I do want to point out, gaussian splats don't really offer anything in particular for realtime relighting, if anything it adds additional challenges. Under the hood, most implementations leverage spherical harmonics for baked-in lighti

I didn't say the consequences should be proportional, I said the responsibility (or blame); and profits derived should just be one part of the equation. Criminal consequences of a company collectively being responsible for the deaths o

I would seriously wonder how much you understand about proportions given the average nurse makes about 00.000002% of the $4.5 trillion in annual health care spending in the USA. I also didn't say that should be the only factor. Clearly

Responsibility for the actions of a company should be somewhat proportional to the amount of profit derived from said activities.

Trying to reduce a negative by pumping resources into a positive rarely works out as expected and often has surprisingly distortionary effects. (see ethanol and corn production in the USA) I’m personally of the opinion we should be doing fa

Yeah, this is one of the big issues with digital peer trust networks. Trust in human interactions is fuzzy and very conditional, which is hard to collect, represent, and update in a user friendly and low effort way. Hence we tend to collaps

You could just as easily say “people don’t matter, people are just a collection of cells. You can’t predict a person without understand how their cells behave”, which clearly is a ridiculous statement. Structure really matters, at all scale

This almost reads as satire, but I assume it’s low quality ai or just auto-generated content sourced from an FDA recall.

But it just simply is an argument against immigration, which we can totally have but which Is a different discussion. Unless you are suggesting that you want increased immigration, but for them not to be employed, which I think would be an

But the data evidence we are discussing doesn't show any squaring of your statement at all. The only thing it shows is that the the amount of foreign-born individuals has increased, and that they hold down jobs at essentially the same

Relightable Gaussian Codec Avatars are very, very far from your off-the-shelf splatting tech. It's fair to say that this paper is more about a way of generating more efficiently, but in the original paper from the codec avatars team (

Given the complete lack of any actual details about performance I would hazard a guess that this approach is likely barely realtime, requiring top hardware, and/or delivering an unimpressive fps. I would love to get more details though

Your wife's graph is massively misleading. Why would you choose to put two different scales on the y-axis when they are already in the same units? The reality of the data you linked to is that the 5 million job difference you claim is

That's clearly a false dichotomy, even the post you are replying to outlined a number of ways which an artist might supplement their income. Also the idea that a significant UBI would lead to people just coasting seems patently false.

5-6% of sales ABSOLUTELY matters. The biggest question is really will the majority of these purchasers substitute the absent "Mini" model with another iPhone model? If 90% of those users will just buy a different model then there

Regenerative braking is so far from being an innovation on Tesla's part. Regenerative braking as a technology has been around since 1886, and was even seen in some of the earliest electric cars at the end of the 19th century (krieger e

I'm confident they could come up with a filler eye animation algorithm that was convincing enough to pass muster for short periods of time. Even if hand coding something didn't quite work out, they certainly have tons of eye track

Is it just me, or is this bad statistics? With a small sample size and large numbers of personas / categories you would expect to see a positive bump, even if there was no statistical relationship between the persona and the preference

Searle's argument in the Chinese Room is horribly flawed. It treats the algorithm and the machine it runs on as the same thing. Just because a human brain embeds the algorithm within the hardware doesn't mean they are interchangea

Actually an additional point, If you read the report, the 80% failure rate claim does not come directly from this report, but links to the following article as it's source: https://fortune.com/2022/07/26/

Most of those non-AI projects are likely using well-established practices and technologies. From that perspective a 20% success rate seems pretty good to me.

An interesting note: > By some estimates, more than 80 percent of AI projects fail — twice the rate of failure for information technology projects that do not involve AI. So 60% general success rate vs 20% for an emerging technology that
