Hey Graphics Folks, ever wonder who the “Phong” was that invented Phong shading?
Turns out his last name wasn’t Phong, that online picture of him isn't even him, and his death is connected to the U.S. military’s use of chemical weapons during the Vietnam War.
Dr. Oh, Dr. Tran, and I wrote about it here:

I know it's ludicrously privileged for somebody in tech like me to think the grass is greener on the other side, because that's just not the reality of the situation, economically or otherwise.
BUT
Today a guy came by our house to give us a quote on a new fence, and when it crossed my mind that he has no idea what's going on in tech and will absolutely never need to hop on a video call, or know a single damn thing about AI, I was just a little bit envious.

I hope someday we figure out how to make learning to walk more efficient. You know, why should small children have to struggle so hard to learn these basic skills? There has to be an easier way, then kids could skip past this stuff to get a head start to unlocking value in their educations. Maybe an app on a phone connected to some generative AI? :thonking:
