Am I the only one who is ALSO shocked by the diagnosis, that microdosing is supposed to cause bleeding around the kidneys? Quick research shows there's no way that psilocybin could cause this especially when microdosing... This makes i

One observation: If you're often waking up around 3am, it is a strong indicator for histamine/MCAS issues. This is fairly new research, so most people dont know about it, I haven't had a single doctor yet who was familiar wit

well I've been reaching 100% of c Speed Most of the time which feels like an easy effort... I guess it depends on the problem a bit and how used you're to writing optimized, clean Julia code

We are working on surface support in Makie to some degree: https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/5516 If we get funding, we may also support stuff like NURBS. Obviously, once that gets merged, we do want

To be fair I was suprised too. But I made a relatively simple straight port from the AMD rays sdk plus some input from the pbrt-v4 CPU bvh code and it just worked relatively well out of the box... This is the main intersection function whic

It's definitely an architectural problem as well. I do wonder if we could extend that though, without too much trouble for the general architecture - after all, the material does not necessarily need to represent all the outside materi

Well I'm a bit of an AMD "fanboy" and really dislike NVIDIA's vendor lock in. I'm not sure what you mean by dynamic dispatch across GPU backends - nothing should be dynamic there and most easier primitives map quite

I've done lots of manually refactoring of the initial Prototype in Trace.jl (by Anton Smirnov, who I think ported an earlier version of the pbrt book). This helped familiarizing myself with the math and infrastructure and the general p

Ah sorry :D

What prediction? Maybe I need to rephrase what I said: My prediction is, that if Julia ever wants to have a shot at replacing Python, it absolutely has to solve the first time to first x problem! That's what I mean by shipping fully ah

lol. There's not much to fight since its a very personal problem how you want to write code. It's evident that all the capable programmers in the Julia community, have found satisfactory ways to get around it, so if you haven&#x27

Sorry, I was on my phone. This doesn't seem to be a problem of the description language, but rather how the integrator and materials work internally, so this works the same way in Julia currently. I do think though, that its more appro

I think the hype has slowed down, but all growth statistics haven't. Personally, I think Julia is the only language where I can implement something like Makie without running into a maintenance nightmare, and with Julia GPU programming

well, I do hate vendor lock in with a passion ;) But yeah, a lot did happen, this likely wouldn't have been possible one or two years ago!

Ugh, yeah I had some super weird bugs like this in safari, still haven't found the source :(

Nope, we made a complete high level Julia interface and I plan to have the Makie API be the main user facing scene description, which can be more descriptive than pbrt I think!

I'm excited to announce Raycore.jl, a high-performance ray-triangle intersection engine with BVH acceleration for both CPU and GPU execution in Julia. Raycore will power a new raytracing backend for Makie, bringing photorealistic rende

Bonito has been on a journey from being a pretty neglected prototype to something offering similar functionality to established libraries like Shiny/Dash/Streamlit. Read more in the blogpost :)

Apple is a very aggressive and ruthless company... Just look at their lobby activities, how they go against the right to repair and how they generally try to ruthlessly lock you into their ecosystem... So this seems to be pretty much on cha

If this wasn't their bread and butter and not an example they picked themselves, it would indeed not be fair... But they chose this example specifically and said this is how you get state of the art performance with Mojo, so...

This is using BenchmarkTools which does most of these things ;) And the numbers are very nicely reproducable. But yes, those benchmarks are hard to compare, especially if they dont run on the same machine! But, there is absolutely no reason
