For the scenes that they’re showing, 76ms is an eternity. Granted, it will get (a lot) faster but this being better than traditional rendering is a way off yet.
Because none of what they call “tariffs imposed on the US” are tariffs. It’s the trade deficit divided by the country’s exports to the US. They’re literally making shit up and expecting stupid people to take it at face value.
They’re imposing tariffs on uninhabited islands. They don’t care enough to even try and make it plausible. That’s how stupid they think their supporters are and how much contempt they have for them.
I used to believe this vehemently. It has become clear that that’s a notion from a bygone age.
The internet has created a global town square where the loudest voices are the ones that catch people’s attention, regardless of the veracity of their claims. There is no truth any more, only the cult of personality.
Tomorrow the US installs a racist, rapist, treasonous kleptocrat as president because the majority of people are unable to think objectively and swallow his promises at face value, despite every indication that life will be immeasurably worse if you’re not a billionaire oligarch.
What’s hilarious is there’s nothing physically based about the Disney model. It’s empirical and It’s not even energy conserving.
As sibling pointed out, physically based rendering precedes “PBR” by a looong time and goes much, much deeper than “I put a metalness map in my shader”
CUDA IS the merit. They’ve been developing the software stack to make GPU programming accessible for 2 decades now. They’re a software company as much or more than they are a hardware company. Ignoring this fundamentally misunderstands why they’re in the position they’re in now.
PowerShell is the worst of all worlds. Its a terrible shell compared to bash/zsh/whateversh, and for anything complex enough to need a long script you’re far better off in Python.
That’s for sRGB, which as for most colour spaces is defined relative to CIE XYZ, which is itself defined in terms of the perception of a “standard human observer”. In XYZ, the Y coordinate is the luminance (brightness) of the colour and that first equation is computing Y from the RGB value
The worst part of it is they aliased a bunch of common posix command names to their power shell equivalents but then they have different flags or semantics. Works fine until it trips you up destructively.
>There's no option to "turn the borrow checker off" - which means that when you're in prototyping mode, you pay this huge productivity penalty for no benefit
That’s not really true. The standard workaround for this is just to .clone() or Rc<RefCell<>> to unblock yourself, then come back later and fix it.
It is true that this needs to be done with some care otherwise you can end up infecting your whole codebase with the “workaround”. That comes with experience.
