Autonomous vehicle simulation development with a side of sensor modeling. UE, Raytracing, LiDAR, and PRNG experience. Has beat Battletoads.
One of the truly great, now little-remembered comics from early on in webcomics was A Lesson is Learned but the Damage is Irreversible: alessonislearned.com
I was just noticing that literally none of its comics would fit nicely in any modern social media format.

Almost 500K views! Turns out disguising the game trailer as an animation tutorial was the secret sauce to get traction on YouTube. How knew?

Unreal peeps - I'm looking into idiomatic and performant ways to iterate over all actors in a map and extract certain properties. E.g. I want all static mesh components and need to know their pos in the world. What's the fastest way that works with level instances?

Fediversians. I just spent three weeks blogging EVERY SINGLE NIGHT to give you a COMPLETE list of instructions to RECLAIM YOUR DATA. Go dark, scatter your traces, stay secure, erase your data footprint. Accessible to all.
Just in time too. Data sovereignty and protection are no longer a luxury but a MUST.
Data traces are political traces. History teaches us that data by you and about you can and will be used against you and those you love.
For you, your neighbors, your families. #optout NOW, and help others to do so too.

You cannot get physically-based rendering right without understanding radiometry. My new blog post explains it all, relying on familiar concepts from rendering algorithms as much as possible.
Part 2 will come next week.

#GfxFunFact: Ikea design this ceiling light cover on purpose to slowdown rendering.

@mbr I don’t mean to nerd snipe you, but are you aware of a way to directly calculate every permutation of N bits in an M-bit integer from index? I need up to 4 bits in uint64 and the lookup table is 655k entries.
My best guess at a direct solution is do it recursively with a smaller nCr lookup table but that would use more table lookups in a worse pattern than the big in-order table. So, I’m not persuing it. The order of the non-existing table can be whatever is easiest to calculate.
