Few books have had such lasting impact on my life as Thinking, Fast and Slow. TLDR: Humans are slightly evolved chimpanzees. That includes me and you.

I used to think I was rational. Then I read Daniel Kahneman's Nobel Prize-winning work on human decision-making. He routinely asks 8 questions to expose cognitive traps you fall into daily. Test yourself with these questions (it's the ultimate BS detector for your brain):

This is a really great collection of STEP files: deep-geometry.github.io/abc-dataset/ Are there any better ones?

I’ll use this thread to go through the main ideas and results of this paper, since I am genuinely very proud of it and think it may be very interesting to others in the community.

Here’s a geometry processing 🔥hot take🔥: **You can think of SDFs as parametrized point clouds.** This is the idea behind our #SIGGRAPH2024 paper “Reach for the Arcs”, a joint work with @samara_ren , Christopher Batty and @OdedStein Paper & Code: odedstein.com/projects/reach…

Wow this is really cool and very simple!

Is there a visual programming system with nice user-defined types? It seems like many node graph/data flow systems leave this (extremely useful) concept out.

Why don't we have Amazon scale gigafactory warehouses full of CNC machines? •Don't do anything fancy. •Don't invent any new technology. •Don't over automate. •Don't start with 5 axis aerospace, do 2 and 3 axis commodity level parts. •Just execute insanely well on the…

I will give a talk at #SIGGRAPH2024 about a new way of evaluating #Bezier #curves that I call Seiler's Interpolation, using half the linear interpolations of #deCasteljau's algorithm. I built an interactive demo: cemyuksel.com/research/seile… See the extended abstract for the details.

It’s not just “annoying”. Refactoring all of 2D rendering - lines and curves, analytic rasterized shapes, clipping, text rendering, real anti-aliasing, etc etc into modern GPU pipeline (“here are triangle buffers and shaders, good luck. btw we got rid of immediate mode rendering,…

Curious to know how much weight I put on by simply wearing a Krispy Kreme shirt


Another data point towards my theory that any sufficiently large tech organization will eventually have a "Project Titan". It is a trusty hammer in big co politicking.

I've been putting together arrangements for different jazz tunes on guitar. I can now usually learn a new song every day. Here are some songs I've recently learned: * Everything Happens to Me * Blue & Green * My Funny Valentine * My Foolish Heart (same page of the real book)


Some books I've recently read and enjoyed: * Faraday, Maxwell, and the Electromagnetic Field: How Two Men Revolutionized Physics * Native Carolinians: The Indians of North Carolina * Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger * Influence: The Psychology of…


Interesting how the three.js repo has become a kind of unit of system performance

To show what’s possible with the drastically huge context window in Gemini 1.5 Pro, we prompted it with the three.js examples code - over 100,000 lines of code/800k+ tokens! (That’s not even the max, it can handle millions of tokens 😀) Gemini was able to process all the code…
