I think the major downside is the world is immutable. For the search algorithm to run in short enough times to render in real time the point cloud needs to be organised very carefully.

Part of the point cloud needs to move for animation, which involves re-indexing at least part of the world. Doing this once per frame is probably far too expensive (at least currently), which is why animation doesn't feature in their videos.

That doesn't mean this technology should be dismissed; most world data in 3D scene graphs is static, so it does have applications. I don't see it overtaking rasterised graphics entirely, but I think there is value in it.

I'm not an expert either, so take my comment with a healthy bucket of salt.
I like how confusing it can be to read about simple.
Or rather, how complex a subject it is to discuss :)
By definition simple is made of a single element (from latin simplex).
There are quotes coming to my mind, like 'less is more', 'perfection is when there is noting left to be removed'.
It's a lot about mental model: to be able to manage a project one has to be able to keep it all in one's head, thus simplifying is mastering chaos
It often is multi-layer though.
It's a loss less mental model compression
An example that I have in mind is monotheism evolving from other older models, it's simple in a sense, and also more portable across different cultures, but it's deep (no proselytism intended).
PS: cannot find where 'simplex' comes from :(
The big downside is that you have no idea ahead of time what parts end up on screen and which parts don't. With a voxel engine you create a giant tree that allows you to do a quick logarithmic lookup to a voxel for every pixel on the screen (more or less). Suppose you're standing on a hill and look down on the valley below. If the terrain and world below is created by artists and contains many unique objects then you end up with a voxel tree that's terabytes large. You can't keep it in memory, so performance will be awful. The only way (afaik) to keep the memory usage in check is to force reuse everywhere. So you then create ultra high resolution models of 100 different bricks and mortar. The artist then composes those "lego pieces" into different buildings. That would work, but then everything is going to look very repetitive again (which brings us back to square one).

Then of course there are the problems with lighting, animation and so on.
Anatomy of a CRUTEM3 bug
Interesting article. Judging by Dell's (the CEO) calm attitude towards "haters", I personally believe that he truly has something revolutionary to offer.

Are you using the news.arc script that HN itself is using? I wonder, how easy was it to install? I can't find much info online about it... what database does it use?
No. Google's initial reaction (long, long ago) to competitors who literally sold placement in SERPs was to not do that, and not have ads at all, and promote this widely.

Later when they got ads and "sponsored results", which they had to do of course because at some point you've got to make money somehow, they were very very careful to distance their ads from search results, because after all they'd just been promoting themselves as "not selling their search results" and of course "Don't be Evil" (which they dropped by now right).

And ever since, their ads have been creeping closer and more visually similar to their search results, right up to the point where, as the OP mentions, some of these ads look exactly like search results, except highlighted. Sure they are marked as "sponsored result" in very tiny light-grey letters but so were some of their search-result selling competitors back in the day.

So yeah no sorry, I fully understand this is the way corporations inevitably go as they get big and successful, but as far as I see it, Google has been distancing itself from this "evil" behaviour at first, and then, after competition was crippled, slowly crept back to--well not the worst examples of this behaviour, but it's still bad enough that if Google had been selling "sponsored search results" in this fashion right from the start, nobody would have bought their bullshit about "we don't sell our search results".

What they're currently doing is only marginally better than silently hiding sponsored links within the search results, as from every approach they're going through lengths to make this ad look exactly like a search result, except they highlight it and tiny letters say it's an ad (the 8px kind that UX blogs will tell you a lot of people have trouble reading).

I even just noticed they gave their "top search result ad" exactly the same ">> Preview" button on mouseover as any other search result! Sorry but there's no question that what Google is technically doing right now, is selling their top number 1 highlighted "search result", misleading people to look exactly like a search result, except in a token-attempt at "honesty" it is marked as an ad, except you know as well as I do that the less computer-savvy people don't even notice that, and just click it if it seems to answer their question, without realizing it is an ad. Just as if it was a search result.

I mean, hey I think it's bullshit, sure they're allowed to do this, but let's not pretend Google is not selling (top) placement in their search results, and that this top ad is not desperately trying to look and behave exactly like a search result in a deliberately misleading way. They are no longer any better than the competitors whose ad model they were so against back in their early days.
This is so awesome!!! I love it! My apologies to the community for little substance here, but having a choice between just AT&T & Verizon would be terrible for us consumers long-term. My sister's BF just got a T-Mobile phone and I was just explaining tonight how I hoped this would not go through.

What I don't like with "Unlimited Details" is that Dell refuses to say what the engine can't do yet. We know it's a work in progress. We (the internet) are excited about it because it's an experiment that's on scale with what we could expect from that branch of 3D graphics technology. Trillions of atoms, whatever. Show us what's still in progress because the internet is skeptical about this, this and this.

Hacking reflexion by duplicating the scene is a good way to start, because no one can say whether it's a good or a bad solution to a non-trivial problem - it gets the job done for now - but can you have multiple coexisting versions of the world? like a vertical mirror, a horizontal body of water and an underwater section?

To Dell: just stop handwaving the questions already, we get it that you ignored the state of the art and built your own thing, just tell us what it can't do yet, show us your current progress and you'll be met with much less skepticism, and even help, even if you keep your trade secrets, at least show us your specs! You won't be struck down by lightning if you talk - no one ever died from reinventing/copying the wheel and making it so good that the wheel can fly.
The reason why Wikipedia has these pages is because people push fringe science theories, jingoist distortions of history, and inflated product claims if you do not.

Even so, Wikipedia is effectively used to promote just these things. For example, the editor FT2 got promoted to ArbCom while underming efforts to eliminate pseudoscience. His philsophy he summed up "Writing for an encyclopedia is not the same as writing for an academic paper. It's more like writing the bibliography for an academic paper. We aren't trying to decide what is "true" and what isn't. To be honest, we don't care what "the truth" is, in that sense, because it's not what an encyclopedia is. An encyclopedia is a collation of multiple perspectives and views. It's more like the bibliography of a paper (listing all kinds of sources so long as they bear on the topic) than the paper and its conclusion itself. Every view of note is in there, represented neutrally. Theres no decision to make, few opinions to form, other than to observe which views seem to be more or less common views of note, and to understand each (and its sources) well enough to document. We care that we document each view fully and with understanding. That is the "truth" we work to here. "

If making WP more unfriendly would combat this kind of anti-scientific bullshit, I would be in favour of it. I don't, though.

> No. Only if Google included barely distinguishable paid placements in their organic results would it be a fair comparison.

Well that is what they are.

The only distinction is the 8px letters that say "Why this ad?" which are hard to read and widely ignored.

> I'll concede that some minority of users might not be able to distinguish paid results from organic on Google, but no one could do it with these "blended" ads -- that's why he's getting such a high CTR. Users are being tricked.

Let's call it the majority of users except for programmers hackers and other computer-savvy folk, and I'd say you got it about right.

Have you ever seen a kid use Google? An elderly person? Your parents? Shoulder-surf a random non-coder in a coffeeshop or a library? These are the kind of people that type "google" into the browser search box to go to google. I work with 8-12y kids that come specifically to learn about websites and computers, and among those already savvy interested kids there's only about half of them that understands what the difference is between a paid ad on Google and a search result. They'll just click it if it appears to lead them to whatever they were looking for.

I agree that these ads are "blended" way more than Google's paid highlighted top search results/ads, more deceiving, but it really is the same thing. The "blended" ad also clearly mentions in a very tiny font that it's a sponsored result.

I would also think the only way that we're able to more easily recognize the Google paid highlighted top search result/ad is because we use Google every day, we expect it's there, and from previous usage we know that search results that look a bit different are probably sponsored. The "busyteacher" website is only different in the sense that its users have no known expectations about the site because they only use it rarely.
I didn't think UK CAs have to have a degree in accounting, I'm also pretty sure that you can become a CEng without an engineering degree, it's just very difficult.

I know that in law in Scotland you need two academic qualifications (a law degree, and a postgrad diploma in legal practise) then two years training before you qualify as a solicitor. However, if you want to go to the bar you only need a law degree - but then you have to do a specialised training course and then devil for a year before you can be called.

I spent years in that particular sausage factory. They even let me work some of the levers not everyone gets to work. My time there didn't work out well in the long run. Sorry, but it's pretty ugly and political in there.
There was a site called Nowmov (backed by Ashton Kutcher) that did something very similar, but took videos from twitter as ones to show. It's been shut down after a number of improvements, it is now called nowbox - a set top box and tv guide of youtube channels, apparently.

You could let people sign-in with youtube, grab their likes, favourites and subscriptions - analyze the tags of those videos and try and tailor videos around those. YT already has a recommendations tab so you'd be playing second fiddle to that.

But if the resolution of your grid is smaller than the size of the voxel, that wouldn't matter much - and you could keep rounding errors in check by anchoring larger units of voxels at a certain location in space. I can see the drawbacks of the voxel cloud approach (requires much memory, what algorithm is fast enough to do voxel culling on such a massive amount of data, what about animation) but the 'can't do rotation' doesn't seem like a particularly strong argument (unless I'm misunderstanding the actual argument, which is very well possible...)

Interesting use of the words ‘us’ / ‘we’ here: ‘We can create crappy articles about not notable subjects ourselves, thank you.’ Who are the ‘we’ you speak of? It seems you speak of the group of people that is already used to writing wikipedia articles, and you are in this way enforcing a divide between them and potential contributors. Shouldn’t the ‘we’ who wrote Wikipedia be all of us? Should that not be the starting point?
I wouldn't consider somebody an idiot if they misunderstood the word as astronomy. That seems like the kind of mistake normal people might make occasionally.

After reading through the source code, I'm no closer to figuring out how this is different to plugging functions, classes or external libraries together.

Can someone describe what makes this library different to a standard utility library?
Rotatin (in general - transforming) voxels in real time is difficult compared to polygons, because with polygons you only transform vertices, and in voxels you have to transform every voxel.

EDIT:
If you are spekaing about preprocessing data - yes - you can rotate as much as you want, the only problem will be that object instanced 1000 times with different orientation/scale will take 1000 times more memory than object instanced 1000 times with the same orientation/scale. With polygons there is no difference.
The way the author posted the picture (used in a much earlier Euclideon article talking about how badly polygon engines render complex organic shapes) of a polygon tree and a PHOTOGRAPH of a real tree and passed it off as the Unlimited Detail Engine makes me question his bias.

The way he used "Kuda" when talking about CUDA makes me question his technical competency.

Until there's a demo I can download and run on my PC it's a load of baseless claims as far as I'm concerned.
Yuck. Sorry, but this is worse than dicts or namedtuples in every way.
Steve Jobs had over 6 billion dollars. When he got sick he went to Switzerland for care.

US health care is not "much higher quality" than Europe regardless of income. That's a Fox News myth. Like anything, it's not black-and-white. US health care has some things that are very good, but for most everything they are no better (and often worse) than any other first world country. What we can say is that they're much more expensive than anyone else.

How so? His claims that "We could call notch out and prove that he's a total incompetent in a bunch of areas but we want to be nice to him" manages to deeply insult notch without actually making any technical claims that could be disproven by a third party. It's a total weasel move.

Ok sure if Google is now supposed to be the equivalent of an ad-stuffed trade magazine or a coupon book then yeah, I can't disagree.

To bad though, remember when it used to be a pretty good Search Engine?

Seriously, if that's what Google wants to be, or apparently is, then that's fine I'll just not go there anymore since 99% of the time I'm looking for information, you know, researching things on the Internet, not trade magazine ads or coupons.

(actually personally it's not the ads but the fact that their real search results have been increasingly inaccurate over the past few months, that I'm actually starting to use other SEs like DuckDuckGo and Yandex as my first choice, more often. That DDG doesn't have sponsored results and makes user privacy a priority is a nice bonus)

Startup Advice: Cherish Your "Thank You" Notes
Is something like "GPUs used to be fighting one another for more power, memory, and so forth, but now they have their languages like _Kuda_" (Page 6) just a random typo or a reason to believe that someone didn't do his homework before typing this down?

I'd love to see this released, but the article was far too positive and the tone read too much like marketing to me. Some careful, not too aggressive words at the introduction and blessing after blessing afterwards, sprinkled with the seemingly unbiased author's impression and description of a very nice and professional guy. Mhhhh...

Edit: Just saw that user 'Causification' already said something similar, albeit with a good amount of more emotion. Still, I'm going to keep this here as a personal impression of someone that has no clue about graphic engines in general, i.e. my layman's reaction after reading the article.
