After seeing so many failed file system projects at vmware, I was pretty skeptical when I first heard about APFS. The fact it succeeded with so little noise just blew me away. It proves apples has the best system engineers in the world toda

The most interesting part is the funding came from Japanese motorboat racing profit. Imaging if we could funnel profit from NFL to benefit science or local communities.

Here is a paper if you are interested. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.13681.pdf The key is not to compress but to leverage the property of neural radiance fields and optimize for entropy. I suspect NERF can yield more comp

Mesh based photogrammetry is a dead end. GS or radiance field representation is just getting started. Not just rendering but potentially a highly compact way to store large 3D scenes.

I can explain it with higher dimensional turbulence. Where is my Nobel.

I would suggest getting the teachers to put up a catalogs of frequently asked questions to help with seo, and charge for custom videos.

I'm not sure if Dust3r can produce better poses than colmap given the number of photos you need to properly train GS.

If you are in neuroscience I would recommend looking into neural radiance fields rendering as well. I find it fascinating since it's essentially an over-fitted neural network.

Pro: less likely to mixup orders since the order is encoded into the plate. Con: running out of condiment could be a show stopper.

I did that once and got another ticket for "abandonment" and almost got towed.

People often can't see their blind spot so I'm going to try one more time to explain this. This has nothing to do with "national security". If it did Swedish government would have rescued Volvo along with Saab when it wa

You are saying "national security" out loud and it's dogwhistle for xenophobic nationalism. Taking a company that's being successfully turned around in the name of national security is wrong.

Ford drove Volvo into the ground before selling it Geely. While I agree CPP needs to be kept at arms length, sentiment like this is pure nationalist dog whistle.

If it follows the smartphone market trend, Tesla will hold the premium segment while Korean and Chinese wipe the floor. Sadly the days of Japanese manufacturing dominance are over.

It's a pretty common technique for cooking rice noodles but it never occurred to me to try it with pasta. Thanks for posting this!

It would have worked if China didn't have deep pool of engineers and fundings to backup multi decade R&D projects. We are going to look back at this and realize it's a strategic mistake.

Meta also let Facebook rot. Didn't come up with anything competitive against TikTok. Couldn't monetize Whatsapp and turn it into a superapp like WeChat. There are just failures on every front.

"Class A" players answer call to rid the world of fossil fuel and explore deep space. There's nothing meaningful or productive about Twitter.

It's unsettling Musk is going to control the biggest political megaphone of this country.
