It's gonna be Xmas Demo number 010 octal, or 0x08 hex. We had a good run. To go out in style, we first spent a couple of weeks figuring out a cool name: Project Incubus. Next, we thought about hardware: Why not use a TX2 like the first Xmas Demo? Unfortunately, they can't be found anywhere anymore. That's actually good news: The lowest end Nvidia devkit available for purchase now is the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit [rs-online.com]. 1024 GPU cores and 6 A78s priced at a reasonable $249 should provide ample headroom.

3 votes for C and GLSL, 0 votes for rust, snakes or other crap the cat dragged in.
4 votes for secrets. We have no idea how many people are voting or what they're voting for. This is not a democracy anyway.
Yep.
The Icarus T-shirts we got from Teepublic were pretty good, so maybe this one is too: Project Incubus T-shirt [teepublic.com]. We'll order some as soon as Xmas starts closing in. Still summer here.
