After that unfortunate incident Tim the intern has now been passed on the torch of the fighter jet program.
His first task is learning how to fly on the loaner F15.

The incredible thing about Chat GPT is that understanding language turned out to not be a prerequisite for intelligence.
Which in hindsight is not that big of a revelation.

We report: in the face of sunsets, barometers and thermometers and anemometers, astrolabes, hygrometers and wind vanes really cannot do much. How do you measure the impression that colours and lights leave on the spectator of a particularly compelling sunset?

I can't believe I've never implemented (or seen) this feature before 😳
🎇 Shader Refactoring Mode 🎇
Captures a reference image + GPU timings, then highlights visual and perf diffs upon shader changes.

Hey graphics twitter😊
Is there any info on GPU-Based Validation working on Shader Model 6.6?
I can't find a way to get the resource state validation running on SM 6.6 shaders and there doesn't seem to be any info out there.

Anyone have any software/website recommendations for making pretty static charts/graphs? I’d like the modeling procedure section of my paper to have a visual as opposed to writing out the steps as bullet points. #AcademicChatter
