I don’t think many people would have thrown the OZO up to take cute panoramas though, as it went for something like $60,000.. At the time (~2017), the OZO was the benchmark quality-wise, and it hit the community pretty hard, when Nokia canc

Throwable 360 cameras owe their heritage to Jonas Pfeil, who built one for his thesis at TU Berlin [0], and later commercialized the idea in a camera called Panono [1]. They never really went mainstream, but it was a really cool idea with l

OP here, what I'm actually using is "{first}.{last}@hhi.fraunhofer.de" ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.13299 ). I see how my earlier comment was confusing. In our case it's for saving space in the paper,

Hey alphaxiv, you won’t let me claim some of my preprints, because there’s no match with the email address. Which there can’t be, as we’re only listing a generic first.last@org addresses in the papers. Tried the claiming process twice, noth

This seems to be the most important problem to be solved for a green, future grid. So I’m happy there’s a new solution shown every other month. It’s annoying that they always seem to contain some hand-wavy efficiency calculations. I think t

Just had GPT-4o roast me, based on my HN profile bio and recent comments. (Would anybody care to build a Show-HN out of this?). Giving it lots of actual written stuff (I put a lot of thought into), not just project names, makes it cut so mu

Oh wow, thanks for looking it up. I stand corrected! Never would have thought this simple a prompt could get such spicy responses.

When I tried it, the response felt somewhat canned. Referencing as specifics only my place of work and the number of followers (I don't have a bio). Getting super generic praise does not feel that great. It's a fun project (kudos

Haha, thanks for posting, that brought me a lot of joy running on my profile. It must have an awesome prompt. The praise one felt quite cringy, so I was happy that at least the roast didn't take any prisoners: > Sounds like you’re t

Using as little computational resources (memory and/or FLOPS) as possible as an additional optimization criterion when training NNs is an interesting avenue. I think the current state of pre-trained model families is weird. Take Llama

These SIGGRAPH results are always so pretty. Shame it's only a trailer of a few methods, and not the full papers fast-forward session. Would be awesome to have that on YouTube.

That makes sense. Funnily enough I had kind of an inverse problem building the https://3dgs.zip/ landing page, or linking to the project from elsewhere - I’d point a link to the compression survey with the link text “survey

My point was that the person fooled by https://foo.zip/ would have been also fooled by https://foo.com/bar.zip , so the existence .zip wouldn’t change much. But now I’ve understood that the auto-linkificatio

Yep, I checked other, established .zip domains. Finding one was quite a hard task, which gave me pause. I found a link shortener site on some Google promotional page for .zip (.zip is a Google-TLD). Accessing any .zip url was denied on the

Ah that makes a lot more sense as an attack vector. Thanks for explaining! Indeed, checking a list of common .zip file names, most of them are registered domains. Uhhh.

I have a story on using weird/fishy/phishy TLDs: Recently my colleagues and I started collecting information on all the available compression methods for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS, a popular method for 3d scene representation).

Is (Python) debugging on the roadmap somewhere for Zed, or will this remain out of scope? I have a fast editor in Sublime already, but I’d consider jumping ship from VS Code to Zed if I can set some breakpoints and look at local variables a
