For anyone who's tried to use spherical harmonics for lighting and found the notation- and terminology- heavy definitions confusing, highly recommend this classic: grahamhazel.com/blog/2017/12...
I think Graham Hazel's blog was down for a long time, years maybe, but works now!

I really appreciate how nuanced and thoughtful the views of using AI for coding and learning from the Recurse alumni here. Have had my go at using Claude Code I found myself coming into a similar conclusion that there is possibly a good way to use it and help kickstart learning.
We spent two months talking with RC alums and thinking deeply about how LLMs are changing programming and learning.
Here’s what we learned, and how we're currently thinking about AI at RC: t.co/ddFj486ch8

Finally finished that spherical harmonics post that's been sitting in my drafts for 2 years. It's about encoding panoramic radiance with just a few coefficients.

Spherical Harmonics
A math tool you can use to encode/decode the radiance arriving at a point with just a few coeffs.

How is a section about due process mysteriously had a coding error??
It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

Ok, in order to understand simplex noise myself I've made a reference shadertoy implementation of it with a bunch of thorough comments:

Finally, I've added compute support to my hobby Vulkan renderer. This is just a simple particle system to test out, but things are cooking happily. #hobbyrenderer #graphics

I wrote a blog post on my implementation of the Surfel maintenance pipeline from my Surfel Radiance Cascades project. Most of what I learned came from "SIGGRAPH 2021: Global Illumination Based on Surfels" a great presentation from EA SEED :)

If you work in science or government, my sister, Dr. Panzer, has some excellent advice for resisting this regime and continuing to practice good science in support of marginalized communities
Sunday morning I learned that CDC scientists were ordered to withdraw manuscripts under review at sci/med journals to ensure the removal of “forbidden terms” like LGBT. First I ranted & raved w/ some grad school friends over brunch & dominos. Then I wrote about it.
