With the amount of synthetic content that is already on the internet, and with even more to come, I think we'll unfortunately need to find a way to automatically filter that content to only what is really relevant to us. People are usi

Arguably Google is the company that triggered that paradigm shift by publicly sharing (some of) their work on AI like the transformer/attention paper. So if anything they were ahead of the curve in terms of research. They're also

That's right. They use a fully differentiable renderer, which allows them to optimize the properties of this set of 3D gaussians using back propagation / gradient descent. But ultimately what they end up with is an explicit repres

If everyone can share a small fleet of self driving vehicles, they don’t need to take up a lot of space at all. I’m assuming you were talking about parking space; I don’t see how self driving cars would take up significantly more space than

That's a very big assumption you're making. Not saying it's necessarily false, but I think it's probably wise to remember you're literally commenting on a platform run by a venture capital company. It doesn't t

So it’s pretending to be an average human, and the average human gets it wrong a lot? I wonder if you can improve coding results by telling it to act as an expert programmer?

Or, you know, maybe companies could just respect the laws in the countries in which they do business. And if they disagree with those laws, they can either ignore them and pay the fine, or simply choose to not do business in those countries

Do you have some numbers on how fast this actually is? I know it’ll be hard to give specifics, but is this fast enough to convert a somewhat complex sdf into a mesh in (near) real-time? Could you for example build a modelling app around thi
