   re: parallelization, could a crude 3Dfft-based postprocessing achieve a slightly improved result relative to the current splat-ish approach while still being a fast-running approximation? i.e. train a very small ML model on various camera p

    Protip: since halving and doubling are the same logarithmic distance on either sides of unity, and the logarithmic distance of 2.0 to 5.0 is just a tiny bit larger than that of doubling, this means that you can roughly eyeball the infra-dec

    How about simulation programs that are impure, i.e. those which include I/O in its loop? After all, taking the Turing-completeness analogy further, while a machine that satisfies said criterion is capable of universal computation, ac
