Today, I did some aerial photogrammetry from a plane!

Due to the cabin being tight and my cam’s viewfinder disp. not rotating, i had to get clever. Using the HDMI input on my @FatsharkRC FPV goggles, I had a clean feed of my camera, which worked super well!

@vikasreddy @pitdesi @AdamNeumann I think it might be that + but be even less conspiratorial

The saudis KNOW that they’re being asked pay for these horrible investments because they know its the cost of doing business (oil + defense)

Aw snap!!! Someone on Reddit put 3DGS on an old iPod Nano. This blows my mind. Just a couple years ago this required high end GPU.

@willdepue @joshuawolk @LukeFarritor Hell yeah

@davidsven Having said that, MRB root when???

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

@davidsven Reverse engineering and rooting has basically calmed the uneasiness regarding modern electronics with lots of web dependencies becoming future paperweights

Located northwest of the ancient agora, the Church Cistern is one of Dara’s largest surviving cisterns, with a capacity of 2,000 m³ and a height of approximately 15 meters.

@SadlyItsBradley @feather_58 Very creative

Cutting floaters off of Gaussian Splats like this is unironically a really meditative experience!

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

@IRCSS Hell yeah

Also, alt + middle click to set the camera rotation center at your cursor my dude

@PabloVerano @Linphone1 So cool!

Fable 5.2 implemented MCP for Gracia Studio and then used it to perform a very tedious ill-posed task of removing background from our 4D asset

Bitter lesson has arrived for all professional software

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

@IRCSS Oh thank god

[Gregory Wieber @dreamwieber]

Making moving magic with Claude Fable 5.2 🤯
