Bought a pocket microscope and took a photo of my iPhone 12 Pro. Look at the subpixel structure.

You can always count on the NYT for the best visualization.

I'll be talking about the RTNN paper at PPoPP tomorrow. RTNN uses the #raytracing hardware on Nvidia GPUs to accelerate neighbor search in low-dimensional space. Code: github.com/horizon-resear…. Paper: cs.rochester.edu/horizon/pubs/p…. Tune in if you are attending HPCA /CGO/PPoPP.

Take a look at the CMYK halftoning of the Communications of the ACM cover page. Whichever printer prints it uses the 45/75/90/105 pattern, which I guess is becoming the standard pattern these days. Can you guess which part of the cover page is under the microscope here?

I think I've found the killer app for the M1 chip: continuous LaTex compilation. I used texpad for an hour and the battery dropped by 70%.

This is too funny 😂 I know what jokes to tell in class next semester.

This is incredible. See how Nightingale visualized data, in 1856!! scientificamerican.com/article/how-fl…

The human visual system, down to the photoreceptors in our eyes, may be the key to efficient visual computation. sigarch.org/wetware-in-the…

20 lines of shader can save 20% of VR display power! Check out our upcoming SIGGRAPH Asia paper on leveraging human color perception for display energy reduction. immersivecomputinglab.org/publication/co… Kudos to my students' leading Monde Duinkharjav Kenny Chen, and a great collaboration with Yuhao Zhu

I always thought the reason Archimedes couldn't have burned Roman ships using a mirror is because of spherical aberration, but just realized that there is an even simpler answer -- the ships would have to be at the focal point of the mirror! unmuseum.org/burning_mirror…

Have peopled tried ChatGPT for high-level synthesis? I gave it a limited try and the results are alright. Training LLM for HLS has got to be a thing?

I was on my keens and crying. Unbelievable.
