positions for visiting professors, starting Sept 1 2024 (for one year). You can find details at https://t.co/NG6cemYFVd @nyutandon
To keep busy during my funemployment, I adapted the gaussian splatting differentiable rasterizer to run on AMD and Intel GPUs. This dataset was generated using a Radeon RX 6600 XT with SYCL + PyTorch+ROCm.
@tonymongkolsmai I love the CT scans of the cables. I'm not a fan of the comparison because that $160 Apple Thunderbolt 4 cable is 3 meters long. I don't think anyone else makes a 3 meter long TB4 cable.
Several open source #GaussianSplatting viewers mention rasterizing splats as quads.
I understand how to transform 3D→2D gaussian, but not 2D gaussian→quad.
The EWA Splatting paper shows this diagram alongside a "radial index" equation, but how is that bounding box computed?
My paper "Nonlinear Ray Tracing for Displacement and Shell Mapping" got accepted to SIGGRAPH Asia 2023 Conference Track.
A big thank you to Brian Budge. He kindly sent me his experimental code that uses Newton's method to handle curved rays. That was 2012, and the problem stayed in my head.
The new method directly traces curved rays by expressing them as quadratic rational functions. That's it!😀
CLOSING TODAY - @SIGHPC Travel Grants for @Supercomputing#SC23. Don't delay on an opportunity to attend in-person! Get the details: https://t.co/3o98oFKX8s
I think about the time I had a very real medical emergency that was brushed off as “anxiety”, how this often happens to women, and how those medical notes may be used to train AI algorithms. This is why representation matters among healthcare AI developers…
Bob Barker was a staple of so many childhoods. A game show host icon. He gave us one of the greatest fight scenes in movie history. He was a legend and will remain one forever. Thanks for all the memories Bob. Rest easy.
@Tiffany_L_Green I don't know about Mario, but https://t.co/VYgrqgLKAu has some Star Wars, Ironman, and Disney Savewo masks. I've purchased the Alice in Wonderland ones in the past and they're good. I found out about Family Masks because of masknerd.
