Not to belittle this or anything (it does look good and show promise), it feels like they somehow generate several consistent (but discrete) views of a given world, then feed all that to the good old pose estimation + gaussian splatting workflow. Whenever you leave the generated area (which isn't exactly huge on the few I tested) you get tell-tale signs of GS.

Yeah, if the entire point is that you can move around inside those worlds, I'd have expected a bit more "walkability" - maybe a few different viewpoints that each have their own Gaussian splatting? Right now, it dissolves pretty quickly once you change the location.

Yeah, it's more of a somewhat 3D-drawing of a frame that you can navigate inside, rather than a world up that happen to fit with whatever image you use as an input, but makes sense as a standalone world when you walk around. For being a "world" model, it doesn't seem to grasp physical space very well.

The interior scenes look and walks great, but any scenes with/in exteriors seems kind of bad.


This was my take as well — this is just pose estimation from generated stereo panoramic images.

It does work in Chrome with Amazon Luna, IIRC.

This, but with something oddly french about it, at least in the way it sounds.

As a native french speaker, no other language gives me that "why don't I understand what they say... oh, right, that's not my language!" feeling. Something with frequencies used, I suppose, but it always puzzles me.


Does that mean all of your appliances, which should supposedly each run on a separate line, now are all plugged on a big single-line powerstrip? Sure, this single-line is only used when battery and sun are out, but when it happens...


Since the inverter is 3 kW, and the battery is 2.5 kWh, you don't run many appliances off it. Hopefully it shifts your air cooler's peak of consumption away from the most expensive evening hours. You can probably cook at daytime directly from solar power.

When the battery is depleted, you, I suppose, just pull the plug from a battery-fed power strip, and push it into a regular socket.

I would put 3x the battery capacity, which would add about $500-600 to the cost.


What amount of VRAM is this supposed to work with?


Today… about 18-20GB.

Tomorrow… like 4GB if you have an hour.


> Today… about 18-20GB.

There's an FP8 version that's the default for the ComfyUI template that's in the release that just came out with Kontext support that I've seen reports of running in 12GB or less, and which I'm running at this moment in 16GB.


Could probably be (semi?)automated to run on 3d models of places that doesn't exist. Even ai-built 3d models.


The paper they’re basing this off already does this.

What's the point? You already have the 3d models. If you want an interactive video just use the 3d models.


Naive question here : how do we expect to collect thermal energy from it if we can't allow it to cool even a little ?


Neutron radiation doesn't get contained, and leaves the reactor easily carrying heat with it. That heat has to go somewhere, and so that's what we take energy from.


You can extract heat, in fact you'd have to extract it or let it leak out somewhere. The whole point of it is that it generates more energy than you put in, so energy has to come out somewhere for it to maintain stability.

Gp is just saying that if you cracked it open like an egg (or just had a minor leak even) all that would happen is it would stop fusing. The room this happened in would be a bad place to be, but it's just going to start a fire or something, not destroy the world.


Maybe that's where a project like Nuclide could step in? I'm always a bit confused between their projects' names, but I've read somewhere they had progress on the HL2 front.



Some people would very much want us to do that, though


I disagree strongly with them.

Thankfully, in order to "ban" email, they would have to painstakingly eliminate large swaths of the internet. That kind of thing is only possible if you have strong central control of entire nations.


Is this true for the Millenial Disks as well? Would somewhat defeat their purpose...
