The Quest 3 cannot do that, its depth sensor is far too low resolution to scan a face with a good fidelity level. Unfortunately, it also means the quest 3 probably will probably never be very good at dynamic occlusion in mixed reality (ie:

I totally agree with your assessment, Nerf and Gaussian are much more interesting and I'm sure they will be huge in the future. But I don't think it will ever be easy to capture a clean scene randomly, at least not with anything

It would be a terrible experience for most users. It would not be like a 360 video where you can direct your gaze in the direction you want. It would be a stereoscopic 110 degrees videos where the viewpoint keeps changing to follow the orig

And it is getting faster... Consider that it's been 229 days since Mistral AI was founded and they have open models rivalling the OpenAI models.

If the model is closed and served through an API, probably not. But at the moment Mistral seems to focus on smaller and efficient models that you can fine-tuned and run on your own infrastructure. Mistral 7b was free but if they come up wit

There was also this project that was posted a couple days ago: https://blog.metaphysic.ai/controllable-deepfakes-with-gauss... Why they call a virtual avatar a deepfake beats me though....

The paper and effect is really cool but I feel calling it "a deepfake" is very clickbaity. They are demonstrating a tech that allow to animate a photorealistic avatar model of someone. It's similar to what Zuckerberg demonstr

I think it's fair to argue than using modern value for goods that you can produce more efficiently thanks to the availability of cheap energy and phosphate is not really fair. 750 sheeps or 1200 gallons of olive oil were certainly wort

It depends on your battery capacity. With a 50-60kwh battery, you will get less than 200 km from 80% to 20% at highway speed, which could render necessary to charge to 100% to get safely to the next charger in a situation where the charging

Everyone's grandma has heard about ChatGPT by now. My hairdresser told me she uses it. You can bet that no participant in the original study had heard about computer software capable of simulating a conversation, let alone ELIZA itself

by lelag 3y ago
It's quite absurd to assert that ELIZA from 1966 outperformed GPT-3.5. Sure, it deceived 27% of the participants at the time, but that was largely because those participants were unaware that such a program could exist. I would bet goo

Interesting... Then choosing the best codecs might depends on the specific use case and the amount of motion in particular. I have a 3080 so I hadn't the chance to test AV1 yet. Is the latency difference significant as reported by VD ?

by lelag 3y ago
I would add that broader AV1 support is also a good news for low latency application like Cloud gaming or streaming to VR headsets. HW accelerated encoding/decoding improve upon HEVC on every metrics so you can get near real-time strea
