We ported pbrt-v4 to Julia and built it into a Makie backend. Any Makie plot can now be rendered with physically-based path tracing.
Runs on #AMD, #NVIDIA, and CPU via KernelAbstractions.jl, with #Metal coming soon.

We figured out flow matching over states that change dimension. With "Branching Flows", the model decides how big things must be! This works wherever flow matching works, with discrete, continuous, and manifold states. We think this will unlock some genuinely new capabilities.
Oh and as usual, these visualizations (which are, to us, key to understanding these processes) were made by @antonoresten.bsky.social in @makie.org (@simi.bsky.social).
I just released Raycore.jl - a high-performance ray tracing engine for Julia with CPU and GPU support!
It will power a new photorealistic rendering backend for Makie.jl, but we made it modular and flexible to support any other use case

Feel free to message me with any questions.
We tried to set up a simple demo/tutorial model for the protein design ecosystem we've been developing, and it turned out a bit more interesting than we expected. 🧵
This was a team effort from a few people in my lab, including @antonoresten.bsky.social and others (not sure who is on this app)
WaterLily 1.4 is out! github.com/WaterLily-jl...
Biggest updates to our pure @julialang.org flow solver since 1.3:
1. Ability to add explicit turbulence modelling
2. Easier flow visualization with @makie.org
3. Even faster CPU performance
CUDA.jl 5.8 adds broadcasting for CuSparseVector, support for CUDA 12.9, and key library updates—making it easier to write efficient, element-wise #GPU operations in Julia without sacrificing clarity or #performance. juliagpu.org/post/2025-05... #JuliaLang #CUDA #GPUcomputing #programming
My lab, at Karolinska, in Stockholm, is looking for a PhD student with a computational/quantitative background to work on probabilistic/generative models of proteins (structure and sequence). The research will involve methods development, and applications in vaccine design.

Wenn es nach CDU/CSU geht, sollen in Deutschland bald Atomkraftwerke und Fusionsreaktoren Strom liefern. Aber wie realistisch ist das? Ein Blick zu den jüngsten nuklearen Projekten zeigt: Atomstrom ist unberechenbar – bei den Kosten und Bauzeiten.
