WIP preview - doom mods in the browser. I optimized this quite a bit - now it manages 240hz+. And uses streaming to load the data in. c0de517e.com/EXTERNAL/DIST/i…

Amiga OpenGL remote rendering. OpenGL commands get serialised on Amiga, sent over a TCP socket to a remote rendering server. That is Amiga 68k GLQuake (running in winuae) rendering on my PC RTX3080 GPU :)

Here’s an interesting new JCGT paper showing that small neural nets can outperform LUTs in speed/memory/accuracy even when embedded in purely CPU-based renderers. The authors are some ex-Pixar rendering guys who are now at Aurora. jcgt.org/published/0015/01/0…

This is why I was never excited by static memory safety guarantees. My code does have bugs - plenty - luckily, I catch them while testing - good. The % of my bugs that are memory, or even threading related is vanishingly small. Can remember only one in the last year...

In fact I would wager that in general (outside high security code etc) people are scared of memory bugs because of a fallacy. As they are rare AND we have great tools to catch them dynamically, the ones that survive are nasty cases that take weeks to debug. People get traumatized

...even if the trauma came from one incident in a decade that took one person a month to chase. It becomes a "mythical" hard bug - everyone has experienced one of these - and nobody does the math of the actual impact versus all the other "easier"/more frequent/harder to test bugs
