They are using some sort of graph of connected volumes without hierarchy as their acceleration structure. This could be an interesting alternative to using a tree or grid.
I wish they:
1. Showed a visualisation of their data structure.
2. Gave a straight-up comparison against an alternative like Optix on the same hardware.
3. Characterised the possible construction algorithms to some extent, especially with respect to animated scenes.
It is just a poster, so it will be interesting to read the paper when it arrives.
This is no Babbage-style mechanical computer. I found the BBC's title a distraction from the amazing revelation that ancient Greeks were building such complicated mechanisms.
I was at an interview recently and was disgusted to see my CV in the hands of the interviewers with the formatting totally messed up and the logo of the recruiters all over it. They had obviously cut and pasted into a word document even though I wouldn't give them this originally.
Problem with doing that is recruiters are lazy and you are giving them an extra step to go through.
They probably like to just have a folder full of .docs for each posting.
A few times I've sent applications in PDF format just to be auto rejected.
I keep all versions of my CV side by side in directories checked in to subversion and copy the closest existing one to make a new version rather than trying to maintain multiple different flavours of CV at the same time.
Thanks! I will take a look. Another goal was to reduce the barrier to entry. I wanted it to be easy to use even for non developers or non technical people. That's why I was trying to build it purely in html/css/javascript and without any backend support. Modify resume.json and upload the files to any webhost and you have your portlio site up.
This part of the CV looks like a cross between a covering letter and a profile/summary to me. It seems too long and it repeats information that is present elsewhere in the CV.
I would shorten it and use it to get your main message across to the person scanning it at high speed. Sorry to post my own latex-generated CV twice in one thread, but for ease of reference, this is what I mean:

My profile there splits into two parts:
1. I am ...
2. I want ...
So: "Strong software engineer with substantial OpenGL and OpenGL ES and general 3D graphics and GPU programming experience, a background in R&D, and currently developing for Android [1]. Looking for challenging short-term contracts that leverage these strengths[2]." That's it.
I would also leave out the personal history of how you first started using computers, particularly as the first couple lines of your resume. It's the first thing I read and while it's a nice story it's not really relevant.
