Many programmers consider Vulkan to be overly complex–maybe not even worth engaging with as an #indiedev. It’s easy to see why people feel this way.
If this is how you Vulkan, or modern graphics APIs in general, the goal of this talk is to change your mind.

I’ve been doing pipeline on Linux for years and wonder if anyone from #gamedev would be interested in talk about advantages/cool things that make developing pipeline on Linux easier/faster/more scalable compared to Windows?

flashback to me pointing out the ultimate irony of visual effects getting so good that our successes are used as evidence that "CGI sucks"
![just an absolutely perfect example of how the success of plausibility and believability of modern digital effects is used by bozos as evidence that "CGI sucks"
[the suit in the "Iron Man" (2008) shot they're referring to is computer graphics]
Referring to a bozo post that has a shot from IRON MAN “causal reminder that this armor was a real prop and is incredibly convincing and it is over 14 years old*”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hyx4bt54zwklitosbhlqo5wq/bafkreiafqdltugl4ih5onwfelqdo6ilwncc5s6jwv3secipnoruqadqswe@jpeg)

unicode braille characters are 2x4 rectangles of dots where you can arbitrarily set any of the dots. That's 8x the pixels you normally get in the terminal!
anyway here's a proof of concept terminal SVG renderer using unicode braille:

Something cool I learn recently while working on some USD related stuff. GfMatrix4d stores it's vals as 4d array in C++ but one of methods allows to get flat array but this method is not exposed in Python. Turns out binding use buffer protocol which allows peculiar things.

🌶️ Hot take: ML-based graphics makes some graphics researchers unhappy for the same reason diffusion models make artists unhappy.
Both automate the interesting and beautiful parts of the work and both deskill the worker. Both result in questionable quality and both are being adopted regardless.

The best quote I’ve heard about AI was a half-joke by a coworker: “is there anything that classical techniques can do that AI can’t pretend to do better?” Sometimes pretending is good enough and sometimes it’s really not! That seems largely lost in the pro/anti AI discourse.

Shipbreaker is about the place of labor in our society. I think it's important to make media that examine that, and possibly imagines a better future.
Plus, blowing stuff up might be cathartic for all of us....
