I think the vacation shenanigans are nearly done. I've done a due diligence of using #Slug or #SweepingScanline and it seems to comeout in favor of the sweep algo. Faster, simpler code, single curve texture. Thx @scuff3drook.bsky.social ! @defold.com #gamedev

rookandpossum.com/posts/anti-s... This is an off-my-chest sort of post about what I perceive to be the incredible madness in the industry writ-large with respect to AI.

rookandpossum.com/posts/tell-m... Quick post, expanding on last week's post on interview questions. This post expands on a few responses I've given over the years when prompted to talk about a "tricky bug I fixed."

AMD decides that what graphics programmers were missing from TDR-analysis on AMD GPUs was the ability to use LLMs to analyze crash dumps... I need to LLM bubble to burst already

In this week's post, I'm kicking off a mini-series to present interview questions I've received in the past, how I responded, and some thoughts on how I would respond today (with over a decade of hindsight and additional experience). rookandpossum.com/posts/interv...

Youtube has this "feature" where for every comment posted, they generate a slop response, and they even give you an option to auto-reply to everything with slop. The responses are often aggressively patronizing or just flat out wrong (have seen bad math, bad suggestions, etc.). It sucks 🙄

It happened... packing draws into instanced draws and I introduced a bug where a previously wave-uniform resource needed a `NonUniformResourceIndex` and things exploded. Consider this a public service announcement. I feel like I always forget NURI exists and it rudely disabuses me of that notion.

OK so I've seen a couple questions/comments related to whether or not this technique supports *rotation*, which tells me I perhaps didn't do a good job explaining a couple key points. The technique explains how to do an unweighted glyph box filters in a shader...

*tap tap* Is this thing on? www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9bz... rookandpossum.com/posts/scanli... I made a thing! I suspect I'll be posting to an empty room like a madman, but for now, I'm going to make a habit to start posting things here when I post videos/blogs/papers.
