A new technical write-up explains how the dual polytope can be used to simplify convex hulls in computational geometry. The author walks through the mathematical relationship between a polytope and its dual and shows how this viewpoint leads to cleaner hull simplification methods. The piece is drawing attention from programmers and math enthusiasts discussing the clarity of the explanation and its practical applications.

Matt Keeter has released Halfspace, an experimental integrated development environment for solid modeling built on distance fields. The tool lets users define 3D geometry through code, offering a new approach to computer-aided design that differs from traditional mesh- or CAD-kernel-based modeling. The project page documents the design and capabilities of the environment.
