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-front alpha-blending and polar-coordinate gaussians for varia

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 of it, I bet I could host a decent instance of some open-sour

perhaps I shouldn't share my workaround, but I've found that Mullvad's Norway nodes consistently get past Reddit's IP-blocking :)

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 on the topic. Like many things in life, canna

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 (loops!) (already was in Geo Nodes, now it's in Shader

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 recommend checking them out. [0] https://youtube.

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 vector to the radius of the desired sphere.

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 came out, I (someone who works in ML but have no neuroimaging

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 tracks that play diagetically on the in-game rad

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 you read my mind. I was a "gifted kid&quot

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 feel like OP's usage here felt pretty natural to m

If they can manage to make good on their plans to open-source it, I'll breathe a tentative sigh of relief. I'm also rooting for them, but until they're open-source, I'm not willing to invest my own time into their ecosys

I love the look and feel of Nim, but found it to be stuck in a weird chicken-and-egg situation where it didn't have enough of a following to have a Convenient Package For Everything, ultimately turning me off it. Of course I recognize

Damn, this is a strikingly simple modification. Basically, modern deep learning optimizers typically calculate the update to the weights each step using some kind of momentum and/or LR scaling based on the running variance of the gradi

In a hilarious act of accidental satire, it seems that the AI-generated audio version of the post has a weird glitch/mispronunciation within the first three words — it struggles to say "GPT-4.5".

I don't think there is such a legal obligation, because videos like this one exist where devs do share the exact financials of their Steam releases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPMfcaUulYU

"Redesign Your Logo" was actually directly inspired by this exact brand redesign document, so your instinct is well-founded! Here's a transcript of the official Spirit Phone commentary track where Neil mentions it: https:&#x
