Entropy is one of those formulas that many of us learn, swallow whole, and even use regularly without really understanding.

(E.g., where does that “log” come from? Are there other possible formulas?)

Yet there's an intuitive & almost inevitable way to arrive at this expression.

It’s still amazing to me how good early 2000’s graphics was

Compare this dynamic skinning method (graphics.stanford.edu/~djames/publ...) to some of the new neural alternatives.

Can we really say the new stuff is 20 years ahead ?

Maybe this will start a trend of CRT lookalikes that have a proper curved screen? What a neat project!

I won’t be at SIGGRAPH Asia this year, but if you will, make sure to check out my colleagues’ and advisor’s excellent paper:

It is the very first SIGGRAPH technical paper in history (!) to focus on simulating Black, Afro-texture hair, and it does a fantastic job.
