Project mention: Idk if anyone's done a one-handed hitless run of the game or anything crazy like that, and this is 100% not that (i get hit A LOT on these runs) but Im still pretty proud of this. | /r/shittydarksouls | 2023-12-10
The emulator: https://rpcs3.net/ The rom: https://vimm.net/vault/24833 I forget if you need anything else but finding a video on YouTube is not very hard for rpcs3, a bit complicated, sorry I can't remember how to do it all, it's been a while.

bgfx
Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
I previously integrated bgfx [1], which allows you to write graphics code and shaders once and supports consoles, with SDL2 stack and Swift [2]. It was quite a nice experience, especially for someone who had never worked with any of these tools before. I'm excited for SDL3 as it introduces console abstractions, eliminating the need for additional dependencies for the GPU API, especially for someone who casually experiments with graphics. Moreover, Godot officially supports the Steam Deck, and hopefully, more consoles will be supported in the future. On a related note, Miguel de Icaza is advocating for Swift adoption in Godot, and he is working on porting the editor to SwiftUI on iPad, which is quite interesting to see the progress [3].

Not only did I understand what libraries like glm do under the hood, but it also gave me an appreciation for these kinds of libraries and just the general math of it all. Getting deeper (that's what she said) into the maths and really understanding what makes a projection matrix work the way it works was really fascinating and incredible. If I told my 15-year-old self that I would be making a math library from scratch... well, first, I would ask what the hell a math library is and then probably be amazed. I would also punch my 15-year-old self because he was a fucking moron.

A quick note about Xenia Xenia is a research emulator for the Xbox 360 platform, enabling games originally developed for this console to run on modern PCs. The development community actively contributes to this open-source project. As mentioned above, I analyzed the project using the PVS-Studio static analyzer. The checked code matches the 3d30b2e commit.

Project mention: Google's First Tensor Processing Unit: Architecture | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-31
Vulcan is a driver-level API. It competes with DirectX and OpenGL.
CUDA is a language you write kernels. It competes with OpenAI's Triton language.
Here's what CUDA looks like: https://github.com/tspeterkim/flash-attention-minimal/blob/m...
This is what Triton looks like: https://triton-lang.org/main/getting-started/tutorials/06-fu...
By contrast Vulcan looks like this: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples/blob/main/sam...
(It's true to some extent that maybe you could use Vulcan shaders to write deep learning kernels, maybe? I'm not aware of anyone doing it though)

Project mention: Jagged edges on everything, regardless of AA settings | /r/EliteDangerous | 2023-12-11
If you are interested in making it look even better, then installing ReShade and adding FSAA there also makes a huge improvement over the best settings in game.

Project mention: Khronos Group adopts the Slang shading language | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-02
https://github.com/shader-slang/slang
It's kind of both. It can generate High level shaders as well as SPIRV, according to the doc.
I interpret this announcement as more about the governance of the open source project than brand new anything. The project has been around for years and there are even some SIGGRAPH papers in this thing.
