This is conflating splatting with more general pointcloud data. Splatting is fundamentally about viewing pointcloud data. That's great. But it doesn't deal with all the other functions virtual twins need pointclouds for (e.g. desi

When Gruen used it, it was about the shopping center itself definitely not 'items on a shelf' like many use it today. He wanted shopping centers to be like the a nice European town or city shopping street - self-contained shops ar

It sounds VERY California. "Its going great!" "Nice choice" "Whats up with the..." all within 10 seconds. (not that this is the most important thing about the announcement at all. Just an aside)

Turing wasn't a publicly known figure for many years until a campaign to give him some prominence and highlight the injustices done to him started to get some ground. There was a strong gay rights thread to this, which obviously didn&#

The animation is dominating the narrarive rather than assisting it. I (as many I assume) just want to skim the information and find myself stuck waiting for things to load or pathfinding algorithms to work. People keep flipping side to side

While there's lots of different models of open source, what I've seen most often is people setting it up first then selling themselves as gurus and support for major users with money. Often they live low overhead lives - not compe

For those looking for a clearer standard it's the International Terrestrial Reference System and Frame [0]. The better datums in use today are tied to a particular year (epoch) reference frame of this. For instance Australia's GDA

Generally areas of high humidity have low diurnal variation (its just as hot and wet at night as it is during the day), so unless you have A/C or similar, insulation/thermal mass will not do much as the heat and humidity will find

Yes. Conversely if programmers had to work like Architects they'd be paid a fraction, not get promoted to run serious projects until they are 50+, work copious unpaid overtime, not be allowed to work from home, be held legally liable f

Yes - iphone came out 2007 and Nokia was still the leading mobile phone company by sales in 2010, and Symbian had the largest OS share to 2012. In my view it was really the two big OS decisions they made - first in 2010 they ditched Symbian

iNaturalist is the other big one - covers all manner of life (not just birds) and much less US focussed. Though not as good as Merlin at ID and birders seem to be split on logging to iNat or eBird - many will log to both
