Job Talle's personal blog at jobtalle.com covers programming and math. Since 2017, 6 different Hacker News readers have linked it 10 times, most often “Layered Voxel Rendering”. The last post was in 2023, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for an SDF (signed distance field) maker tool hosted on the site, in a thread about sub-pixel distance transforms. The comment praises the tool, not the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
There are tricks to do it, I described some at the end of this blog post: https://jobtalle.com/layered_voxel_rendering.html - If you raise all height values to a power, you get creases in the terrain that are generated by erosion in real life. - If you raise all terrain values under a height just above sea level to a power, then you get beach like erosion, so flat areas will form along the shore.
