@mattpharr Not sure if an error but the name of the "A Brief History of Physically Based; Rendering" section is either a typo or a very heterodox typographic convention.

@pervognsen thanks! It's a mis-parsing of a TeX macro by the HTML generator, so it's some of each in a way... Will fix!

@mattpharr I wonder if this table column entry might be a bug?
Show threadMatt PharrNov 2, 2023
@kach good eye! In the source, that part is "\mono{float} operations per cycle \& thread" and guess whose hacky TeX parser doesn't handle escaped "&"s when parsing tables? Will fix. Thanks!

@mattpharr Is this correct? I thought it's "1 / cos^2(theta)"
