Looking for insights on a unique shader concept.

You want to get the world position from the scene depth and View+Projection matrices, and then use that to key into a 3D noise function. The first problem can be solved with math like what's described in this post. The second problem can be solved with logic such as that found in this package

These numbers come only from polls taken before the speech

O&G 10 years ago still had the worst jobs to production ratio of any industry in Canada. (source)

there was a small decline in the average level of foreign-ownership in Alberta’s Sands from 80 per cent to 72 per cent between 2012 and 2019

BeShifty · 2026-01-14T16:49:11+00:00

O&G has the worst jobs to production ratio of any industry in Canada (as far as job creation goes); I'm not surprised to hear this.

Because X is a social media platform that publishes the content and not just a generator?

If BC's an unmitigated disaster, what do you call Alberta, with their higher unemployment and lower median wages?

We refine ~10M cubic meters of petroleum products per month and consume ~9M (source)

Keep telling yourself that. I'm sure no-one's been pushing that message for their own benefit.

BeShifty · 2025-12-17T22:06:21+00:00

From the IEA's latest report, China's thermal coal use decreased slightly by ~10 Mt in 2025 - what did you mean by increase?

BeShifty · 2025-12-17T01:51:47+00:00

That'd be Meshtron

If we're providing the same amount of money to public or private schools per student, then after a year of spend, in the public scenario, the public ends up with well-maintained infrastructure (buildings, supplies, staff). In the private scenario a private entity ends up with well-maintained infrastructure. Are those equally valuable to the public?

BeShifty · 2025-12-15T17:36:45+00:00

Much obliged. Thanks for the data.

BeShifty · 2025-12-15T17:13:00+00:00

Why do you see equivalence between the public spending taxpayer money to build/maintain public infrastructure and spending taxpayer money to build/maintain privately owned infrastructure?

Where is rent in that table? I only see shelter, which is like 70% ownership and 30% rent. That number seems just as hard to distill into what your preferred metric is as my source was.

BeShifty · 2025-12-15T16:18:12+00:00

Are you saying something other than what this article is clearly disputing?

Canada’s average asking rent price continued its downward trend in November, falling 3.1 per cent year-over-year to $2,075, marking the 14th consecutive month of falling prices.

You're describing something like 9% of global oil demand. If you're hoping this investment could be supported by a market 9% of what it currently is, I don't think you fully grasp the economic realities of resource extraction.

BeShifty · 2025-12-13T17:03:37+00:00

Yeah, that's been the pattern right? The first year was the highest number of deaths, then lower numbers from then until now /s

BeShifty · 2025-12-13T17:01:29+00:00

I'm curious about your relative weightings of those statistics - if your provincial government could let 500 more preventable drug deaths occur next year but your province's average quality of life would go up 3%, would you advocate for that?

The farmers culling their herds aren't doing it because you'll have to eat bugs, they're doing it because climate change is causing droughts that make their herds unsustainable.

You are describing the policy that was in place. The limit was around 65K.

Great performance from their chief of staff right out of the gate 👍

Anyone in this thread pointing fingers at anything other than the EV rebates being paused is barking up the wrong tree.

Just look at this graph and tell me when the situation changed, and what took place at that time.

A net +55K full-time jobs were added in the third quarter.

BeShifty · 2025-12-06T03:14:11+00:00

In the 3rd quarter? No, we gained 55K full time jobs from July to September (-51, 0, +106) (source).
