I do custom electronics, robotics, and embedded software development - <USER2> specialize in quickly turning ideas into prototypes. I've built custom automation equipment for chemistry labs, sensors that are in use in household/utility applications, control circuitry for construction equipment, 3d printing electronics, data acquisition equipment. No project too small. Few projects too large. Deep discounts for open source hardware work.

I would also be happy to come over (anywhere in Europe) and teach any of the above skills to a small group of interested people. I've taught courses in electronic assembly (SMD), 3d printing (building/using printers, iterative 3d model design using programming) and robot design and construction. I've taught courses at several universities, hackspaces, and conferences.

Summary:

I have been working in B2B sales and marketing since I left the Navy in 2000. I have successfully sold to companies of all sizes and have a demonstrated ability to rapidly learn and understand products and services, broader market and industry trends, and other complex concepts.

Objectives:

I believe I am an ideal first or otherwise early-stage sales hire, after VP. I have a fairly broad range of B2B sales experience and am very willing to change and adapt strategies and tactics to find what is working best.

I am proven to work very well as a rep covering a territory, including when that territory is the United States. I am very interested in local, regional, and national level sales representative positions.

Contact:

I provide a more consultative approach when interviewing me, as I am equally as reluctant to take on a job I am likely to fail at as you are to hire me into such a position. Drop me an email if you would like to know more or for a brief SWOT analysis I made on myself.

        Remote: Yes
        Willing to relocate: Yes
        Technologies: C/C++14, Shell, Python and Ruby Scripting, Functional Programming, build systems & CI, Embedded Linux, Open Source development.
        Résumé/CV: http://deubeuliou.gitlab.io/resume/resume.html
        Email: david _@_ marvid.fr

After working mostly on embedded Linux and cross-platform C++ since 2009, I would like to expand my skill set and try new ways to work. I value dogfooding and for that reason, I want to work on projects or products I actually use and like - meaning that I'm particularly interested in companies that work with the product they develop (e.g. development tools, everyday-use opensource projects, ...).

Additionally, I'm interested in working on Ruby/RoR projects (because I've started learning them) or involving OpenStreetMap (because I love it) or Open Data in general.

Here is my dream job description:

\- Work remotely and travel regularly;

\- On opensource projects;

\- For projects used by their own developers (aka "dogfooding");

\- Using modern languages and technologies (e.g. Modern C++, Ruby, Python, Haskell, Scala, Rust, Modern JavaScript ...);

\- With responsibility to continuously improve processes, tools and code quality.

Résumé/CV: raenn.uk - full CV available by email

Email: On my website

I've just been laid off from a lead/full-stack dev role at a startup; I've got 3+ years experience and worked in a mix of industries and company sizes.

I've got experience in many fields, and I love to learn and try the latest tools. I've got experience of both front- and back-end development, I've worked on ops and databases, I've dabbled in Android Wear, and I've led a team of software apprentices.

Now I'm looking for another chance to work full-stack with cutting edge technology, whatever the language. I'd be really interested to work with Node or Ruby as a back-end language, but I enjoy learning new languages in general and I'm open to others! I love working on code that solves real user problems, and I have a huge focus on good UX throughout the product.

      Young software engineer with 1.5 years experience in embedded programming using C/C++ and GUI development using C#.
      Java is my strongest language and I just recently began tinkering with the Android SDK. I would more
      than welcome an opportunity to work in app development or Android development. Although with me
      being young and new to the field, I'm willing to learn anything. Relocating is also
      something I am more than willing, and would prefer, to pursue.

Problems Raytracing Doesn't Solve - <AUTHOR> http://blackhole12.blogspot.com/2012/09/7-problems-raytracing-doesnt-solve.html

<comment><USER2> There are a number of problems with this article. First, the way ray tracing is described is very odd. Rays aren't traced beginning from the light source that emitted them, but are shot from an "eye point" through a pixel on the screen and are _then_ traced back to a light source (possibly with multiple bounces). Suppose all other operations are constant time, this yields a linear time rendering algorithm (linear with screen resolution). For some data structures this is ridiculously effective. The way it is described in the article is horribly inefficient. Not just that, it won't ever terminate since a light source theoretically emits an infinite number of rays that have to be traced. Infinite number of rays => Infinite time => algorithm never terminates. There are ways to solve that, yes, but in general rays are traced starting at the camera and _end_ at the light source.

On to the paragraphs on photorealism. Yes, ray tracing won't solve this because you haven't even given it a problem yet. They're basically three paragraphs going on about how we don't know how to define photorealism. Yes, it is a bad term. Now, let me have a shot at defining realism in computer graphics: The easier I can mistake it for a real scene, the more realistic it is. What ray tracing does here is substantial! One of the main reasons why we can easily distinguish a computer generated scene (except for some scenes in movies nowadays that have been rendered off-line using thousands of hours of processor time) is lighting. We instinctively "feel" things that are odd about lighting. We're very sensitive to that. Ray tracing can provide better reflections and better shadows than almost any other rendering method and basically does them with just a couple of additional bounces. Given an efficient data structure this is one of the quicker ways to do real time lighting effects properly. To top that off, ray tracing can do proper refraction, proper ambient occlusion, interactive indirect illumination and a few other nice effects. Altogether this means one thing: stepping closer towards realism.

Concerning complexity, ray tracing itself doesn't offer a solution. As I've pointed out already, time complexity of ray tracing algorithms depends _heavily_ on the data structures that are used for looking up collisions of rays with geometry. There are good ones, there are bad ones. What ray tracing does though is free occlusion. Only geometry that is visible is ever rendered. That is pointed out in the article as well. What rubs me the wrong way here is "it still has to navigate through the scene representation". Obviously that is true, but as I just said, a lookup algorithm is _not_ part of ray tracing. RT merely paves the way to use good data structures with it. It's not a problem ray tracing can solve, because it is a _rendering algorithm_ , not a data structure.

The scale problem with the stars. Well that is really a memory problem. Again, an efficient data structure will work no matter the spatial distance a ray has to travel. How are entire solar systems simulated? Well, on that scale you get away decently with not loading everything at once into memory and fetching data when needed. I suspect that this is exactly what is done with current approaches and there's nothing that prevents you from doing the same while ray tracing the scene.

Materials like aerogel or clouds are volumetric effects. Ray tracing is _perfect_ for this. In fact, off line rendering uses ray tracing almost exclusively to perform those stunts.

The physics argument doesn't hold properly because it assumes that we've implemented the renderer on the CPU and are therefore eating processor time in big lumps. It would be suboptimal to implement the ray tracer on the CPU, because RAM access times are usually slower than video memory access times from the GPU. Since we're dealing with large amounts of data in all 3D processing, it's a _much_ better choice to use CUDA, Stream or OpenCL to program the GPU to do the entire raytracing and merely use the CPU for occasionally shovel data into video memory. To top that off, ray tracing is easy to parallelize, since the algorithm operates the same for each screen pixel. Modern GPUs are bloody brilliant at that. Use them! This leaves some room to process physics on the CPU, as well as game logic, AI, event processing, network code, etc.

I don't really get the content argument either. The content has to be made _regardless of the rendering method_. It's the same content after all. How does ray tracing make "it worse"(sic)?

TL;DR: Ray tracing is not a solution to all our problems but a good step forwards in real time rendering. What's really keeping is from implementing it in commercial engines yet is that it's not easily compatible with the polygonal representation of geometry. _This_ is the problem that we should actually be solving.

Oh and by the way, the link labelled with "boring" is actually pretty impressive and _far_ above anything any real-time rendering engine available today produces.

</comment><comment><USER3> I believe raytracing is normally done from each pixel on the screen, into the world that is being rendered. Not "a bajillion rays" from the light sources in the scene. I.e. there is always a constant number of rays for each frame.

<comment><USER4> You are right. The author has absolutely no clue what he is writing about. Just like what you pointed out.

He also claims raytracing does not solve photorealism, but does not back this claim. No single argument why! [Edit: But he's right here, for photorealism you probably want a combination of methods, like ray tracing and radiosity or ray tracing and photon mapping]

Complexity: For raytracing, you can store the scene in very efficient data structures, so you do NOT have to search your "billions of triangles" for each ray. Also, you can make sure rays degrade quickly since you trace them from the camera backwards to the light source, as you have pointed out.

"How do you raytrace stars"? They are a light source at infinite distance. This is a solved problem in computer graphics - And a pretty simple one at that.

Materials, Physics, Content and AI have nothing to do with computer graphics AT ALL.

<comment><AUTHOR> Storing triangles in a super efficient data structure is precisely what I mean by traversing the scene. Do you really think that's a free operation when you have billions of triangles inside a data structure that must be dynamic by nature? You hit all sorts of arcane memory issues. I hit the same thing just developing a basic kd-tree for 2D culling.

The approximation algorithms I pointed out are exactly how raytracing is done backwards, but actually still must use a combination of camera rays and light source rays in a stocastic method in order to determine a path from the camera to the light source. Brute force raytracing is, in fact, just shooting out rays from the light sources. That's obviously inefficient, which is why we have the backwards lighting attempts, as discussed in the article.

Raytracing stars is not as simply as you think, not when you can visit them. They can no longer be point sources at infinite distance because the object itself is not infinitely far away, so you therefore can only substitute an infinite light source in when its essentially a point, which gets really nasty when you are dealing with entire galaxies as light sources, and if it isn't you must deal with all the lighting effects in between.

Materials are _the most important part_ of computer graphics. If you don't think this, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

<comment><USER5> I don't think anyone has ever done purely a _from light source_ tracing, because it doesn't make sense. Tracing _from camera_ is not an approximation.

Brute-force path tracing is random sampling _from camera_ to every direction and bouncing/interacting until light source is hit. This is the standard Monte Carlo path tracing method which is unbiased and arrives at the accurate solution given enough time. This is unbiased, accurate and very simple to implement, but very slow to compute.

Metropolis and photon mapping are bidirectional methods where rays are selectively traced back from light source to forward direction, to speed up the path tracing computation.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER6> The entire article seems to be founded on misconceptions about raytracing and a wilful misunderstanding of what is meant by photorealism. Don't waste your time.

<comment><USER7> Yeah, honestly, I stopped reading at the argument of 20 to 30 bounces not being enough to render a kitchen. I mean, this is still around 19 to 29 times more than what traditional 3D methods are using for environmental mapping. But more importantly, I don't think it's common (even in a kitchen) to have more than a handful of "bounces" being visible - things tend to get small at that point (unless we're looking at two large, flat mirrors pointed at each other).

</comment></comment><comment><USER8> From the article: "The game industry spends all its computational time trying to render a scene, leaving almost nothing left for the AI routines, forcing them to rely on techniques from 1968. Think about that - we are approaching the point where AI in games comes down to a 50-year old technique that was considered hopelessly outdated before I was even born."

This can hardly be considered a problem of ray tracing specifically. And the A* algorithm is a perfectly decent algorithm for path-finding. The notion that an algorithm that does its job should be disregarded just because it is old is ridiculous.

<comment><USER9> A* is fine if you have a single moving object navigating a static scene. Problem is that most game scenes aren't static so you either have to recalculate on every movement (very expensive) , break it down to smaller paths (possibly leading to very sub optimal paths) or wait for it to get stuck (at which point it might become impossible to be unstuck).

</comment></comment><comment><USER10> There's an entire field of research around realism in computer simulation and graphics. Raytracing is but one tool to solve the problems in this field. And there's at least one company who has monetized its efforts in this field: Pixar has been solving these problems for years. For quite some time, they've solved a handful of problems with each movie they made. Then, they release that knowledge in the newest version of Renderman. Now their products aren't cheap, nor is the educational material related to it, so I guess that complete "freedom" in the CGI space is quite a few years out, but I digress...

<comment><USER6> There are a LOT of companies monetising their efforts at making realistic computer graphics - including the one I work for. It's not just Pixar. :-)

<comment><USER10> "at least one..."

At most ... indefinite.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER11> I think the author doesn't know how ray tracing is implemented.

> raytracing is the process of rendering a 3D scene by tracing the path of a > beam of light after it is emitted from a light source, calculating its > properties as it bounces off various objects in the world until it finally > hits the virtual camera

With my limited knowledge of graphics, I was under the impression ray tracing works exactly the opposite way: one sends 1 ray per pixel (based on the size of the viewport) into the scene, bouncing it off objects (taking into account their material properties) to finally compute the color value for that pixel. It's the exact opposite of the real world (where the sun shines light on the objects and the rays end up hitting our retinas).

Reversing the process has the advantage of being finite: only 1024x768 (or 1920x1200,etc) rays will be sent from the viewport into the scene. In the author's scenario, there would be an infinite number of rays to be traced (light sources generally emit light in all direction and they try to emulate a real light source, which emits an infinite number of rays).

Am I completely wrong here? Is my whole world a lie?

<comment><USER8> Usually one starts at the eye and traces back through the scene. But the converse is also sometimes useful, and the terminology is slightly ambiguous (different people have called different variants "forward" and "backward" at different points in time...), Wikipedia has some details:

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing#Reversed_direction_...](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing#Reversed_direction_of_traversal_of_scene_by_the_rays)

> Am I completely wrong here?

No.

> Is my whole world a lie?

Yes.

</comment></comment><comment><USER12> So maybe they should have called it. "3 problems that raytracing can't solve, and 4 other ones that just suck about modeling real life in 3d(on a 2d surface)".

</comment><comment><USER13> so, traditionally, things that have been implemented in software, have then been implemented in hardware, to accelerate the process. Is this possible to do with raytracing?

<comment><USER5> Current GPUs are very suitable for ray tracing, because raytracing can be almost completely parallelized and GPUs are programmable nowadays. However, one problem (huge) is random memory access. When rays can bounce at objects scattered very far from each other, it's difficult to keep anything cached. Nevertheless, most current realtime raytracers are GPU implementations, some are hybrid GPU/CPU.</comment></comment>


Map of the World's Nuclear Power Plants - <AUTHOR> https://www.carbonbrief.org/mapped-the-worlds-nuclear-power-plants <comment><USER2> Only tangentially related but: this kind of map is really a good use case for Wikidata and its query service, I think. For instance here's how to get something similar: [https://w.wiki/4wz](https://w.wiki/4wz)

Drawbacks: not all reactors are known and not all the data is currently here.

Advantages: took me 2 minutes to write, and the underlying data can be edited by anyone to keep it up to date.

<comment><USER3> Nice to see SPARQL getting used in the wild for real purposes!

I want to do this too, and have lots of questions. How do you look up relationship terms like "wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q134447"? Is there a graph or entity viewer somewhere that allows discovery based on browsing a particular entity's tuples?

Edit: In addition to Squad_Tamer's tip below, the things I've found:

1) removing the #defaultView:map comment results in a table

2) adding the `?x` back to the select will result in links to the full entity page, including all statements associated with the entity nicely organized.

3) The SERVICE statement was entirely new to me, but points to how difficult it is to do knowledge summary (I.e. wtf should I call this entity? let's write a service for that.)

<comment><USER4> I figured out that if you click the "info" icon at the top-left of the screen, it'll bring up a little GUI editor with dropdowns. Still not great for finding categories, but better than "wdt:P279"

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER5> A singular voting issue for me would be replacing all the nuclear power plants in the U.S. Maybe even doubling the count over the next two decades.

We are running a huge risk not replacing them as they age. If one of the plants have a meltdown it's going to ruin any support to have them replaced. The U.S. keeps these plants so they can make nuclear weapons very quickly, but also the power is relatively clean / contained.

<comment><USER6> > We are running a huge risk not replacing them as they age.

We're mostly decommissioning them as they age, usually before the end of their design life. And there are legal requirements to do so at the end of their permitted period if they aren't refreshed. So, what's the risk?

Sure, but such support — particularly from industry in the absence of even greater subsidies for which there is no public support — does not exist anyway, nor is a meltdown even remotely likely.

> The U.S. keeps these plants so they can make nuclear weapons very quickly

The U.S. keeps shutting them down, and isn't replacing them, so I don't think that's accurate.

Globally, we've had 2 major meltdowns in the last 25 years. There have been many near misses. Three mile island was only a 'partial' meltdown, but it happened right here in the US, in 1979.

I don't know why you think a meltdown is "not even remotely likely".

<comment><USER5> Newer reactor designs are less likely to have a meltdown. 1979 was 23 years into having commercial nuclear reactors. It's been 40 years, presumably we've learned a lot since then.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER8> It's a little scary seeing that pretty much every US plant was built in the 60s-70s. I know Nuclear has been controversial for a long time but 50 years is a little ridiculous.

<comment><USER9> What is preventing new nuclear power plants from being built? Is it just fear/local opposition, or is there some regulatory or financial reason that new plants aren't being proposed?

<comment><USER10> Nuclear power is not cost competitive. Reasonably safe nuclear power plants require a lot of concrete and steel. A highly trained workforce and significant security 24/7\. Quite a bit of land with access to water and or the construction of a huge cooling tower(s). Past all this you need a massive insurance policy or state backing in case something major goes wrong.

Without subsidies it's a money losing proposition even if you can sell all power produced at a good rate. However, with renewables regularly pushing down the value of electricity for much of the day things have gotten even worse.

<comment><USER11> Or states are giving tax breaks to fracking (natural gas) companies in the name of "job creation", only helping to lower the cost of electricity produced from natural gas. Basically we are subsidizing non-renewalable energy sources.... Also regulation drives a big chunk of the cost of nuclear. It's not the cement and labor that drives the cost here...

<comment><USER12> I've observed a bit of an irony there - the fossil fuel industries generate political protection for themselves because of all the jobs they generate.

Nuclear is an order or two more efficient (you need a fraction of the mines, and a fraction of the work to keep the whole technology stack running). In practice this seems to mean that nuclear power doesn't have much of a lobby in favor of it even if it is established as an industry.

In Australia the coal lobby is a pretty noticeable force in two states and arguably influenced the last election. If we were 100% nuclear instead there wouldn't be enough people in the industry to make a political difference.

Come what may, nuclear power it is a sophisticated and technically excellent way of securing energy. China's strategy of long-term technical success really shines through.

They might be serious about shutting down their coal burners. That is a real commitment to clean air and energy security - they are doing something different. Minor compared to the current business-as-usual perhaps, but they make iterative change work.

<comment><USER13> If the US hadn't stopped building nuclear and merely continued at the same rate, half of our electricity would be CO2-free. With even modest growth assumptions, 100% of our electricity would be CO2-free. Today. Not 50 years from now. Today.

It's a shame we decided nuclear was too dangerous and decided to pump our atmosphere full of carbon instead. I'm glad to see that China is making the right choice, I just wish we could have as well.

<comment><USER14> _If the US hadn 't stopped building nuclear_

The map shows three facilities under construction. I'm not sure that counts as "stopped."

<comment><USER15> When did a new plant last come online in the US? I think it _does_ count as stopped.

Prior to Watts Bar unit #2 coming online in 2016, the previous reactor was Watts Bar unit #1 in _1996_. So that's one reactor in the past 20 years, and 23 years since we last opened a new plant.

<comment><USER14> So the one that started construction in 2013 doesn't exist?

20 years between plants isn't that big a deal. They're not building houses. Nuclear reactors take decades to built. It's one of the reasons they're so expensive.

<comment><USER15> It's possible to build these things in parallel, so "each one takes 10 years to build" doesn't mean you can't still bring one reactor online each year.

Either way, new reactor construction is not currently a significant source of new generation capacity in the US, and so I think it counts as "basically stopped".

And I wonder how much it has misinformed the general public

<comment><USER21> n=1, but my general takeaway from the show wasn't that nuclear is fundamentally flawed, it was that a series of pretty questionable choices by management and egregiously eschewing safety protocol lead to the accident. The graphite-tipped rods were also essential to the accident happening as well, but only after that series of bad choices had put the reactor in a such an extreme state. (Reading about the event on Wikipedia seems to confirm this take, but, of course I'm not pretending to have any more than the most basic layman's understanding of all this)

<comment><USER22> There's a saying among pilots:

"Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect."

This is 10x more true with nuclear power. And you can add malfeasance, graft, corruption, ignorance of basic science, and generally every other flaw inherent in humanity to the list.

<comment><USER23> It totally is though. The general public understand this intuitively. What goes up must come down. And for the industry to work it requires a staggering amount of effort, coordination and training. That safety record can never be taken for granted.

<comment><USER27> What violation? So far maybe only one person died (not even certain) from radiations caused by Fukushima. 15 000 died in the tsunami. So why is Japan stopping nuclear power exactly? In the meantime they use way more dirtier sources of energy that will directly cause lung diseases and deaths to way more people.

It's plainly obvious why a populace would no longer trust nuclear as a generation technology based on how it was managed, regardless of your air pollution arguments (which I agree with; Japan should move to wind, solar, and batteries rapidly instead of coal).

<comment><USER27> > Japan should move to wind, solar, and batteries rapidly instead of coal

There is no such technology Japan can move to at this stage, to cover the needs of major cities. DOn't forget that land is extremely expensive in japan (as it's rare to get stable and flat surfaces) and there is no place in which you can build large areas of solar farms just next to cities that need it. For high energy density production there's only fossil fuels (which is awful on so many levels) and nuclear (which is very safe even when accounting for Fukushima and Chernobyl and Three Miles Island). Pretending that there is right now more to renewables than just maybe up to 10% of energy needs is lying to the public.

Of course, we should continue to invest in renewables to make their costs drop as much as possible, but at the same time we all need to keep investing in nuclear too (and build new generations of reactors that reduce further the risk of meltdown).

<comment><USER28> Renewable (other than hydro) is 4% I think.

Its easy for the public to be panicked by old unsafe plants causing pollution. They should have voted for new plants to replace the old ones. It was a choice, probably emotional. As is the reluctance to move forward with renewable nuclear plants as our energy future.

</comment><comment> java-man This map lists "nuclear power plants" and therefore is missing research reactors.

Any research reactor contains a critical mass of fuel, and therefore is fully capable of meltdown.

<comment><USER18> Not true: TRIGA reactors can be put into prompt critical but shut themselves quickly as they get hot. They do it on purpose with a pneumatically ejected control rod to generate a high neutron flux pulse:

[https://ne.oregonstate.edu/11-mw-triga-mark-ii-pulsing- resea...](https://ne.oregonstate.edu/11-mw-triga-mark-ii-pulsing-research- reactor)

As far as meltdown: if you drain all of the water, they do not generate enough decay heat to melt down due to their size.

They were invented by Freeman Dyson as a "reactor safe enough for high school students to operate".

<comment><USER26> Is it legal to own and operate such a reactor as a private citizen?

<comment><USER32> You would have to get a license, either from the NRC or from your state regulator (it is different in different states). Oregon is an NRC agreement state, so in Oregon it would be from the state.

Typically there is a person whose name is on the license, who is responsible for the proper use of the reactor. At an organization this could be the boss, owner, or RSO. In theory, as a private citizen you could get a license, as long as you can prove to the regulator that you have the experience and training to operate the reactor properly.

Of course, you would have to comply with all the rules and regulations. This could be quite burdensome for a private citizen, especially with the additional security rules added post 9/11 (assuming you are not a billionaire).

Edit: removed link to quantities of concern, sorry, rules are different for reactors.
