@kiaran_ritchie Except for the speculation part yes. The whole US engine team is gone.

@nicbarkeragain Interesting project for sure! How do you plan to balance against "meta" programs (ones that shared and used by most/all users)?

[Alex Demyanenko @track33r]

@rafcolantonio Yeah, who would use it because of ridiculous price.

Required reading if you've ever wanted to understand SIMD beyond "it makes things fast."

SDL3_net is at prerelease! We'll probably move to an official 3.x release soon!

@SebAaltonen I wonder why dedicated render thread instead of render jobs running on some scheduler?

[Sebastian Aaltonen @SebAaltonen]

TLDR: Run discard last. All other shaders in the pass before shaders with discard. Never put discard in shader if it doesn't need it! It slows down massively even if branched out!

@vzrosly_content А где же чокер с колечком?

@turbojedi Прикинь если потом выяснится что так умерла очередная HL3

@lisyarus Usually GPU side validation is so expensive that it would be prohibitively slow. There is a chance that something else is going on.

Two level bitfield approach for sparse index. You can inner join these super efficiently. Fast empty space skipping (21845 elements per cache line at top level). Binary AND + tzcnt loop. Lower bit mask + popcnt for index calc. We already used this trick 12 years ago at Ubisoft...
