In my spare time I do some music (at least trying to).

Wow, 100 followers, thanks 🙏
Having 100 followers on Mastodon is a LOT more meaningful than on birdsite, because I feel that each one of my followers are real people with who I have real interactions.
Happy to meet you all :)
Approximate Convex Decomposition for 3D Meshes with
Collision-Aware Concavity and Tree Search
by XINYUE WEI, MINGHUA LIU, ZHAN LING, HAO SU
Approximate convex decomposition of #polyhedra is a very important problem in #gamedev, #virtualreality, #3d.
Convex objects allow us to test if a point is in that object in \(O\log(n)\). This operation is used to check if an object is colliding with another. Unfortunately, the objects that we manage are rarely convex, so most of the times developers tend to approximate the mesh of a model into a convex one (a cube, sphere, etc).
In the most representative cases, a #convex decomposition happens -> we divide the domain of the mesh into convex ones. What happens? If the mesh is very complex, we can have a very high of convex meshes! More colliders for the scene 🤯
For that reason there are methods to have approximate convex decompositions, convex decompositions that "look like" the original one in order to respect its collision properties.
You can read the paper in more detail here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.02961.pdf

Test test, I think this thing works? Hello! I'm OpenSet and I'm new here. I like synthesizers, microscopy and math

Deepdwn is an offline-only markdown editor and organizer.
It's designed to be helpful, pretty, and private.

In case you’re not following the drama main stage… here’s Elon Musks’s vulgar acknowledgment of the #TwitterMigration to Mastodon

I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's

I'm seeing a LOT of new visual artists coming here and that's great but hey, where are you, musicians? Writers? Artisans? Other creative people?
Boost and please answer to this post with your work for more visibility!

Elon just locked my Twitter acct. I guess not ALL the content moderators were let go? Lol.
For those followers that I do not follow back: in order to keep my timeline safe and interesting I only follow those that I find interesting to discuss with.
However, if you follow me but you don't have an #introduction or #bio full of #hashtags, I will not know what are your interests.
So, please, take some time to introduce yourself and write a bio so that I know who I am dealing with :)

For those of you who joined this week, it may be hard to understand how bewildering it is for us who have been here longer.
It took me from April to November to connect with 300 people. It took from when Elon bough Twitter for me to connect with 1,300.
It took me since LAST NIGHT to connect with 2,700. This is bonkers.
We are so glad you are here and PLEASE don't turn this into the what many of us fled some time ago.
1. Dunking gets you no points here.
2. Claps/clapbacks etc. don't either.

Personally, I will mute or block anyone I see cultivating the toxic bits of Twitter culture here.
And to my fellow. former bluechecks: this is a place for conversation and connection, not narrowcasting and influener-ing.

Going forward, all tweets advocating two spaces after a period will result in temporarily losing verified account privileges.
For the new guys here, I can explain Mastodon.
Mastodon is a high school where the nerds, the sports guys, the mean girls, the popular students and the teachers are all speaking with each other.
The Federated timeline is like the cafeteria, where everyone talks together.
The Local timeline is the toilet rooms, where the members of a group talk to each other in the same group.
And the Fediverse is an ensemble of independently hosted servers that use web publishing protocols in order to communicate between each other by using decentralized methods of communication.
Easy to understand 🤷♂️

Academics, I am BEGGING YOU when you move on to a new uni please for the love of god leave a forwarding email!
Y'all all moving to a new uni every 5 seconds and your old email just dies. It's probably cleansing, like when a force quit closes 500 tabs, but I'm a tab! Please I want to talk to youuuuuu.

#Introduction! I'm Sam.
I'm a hobby programmer (mostly Rust these days -- feel free to check out https://github.com/sts10/). Interested in passwords/passphrases, privacy, Linux, Neovim, etc. Occasionally blog about those things here: https://sts10.github.io/
Been happily reading a lot of books this year (novels and non-fiction). Let's trade recommendations?!
I'm physically disabled, something that I almost never talk about, but probably should!
I've worked as a social media editor at CNN and BuzzFeed News, though am looking for a new job at the moment...
Been on here since '17 if you have questions!
