Their logic can be understood: make a good product, and the rest will catch up. But in real life marketing and hype really matters, and when everyone does these things while you naively sit and code, they get an advantage in the market, an

What you're describing is a malicious user using AI as a tool, not a malicious AI. Big difference.

Mostly agree with the article but cringed a bit when I read this: > This subtlety led to more than one case where I didn't understand why a component didn't update. ... In the end I found it was difficult to determine reliably

This week I wrote and filed a complete patent application for a side project of mine all by my own for the first time. I've done some patents in the past but those were through my employers and using patent attorneys to do the drafting

This is getting very close to actual field survey work and IMO the best app, by a mile, to carry out the scanning part in this kind of setting is Dot3D. It's basically been built for larger-scale capture and reliable loop-closure. Here

It's bad and yes, the world would be much better off without SUVs, but with headlines like these it's important to put things in perspective. Road transport related emissions are just 12% of total emissions [1]. Emissions from SUV

I wish it was this easy. I wish there were short cuts. 1. I had a business partner once who has a wife that I do think highly of, and who made me ignore a million red flags. But at the end of the day he turned out to be the exact sc*mbag th

The distinction that the OP is looking for is generative vs. discriminative inference. Generative inference: We know the process that generates our observed data and can model it to sufficient precision, s.t. we can establish a forward synt

even if you got that knowledge in a way that cannot possibly have physically affected the system. How can that be possible? Any examples?

Maybe it's because I'm not very experienced with web development but I have a hard time wrapping my head around this and unfortunately the tutorials didn't enlighten me either. How is this used on a very high level? Is this a

These sorts of images do compress quite ok though (pun intended) with PNG.

by rsp1984 4y ago
Fair enough. In our testing we couldn't get it to compression ratios lower than ~90% on the kind of images we tested (low quality webcam-type sensors, sub-VGA resolution), while it achieved very impressive compression ratios on the dem

There are a lot of dimensions on which QOI could be improved, but most cases involve trade-offs, e.g. more complexity for better compression. The areas where QOI could have been strictly better, the dimensions on which it is not on the Par

Sounds challenging but in fact this is only playing on intermediate difficulty! The real fun begins when you want a GmbH as a subsidiary of a foreign parent company (HQ is in the US for example). Now no bank will accept you as a business

The problem with such an approach would be that NERFs require a set of input images with their exact poses and exact poses are only available if the underlying geometry is static. However if you use SD to generate new views it's only

Call me crazy but I think long term (10 years +) the Intel strategy of fabricating chips domestically is the correct choice. There's a ton of geopolitical pressure in this direction. The US simply doesn't want to be dependent on T

There are now many 3D LiDAR scanning apps out there and IMO Polycam is actually one of the weaker ones. My personal favourites are Scaniverse and Dot3D (which is currently in open Beta).

Excellent, thanks. It'd already help if you put this answer on the readme page verbatim.

What I don't understand about this example with Hyperion is a) Wouldn't Hyperion's orientation be influenced much more by Saturn and its many moons on their many orbits than by dust and photons? b) Wouldn't it then boil

Congratulations, this looks intriguing! I am somewhat familiar with Ceres and GTSAM. Can you explain how it differs from these? What are the key features of SymForce that make it stand out?
