@simonmic TL:DR: it is, but it doesn't matter anyway.
Don't use social media for private chats.

@calmeilles Why don't they do that now and require external incentives instead?

@calmeilles I expect the regulations without a means to expect some reasonable ROI would be sabotaged by very, very, very, VERY shitty pieces of toxic plastic duds.

@BartoszMilewski This is the central problem of governance in Russia. After so many years of systematic breeding for loyalty instead of competence, the morons are far and wide.
If you're an intelligent being and want to have a seat at the table you need to be guilty of something. With compromise being a price for admission, those non-morons who are in are basically evil and held in contempt by the people.
The hope has left the nation.

@BartoszMilewski Mutiny? In Russia? In 2024?
They're pretty damn well know that it couldn't.

The RT book subtitles refer to the scene rendering times 😅

* A few balls: renders in one weekend
* Textured rotating cubes with fog and stuff: takes the next week
* Real meshes and scenes like *that palace*: the rest of your life

@timbray Unfortunately it contains some significant manipulations making it.. idk, suspicious at best.

@shapr Then...

Someone is using my software WHERE?

@me No.

@gregeganSF @mpesce because the trajectories aren't milkomedogenic anymore?

There are 3 types of Visitor:

* Standard Visitor: that are very easy to contain or do not need many resources to contain. It does not mean that the visitor is harmless, just simple to contain.
* Marriage/Civil partnership: that require more resources to contain completely or where containment isn't always reliable. Usually this is because the relationship is insufficiently understood or is inherently unpredictable.
* DELETED.
* Transit visitor: that are very difficult to contain or haven't yet been contained. Generally, the resources used to contain those are often very limited, yet they need much of the resources to contain it. This doesn't mean the visitor is dangerous; just difficult to contain.

The cat is out of the box!

@omgubuntu Nice.

BVH is love, BVH is life 📦

Ramped up samples, bounces, and resolution and the rendering time is still less than the first attemts with the linear traversal of all objects in the world.

Converting interaction event into a single-constructor with additive, multiplicative, and scatter components helped a little too.

Also, skipped ray bouncing when attenuation drops below 10-bit range. The limit practically remains to prevent infinite bounces between perfect mirrors.

Cornell box, here I come!

@tante

> The technology that was at this time last year being somberly touted as so powerful that it posed an existential threat to humanity is now worrying investors because it is apparently incapable of generating passable marketing emails reliably enough.

No, the x-tech that can end it for humanity is not LLM (of a current generation).
The x-tech that will do it is only brewing in the "AI gain of function" labs.

I suspect people who claim "they say matrix multiplication will kill us" didn't do their homework before posting.
