i think i spent 6+ hours today just hunting down 1 data race bug that only occurred when there was greater than 2^17 vertices.

It turns out correctly implementing the radix sort can massively improve the performance of your raytracing.

i can see something with da texture :D

i added this incredibly laggy raytraced wireframe debug view as a whim and also today i fixed input and camera stuff. Yay

The Vietnamese and Cambodians don't import many US goods, because US goods are expensive. This leads to a very high trade deficit, which the administration has incorrectly interpreted as a "tariff".

oh so it's kinda like being a graphics programmer?

Ok here's what I got after reading a bit.
You can read the following equation in this way:
Total Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy
So E*psi is total energy, h/2u(del^2psi) is kinetic, and q^2/(4 * pi * eps_0 * r)*psi is potential.
You can read the following equation in this way:
Total Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy
So E*psi is total energy, h/2u(del^2psi) is kinetic, and q^2/(4 * pi * eps_0 * r)*psi is potential.

Otherwise it may require a special-built algorithm, however these algorithms will always involve some amount of decomposition into smaller subproblems like Strassen's algorithm.

A better strategy is just eliminating the communication altogether. If your algorithm can be decomposed into associative operations (monoidal) then it can be turned into a fast parallel algorithm via prefix scan.

How can we cope with this? Firstly, we can use compression to limit the amount of communication. However, information can only be compressed so much, and compression requires intensive computation with diminishing returns.

The way to make things scale successfully is to first recognize that communication is the bottleneck.

the factorio base is now so big that I'm using a spidertron, not because it's faster than walking, but because I can use the remote to go places without needing to hold down the button

That is, an incredibly small number of devs are making all the money. Note the y-axis on this graph is logarithmic!!! The page linked in the alt also shows just self-published single player indie games which shows a similar curve.

All of this has essentially been caused by continuously dropping barriers to entry for game development, and the high interest rate environment making it hard to get capital.
