Did Jeff and Sanjay pair write their resignation letter? Wow.

There are actually championships. People do refer to different bots at being at the Master level, Grandmaster level, etc. In Chess, in Go, etc. They might not be officials, they not might represent the official organizations, but those th

We know which bots are the best at Chess. You'd care which AI is the most accurate at diagnosing your medical condition. It's not a bad thing to keep track of which automated systems are the best at certain tasks.

Sure, but keep in mind that technically New Jersey is "habitable," so don't get too excited.

I feel like there should be an online museum dedicated to reproducing the graphics in movies, as faithfully as possible. Especially awesome if film-makers started DONATING their video assets to the museum.

It doesn't seem like it's popular to put old game ROMs on IPFS...? And that surprises me...

Wouldn't it be better to just have an open source project, where everyone picks some tasks for their "spare" tokens to implement?

Sure, you could think in terms of 1m^3. Yes, you're right that composing the best picture for an eye point could (and does) use splats from all over the scene. But I think if you limit to splats that are (entirely, mostly, partially?)

My dumb idea... do outdoor scans, and then convert the contents into 1m^2 blocks... And then, just dumbly stitch them together. Kind of like Minecraft... but with user-generated gaussian-splat blocks.

I was daydreaming about, picture if a corporation buys an entire state. Say, Wyoming or West Virginia. Gemini guesses $180 billion to $250 billion. With that investment, they'd get to control who lives in the state. So, then the corpo

I blame the intentionally cheap receiving optics. Researchers have reconstructed a TV signal from a hotel room with closed blinds, by very accurately measuring the ambient light intensity of the room (as shown on the blinds.) Knowing that,

I specifically want this device to have no input or output hardware that could be used without my knowledge. IrDA could absolutely be used without my knowledge.

I've wanted to use this for an air-gapped communication device. I have a device with a camera and a touch-screen that only uses capacitive charging. I type a message. Bytes are encrypted. I hit send. QR codes flash on my screen. I

That's a bummer. I'll admit that, at first, I thought this said Michael Keaton. And oddly enough, Michael Keaton's real name is Michael Douglas. So, there's a whole spiral of madness that my brain went off into.

I've been toying with using Jart's Blink, the "tiniest x86-64-linux emulator". If it were hardened against attacks by a smart community, it seems really attractive... Then I've been toying with using WASM, with a s

Yeah, when you describe that, I picture Wave Function Collapse to generate a map schematic... And then a text prompt, and some style photos the designers want it to match.

by MattCruikshank 5mo ago
Sure, but NERFs were trying to match your input photos and poses, not some arbitrary prompt, if I understand correctly.

I want some math Phds to sit down with the Corridor Crew guys and figure out how to make Gaussian Splat reconstruction way better, the way they came up with CorridorKey.

I just wanted to do a quick size comparison... If I'm reading Chrome right, that's 171 MB, for the website, and the data. If I'm doing the math right, that's 40 seconds worth of the bandwidth from Netflix, at its highest

I know feelings about AI are mixed. But when AI can dream up gaussian splats in real time, from a prompt, and do refinement as you get closer to things... That's going to be pretty bonkers.

I'm so continuously confused why Minecraft doesn't have a show-off mode where a team of people can build something, and then someone else can spectate it, without causing undue server load. I should be able to give you a URL to so
