...so far. The presenter is only 23 apparently. Maybe I'm speaking only for myself here, but I think career unhingedness does not go down over time as much as one might hope.
In all seriousness, she does really impressive work, so when she says this 2,000 lines of C++ is inscrutable, that gives one pause. Glad it's working nonetheless.
The original 2600+ lines of C++: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/asahi/mesa/-/blob/main/src/ga...
The translated code: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/asahi/mesa/-/blob/main/src/as...
The code is quite low on comments and doesn't really explain the math there. It probably makes sense if you have background in the lofty math side of computer graphics, but that's a slightly different skillset than being able to reverse-engineer and bring up exotic hardware.
A lot of the size is just because the code deals with a lot of 3/4 dim stuff and also some things are a bit more verbose in code but translate to something short in assembly
Yes, well, from the article:
>That works, but ""tessellator.cl is the most unhinged file of my career""; doing things that way was also the most unhinged thing she has done in her career ""and I'm standing up here in a witch hat for the fifth year in a row"". The character debuted in the exact same room in 2019 when she was 17 years old, she recalled.
17. That's impressive.
