I think this is naive regarding propagandists. These TV channels don't "express views", they manipulate and fabricate opinion to serve the interests of their owners (in this case a multi-billionaire industrial family with a f

Excuse me? C8 would be right in its place in Moscow, on the contrary. It's a propaganda channel owned by a billionaire FN backer. Cyril Hanouna is basically a Russian TV host that speaks French. The embodiment of bad faith. At any rate

Could you give concrete examples of situations where your freedom is restricted in France?

Oh, BREPs don't necessarily mean closed surfaces. They're just trimmed rational Bézier splines and other primitives stitched together with some topology. I'm mainly wondering if you might not find the surface-related function

Looks very interesting. What would you say are the main technical challenges in the way of your development? By the way, the roadmap link on the Github repo page is broken (though I did find it in the project's website). I saw you&#x27

Could you clarify this a little? My layman perception of NNs is they are a formalism that defines a parametric function family (for instance the family of affine functions has m + mxn parameters for n input and m output space dimensions) us

Even beyond sensations (which are never described except circumstantially, as in "the taste of chocolate" says nothing of the taste, only of the circumstances in which the sensation is felt), it's very often people don't

Hmm, "en 8" makes sense to me in that you're using it to reference the next Whateverday that is at least 8 days apart from now. If we're on a Tuesday, and I say we're meeting Wednesday in eight, that Wednesday is in

I may be misunderstanding your argument, but if it's that of a simple offset, then only the one starting from 0 forms a monoid (a group without an inverse to each element). Though, of course, you could redefine the + operation...

I don't know what you mean by lacking structure, but perhaps you are not aware of all the tools that exist, because fixing surface meshes is a rather classic problem. Just type "surface remeshing" or "surface mesh optimi

Meshing has been around long before machine learning came to prominence, there's plenty of methods to improve surface meshes already.

Games are the least of it, the vast majority of scientific applications to do with physics use meshes rather than point clouds. This is because a point cloud does not represent a surface or a volume until the points are connected to form, w

Maybe I'm confused about what you mean by primary and secondary sources, but I think you have to be a little more nuanced; otherwise, it sounds like you're advocating for reinventing the wheel ad vitam aeternam. As opposed to &quo

This must still be somewhat common. I recall e-mails from administration at my previous French lab had in their signature something to the effect of "Think of the environment, do not print this e-mail". I actually had an example o

From what I could tell of the Git repo (2min skimming), their model is generating a point cloud, and they're then applying non-ML meshing methods on that (marching cubes) to generate a surface mesh. So you could plug any point-cloud-to

I'm curious, why do you find this so high? Take the army for example, it's estimated 30~40% of the workforce is dedicated to logistics. This is equivalent to 42~66% overhead (in the same sense that overhead is discussed in the con

My university only has 6% faculty, but 52% scientific staff overall, not counting graduate students. I do believe this is a classification issue coupled with the appearance and now ubiquity of precarious positions (soft-funded staff, postdo

The author of that article is acting as though there were only two types of employees at a university: faculty and administrative. Yet this is false, faculty are "team leaders" managing a team of scientific staff (non-faculty). Ty

It's even more specific than that. Grants are often specific to a research project and you're not supposed to pay, say, a postdoc that works on X with a grant that's supposed to cover work on Y.

Could you expand on the strategies you tried, and how they failed?
