The trend of the past 20 years of software has been a race to the bottom, AI is just propelling the next wave. Electron apps, NEXT.js, many SEs don't even know how to properly profile.

Software with just a bit of genuine craftsmanship will handily beat unmaintainable AI nightmare code.

Rewrote everything to not use the vulkano crate, but do direct Vulkan calls with the ash wrapper. 900 lines later...

Learning so much 😀

Progress on a motion smoothing algorithm 😄. Given a set of positions, reconstruct motion with believable acceleration. This is so we can take mocap data, and be able to generate believable measurements in between the captured frames.
