holy shit hlsl 2021 actually supports templates well enough to do C++98 era template metaprogramming! I'm about to do crimes in this language. Can't wait to find out if dxc can handle computing cartesian products of typelists, which is the inevitable outcome of this discovery...

The beginnings of a template metaprogramming library using decades old C++ horrors, but in portable shader language.

Tried watching a few siggraph talks this year. So far it's a lot of: "We did this really cool thing! Wanna learn how? Great! Here's 30 minutes of background info, and now time for the juicy bit: We trained a goddamn LLM and used it as a black box estimator!" 😞

the thing about having actual principles is that when a politician I respect does some stupid shit I can just be like, “that sucks, knock it off” instead of inventing an imaginary world where I’m forced to defend stupid shit for procedural 4d chess reasons

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for Epic to grant access to the UE GitHub after linking accounts? It's been several days and support is ... unhelpful. Soothing anecdotes welcome, related or not.
