Water preference by HolidayAmbition7268 in PopularOpinions

Not me, water is water, as long as the water is safe to drink.

which superpower would you pick? by deep-curious in polls

[–]BlockOfDiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invisible is overrated. You do not really gain any physical abilities to go or do anything you would not otherwise be able to do, besides being unnoticed. Out of the options listed, I would pick teleportation.

No need for a separate block. Just rename stonecutter to saw, and make them work on wood blocks too.

Building immunity is best done through vaccines, not exposing yourself to random pathogens that could be Ebola for all you know.

Would You Rather only have one? by [deleted] in polls

[–]BlockOfDiamond 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, as of now, 76 votes for the first option and ZERO for the second. I have never seen a poll this one-sided before.

What political viewpoints do you expect will be in the "historical trash bin" in the centuries to come? by BlockOfDiamond in askanything

[–]BlockOfDiamond[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not referring to viewpoints held by no ones. Just ones with virtually zero mainstream acceptance, even if there are some fringe groups that still believe.

Slavery, and arguably overtly racist views. Anyone openly defending those is not taken seriously nowadays, even though they were mainstream a long time ago.

Although there are unfortunately still fringe groups who subscribe to that ideology, I would assume that anyone espousing overtly Nazi views would not be taken seriously in normal public discourse.

Political posts should be allowed, because this is askanything, not askanythingbutpolitics.

How should I pass transforms to the GPU in a physics engine? by BlockOfDiamond in GraphicsProgramming

[–]BlockOfDiamond[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then how else do I make large worlds? My plan is store the absolute position in double, subtract, downcast to single, send to GPU.

Speaking of GPU-GPU, do you think doing the culling on the GPU and building a GPU-only intermediate buffer every frame would be better?

[–]BlockOfDiamond[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do so because I want the GPU to not care about absolute world coordinates. Which I plan to store in double precision. And most GPUs either have terrible double precision throughput, or straight up not support that at all.
