Optimizing Volumetric Particles with AI-Assisted Coding
From 2024-25, I didn’t use AI to generate any code in my projects. This was mainly because I was a student, but I was also quite unimpressed with generative AI at the time. I would occasionally ask Ch...

I almost completely stopped posting because I don't feel it is valued or enriches my worldview anymore. I try to go nuanced and engage in a discourse and I get more attacks. I praise responsible use of AI while having a strong pro-artist stance? I end up on blocklists by close-minded zealots. 1/2

In which I argue that the legal vs. illegal immigration debate is largely a distraction. In reality, it comes down to a colder truth: who we are willing to accept and who we are not. That line is drawn by taste — taste changes. dark.ronacher.eu/2025/12/30/i...

I just released my video about the engine (and game) I've been working on. The engine is based on dynamic SDFs, and the video describes how it works and what it makes possible. Link in the reply! This is my first YouTube video and it took forever - please repost!

cseweb.ucsd.edu/~tzli/novelt... I gave an internal talk at UCSD last year regarding "novelty" in computer science research. In it I "debunked" some of the myth people seem to have about what is good research in computer science these days. People seemed to like it, so I thought I should share.

My "No Graphics API" blog post is live! Please repost :) www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-grap... I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now. For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours. Please share your joys with us.

It’s official: EA is going private. The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

I agree 100%. It's one thing to criticize corporate practices, the social impact, ethics, or future risks. But I watch in total awe how it writes in a few seconds a well documented program in a language/API I don't know, while they complain "but it might have a bug and requires a pass or two" O_o

I get so confused on this. I play around, test, and mess with LLMs all the time and they are miraculous. Just amazing, doing things we dreamed about for decades. I mean, I can ask for obscure things with subtle nuance where I misspell words and mess up my question and it figures it out. It talks to me like a person. It generates really cool images. It helps me write code. And just tons of other stuff that astounds me.
And people just sit around, unimpressed, and complain that ... what ... it isn't a perfect superintelligence that understands everything perfectly? This is the most amazing technology I've experienced as a 50+ year old nerd that has been sitting deep in tech for basically my whole life. This is the stuff of science fiction, and while there totally are limitations, the speed at which it is progressing is insane. And people are like, "Wah, it can't write code like a Senior engineer with 20 years of experience!"
Crazy.
