SplatOverflow: Asynchronous Hardware Troubleshooting

TL;DR: That's probably the most creative application of 3DGS I have ever seen :)

Abstract (excerpt):
SplatOverflow creates a novel boundary object, the SplatOverflow scene, that users reference to communicate about hardware.

The scene comprises a 3D Gaussian Splat of the user’s hardware registered onto the hardware’s CAD model.
The splat captures the current state of the hardware, and the registered CAD model acts as a referential anchor for troubleshooting instructions.

With SplatOverflow, maintainers can directly address issues and author instructions in the user’s workspace.

BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job.

It's the largest strike in the US since 2019.

Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet.

For a space that prides itself on building censorship-resistant & borderless technology, cryptotwitter has been dead silent about the protests & ensuing censorship in Iran.

Here’s what’s happening, why you should care, & how you can help Iranians communicate. 🇮🇷

For context, the operator accidentally hit the real deploy emergency warning instead of the test one because the signifiers were so poor 🙄 it’s not the operator’s fault if the system was just designed badly

[Ritik @RitikBatra18]

I remember learning about this in my first ui/ux lecture - I still refer to it today whenever anyone asks why design is important 🙃

Coinbase spending $16,000,000 on a Superbowl ad to direct people to their website and $0 to make sure that website doesn't crash 10 seconds after the ad starts is so very internet.
