One of my many side projects was a thing called ODO .. linux box hooked up to the TV, running a web browser provided and intranet web page where you can browse media and files tree and thus share files. Could also use it to play media - so

I feel the same frustration, seen from another angle : I think we can use current ML techniques to solve 3 or 4 hard problems in 3D reconstruction, and doing so would unlock a vast amount of value - we could turn lidar scans and photos of b

My take, after working on some algos to detect geometry from pointclouds, is that its solvable with current ML techniques, but we lack early stage VC funding for startups working on this : https://quantblog.wordpress.com/202

busywork ... but maybe good marketing - people somehow believe that ISO has some relationship to quality.

From my vantage point wrangling algos to extract 3D geometry from pointclouds - I really think this is a domain where ML can solve the missing pieces of the puzzle in the next 18 months. The new tech will unlock a lot of value, but we need

Basically true, but there are other potential sources of growth : - using technology to unlock cheaper energy - using technology to automate boring manual labor - using technology to extend healthy lifespan Given the demographics collapse

Before I read the article, Ill summarize the facts that seem to be hard and true about climate : - we are nearing or at +1.5C above pre-industrial baseline - human carbon burning CO2 emissions are at a max and likely long plateau - mean tem

I think Oxide should be renting out time on their hardware racks, as well as selling them to big orgs. Oxide looks to be superb engineering up and down the whole stack, and if it drives more rust code into linux all the better. Now that lin

Any hypothesis for why eating only one thing would solve IBD ? Would that select for a particular biota / micro-fauna environment ? or cause less mechanical / chemical inflammation ? glad it worked in your case.

afaict, the situation can be roughly summarized as : - global climate is warming by around +0.3C per decade - its caused mainly by humans burning carbon chains for energy, emitting CO2 - we are currently sailing thru +1.5C above pre

short answer yes .. I tried a _lot_ of approaches, many worked partially. I think I linked to a YT video screencast showing edges of planes that my algo had detected in a sample pointcloud ? Efficient re-meshings are important, and its wor

I kind of did a version of what you suggest - I think I linked to a video showing plane edges auto-detected in a pointcloud sample. Similarly I use another algo to detect pipe runs which tend to appear as half cylinders in the pointcloud, a

ps. its handy to compare the relative data sizes of [ models of ] the same scene : typically for something like a house, the data will be ballpark : - 15GB of pointcloud data ( 100Mn xyzRGB points from a lidar laser scanner ) - 3 GB

yeah, see my other comment. To me its totally obvious that we will have a plethora of very valuable startups who use RL techniques to solve realworld problems in practical areas of engineering .. and I just get blank stares when I talk abou

makes sense - humans have evolved a lot of wetware dedicated to 3D processing from stereo 2D. I've made some progress on a PoC in 3D reconstruction - detecting planes, edges, pipes from pointclouds from lidar scans, eg : https:/

any group strategy to push back against the overuse of whole-page captchas ? Do we all need to run an AI browser plugin now that auto-fills cloudflare captchas ?

I have similar questions - think open source funding is an important and unsolved problem. Under an ideal economy and politics, we might use taxation to fund OpenSource projects that are in the public interest : just as we used tax to build

Perhaps the difference between a religion and a cult is that you can leave a religion. Likewise .. if you can get your data in a standard format and walk away, you are not locked-in. Customers tend to feel less aggrieved when they have acce
