    I investigated a gradient-descent-based concept adjacent to this back in like 2023 [0] inspired by the original 3DGS paper, I was pretty happy with the results I got with back-to-f…

    Just cancelled mine after reading this comment, I only really cared about the bigger file uploads and the HD screen-sharing anyways and I can live without those. Now that I think o…

    I suppose both of us watched the same Youtube video by Metta Beshay (i think that is his name?)

    Heavy and chronic usage of cannabis is associated with some of these things. I think "plenty of evidence that marijuana can cause {effects}" is somewhat overstating the consensus o…

    "It's... a regional dialect." "What region?" "Er, upstate New York." "Really. Well, I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase '100M' to mean '100 thousand'" "Oh, no…

    I think some of the coolest changes in this release are on the nodes side of things — they added Closures (kinda like lambdas!), Bundles (tuples/structs, I guess?), and Repeat (loo…

    My favorite Spherical Minecraft-like gamedev project is PlanetSmith [0], which uses hexagonal voxels (and a few pentagonal voxels). The devlogs are very well produced and I highly …

    My favorite way to generate random points on a n-dimensional sphere is to just sample n times from a Gaussian distribution to get a n-dimensional vector, and then normalizing that …

    Have you kept up with recent ML papers like MindEye, which have managed to reconstruct seen images using image generator models conditioned on fMRI signals? Ever since that paper c…

    I second this recommendation, I've been listening to the Wanderstop OST on shuffle for over a month now and find it delightful. The sister album "Wanderstop FM", which contains tra…

    I feel a bit shaken after reading this comment, to be honest. I don't think I've ever heard someone so perfectly describe such a major component of my life experience. It's like yo…

    I think in casual speech at this point (at least in my experience) the two are used interchangeably. In professional or legal settings I'm sure the distinction matters more, but I …
