Well, the approach currently doesn't apply to architectures being used in practice, and it's not clear, at least to me, if it can scale to large datasets.

It might also be possible to solve a corresponding convex optimization problem, similar to https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.03382.pdf

Gaussian splats are like 3 months old. They currently can't be relit, and there's currently no way to turn them into a mesh+texture. If/when either of those problems can be solved, I certainly would expect them to be used in

Could you? What enforces only a single thread having access to a given reference? What about global variables?

I read something about this recently. Clouds indeed reflect sunlight, but they also trap IR radiation from the surface that otherwise would make it out in to space. The clouds also radiate IR into space, but the higher the clouds, the coole

Interesting review, thanks for sharing. There's no doubt that there are dimensions along which sugar and cocaine are different, but your conclusion is unsubstantiated, IMO. The paper's conclusion is much more restrained: > Give

This is a very nice summary, especially for those of us who cannot read Korean. Thank you. If you posted it as a top level comment, it might get some more visibility.

Nice. I was wondering if something like this is possible a few days ago. The next step would be somehow extending the discrete->continuous concept to layers.

When the model doesn't fit, add an extra free parameter! Seriously though, I wonder what the ramifications to other parts of astrophysics would be if this is true.

What processes/procedures are in place to prevent polls like this from being completely fabricated? Why should I trust this data any more than a tobacco company's studies showing it's perfectly safe to smoke cigarettes?
