I'm not a HN etiquette stickler, and I'm not accusing anyone of any foul play, but the actual YouTube video was submitted 17 hours prior to this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6358080

This is just in case you want to throw a few upvotes their way for being first. This also illustrates that late night (PDT/UTC -8) posts don't get a whole lot of votes and proper timing is crucial to getting lots of votes.

It was also submitted here even earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6351712

Personally, I'm just glad to see this video finally getting traction. It really is such a cool demo. It even stands out in the field of consistently high-quality SIGGRAPH demos. Can't wait to read the paper!

I submitted it too https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6352371

It's weird that it has received quite a few votes each time and never made it to the front page. Was it a timing issue (late night, early morning, non-American hours) or is YouTube "weighted down" somehow?
