My breath caught in my throat. My heart pounded. This couldn’t be real. How could this happen to me? Me?? Hadn’t I been a good person? Did I commit some horrific sin? My mind reeled as I tried to think of why, why???What foul karma had befallen me??

I stared into the cupboard in dawning horror, as panic threatened to overtake my already tenuous state of calm. I couldn’t unsee it, no matter how hard I tried.

The basket was bare.

Do you want to solve a PDE on a surface with interior boundary conditions at points or curves, perhaps for geometry processing problems? My PhD student Nathan King has a new ACM Transactions on Graphics paper that will do the trick! His work extends the Closest Point Method to support interior boundaries, and demonstrates its usefulness in a variety of visual applications. All it requires is a closest point function for the surface!

A Closest Point Method for PDEs on Manifolds with Interior Boundary Conditions

Christopher Batty 2 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Since it only needs a closest point function for the surface, it works for the explicit or implicit representation of your choice: meshes, parametric surfaces, level set surfaces, point clouds, or whatever else you can dream up.

Check out the paper here: https://nathandking.github.io/projects/CPM_IBC_GP/

Or better yet, if you're at SIGGRAPH 2024 in Denver, track Nathan down and he can tell you all about it!

i thought it was the closest point on the surface first, but it's the 3d euclidean distance in cartesian coordinates! and yet it does surface flow! magic.

I've read that jumping spiders and others that depend on seeing prey clearly at a distance have particularly good eyesight. I've played with little jumping spiders by moving my hand around near them. They move and shift to follow your movements. Not afraid. I've had them jump onto my finger.

Nifty little guys.

if you’re an lgbtqia+ person who’s relatively young and doesn’t embrace the term “queer” you scare me

skze 2 months ago • mastodon (AP)

i have often gotten the impression that a lot of very young people in the “but queer is a slur” camp are just trying to do right. someone told them that it’s a slur and hateful and that it shouldn’t be used, and they took that at face value, without realising what kinds of groups have historically been attacking this consolidating terminology 🙁

forestine 2 months ago • mastodon (AP)

yeah a lot of this crap is so ahistorical and that's why queer history is so important

skze 2 months ago • mastodon (AP)

it’s also fascinating to me from a languaga standpoint, because like a whole lot of languages adopted “queer” once it became that reclaimed umbrella term, so queer ESL speakers often don’t even realise that there’s a whole history behind it, that’s just the word that is used, and then some random english speaking baby queer starts yelling at them for using a word that they have never heard in any negative sense

nova (they/them) 2 months ago • mastodon (AP)

not every polyam person is queer, in the same way not every 2slgbtqia+ person is queer. but i don’t think that contradicts polyam being queer

I want to make something clear.

Corporations set prices, set wages, etc. I feel for everyone affected by corporate greed. I have a pinned post about it.

Here's the thing. You want to go after corporations? Raise wages? Raise taxes? Go back to the pre-Citizens United decision world in which they couldn't give unlimited money to GOP candidates that they know will deliver a pro-corporate paradise?

We need to put more Democrats in Congress to do that plus a Democratic President. That's reality.
