⚠ The most important NeRF project I've seen since Zip-NeRF! ⚠ This team solved a plaguing problem that I run into: NeRFing long, linear, forward-facing image sets! Now I can NeRF alleyways and streets! The trick here is 2-fold 1️⃣ Creating multiple-local radiance fields along the camera path. 2️⃣ Progressively determine camera poses in the local radiance fields The results show for themselves! Now, to dive into the code this weekend and see if I can get it to work on my end... 📝 Paper: lnkd.in/gtdHJ47r 🌐 Website: localrf.github.io/ 💻 Code: lnkd.in/ggGkYerr #Computervision #3D #AI #neuralnetworks – at Salem, OR

Legacy transformation isn’t the sexiest type of work but if done well…will not only make it easier to iterate with but also will accelerate time to market like never before See it as foundational and stepping stones vs tech debt. Mindset matters 💯 – at Irvine, CA

ChatGPT is not a search engine, there are no attached sources, context & liability, it's information digested from the internet, there is bias & misinformation (& no promotion of fact-checking). In my view, it is irresponsible to incentivize people to use it as a research tool >>

I’m growing our team at @arrayvc. Most people I feel qualified to hire go on to start their funds. So I’m the lucky charm! You should interview with me because who knows you might also be inspired to start your own! That’s why I started Array to empower people. If she can do it so can I & hey it’s working! 💕💕💕 I have to decide if I feel they are qualified to have my capital as an LP next!

Finally, NYT obscures the journalism by outlets across the country that debunked Walgreens shoplifting stories of the past two years and demonstrated that it was a fraud perpetrated by the company to provide an excuse for business decision to close stores.

@dankvr deserves the credit for the Avalon nodes. I found one on a rpi in a box from 6 years ago, booted it up and it worked perfectly. Felt like unearthing a time capsule. hackaday.io/project/5077-met…

The duopoly has only grown since then. Today, Dollar General and Dollar Tree have more than 34,000 US outlets - more than #Starbucks, #Walmart, #McDonalds and #Target - *combined*. Destroying a community's grocery store rips out its heart. 18/

Our new study of the #BeirutPortExplosion conducted with @FebrayerNetwork uses leaked documents, OSI and fire dynamics simulations to cast doubt on the widespread claims that shoddy work by Syrian welders caused the fire which triggered the deadly blast. 🧵youtu.be/Y7dy8n0e0ZY
