Branchless ISPC tip of the day… Use unmasked, and(), or(), and select() for best results. Avoid if, &&, ||, and the implicit __mask as these can generate conditional jumps forward.

"LLMs" will seem like a dotcom gamma ray burst compared to the dotcom bubble... TwT

After nearing 1000 encounters with investors, in my experience: Nothing scares VCs more than a solo technical founder. They would rather invest in middlemen and sellers. Proof that product never matters.

I found out I could just replace my overly engineered struct with a float4x2 instead for the GAT's position, uniform scale, and rotation. Also scales perfectly across CPU and GPU. TwT)/

Thanks a lot for the support!!!

:3 smugdev Definitely going to have a sane threadpool/MT system, and would you recommend rolling my own math for SIMD or just using a library? I know there's many that do it well, DirectXMath and stuff like that

We're reaching peak burgerpunk. :3

Another review! gamingonlinux.com/2025/09/call-o…

It's pretty interesting that even though the Sega Dreamcast's SH4 CPU was only meant to accelerate 3D vector and matrix operations, you can still (ab)use the FPU in various ways to still get some level of acceleration out of quaternion math. The function on the left is the

This isn't just placebo, it affects Unity games all over - the moment they use this in-built frame limiter, they are at a mercy of the Windows timer resolution (1ms) and they stutter. Special K increases the resolution to 0.5ms so it performs better, but still far from ideal.

It seems I can halve the amount of bones used per vertex for the GAT from 4 to 2, as it doesn't seem to be that much of a difference overall. Besides, it's about scale, not accuracy. Then again, I can leave in an alternative for the users to have 4 bones if they want. TwT

Every time the C++ committee introduces a new feature you inevitably discover some really basic case that doesn't work as expected, e.g. concepts that check if a member exists!

Silent that method I pasted already implements a mixed strategy, it's sophisticated enough to be used as it is, although I have my own solution (check SpinOnceCore) source.dot.net/#System.Privat…

It's funny (but mad sad) that the only person who doesn't understand the business model of outsourcing is also the person signing off on outsourcing... What does it take to curate someone to come into this position of power only for it to be abused?

Just found that Matrix4x4 and float4x4 are not interchangeable within Unity for multiplication operations... ;_; Left is Matrix4x4 * Matrix4x4, right is float4x4 * float4x4:

I broke WebGPU build, but fixed it 5 minutes later. That's life. Always going forward, not reverting.

Well, I didn't get that chance... ;_;

We continue to create creatures for “Call of the Void.” This is a mix between Shambler and Barracuda Shark.

Oh wow this is bad. This looks like some shady copycat scam webcite that tries to get people to pay into the scammers' accounts, but no, this is the offical apple produce webcite... ;_;)
