Holy emoji batman! Shirt shells? Tree stump solids? Knot rods? I have no idea what any of those mean.
The LLM knows.
ZOZO's Contact Solver for physics-based simulations

#32For those that don't know, ZOZO is a tech-forward clothing designer/retailer.
Several years back, they sent me a special spandex shirt/leggings combo, black with spaced white dots. Then you use their app to take many photos of yourself, and they have a profile of your body to be used for automatic fitting.
The shirt they eventually sent did fit well, but wasn't anything special several years ago.
This shows that they are still at it, and as someone that hates shopping for clothing, I hope this is a sign that the dream of a custom tailored fit at a mass production price is getting nearer.

If they ever get liquidated I wonder who's going to end up with that massive dataset of photos of people looking like a tit.
Or perhaps they'll pivot..

#34What value do all the emojis provide?
I'm still wondering how people find emojis to insert into their texts. Do they scan the list of emojis to find something suitable for each place in the text? Or maybe they memorized a lot of emojis, they know they exist and it is sort of automatic: you write text and the idea pops up to insert an emoji that I discovered some time ago?
I hope that it is closer to the latter, because I'd kill myself if I was forced to look for emojis so much. From other hand to memorize dozens (hundreds?) of different emojis doesn't seem fun either.

I think you may be in the vast minority here. People born after 1990 grew up using emoji and most keyboards show your top ~25 most used emojis, floated to the top, and keyboards offer search function, this was a largely solved problem by 2014, over a decade ago.

#36This seems to be the relevant Two Minute Papers with a very quick explainer. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VOORiyip4_c
Was Two Minute Papers always so sensationalistic or is that a recent change? I remember seeing the videos many many years ago, and don't recall him being so overly enthusiastic and borderline sensationalistic, like this video seems to be. Even the title of the video is straight up clickbait ("The Worst Bug In Games Is Now Gone Forever") since the context is all wrong, the metrics on the top left even shows "time/fram…

Before his channel exploded in popularity, it was similar but much more genuine and less formulaic and extreme. At some point he started to just sound like the LLM output conditioned on his earlier videos with fake excitement forced into every single sentence and I unsubscribed.
It's a shame because the papers he covers are fascinating but I can't stand his fakeness and pretend-excitement anymore. I also miss when he included more explanations of the algorithms and less throwbacks to previous videos.

Nobody is writing papers or webpages on mobile virtual keyboards (I hope).

Ah. I see. I replace the virtual keyboad on Android with something else instantly, to get rid of autocorrect and other anti-features. Probably doing that I lose my chance to appreciate the ways of people born after 1990.

I kind of assumed the text was created or at least edited by AI, so the emojis were added automatically.

What's wrong with that statement? FEM is a good way to handle deformables, but it isn't the only way, so it a fine statement.
It's used as a claim of physical accuracy, but it's not related to that.
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but isn't FEM used in physics engines because it is an good approximation for the underlying physics? For example, I believe the Drake Physics engine uses FEM to model deformable materials relating to vehicle crashes at Toyota
