May I ask how you got started? What is the tech stack you are using today? Any resources you can recommend?

Because not everything in the scene is static and the entire rest of the pipeline works with triangles.

That video's amazing because the part of the UE5 demo I can't wrap my head around is where Nanite magically turns 1 billion triangles of source art to 20 million triangles of rendered art, per frame. I was wondering about that t

What is most mind-boggling about this recent rally is that basically all the major indices are back to where they were Q2/Q3 of 2019. The Nasdaq is even back to January 2020 levels. Therefore, the market apparently believes that the en

Cool! The contact form on the website should work, but you can also check the team page and use firstname at dot... dot com as an email address :)

Yes, we're getting there. Of course a > $50k laser scanner will still outperform it in terms of accuracy but the new generation of depth sensors (e.g. Intel RealSense L515) is really quite good. We're going to announce support

Btw, super shameless plug: If you're looking for 3D capture where photogrammetry doesn't work well (indoors, complex environments) you may find Dot3D ( https://www.dotproduct3d.com/dot3dpro.html ) quite helpful. It

Impressive!

I'd be very interested in a comparison Meshroom vs. RealityCapture (which seems to become the standard in non-free photogrammetry).

True for about 90% to 95% of interactions but the reason I still find this idea very problematic as it is easily used an excuse by all sorts of sociopaths, narcissists and power addicts that their behavior is somehow ok because it's ei

Most of us (non-sociopaths) don't get to choose our enemies though. They choose us.

You can apply calculus to estimate the stepsize you need for the current iteration. If you do this in a principled way then my results suggests that for linear regression you may only need one gradient calculation. Yes, it's called L

True, but note that in many cases the goal is not absolute security but rather making it as inconvenient as possible for someone to circumvent the licensing. In some cases the licensing security is even weak by design, e.g. Windows 95 or th

Sorry for my ignorance, but wouldn't that be an indication of, you know, fraud? And if it were, would it even matter if it were Google's bots or someone else's? I never really understood how Google could ever guarantee that a

Macroeconomics. Central banks are "creating" a trillion here, a trillion there, like nobody's business. But what are the consequences? What is the thought process that central bankers have gone through to make these decisions

Hey, thanks for your comment! This definitely makes sense. I just wonder how they are able to gather this location data. From my naive point of view, most people have their phones on standby in their pockets with GPS turned off most of the

When the bond matures it's either paid back or rolled over to a new bond or the debtor defaults. There is no fourth option.

The balance sheet can be unwound simply by waiting for the bonds to expire, then the money goes poof out of existence the same way it poofed into existence. How would that work? The money's been created and has been put into the econ

Can anyone here explain how Foursquare's business works? It seems like they are capitalising on location data that they gather from devices, but AFAIK the Foursquare and Swarm apps are pretty much dead. So how exactly are they getting

There are too many problems with the AV industry to detail here: the professorial pace at which most teams work, the lack of tangible deployment milestones, the open secret that there isn’t a robotaxi business model, etc. Just curious, wh

I'm not a lawyer, but as far as I know expired US patents enter the public domain. After their expiration the described invention can be freely used by anyone for any purpose [1]. So I think the answers to your questions are yes and no

Love the concept & the idea! But why did go for MacOS / Swift instead of something cross-platform, such as Electron or Qt? Many devs outside of SV aren't using Macs.

This problem is further exacerbated by the fact that we go through traditional education by default. A system that’s not designed to teach independent thinking but rather to reward obedience and implementing rules. Not only this, but it b

Please excuse the newbie questions but would I be able to use this in a WYSIWYG framework like Webflow or Weebly or Wordpress? How about compatibility with React? Or is this the land of "bare metal" HTML+JS+CSS?
