In other news, I still hate Oracle. I inherited dozens of ETL packages that read like a Byzantine wet dream. And every tech support article reads like a master class of condescension. Our "common data environment" or "CDE" (had to look up THAT acronym yesterday) is slow as molasses.

But yes, tell me more about how it's the "gold standard" or some other bullshit.

(Will any of my colleagues see this before it auto deletes? We'll find out!)

Finalmente mergulhei no universo de Stranger Things: Tales from '85. A nostalgia é bem clichêzinha, e a estética... bem, é quase alquimia pura pros olhos. ✨
​Meu refúgio aqui no quarto já tá no clima total. Alguém mais embarcou nessa jornada por Hawkins? O que vocês têm assistido que tá valendo cada minuto? Mandem as recomendações, adoraria trocar figurinhas com vocês! 🎮📺 #strangerthings #Geek #GamingSetup #RetroVibes #Netflix #Streaming #Cottagecore #NerdLife

Are you someone who is intensely curious about the universe? This design is for the lifelong learners, the science nerds, and the stargazers who find beauty in the details of a neuron, the vastness of a galaxy, and the precision of a telescope.

Whether you are obsessed with astronomy, biology, or the deep mysteries of philosophy, this hand-lettered illustration captures that "need to know" energy. It’s perfect for STEM students, teachers, or anyone with a dark academia aesthetic who loves vintage scientific sketches and space exploration. From rocket ships to anatomical skulls, every icon represents a different path of intellectual discovery. Stay curious, stay bold, and keep exploring the unknown. 🚀✨

That was definitely one of the coolest experiments I’ve ever done!

Just before Christmas 2024, a VRAM block on my GTX 780 in my old PC (Core i5-650 / 8 GB RAM) gave out. You could see it in the typical screen artifacts, and GPU-Z also showed a broken reading. (Image 2)

I ran MATS on the card and managed to identify the defective memory (unfortunately no photo). During my research, I discovered that Nvidia uses six memory banks of 512 MB each. I also came across the tool Old NVIDIA artifacts, which is designed for Kepler GPUs. With it, I was able to modify the BIOS to disable the defective memory bank.

After flashing with NV-Flash, I ran MATS again, and the test completed successfully (Image 3). On the desktop, no artifacts were visible anymore, and GPU-Z was back to normal, except the card now shows 2.5 GB instead of 3 GB of VRAM (Image 4).

Since support for the 470 driver is ending, the card no longer initializes properly without boot parameters, and it was heavily damaged anyway, I replaced it with a used RX 570 with 4 GB VRAM for 40 €. The GTX 780 is now peacefully sleeping in its box, and maybe one day it will be awakened again (Image 1).

Analytic Fog Rendering With Volumetric Primitives

In this post I’m going to cover a neat technique for rendering regions of fog with varying density. I’ll start by covering some of the basic principles behind fog rendering and a few co…

When you have PTSD, one of the most important things you can do is not let hypervigilance become your personality.
