Dylan's talk is like Cvar pornography. Cvar after Cvar fixing all sorts of rendering headaches. If you're focused on your projects visuals make sure you check it out!
Just over a week till #UnrealFest Bali, excited to catch up with everyone and also do a talk with lots of pretty graphics :)
If anyone wants to catch up ill see you there!

Busting the high-dimensional CVaR optimization myth!
Some people question whether CVaR optimization is feasible for high-dimensional portfolios.
Below is a Python case study that optimizes the 95%-CVaR over 10000 joint scenarios for 2000 stocks.

can we do this with all EVO/PTU builds more often please?

I keep forgetting that there's a cvar in Quake Wars named 'r_matey'. It doesn't do anything as far as I can tell. It's just a wonderful pun.
I am tweaking my streaming setup but I am going to attempt streaming some Quake Wars later today, because who the heck plays Quake Wars? No one, that's who. I will have a peaceful moment on Twitch.
