Sorting the gaussians is the compute heavy part in gaussian splatting. So, Im guessing this will give only marginal improvement in terms rendering speed.
I wonder if we can build a series of probes sent one after the other, which can communicate with relay network. Im sure we can reduce the power requirements for radio for each probe.
I have a feeling this feat is all about the budget requirements rather than technical feasibility.
This reminds me of the time we built a big angular3 codebase for a content platform. When we had to launch, the search engines were expecting content to be part of page html while we are calling APIs to fetch the content ( angular3 didn’t have server side rendering at that point)
So only plausible thing to do was pre-build html pages for content pages and let load angular’s JS take its time to load ( for ux functionality). It looked like page flickered when JS loads for the first time but we solved the search engine problem.
There is a temple in India called “Konark Sun Temple”, meant to be worship place of sun god.
It is built east-west to signify sun’s journey. The temple has a wheel sort of structure which kinda acts as sundial with minute level accuracy.
In India, difference in day time between winter and summer solstices is minimal ( 3.5 hours ), I guess it doesn’t signify anything major close to equator.
In my case, Learning new stuff is one place I see AI playing major role. Especially the academic research which is hard to start if you are newbie but with AI I can start my research, read more papers with better clarity.
Major issue I faced in this method is the network egress costs the cloud providers charge. I had to remind myself not to accidentally land on YouTube or some other video streaming sites.
Are there any cloud providers who don’t charge for network egress?
I just saw that some people on 4chan are organizing a mass booking of high-traffic route flights from India to stop some Indians from coming back. It feels like the visa process is politically weaponised for propagating racism.
I think the whole idea of shipping, at least within big tech, should follow slow rollouts starting with 0%. For example: Deploy an empty service in production with 0% rollout. Increment the rollout with each version deployed, including fixes of previous releases.
This may not be great for user experience but great for getting things up and running. Although, upper management will not be happy to see slow rollouts.
“Resnik- Halliday” and “IE Irodov” the two books changed physics for me. One simplified physics for everyday and made it relatable and one showed me how to think about solving physics problems.
P.S I mostly self taught physics for my own interest. Not sure if these books are under grad level.
Main reason for existence of lot of file formats is that enterprises don't want just about everyone access their files and modifying them. It greatly reduces the usage of their proprietary software hence their revenues.
I remember the days when open office trying to render doc file but formatting used to suck big time.
Open source softwares should leverage this kind of file formats for inter operating.
