  I've seen one determined by a harry potter quiz. > Order of authorship was determined by the top score each person received across all three levels of the official Pottermore “Back to Hogwarts Quiz.” For information about the exact scores (and houses), please contact the authors. https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/spc3.12425 https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/spc3...

  It's nice that they explicitly state the meaning of the author-order. For a while, [StackExchange.Academia](https://academia.stackexchange.com/ https://academia.stackexchange.com/) (like StackOverflow, but for questions about academic life) seemed to be getting a lot of questions about the meaning of author-order, where it seemed to vary across fields and even then be prone to subjective interpretation based on unstated rules. It was a very silly situation, made sillier by the fact that those doing it seemed to be under the misimpression that it was the serious, respectable way of conveying authors' relative contributions. Of course, their particular approach to doing this does leave open one potential avenue for confusion. In particular, are they doing this because: 1. they're researchers who want to stress that the name-ordering is arbitrary in a humorous way; or 2. they're hardcore rock-paper-scissors competitors who were primarily motivated by a desire to better advertise the results of their tournament? (Though, in the spirit of being clear-and-explicit, I'm just kidding about that last part!)

Do we anyone here who feels qualified to comment on how much more it would take to run the process backwards and de-render a stream of general footage scenes to a compact, nearly lossless format for transmission or storage?

  I believe you mean a technology called NeRFs. Check his out: https://mobile-nerf.github.io/ https://mobile-nerf.github.io/ There are real time demos, e.g.: https://storage.googleapis.com/jax3d-public/projects/mobilenerf/mobilenerf_viewer_mac/zdeferred_syn_mac.html?obj=lego https://storage.googleapis.com/jax3d-public/projects/mobilen... This still has to be bridged with compressed texture representations (and compressed model representations) but I think that's not too far away.

Thank you for the non-video link. When I'm on HN it's because I'm expressly in a reading mode. I do enjoy videos but not when I'm browsing here.
