Teaching GPU programming in p5.js: now with compute shaders - Dave Pagurek

I've been working on adding compute shaders to p5, and an initial version will be released in the next p5 version! So I took some time to talk about the wider vision around teaching GPU programming in today's exciting but complicated world. www.davepagurek.com/blog/p5-comp...

Toronto is max Sesame Street this morning. 17C & every sidewalk park tennis court rail path pitch bench dog park court is jammed. City at peak utopia. Get out there.

Patrick really cooked with this one, great work!

Happy april fools, have some dank "science"!

We're running TerribleHack again April 26! More info at terriblehack.website!

nothing warms my heart like a new tom scott video

Because no one asked:

heerich.js now has per-voxel scale transforms

scale: [1, 0.5, 1] — or (x, y, z) => [...]
position becomes shape

been playing with shaders lately, so this felt natural:
scale + scaleOrigin now accept functions

no-where near shader speed though :D

How a piece of military tech changed music forever YouTube video by Version History

I think this is my favourite Version History episode so far youtu.be/IHCMEImKpWY?...

first morning of the year where its been warm enough at 6am for me to run in shorts! seems like we're back below zero tomorrow though, sigh

I think right now the most awkward part of the code is not the flocking but updating the rotation in the shader drawing the particles. a transformation API may need to be next

p5.strands boids! editor.p5js.org/davepagurek/... Video compression does not like this much, but my 2021 macbook runs 10,000 boids with no spatial partitioning or anything, just a regular old for loop, with no problem

p5 compute shader update! editor.p5js.org/davepagurek/...

You can now work with objects in your compute shader, e.g.:

const particleData = uniformStorage(particles);
const idx = iteration.index.x;
let pos = particleData[idx].position;
let vel = particleData[idx].velocity;
pos += vel * deltaTime;

my second attempt got a bit better, and then I tried twice on my phone to see if it was any different and it was like the same, so I may have hit the limit of my eyes before the limit of my screen lol

Your ΔE_OK JND is 0.0046. You're seeing differences that most colour scientists would call noise. If you're not already calibrating displays for a living, you're leaving money on the table.

ok i did the thing. thank you 2011 thunderbolt display for still having good colors

Sari the Spy 2 YouTube video by Sari Pagurek van Mossel

When I was in the 7th grade my sister and I made a silly movie where she's a spy(/detective/cop? it's not super clear.) Years later, we made a sequel, based on a real life thing where her spotify wrapped keeps saying she listens to a lot of Peter Gabriel www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU1a...

I got a red t shirt from an event once that printed a QR code in white, accidentally inverting the colors and ensuring no one could scan it lol

lmao the QR code doesn't even work any more either! looks like they used a free QR code maker that expires the link

Why Cat Toys End Up Under the Couch YouTube video by Dave Pagurek

Building a new Flash I don't know where to start with this but yeah I'm making flash if flash was built in 2026. I'm making it compatible with Linux,Mac, and PC. If you'd like to support this project I've started a patreo...

Spread the word, an ACTUAL replacement for Flash is on the horizon! Go support this project NOW!!!!!!!!
