Timur’s blog is a personal blog at timur.hu about systems and hardware. Since 2022, 7 different Hacker News readers have linked it 8 times. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-08-27, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Timur's post on mesh shaders arriving on Linux, which covers Vulkan mesh shader support in the Linux graphics stack. One comment cites it for the status of radv support.
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.
Engineer who prefers quality over quantity.
What Hacker News says?
radv added support for it just recently, but it requires "gang submission" support in amdgpu (it's about handling parallel submissions) that's still not merged into the upstream Linux kernel, so mesh shaders are disabled by default. https://timur.hu/blog/2022/mesh-shaders-arrive-on-linux
