Was a kickstarter scam about an engine which could somehow store an infinite amount of voxels in memory and then render a portion of it in realtime.

>>60845384
https://www.linkedin.com/in/slgonzalez

>>60845439
The trick is you don't store infinite voxels in memory. You store only what is displayed or is about to be displayed in memory. Smealum did this when he implemented Minecraft on the DS, which has tiny memory.

they never showed the engine with dynamic lighting or literally any other technology that is suited for gaming and people were surprised when game companies weren't falling over themselves trying to buy it

their target market has always been 3d mapping of real historic environments for preservation or similar purposes, it was evident in the very early videos and they were pushing that market segment *hard* in the more recent videos, and no surprise checking their wikipedia that they've moved into the 3d holographic area

Yes, a good university will 99 times out of a 100 make you better than if you go it alone because of many obvious factors. In Germany, I'm not sure you even accrue debt from university because it is free? so there is no reason not to go if you're truly passionate about whatever.

Of course, those who practice in their spare time at university will be better than those that don't. University won't magically make you better, it still requires hard work.

Autodidacts have extreme dedication, so they keep learning. Most people who go to uni don't really want to study, so they pick up just enough to graduate. Then they stop learning.

Sort of like Broly vs an android. Once the android is assembled, its power level remains the same. But Broly's is always increasing. Of course then there's someone like Goku who has the dedication of an auto-didact but still goes to uni so in the end he's the best. But those people are very rare.

Are we all forgetting about Mr. "Revolutionary Compression Algorithm" better known as the kid who just discovered the "Create Shortcut" option?

Wasnt /g/ working on a distro?

>>60845439
To be fair, similar techniques have been used in the past to get graphics quality much better than conventional rasterization techniques for the given technology.

Blade Runner game for example.

Voxels are also used for CT scans and other 3D imaging where an arbitrary amount of 3D detail needs to be stored, processed, rendered, and manipulated.

The core concept is solid, but it really wasn't something new. It's just been relatively impractical due to the ridiculous storage space required.

The most realistic way of doing it, honestly, would be to stream voxel data from a server to a client on demand, but that'd make the game practically unplayable for Australians (and Americans with the way our internet is going).

There is nothing wrong with that. Any white person who voted for the GOP last election cycle need to be kept far away from the polls next year and in 2020. They lost their voting privilege by making such a huge blunder in 2016. They abused their right to vote, and now that right needs to be confiscated from them before they cause any more harm to this country. We are already suffering under Trump in ways we can not recover from.

You're not making your point sound anymore intelligent. You can't abuse a right, regardless of how you vote. Hence, discriminating against any voter for anything other than legal status and whether they went to prison or not is an abuse of the 1st Amendment, since voting is a form of free expression, just like discriminating against someone's skin color from voting is an abuse of the 1st Amendment.

that's what they were bullshiting on though, that they had some magical way to store it down to a tiny filesize and pull out the data using relatively low amounts of processing power

>>60856253
Except that would never happen because that would increase food prices on the one hand and that would drastically reduce our GDP because a good portion of our economy is fueled by farming and those sorts of ventures, basically turning most of the US and yes it's cities too in to Somalia-tier towns. Then again why would a fucking leftist understand economics.

In about 2010 I saw some promotional video to hype up a "new way to code". It was a universal IDE / SDK where you basically described what you wanted in their syntax and it would translate that into various languages and handle the programmatic specifics. They showed off some demos of 3D renderings and basic functional games and stuff. I cant find anything about it now.

I assume it got canned because that sort of project would be monstrously difficult

I've had dreams about code once or twice when working on an assignment late or something and they were fucking horrible.

>>60853658
i worked with an aerospace engineer and he said this thing is amazing. i had him try to explain to me why. i think it has to do with the air more completely contacting the heatsink and also more completely being cycled through. like, in a traditional heatsink, there are many air-dead spots from turbulence and the like, so only a small portion of the heatsink is actually transferring heat to fresh incomng air and properly expelling it. i could have misinterpreted his explanation, but thats the best i can do right now

>>60856838

I don't think it's that incredible. It might be right for the right application, maybe. You can achieve a lot more from a heat sink using exotic materials for heat transfer. I have a theory that using high Reynolds (rough surface) copper and/or rippled fins would increase surface drag and therefore increase the heat transfer to the air. I also think liquid cooling and even submerged computing (mineral oil or propylene glycol iirc) is far superior in terms of BTU/dollar.

>>60856793

There absolutely are geniuses LOL. It's like you don't even know about people like Ramanujan. "Genius" is just a classification above some value of intelligence.

a regular heatsink with a fan on top will have a deadzone right in the middle, which sucks because that's exactly where the cpu is located.

>>60857539
Oh I absolutely agree. However if we're not speaking strictly engineering and theory, it's still good enough. Throttle limiting is primarily an issue in devices that are too thin and small to have the original metal fan above. Granted, if they have a solid breakthrough then all the more to them.

>bounces off and has turbulence

I actually think that's a good thing. as long as the air is being forced past the cooling fins, you want surface drag and a decent amount of turbulence. Otherwise a boundary layer would form (the "dead air" layer).

Bullshit. You can lead a camel to water but you can't make him drink.

I agree that most geniuses would have been unsuccessful if they were born into different conditions.

For example, Bach was born into a musical family and spent his childhood reading as much music as he could find, and studying with other great musicians. If he was born to rural farmers I doubt he would have achieved as much as he did.

The opposite is not true, though. If you shower wealth on someone they're actually less likely to turn out successful because wealth makes people lazy

Only really with laminar flow though, is the point. There are many ways to make turbulent flow designs, but the metal fan heat sink design has many drawbacks for potentially not that much efficiency increase.

Hell, it's probably not even worth the re tooling cost to make high roughness and/or non flat fins most applications.

I never could understand this meme on /g/.

Sit through a couple hours lectures and workshops about binary and you will dream in code also.

Shit is annoying.

Not only do I not believe it works, I would continue to believe it doesn't work until someone proved it both mathematically and in practice. There's no fucking way having the main point of contact between the aluminum heatsink and the CPU IHS be AIR is better than the traditional method.

that's why C is a fucking speed demon.

ace your math classes and learn an easy language like C#.

Dont listen to snarky faggots here. If youre se riou s aabout compsci, youll realize its mostly math when you go deeper.

Anon this was never feasible. I told /v/ so many times.
They've moved over to a domain where they don't have to animate anything, as predicted.
They haven't invented anything new.

Actually point clouds are quite OK for that. But it's not enough.

This is such a fucking meme - there are fuck all small projects floating around on github in racket, which is an indication no one is actually applying their racket / SICP knowledge at all.

Far better to learn a language that the guy can build small projects in to further his skills.

thanks this is a /g/ood thread

was wondering what happened to that... there must of been some caveat emporer in the maths or else it would be everywhere now with the need for cooling your asic miners and 120+ thread xeons....
