@spilkommen @JanvandenHemel I guess you may have missed the humorous intent in the use of the phrase, but also the heart that exists in human craft.

@JanvandenHemel Great a human made it, it's nice. How is AI cooked? You presented a non-sequitur.

AI is cooked. Only humans could make this!

@maxliani Dude, that is such a wild and awesome pivot 🥹

And, of course, it runs in real-time 😅 The simulation takes <16ms on my computer, so every input change is updated in real-time. For the app, I have used the same foundation code in Workbench (my main hobby project), you may recognize the same UI.

Earlier this year I spent a few weekends toying around the math of simulating finance and investments. The only way for me to understand was to write a program that would put the concept into practice. So, I have implemented a Montecarlo simulator that projects family finances.

@JERICHO1563571 @Kougeru @Gurren69420 It still takes actual skill to translate the memories of those experiences onto a piece of paper or recreate as an illustration. There is beauty in craft, in effort. The magic is that a human can create something magical through lived experience and practice.

@Kougeru @Gurren69420 It can via a prompt it is given and the images available to it to collect that data. The mind 'steals' images of what the eyes see, the eyes are the gateway to the mind, the mind processes this information in a distorted way, a new images is created.

The 🐐 yes Ai is nothing but copypaste their is no Passion in Ai Human art will always be Superior 🔥

@ckhmod @motionpunk1 My favorite was working at a studio where they would ask “which project are you working on today” Like, excuse me…but isn’t that your job to tell me. (5 hours later it would be updated in asana)

@motionpunk1 I'd like to classify those producers that come around every hour and say.. "Got something to show?!" into this category.

Dear producers, Replying back equals courtesy. After all, I didnt ask you about your availability! Believe me, when I always find time to respond, you can as well. If you think you are busier than us, think again! Thank you!

I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner. I blocked 20 accounts and it has removed 90% of the noise that was polluting my feed.

@maxliani First time I heard of light cuts was way back in 2007ish with an experimental renderer that went nowhere, but sounded cool. It’s fun to know that it is something that can be incorporated with other methods. Excited to see you progress

@Pgoski The SLC paper was published in 2019. People tends to use ReSTIR these days. Fact is these are orthogonal techniques one can use together.

First rather naive implementation of Stochastic Light Cuts. Here comparing uniform sampling vs SLC with 1spp over 16,000 lights.

Today we shipped what should be the final update for EmberGen 1.0. In a way this is the end of an era for JangaFX as EmberGen 1 has been the primary driver of our success. We started development of EmberGen in 2018 and released our first version in November 2019. Since then we have gone on to release major improvement after major improvement, year after year. Unfortunately, we realized that the way we had originally architected EmberGen 1.0, it didn't allow for us to expand upon our technology to truly push the limits of what can be done in real-time. For the past 3 years we have been slowly chipping away at EmberGen 2.0, which has been completely rewritten from scratch. The core architecture is mostly complete and we're working on the tooling, usability, and EmberGen 1.0 feature parity. EmberGen 2.0 will truly be better in every single way. Thanks for all of your support! You can follow our transparent progress at jangafx.com/roadmap

@JangaFX Congrats! I have loved watching the development of this tool over the years and using it even more! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!

@blasphemy739 @jeremytipper14 @JimMurp77852985 @MarkJCarney @liberal_party Unfortunately It is not the federal government that controls rental regulations. This is all municipal. I was disappointed by all parties focusing on home ownership and not more on rent, but again, the control the feds have over that area is limited :/

Wow, $840 for a family of 4! That works out to $0.57 per person per day. Not enough for a serving of Kraft Dinner. @MarkJCarney wants you to believe that somehow is going to make our lives better. @liberal_party

@EricDLombardi No more corporate buyers for single, double, or triple home units. No investment homes. More high density apartments. Stricter regulations on rent controls. Just a couple ideas that would hit harder than “building more”

I cannot overstate this enough. Housing in places like Vancouver and Toronto cannot ever be affordable again without prices falling. If Toronto’s prices stagnated for the next *25 YEARS* in nominal dollars, we still wouldn’t return to affordability of 20 years ago relying just on income growth. Our political leaders, from @MarkJCarney and @fordnation to @gregorrobertson and @RobFlackEML need to be honest. If there is no intention to bring down housing prices through supply and tax reform, let’s accept the strategy is a long term price stagnation and figure out how to help people on the wrong side of this new economic/wealth divide.

@stevet_140 @JasminLaine_ Give it a shot, I sent my mom a bunch of articles that were critical of the liberals and she was hooked again. The other option is American owned media, or people like JasmineLaine who get paid by views, which only encourages click bait

@Pgoski @JasminLaine_ Good one. Funny.

In 2 minutes, CBC insults Pierre Poilievre, mocks him, defends Carney’s cabinet picks and reminds us how unbiased they are. Weasels… but they did just get a big payday from the Liberals, so get ready for even more of this!

@stevet_140 @JasminLaine_ You should take advantage of it then. You would be surprised how diverse their reporting is if you actually looked into it rather than the clips fed to you by people trying to get you riled up

@JasminLaine_ CBC gets around $2 billion tax dollars every year in subsidies and large government advertising contracts. Anyone who thinks CBC is not a biased, partisan uber-political, progressive propaganda machine is delusional.

@dantappin @Martyupnorth_2 @ikwilson You do realize that Concordia is an Anglo university that mostly enrolls students from outside Quebec.

@Martyupnorth_2 @ikwilson A university that gives QC students discounted degrees funded by AB equalization money. 💸

CTV had to go to Montreal's Concordia University to find a so-called "economist" that thought a separate Alberta would have a hard go economically.

@NotGodLikeYet @MontrealPlayer @CoryBMorgan Far-left? I grew up for with the people around me complaining about QC, NFLD, NS, ON constantly. And this was 20+ yrs ago. The albertan right runs off the myth of abuse. Set corporate taxes back to the level they were at when you though Alberta was good.

Nah, just the far-left liberals that have lost all common sense. Other than that, I think Albertans are more on the defense, defending their right to self-determination over a corrupt system, while you see easterners support it - especially after electing in another terms of the same thing. It eats away at us.

Opponents to Western Independence keep fabricating reasons why we can't leave. Quit saying we can't leave. We can. Try telling us why we shouldn't. Why should we stay?

@Rusty_lock @Corky77714 You do realize that Alberta runs a deficit because of lowered corporate taxes? - broken healthcare system is run by a provincial government. - oil companies have had their highest production rates under « no new pipelines » Local crimes are dealt with by local courts.

@Corky77714 High taxes, Broken healthcare systems, Redistribution of wealth from west to east, Climate scam policies that prevent prosperity, Open door criminal justice system, Unrestrained immigration that drives up the cost of housing. All kinds of reasons! What's not to like.

Instead of just beaking off and computer screaming insults, please tell me the reasons Alberta should stay in Canada. Thanks 😊

@CitizenWeez @albertaseparate If you account for the incorrect variable then the claim Alberta has on cpp contributions is 108 billion. This bring Alberta to a 31 billion loss instead of the proposed surplus that was calculated with the incorrect variable. So yeah, the variable matters.

@RetireYoung81 @albertaseparate so a variable was wrong but his math was correct.. wtf did you talk about math being wrong when it had nothing to do with it? what a retard.. or maybe you didn't bother fixing the answer because you knew that it still would not defeat the purpose of the argument hu..

Canada wants Independent Alberta to take on its share of the national debt - 11% of $1.26 Trillion or $139 Billion Alberta will expect our share of Canadian Pension Plan contributions - 55% of $675 Billion or $371 Billion Alberta is good with receiving a check for $ 232 Billion #AlbertaSeparation

@KelsiBurns The way the Harper government led us to a 60% increase in the cost of housing?

I miss pre 2015. The way Canada felt, looked, how it moved. Canada felt Canadian. Canada, more and more feels like I’m in the Middle East. Disclaimer: this will set some of you off. But if you haven’t lived my experiences and seen the slow fall of a country from within. I don’t want to hear it. The truth is being honest about Canada is hard frustrating and infuriating. We are in this limbo, fuck around period of the crash. We can pull out of this but we need a serious change if we want to correct course. Long and short, I miss my country and I don’t care how people feel about me saying it openly this way.

@mark_collins09 @Spooper19 @ContrarianTribe @WhatsupFranks Did I say that? I think not 🫶 There are many ways that these things get side stepped. When they tried to add taxes to data transfers from Canada to the states they used the method I outlined. Never stated it is the solution for everything

@Pgoski @Spooper19 @ContrarianTribe @WhatsupFranks Right...every aspect of the film industry can be totally through VPN.....

🇨🇦🇺🇸Did Vancouver and Toronto Film Industry just get nuked?🤔💣

@mark_collins09 @Spooper19 @ContrarianTribe @WhatsupFranks The way that they already handled it in the past was to simply setup VPN or remote machines, and have people from around the world working, while data never actually left the states

@Spooper19 @ContrarianTribe @WhatsupFranks Likely on the production budget. If you know how Hollywood accounting works, it's relatively simple to do.
