Trivia: Claude Shannon proposed the idea of predicting the next token (letter) using statistics/probabilities in the training data corpus in 1950: "Prediction and Entropy of Printed English"…
This really resonates. I am in the CS academia and I feel like I am losing "friends" who used to share the same values and social identity with me at an unprecedented speed. I wonder if it is possible to gather people…
It reminds me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIFty-O4rOE TLDR: amazing things can happen, and people are actually nice in this kind of environment!
It could in theory. The model generates a depth image per frame, so each pixel becomes a small 3D point. It also assumes that the 3D scene is static. From this, you can then simply register all the frames into a huge 3D…
The same Cornell group has done more research in this area. Here is one for capturing the microgeometry of metals https://www.cs.cornell.edu/Projects/metalappearance/ Here's another paper from a different group on…
It's interesting to see the trend of the attitude towards GenAI in Hacker News through out the years. This is totally vibe based and I don't have numbers to back it up, but back in 2022-2023, the site was dominantly…
When Fortran came out, I don't think a lot of people yelled at the assembly programmers and told them "learn Fortran or be replaced".
also "They will get better in no time"
Discussed in another thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41234415 As someone who has worked on diffusion model, it's a clear reject and not a very interesting architecture. The idea is to train a diffusion model…
I am a graphics researcher who has been following your blog posts on your GPU vector graphics engine. I've been benefitted by your posts and I think some of the vector graphics renderer designs you discussed in your…
Check out our recent work on improving image vectorization using gradient descent: https://people.csail.mit.edu/tzumao/diffvg/
Also a self-plug: our differentiable renderer "redner" also has a bunch of Jupyter notebook tutorials: https://github.com/BachiLi/redner
