Why is shader optimization so addictive? I have other things to do...
But it's 2AM, I'm thoroughly caffeinated, and staring at the Radeon GPU profiler reordering SSBO memory transactions for improved coalescing.
And successfully shaved about 1.7 ms off the first shader in the PAM4 edge detector (4.71 -> 2.98 ms, a 58% speedup). The overall filter went from 11.22 to 8.8 ms, a 27.5% speedup.
There's definitely still more room to tune, too.

“Jews are execrable insects with parasite-hijacked brains.”

To conflate antizionism with antisemitism is, itself, antisemitic.
Zionism is fascism.
Antizionism is antifascism.

“I’d let them know that I’ve got kids, that I’ve got loved ones counting on me,” Carter said. “I want them to know I don’t want a get-out-of-jail-free card, that I’ve got accountability.”
Carter has no way to plead his case, though, because Maine abolished parole in 1976.
Lifers like Carter will die in prison, absent an extraordinary reprieve, like clemency from the governor.
That might change soon.
Some state lawmakers have been seeking to restore parole and an elec…

The United States Constitution puts control over elections in the hands of the states
and grants Congress the ability to pass federal election legislation.
It gives no explicit authority to the executive branch.
But in early February, Trump said he wanted the Republican-led federal government to “nationalize” or “take over” the running of elections.
“A state is an agent for the federal government in elections,” he said.
Trump had already, in March 2025, signed…
I make electronics stuff but I definitely don't know everything. If I build something with a battery I try to include a power switch, which controls power...

Is it a sleep mode where a very small bit of power is always present and the button wakes it into a full-power mode?

A part of the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Greenland and Iceland, has been cooling off while the rest of the world gets hotter.
This enigmatic patch is often referred to as the "cold blob" and scientists have been trying to figure out the mechanisms behind its cooling.
While some studies have blamed increased heat loss at the sea surface,
others suggest weaker currents are bringing less heat to the area.
Now, a new study, published in Geophysical Research…
