List of scenes that I am particularly fond of: - Minecrat computer engineering: Culminated with this playable 3d simplified minecraft clone (CPU+GPU) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BP7DhHTU-I - Shader computing scene: More of a subculture of an already marvelous subculture, people are finding weird ways to compute with shader https://ift.tt/OdFowWB Risc V emulator in a shader https://ift.tt/7Jb8kjz Object detection in a shader - Cellular automata: people finding awesome patterns, some great project: https://ift.tt/yrdHTOu https://ift.tt/GUFJvyK - TAS/Speedrun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBK1sq1BQ2Q Insane game exploit which uses only player input in order to inject an elaborate rom hack with network functionality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9dTmzRAL_4 Another insane one which work by switching game (!!) during the run - "Can it run Doom" Scene: https://twitter.com/sylefeb/status/1258808333265514497 Run a doom map renderer on a FPGA. Not on a classic computer "emulated" by the fpga, the renderer is directly implemented in the fpga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6hnQ1RKhbo Yes doom can run doom So what are your technical gem?

New ask Hacker News story: Is someone trying to steal credit for inventing the eTicket?
