Next #rocketlab launch is planned NET 14 July.

The booster will be recovered via ocean recovery.

The upcoming launch will be a rideshare launch, the first rideshare mission in over a year!

The mission will carry several payloads for NASA, SFL and Spire.

The Electron launching the #BabyComeBack mission has a couple of upgrades to improve re-usability!

Was looking into #WGSL this weekend and keeps me wondering why I should learn a new shading language. What does it exactly solve? Think will keep to #spir-v toolset for now using #HLSL . If I need to learn something new , best that it is a standard I can use for most of my projects.

I should mention that this isn't just a matter of the dominant player internationally boycotting standards that would make them lose the vendor lock-in advantage (hello #NVIDIA). All major vendors are guilty of this one way or the other. For example, #AMD unjustifiably pulled (or maybe failed to add) #SPIR and #CPU support from their new #OpenCL implementation. #Intel's #oneAPI (even while still leveraging the OpenCL backend) effectively failed on any other OpenCL platform.

It's "spear vee"

Mike Houston proposed the original SPIR at the January 2011 Khronos F2F. He gave it the name, expanded the acronym *and* was explicit about the pronunciation as "spear".

SPIR-V came later. Khronos has always pronounced it "spear vee"

That said, language is a living thing, so use what you like.
