@bsletten Have you seen Kneecap? I think you would appreciate it. I knew nothing going in and I recommend it that way (just be prepared for a whole lot of profanity, drugs, sex, violence, and Irish politics… okay, so knowing a *little* Irish politics helps). It’s entirely unique; absurd, serious, and a lot more self-aware than it seems at first glance.
@schwa and it should probably be taking the mandatory workplace training instead too
@schwa if AI’s doing the work AI should be creating the goals right?
Somewhere, an Amazon PM is seeing a spike in wishlist engagement and is pumping their fist
@schwa ditto. Just the opening credits song coming up on my playlist makes me smile.
@schwa I hadn’t been informed Mackenzie Crook had a new show. Guess I’ll just have to get a British passport now.
@tylerstone then I’m not seeing the problem
@tylerstone you cooked it first… right?

You lost 10%. You lost another 10%. Wait, now you've gained 10% - and now you've gained another 11%!

How much did you gain total?

Wrong. You lost 1.1%.

(This has either been about performance optimizations or about stocks)

It's amazing how 3DGS rendering found a local minimum nearly right out of the gate. Plenty of improvements on the training side, but the core rendering pipeline is mostly still nearly identical to the original paper.

Case in point, I got carried away and used claude to try out a few experiments to reducing popping: a hybrid sorting + mini-OIT, and blending splats which overlap along the viewing direction. Neither panned out, but satisfying to try.
