congrats to the HN posters for having an entire thread about Oxide without mentioning the compensation model I thought I'd never see the day 🥲

1/6 Excited to share our #SIGGRAPH2026 paper, Dual Contouring of Signed Distance Data! We propose a new method for reconstructing sharp meshes from discrete samples of signed distance functions (SDFs) that does not require gradients. Project page: gatc.cs.columbia.edu/projects/dua...

Good morning, I'm happy to announce the release of Fidget 0.5.0! The big new feature in this release is a WGPU backend for fast 3D rasterization. In places where you can't run a JIT compiler (cough web browers cough), this gives an alternate path for interactive rendering speeds on complex models!

good news: my GPU-based SSAO implementation is looking good bad news: I'm discovering all of the ways that my CPU-based implementation is wrong

There more I think about it, the more I think "critical AI" work written by (or "in collaboration with" or whatever) LLMs is an incredible opportunity space for grift, bc you can count on it reaching the readership that is least likely to be able to spot machine writing. But what a moral vacuum.

I’ve got great news about your obligation to complete the work – and bad news about your liberty to neglect it.

okay that’s enough computer-posting, please admire these trees

Boy, Hubris sure has had a lot of recent commits that fix nearly-impossible-to-trigger off-by-one bugs! I wonder why…

We're joining @anthropic.com's Project Glasswing, a collaborative effort to secure the world's most critical software. We're using Claude Mythos 5 to find and patch potential vulnerabilities across our codebase, from firmware through the OS, and control plane.

"We have generic parameters from outer item at home" play.rust-lang.org?version=stab... I feel like I keep re-discovering that this works, and forgetting why it's more limited than I actually want it to be in the general case, but it does print what you'd expect it to print :)

it just like me fr

Over the past week or so I’ve been working on various little web projects and I just realized today that GPT had opened like 20 tabs in my browser as I had been asking it to do various rounds of debugging lol

boy I’m sure glad we solved AI alignment before deploying modes that could autonomously jailbreak themselves and hack cloud provider infrastructure stuff could have gotten really weird

this is a very normal and non-threatening verification code, thanks GEICO!
