This doesn't explain why energy costs are higher in Germany. You have to replace the words "Alice" and "Bob" with something that is relevant to the topic at hand.

I mean higher than in other countries with less solar energy, like France, which has mostly nuclear.

This seems highly doubtful. If solar saves money, why does Germany (with a lot of solar) have higher rather than lower energy prices?

So he is rewriting the past without any visible indicator that he did so, and with the original publication date. That's deceptive and borders on unethical.

Related story: I recently watched a new video by a well-known YouTuber whom I was subscribed to for years. Something was off with the video: the script sounded like LLM slop. It sounded as if the author provided some bullet points on the ma

We are living in a crazy science fiction world where on the top of the HN frontpage there is an article on how LLMs work which is likely itself LLM generated, and the only way to tell is its writing style rather than its factual accuracy.

What happens if there is disagreement about whether something is an acronym or initialism? For example, Europeans usually treat ESA as an acronym and US Americans as an initialism. I just searched the BBC and it is inconsistent, sometimes E

Oh cool, so the camera wasn't just on 1D "rails", it was on a 2D plane. I never before heard of a game (pre-rendered or photographed) which did that. Impressive.

I'm still hoping we could collectively agree that it's childish to view technologically superior Velcro as childish, and then replace shoelaces with Velcro.

Cube mapping a video sounds plausible, this is commonly known as 360° video. Putting the camera on rails (though I don't really notice rails in this case) and tying the video playback speed to the speed of the rail movement has also be

Any idea on how they achieved this?

I didn't know there was a game. The movie is great, but it focuses on the crime plot and unfortunately leaves most of the historical/philosophical/linguistic meat out, which is not surprising when you compress a 500 page book

It's going to be even more impossible to find now because the present paper introduces "Gaussian point splatting".
441.
by cubefox 5mo ago
Their point splatting method is orthogonal to level-of-detail rendering (they reference a few papers which try to do this), so both point splatting and LoD could be combined in the future for an even greater performance gain during renderin

Wouldn't it be much more convenient then to buy a VR headset which actually follows your head movements because it's physically head mounted? Not to mention that it provides a stereoscopic view of the scenery. I guess the price is

Wouldn't it be better to use head tracking to get the position of the head relative to the monitor, so the monitor behaves like a window? Like in Johnny Lee's classic Wii demo [1]. The way it currently works (rotating the view upo

There is no "2D text" processing when it comes to LLMs. They process text as ordinary, sequential 1D text only. And humans process "2D text" like any other 2D image. So 2D text isn't really a thing in any case. Sayi
