@WagieWeeb Yea bro, so true! Just make sure never, ever, to go to a restaurant opened by former engineers.

They'll give you NaN.

[Jing @pagedeux]

@yacineMTB problem is that people tend to only be good at some small set of things, and never overcome their myriad weaknesses or blind spots.

good people tend to be good at *everything*, but it's rare enough to find people even attempting to do that

[Jing @pagedeux]

@atmoio work on more difficult (i.e. less prior art) stuff. you'll naturally ween yourself when the AI is just slowing you down

though if you're on that "savvy entrepreneur" route, that might not be a direction that appeals to you

[Jing @pagedeux]

@KrimsonKB @JShodanVR it was all over the zeitgeist, it was clearly on a lot of people's minds

ever hear of "The Matrix"?
or if you read, also books like "Ender's Game"

when will i be able to stop reconfiguring my corne keys every 5 minutes

[Jing @pagedeux]

@tigerisbuilding @teortaxesTex not _gross_ margin, since that's just less COGS, and thus prob closer to 99%

[Jing @pagedeux]

@yacineMTB always has been

[Jing @pagedeux]

@Love2Code thanks! didn't see before

[Jing @pagedeux]

@Love2Code it's possible i missed something in the video, but I'm finding it hard to gain insight from this comment without seeing either:

1. what you are doing or
2. your impl of 'naive' ray marching

[Jing @pagedeux]

@Love2Code sorry, yes my terminology was loose, but that is what i meant.

point was that this algo doesn't seem to help with that part?

[Jing @pagedeux]

@TheMirzaBeig do unity assets make much money?

[Jing @pagedeux]

@Love2Code if that's right, not sure how helpful this is since the expensive part of raymarching is the end of the march, not the beginning.

[Jing @pagedeux]

@Love2Code the visual is a bit misleading, because the code on screen doesn't show anything useful about the thing you're describing.

if I understand your description, I think your algo tries to infer "deeper" (higher z) starting positions for your screenspace rays. Is this right?

@lefthanddraft bro went into lyrical spiritual miracle youtube rapper mode

[Jing @pagedeux]

@onehappyfellow student?

[Jing @pagedeux]

@zezba9000 @BoundaryBreak @kiwitalkz ofc that also means the engine isn't that good. but i doubt every game dev team has engine/graphics guys.

and don't think they all need to, those skills can be expensive

[Jing @pagedeux]

@zezba9000 @BoundaryBreak @kiwitalkz Agree that it's nonsensical for it to be more difficult due to hardware.

I didn't watch the video (not convenient atm), but it's possible that the author is just saying that the specific engine they used made it difficult.

[Jing @pagedeux]

@Jonathan_Blow if music includes anything that you listen to, try 852 hz pure tone

seems silly but it's strangely effective

no idea why, but i guess it's because it's uncomfortable enough that it makes you tune it out.

@notch @Cleeeave @SmashJT curious if you have an answer:

why does the world need this new game?

[Jing @pagedeux]

@Ellski_Mae @LinenMatrix @scarfbarf6 @notch @Cleeeave @SmashJT you look fine, don't feed trolls, lol

[Jing @pagedeux]

@mnmcsofgp @yacineMTB different outcome in my experience.

*generally speaking* people finding religion become better people, while people finding EA become even more douchey.
