brb trying to convince every graphics paper author to use the same taxonomy for implicit functions

Figure from a graphics paper, showing a range of implicit functions.  The caption reads

Figure 5: For a given boundary there is a uniquely defined
exact SDF that is eikonal and satisfies the distance property,
but there are many ways in which the conditions can be
violated to different degrees. Pseudo-SDFs are functions that
satisfy the eikonal property almost everywhere, but not the
distance property (Equation 1). Conservative SDFs are not
eikonal nor do they satisfy the distance property, but the
function values are bounded by the actual distances. Implicit
functions are generic level set functions that do not have any
guarantees.

p5.js 2.0 is released! This now includes a way to make shader art just using JavaScript using this new thing called p5.strands! davepagurek.com/blog/writing-s

2025-04-01

p5 2.0 will launch soon and will include a way to write shaders with the JS you're used to rather than having to learn GLSL! Luke, who wrote the feature, is making a tutorial where you can make this without writing a line of GLSL:

Amtrack has no fucks left to give.

Edit: No it’s not actually an official amtrack account, it was comedy. This post is a year and a half old, stop showing your ignorance in the replies.

So do people realize that we aren't building new train
tracks when we expand the amteak network, I have
multiple times seen people say that we shouldn't expand the network because it would destroy protected lands,which would be a fair criticism but Amtrak doesn't build new tracks, we use existing tracks. We are not destroying protected lands, we are using land that has already been clear for a century

Also the is more highways which destroy
significantly more land for less capacity than railways. So the question is do you want to keep complaining about something that isn't happening and let the environment get damaged as a result or do you want to actually learn how things work

Reply by catboymothman

So, wait... Were the tracks not in use at all? Or was it like
*only* commercial transport on those tracks? Either way,
its good that amtrak will be able to use them again, but
one would be much more frustrating

amtrak-official
Almost all rail tracks in the US are either abandoned or
only used for freight rail at the moment

mudkipspropaganda
Jesus, we really have no excuse for having such a
lackluster rail system, do we?

amtrak-official
Sure we do! The US government hate both rail and you
personally
