KAIST Int'l Graduate application term for Spring'24 admission will happen soon (Aug 24-Sept 14): admission.kaist.ac.kr/intl-graduate/… My lab also has an opening for PhD applicants which will be covered by a government scholarship + lab stipend. DM me if interested in more detail

Intel is excited to see the broadening of support for @aousd. We've been collaborating with Pixar for years and support USD workflows through the #OSPRay for Hydra Plug-in available in the #oneAPI Rendering Toolkit. intel.com/content/www/us…. #IamIntel open.intel

'#Siri: please give me a visual metaphor for the status of cycling infrastructure in the United States' Yes, that is an actual bike path. Yes, those are actually 8 protected lanes for driving. — Lakeshore Drive, #Chicago

Great post on graphics programmer role interviews, interestingly from the POV of the interviewer. YMMV with the taxonomy, it will depend on type of company (games or tech vendor), project size/size of rendering team, custom tech/commercial engine etc jeremyong.com/graphics/inter…

Have you ever wondered how the grass in Ghost of Tsushima looks so good? Wouldn't these environments take decades to build by hand? Believe it or not, Sucker Punch Studios actually used some very creative techniques to let the grass build itself. Another long 🧵

Your weekly reminder that FFmpeg powers all online video - Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Disney+, Netflix etc etc, all run FFmpeg underneath

Bob Barker was a staple of so many childhoods. A game show host icon. He gave us one of the greatest fight scenes in movie history. He was a legend and will remain one forever. Thanks for all the memories Bob. Rest easy.

I think about the time I had a very real medical emergency that was brushed off as “anxiety”, how this often happens to women, and how those medical notes may be used to train AI algorithms. This is why representation matters among healthcare AI developers…

Several open source #GaussianSplatting viewers mention rasterizing splats as quads. I understand how to transform 3D→2D gaussian, but not 2D gaussian→quad. The EWA Splatting paper shows this diagram alongside a "radial index" equation, but how is that bounding box computed?

My paper "Nonlinear Ray Tracing for Displacement and Shell Mapping" got accepted to SIGGRAPH Asia 2023 Conference Track. A big thank you to Brian Budge. He kindly sent me his experimental code that uses Newton's method to handle curved rays. That was 2012, and the problem stayed

To keep busy during my funemployment, I adapted the gaussian splatting differentiable rasterizer to run on AMD and Intel GPUs. This dataset was generated using a Radeon RX 6600 XT with SYCL + PyTorch+ROCm.

Parts of this BEST MOTORing video are in Korean. Specifically Joon Park is speaking Korean, and that's why there are Japanese subtitles for him. Jalopnik jalopnik.com/watch-drift-ki…

This strange tweet got >25k retweets. The author sounds confident, and he uses lots of hex and jargon. There are red flags though... like what's up with the DEI stuff, and who says "stack trace dump"? Let's take a closer look... 🧵1/n

I know that there is a lot that happened in that race but let's not be distracted from the main storyline which is that Yuki is in the points again.

Me all day with Metronet Fiber
