Thanks for sharing! I had come across similar kinds of issues on my annual LeetCode prep and this very clear articulation is very helpful. Props to the author for making this so easy to visualize.

Impressive. Feel like finding issues like this in such a large project is like looking for a needle in a haystack

I made my own distributed render orchestrator that supports Cycles + custom plugins. It uses Modal’s cloud compute APIs to spawn jobs on up to 20x containers with an L40S GPU (like 80% as fast as a 4090 with tons more VRAM) each. It ain’t c

Seattle is an interesting area, so many different pockets. I moved to Seattle in 2016 from Southern California, could never shake the depression. Moved to Cupertino in Jan and am as happy as a (very busy) clam.

As a teenager I played so much KSP that my grades suffered, played KSP2 a few days ago & did a moon landing, the game has a long way to go but the experience wasn’t nearly as bad as the reviews suggested.

Storing individual frames in S3??? Insanity! Their initial distributed architecture is unbelievable.

This is why I always turn off Bluetooth when watching porn, otherwise my phone auto-connects to my wife’s Mini Cooper when she drives into the garage. DAMN YOU AUTO-CONNECT!!

This is the kind of anecdote that I used to hear about smoking weed. Tripping can be abused as a means of escape like many other things (work etc), but over-use without a proper cool-off/reintegration period can definitely throw one of
