this is the first time I've made extensive use of complex numbers in shader code, which has been fun!
it's an analytic 2D lighting system through piecewise conformal maps representing angular light/"sky" exposure, which means you get fully analytic penumbras!

The old line that analytic philosophy is answering questions that come naturally to toddlers via methods that come naturally to lawyers remains undefeated.
It is sorta a funny thing about philosophy that the questions are inherently fascinating and exciting—there’s a reason people wind up talking about this stuff in dorm rooms—and the best methods we have for investigating them involve being as tedious and pedantic and boring as possible

Apropos of my post about analytic philosophy...
I for one am tired of the “all of human existence should be quantified into spreadsheets, and things that cannot be quantified should be viewed as irrelevant and useless” faction running everything
I think a problem with EA, even with what it said it purported to be at the beginning, is the process of turning all human endeavors into a spreadsheet.
Once that happens, no local charity or small arts organization stands a chance at justifying their existence, no individual human matters.

Such an analytic-coded statement. ;-)
I do think one thing people who don't regularly do philosophy research don't really understand is how little reading is actually required to do it

analytic philosophers must be stopped
OK, but what if a psychic predicted how many boxers you were going to wear and secretly fed you a laxative if and only if they predicted that you were going to wear more than one?

analytic philosopher here, can confirm
“Practitioners of analytic philosophy will be aware that the charge of absurdity or incoherence is not an uncommon or even an unjust criticism of many claims made within their own discipline.”

once again analytic philosophy is the anglosphere's ideological curse
If you haven't been involved in academic philosophy this might come as a surprise but academic philosophy as a discipline is _shockingly_ full of right-wingers, like, business school levels of conservatives infesting and running the discipline
Oh my god the Arif Ahmed/Kathleen Stock email correspondence. It sure looks like he was pursuing a vendetta against Sussex for a personal friend bsky.app/profile/nate...

See, entry 3 in the bibliography is "Analytic and Algebraic Topology of Locally Euclidean Metrizations of Infinitely Differentiable Riemannian Manifolds" by one N. Lobachevsky.
And if you've ever heard Leher's song "Lobachevsky", you may have just finished that title with "Bozhe moi!"
