I keep hearing Trump and Republicans say rising health care costs isn’t an urgent problem, but take a look at the price increases on the ACA exchange for the same insurance plans from 2025 to 2026. Millions of Americans are about to get screwed over with higher bills.

Ray marching is a common approach to GPU-accelerated volume rendering, but gives biased transmittance estimates. My new #SIGGRAPHAsia paper (+code) proposes an amazingly simple formula to eliminate this bias almost completely without using more samples.

I am asking myself if America is really the only place where many “white” citizens only want a version of “democracy” like the one of the Jim Crow South, “where they sat atop the pyramid, otherwise, they’ll exchange democracy for autocracy in a flash.”
The thought is as chilling as it is relevant.
