Just kind of wandering the internet. Into art, music, coding, and generalized nonsense.

Finished revamping my rasterization course! sibaku.github.io/site/rasteri...
Learn how to implement a complete rasterizer (what your GPU does) yourself in a browser! We start with pixels and end in 3D with textures and lighting. You can solve each step yourself in an integrated editor! #gpu #math

It is sometime past midnight in 1995. You are somewhere new, in a room with unfamiliar sounds and a darkness that isn't quite complete. Unable to sleep, you turn on the tv. The house has satellite tv, a new experience. In the 800s, you find endless music. It's a fine day is playing by Opus III.

I've come to believe that purpose is not "found". That being driven toward is not something we stumble into. Purpose is derived through equations of actions taken and received. Though some may feel as if they found purpose, I think it is arrived at through years of decisions resolving into pursuit.

I hate attention-based algorithms. I hate that every glance is recorded in some ledger. I hate that hate and interest are weighed with the same scale. I hate how every online interaction becomes tainted by the marketing machine. I hate the nearly imperceptible pressure on the tiller in every feed.

The fun thing about these "AI" BS things is it makes more sense not to make them great. If they're too good, people get efficient answers. Better to be kinda crappy and cause "customers" to waste tokens.

AI is kind of the logical next step for SaaS. Every software program either needs it or is replaced by it, and every interaction is a micro transaction.

Having racist / sexist family means occasionally interacting with kids steeped in those beliefs. They're just a kid but I already want nothing to do with them. But you do your best trying to at least demonstrate outside perspectives. While they get further and further rooted in their prejudice.
