My AI generated avatar will nod along your AI generated video. Win-win.

The most interesting part is the funding came from Japanese motorboat racing profit. Imaging if we could funnel profit from NFL to benefit science or local communities.

Here is a paper if you are interested. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.13681.pdf

The key is not to compress but to leverage the property of neural radiance fields and optimize for entropy. I suspect NERF can yield more compact storage since it's volumetric.

Not sure what you mean by "unacceptably low up close". Most GS demos don't have LoD lol.

Mesh based photogrammetry is a dead end. GS or radiance field representation is just getting started. Not just rendering but potentially a highly compact way to store large 3D scenes.

I can explain it with higher dimensional turbulence. Where is my Nobel.

I would suggest getting the teachers to put up a catalogs of frequently asked questions to help with seo, and charge for custom videos.

I'm not sure if Dust3r can produce better poses than colmap given the number of photos you need to properly train GS.

If you are in neuroscience I would recommend looking into neural radiance fields rendering as well. I find it fascinating since it's essentially an over-fitted neural network.

Pro: less likely to mixup orders since the order is encoded into the plate. Con: running out of condiment could be a show stopper.

I did that once and got another ticket for "abandonment" and almost got towed.

People often can't see their blind spot so I'm going to try one more time to explain this. This has nothing to do with "national security". If it did Swedish government would have rescued Volvo along with Saab when it was worth pennies. Geely is a private company that took the risk and made the investment to turn Volvo around. People like you see things through the lens of race and nationalism. That gives you justification to rob others. You Swedes are amateurs in this game. US was founded on the idea of robbing other race groups in the name of security.

You are saying "national security" out loud and it's dogwhistle for xenophobic nationalism. Taking a company that's being successfully turned around in the name of national security is wrong.

Ford drove Volvo into the ground before selling it Geely. While I agree CPP needs to be kept at arms length, sentiment like this is pure nationalist dog whistle.

Last nail in the coffin for DALL·E.

If it follows the smartphone market trend, Tesla will hold the premium segment while Korean and Chinese wipe the floor. Sadly the days of Japanese manufacturing dominance are over.

I have tried a number of coding games with my daughter since she was 7: lego mindstorm. swift playground. minecraft. godot. She probably got the furthest with swift playground, but the end of day if her friends are not into it it's very hard to make it stick.

Now she's 11 I found more success doing challenging math problems with her. There's a book series called "art of problem solving" which focuses on competitive level math. I can see her eyes light up after solving a hard problem and she enjoys sharing them with her friends.

It's a pretty common technique for cooking rice noodles but it never occurred to me to try it with pasta. Thanks for posting this!

It looks like fed should have started QT in 2015.

It would have worked if China didn't have deep pool of engineers and fundings to backup multi decade R&D projects. We are going to look back at this and realize it's a strategic mistake.

Meta also let Facebook rot. Didn't come up with anything competitive against TikTok. Couldn't monetize Whatsapp and turn it into a superapp like WeChat. There are just failures on every front.

"Class A" players answer call to rid the world of fossil fuel and explore deep space. There's nothing meaningful or productive about Twitter.

Yes happens consistently with Safari. I guess YouTube engineers only test on Chrome ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Google engineering team is supreme but product team is subpar.

FaceTime does auto gaze correction.

Jack Welch destroyed the company and wrote a book to brag about it.

If you believe Musk would deliver true transparency then I got a self driving car to sell you.

It's unsettling Musk is going to control the biggest political megaphone of this country.

My 3 yo pointed at the key and said “drone”.

Do you believe in 0?

Scam is rampant on LinkedIn. I'm getting constant connection requests from obviously fake profiles with AI generated faces.
