@maxliani I generally refer to the company name on the employment contract I had. Depends on the context though ... if I'm speaking with someone who will know the new branding and have no clue about the old branding, I'd probably just use the new name to keep the conversation moving.

When you refer to a company you worked at in the past, but that company has been absorbed since by a larger corporation and its old name is no longer in use, do you use the former name or the current name?

Cynically awaiting a future news story about a covert massive sell of the market right before Trump's tariffs were announced followed by a massive buy right before Trump's tariffs were paused/reduced. I can't help but imagine he's intentionally manipulating the market.

I'm incredibly excited and honored to share that Intel Open Image Denoise will receive an Academy SciTech Award! After Intel Embree, this is the second open source library from the Intel Rendering Toolkit to be awarded by the Academy. #Oscars #IamIntel press.oscars.org/news/14-scient…

@Jonathan_Blow @toojoe @cmuratori And in contrast I sit in a not-realtime VFX context, so always curious to compare notes/sentiments on where "upscaling" is/isn't finding success.

@toojoe @robpieke @cmuratori Games don't use raytracing (yet?) because it's too slow relative to the improvement you get, and games is the context in which I interpreted Casey's comment.

I still don't like upscaling. That goes for spatial as well as temporal, although temporal is usually the more visually objectionable.

@maxliani Heh, no. I wish I could get commission on such things, but it's just my genuine "amusement" that year after year after year, there seems to be no competition in the "basic home printer" space :)

Another year, another "just buy a Brother" conclusion to "what's the best laser printer these days?". How many years in a row is this now? nytimes.com/wirecutter/rev…

I call this one "Your Just is my Hassle": Developer A: "Let's just use a Library so we don't have to do The Thing ourselves." Developer B: "Let's just do The Thing ourselves so we don't have to add a Library."

@eugenievt Yeah, this is *really* worrying. Makes me wonder what I've missed and not even realised.

@robpieke My partner and I both have Gmail. Sometimes, when he emails me, it just doesn't turn up. He doesn't get a bounce back but I don't get it, not in spam or promotions or anything. No idea why not

In the last few weeks I've had three different order/confirmation emails (from three different companies) supposedly sent to my GMail account but never received. Not in Spam, not in Bin, just nowhere to be found. Is this a known thing? I can't find anything on Google re this.

This nonapologetic attitude will not go over well in the senate hearing.

@sze9wei It was probably a decade ago (or more), but I remember a panel discussion at SIGGRAPH that included Dennis Muren where he said something along the lines of: if he was a kid again *today*, he wouldn't join the industry because it isn't the same playground of unsolved problems now.

Watching « Light and Magic » documentary and it’s making me both really happy and really sad. This is everything I love about VFX: the innovation, the problem solving, the collaboration, the risk taking. We so rarely get to do this anymore… #vfxisanart
