Clicking the link, I found this visualization of the approximate orbit: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_lookup.html#/?sstr=2024%... This orbit is around the sun (as asteroids tend to) and the apoapsis is close

My guess is that small objects like this suffer greatly from the 3-body problem, and multiple trajectories are generated from various starting points inside our measured error bars for the current states of these objects. Small inaccuracie

Do you have a source for the claim that poor GenZ are worse off than past generations? I'm actually curious, I've only seen the numbers in aggregate.

Art models, to me, are very powerful paintbrushes. The technical skill of the artist is less important, but their ability to create art that makes people FEEL is more important than ever.

Do you think that the data centers which have already been built are sitting idle, and that's why people are tripping over themselves to spin up new ones? It's an objective fact that many people find these things useful. Whether

I mean nobody can pretend that this level of investment will continue forever, but even before the LLM hype NVIDIA was printing cash.

Bold of you to assume that management will notice this bug or care if it's something minor on the frontend!

NVDA has an exceptionally reasonable P/E ratio and is a great pick on fundamentals alone. The tariffs are not going to make other graphics cards + their software 2x better.

Electricity in China, even at residential rates, is 1/10th the cost it is in CA. I think the salient point here is that the "price to train" a model is a flashy number that's difficult to evaluate out of context. Americ

I'm struggling to understand this take because we already have the meme of the starving artist and their angelic patron. What you're claiming is essentially that when tools make it faster and easier to create art, art gets worse.

Splats to meshes is an isosurface extraction problem, fundamentally. It's one of the great unsolved problems of computer graphics and having a good general algorithm would have massive ripple effects for any problem involving meshes.

IA actually has technical and moral reasons to ignore robots.txt. Namely, they want to circumvent this stuff because their goal is to archive EVERYTHING.
