I'm very curious of your setup. Do you use wine to cross-compile your windows binaries?

Yeah I used regular as a shorthand but nostly I meant that it would flip edges to avoid thin triangles.

While the stereographic prohection trick sounds neat, it looks like it could produuce a bad triangulation if the input points are distributed non-uniformly. Indeed the 2d Delaunay triangulation algorithm tries to build the most uniform tria

> We represent angles as a int16_t or uint16_t where you can add and subtract angles and never have to worry about a discontinuity at 2pi because 2pi=65536. Not sure I get your trick, 2pi=6.2832 so I don't see how you avoid accumula

This kind of visualization is useful to understand why filming an actor in front of a green screen makes sense for special effects. If you look at such an image, you will have two clusters of pixels, one for the green screen, and one for th

You're right, there are lots of problems where a simpler abstraction is possible. But I don't think my argument applies to human intelligence, it just means that human intelligence is what you can get with all the data points you

Lots of points can be reduced to the ability to simulate a physical environment very fast, and much faster than the actual occuring of events. But it doesn't look like it's easy to simulate physics at high speeds, let alone faster

> Can someone explain this in a way so that an ordinary mortal computer scientist can understand it? I'll try. Instead of the common approach that tries to search for image pixels to minimize e.g. a denoising objective, they realize

Yes, but if you read the paper you'll see that he's talking about tightening the gap between the Deep Learning approaches and the current features + geometry state of the art, which is an order of magnitude more precise. DL approa
