What's the point of a photograph?

Tools exist to view architectural spaces in the same way a headset can without a headset? I'm slightly confused. Or maybe you think a headset doesn't add anything to the experience of viewing a space. If so, I'd have to ask w

It's not "rendering" with gaussian splats. It's more "training" (or "fitting"). And not knowing how much the usage vs compute ratio is, I would hesitate to comment. But knowing a little bit about gaus

It's a cropped area. Presumably to keep the bandwidth requirements down. Also limited to 60fps (I recall)

I don't care how many people want it. I personally never claimed it was going to be a huge mass market thing. It's big enough to be sustainable. Stupid claims by people trying to pump investment hype have no bearing on my interest

No. We're fairly normal actually.

They've relented on that now. There's a (somewhat limited) API for camera access.

It's just another way to record a time and place. No more different to a video than a video is to a photo. Just slightly more fidelity. It's a good thing. It's a nice thing. Chill. I get that there's reasons to be angry

False. This is just gaussian splats being queued up on a server somewhere

They are hardly comparable, whatever your politics.

What problem does what solve? Video generation models in general or Sora 2 specifically?

I've got used to immediately checking availability. In this case - iPhone app is US + Canada only and the website is invite only. Going back to sleep. Wake me up when it's available to me.

"in the US" FFS...

Wait. There's Codex support in the mobile app? But on iOS only? Ffs...

For general purpose computing - yes. For a thermostat, with presumably an attack surface that could be made arbitrarily small (albeit by removing non essential features) -why? Surely this means all embedded devices are a serious liability?

From my perspective that means "the entire US". I don't live there and I have no idea how to not break this law.

Between this and the UK Online Safety Bill, how are people meant to keep track? Launch a small website and commit a felony in 7 states and 13 countries. I wouldn't have known about the Mississippi bill unless I'd read this. How ar

> replaced with a slightly less salacious word than the original in consideration for politeness. Please don't. That offends me much more than a very mild word ever could.

The same Picasso that was notorious for churning them out towards the end of his career? I'm being slightly flippant but I do think this is a motte and bailey argument. Not even painting is a Guernica nor does it need to be. And not ev

I think I get "arsenic-free cauliflower" from context but searching brings up no sources. Did you coin that phrase or is my non-google-fu just weak?

I'm not sure that's supported by the science.

Maybe the idea is that developers can release standalone versions of their Roblox games and escape the platform lock-in? Of course - whether their audience will come with them is a different question.

This is addressed directly in the linked article. "Google" and "the Chrome team" are not the same entity.

Playing with things you barely understand sounds like perfect "hacker spirit" to me!

I think we're talking about different things. I'm referring to the "logical vs intuitive" character type distinction.

The left/right brain thing is pseudo-science and even worse - a false dichotomy. It's much more about cultural snobbery and cultural tribalism around which pursuits are regarded as "more worthy". Look up C.P. Snow's

Back in my school days it was on my route home and I used to break into the site (it was fenced off at the time). It felt so mysterious and strange. Headless statues, vast empty terraces - the old high level station ticket hall passed unde

There's Github issues mentioning windows so someone is trying to build it. But yeah - I need to bounce between multiple OS so I avoid tools that don't run on all major desktop platforms.

The trouble with sarcasm is that it's hard to discern the point you actually wanted to make. Presuming you had one.
