Happy to share that I'll be joining the Advances in Real-Time Rendering in Games course at Siggraph next week to talk about how we render volumetric effects in our Glacier engine & 007 First Light with Smolder! Take a look at all the cool presentations that are lined up!

Hi people of bsky, especially game devs. I am trying to find prior art of programming languages that support at least one of the following as a first class, well-integrated concept 1. (hierarchical) finite state machines 2. Coroutines (or similar) 3. Handling of networking/replication logic

'other players are stopping me from experiencing The Game World' the other players Are the game world

game showcases are important mostly for their value in giving games industry professionals the equivalent of the teacher wheeling in the Big Telly to watch School of Rock

Pssssst, psssst... Hey kids, wanna see the embassy executor running on a GPU?

We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's async/await on the GPU. This has never been done before. www.vectorware.com/blog/async-a... Supporting Rust's async/await (and futures) enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming more ergonomic.

This is Alex Pretti.

The world is changed. "10X engineers" are being left in 2020. Now, we generate 100X code-tokens per hour. Our posting power has increased four orders of magnitude. You may think this is incredible. But the truth is: I think I'm going to off myself next time I read a post generated by ChatGPT.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

WE HAVE A TELESCOPE 🚀 The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has been fully assembled here in the cleanroom at NASA Goddard 😀🚀 and is on track to launch next fall!

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

I had five fascinating conversations for this RPS piece, gathering perspectives on genAI chatbots in games, as seen in Where Winds Meet. Thanks to @meghna.bsky.social, @pyrofoux.bsky.social, @maxkreminski.bsky.social, and @chrisgardiner.bsky.social www.rockpapershotgun.com/horrible-bor...

i was also struck by how many people receiving SNAP are employees of wal-mart and other big corporations. almost seems like we taxpayers are subsidizing private companies 🤔

Interesting perspective on measuring productivity: look at expected side effects. If AI were truly boosting productivity by the claimed amount, we'd expect to see a significant increase in software releases. We don't. mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the...

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up

78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

Great statement and one I absolutely agree with as a developer, both from my professional experiences in industry and ones as an independent developer. www.videogameseurope.eu/news/stateme...

In 2025, no one encapsulates the spirit of Independence Day more than this man. Happy Fourth of July to people struggling for freedom and independence everywhere.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

Garcia is back in the States and can speak. And, because of his testimony, it's clear that CECOT is torturing inmates. In 2025, the American President is disappearing immigrants to concentration camps in El Salvador to be tortured until they die. This cannot be who we are.

Howdy all. I'm unfortunately not going to be with my employer for much longer due to team relocation. If anyone has any info on roles that would allow me to continue my Rust compiler work (in New York City), they'd be greatly appreciated.

Logarithmic maps are incredibly useful for algorithms on surfaces--they're local 2D coordinates centered at a given source. Yousuf Soliman and I found a better way to compute log maps w/ fast short-time heat flow in "The Affine Heat Method" presented @ SGP2025 today! 🧵

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

Pet peeve that has been peeving me a lot recently: People that make their own simplified and barebones version of a thing (very cool), then publish it (also very cool), then market it using some misleading claims about how it's 10-50x faster than the original thing (very not cool).

Wrote an incredibly long and personal essay about what it really means to be a trans man in a — er, I don’t know, a transmisandrist world? A world that actually loves trans men and valorizes us constantly? Whatever people are arguing about nowadays? open.substack.com/pub/thetrans...

Yes, we need to talk about the boys again. Desperately.
