   I'm always looking out for a lightweight nice touchscreen device with a sufficiently large screen for reading sheet music. The Gvido sheet music reader is discontinued (and was super expensive). Other eink displays are also super expen

   I want to love Framework badly but I'm not sure if the additional thickness and worse battery life is really worth it compared to a Macbook or linux-compatible high quality laptops like the Malibal Aon S1. The latter also lets you upgr

   True, it is an approximation after all. But it is a useful approximation since the main advantage of Gaussian splatting is the speed.

   Yes, but this is just the splatting/rendering part and not the optimization part that generates the reconstruction in the first place.

   In general, a Gaussian is no longer a true Gaussian after camera projection since the pinhole camera projection function is nonlinear (due to dividing by z). However, if the Gaussian is small relative to the size of the image, you can appor

   A lot of lidar companies also show rainbow-colored point clouds from a perspective close to that of the sensor. So silly...

    Yeah and having 600k high quality lidar points is better than having 40 million noisy stereo points. Honestly their depth map is so full of holes and artifacts, despite the fact that a depth map is the easiest way to hide poor quality (sinc

    Drawing lines around semantic segmentation, such as using Segment Anything [1] seems to make a lot more sense than just doing edge detection on image brightness. [1] https://segment-anything.com/

    On one hand, yes, a new family will be discovered. On the other hand, high temperature superconductors like YBCO are very brittle and it does limit the applications. Traditional liquid helium-cooled superconductors still have to be used in

    The recent additions to the Rome Metro were also built faster and cheaper compared to, say, the Central Subway in San Francisco, despite all the archaeological artifacts in Rome slowing down the digging.

    Hmm, I tried googling "00:00 / 17:02" youtube and none of the results were the right duration on both Chrome and Firefox. Any ideas?

    I was immensely disappointed when I googled "13 minute 39 second video" and then the Youtube video titled "13 minute 39 second countdown" was in fact 13 minutes and 54 seconds long.

    Tesla actually has automatic emergency braking which has contributed to its excellent scores on the Euro NCAP tests. Obviously, it might not work every time and you shouldn't rely on it, but generally Teslas are some of the safest cars

    The faster you go, the shorter you have to travel due to length contraction. So travelling really far distances is still possible, for example, by constant acceleration [1]. It's just that everyone you left behind will have been dead f

    microLEDs also have * better linearity * smaller size (that is, the light comes from a tiny pinpoint in the middle of the pixel rather than a whole rectangle being lit up). This actually helps make the display look a lot sharper.

    I wonder why? With CRTs there is noticeable flickering but no such issue happens with OLEDs. Is it just the contrast ratio?

    I really wish there was an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS. Yes, I'm aware of Yabai and others, but it's still not quite the same. Tiling apps bolted onto macOS's floating windows still feel sluggish, window decoratio

    The renderings look a lot prettier but the 3D structure seems not really good. Most nerfs use classical bundle adjustment (eg Colmap) as an initialization but this one does not, and the authors mention that they leave bundle adjustment for
