Have you ever wanted to see Sutro Tower up close? Now you can! I'm releasing a very high quality model of the tower that you can easily fly through on your own, thanks to very cool developments in Gaussian splatting 🧵...

@MissionLoco @MLNow oh, alright

@fulligin @MLNow I had already read the takedown of Chavez in the New Yorker in 2014. And the rumors about him have been floating around Norcal since the earth cooled.

San Francisco leaders say Cesar Chavez Street’s “days are numbered." Latinos across the city reacted with sorrow and revulsion after a bombshell report accused the labor leader of serial sexual abuse. missionlocal.org/2026/03/san-fr…

@MissionLoco @MLNow Ok but how did you feel in particular

@fulligin @ClerkNPC @MLNow “Latino’s” are not some sort of hegemonic borg that an ultra-leftist UC Berkeley Student Project “news” website gets to speak for as a whole. It’s an obnoxious, hubristic notion borne of entitlement & privilege of the most toxic kind. Spanish-speakers are a wildly diverse bunch.

@MissionLoco @ClerkNPC @MLNow So are you two saying you weren't sad about this?

@ClerkNPC @MLNow Mission Local — my namesake! — is a bunch of posh egoists who have the elitist gall to claim they represent *anybody* except Berkeley/Bernal their own coddled, frizzy-haired far leftism. They’re so in love with themselves that for Christmas they gift selfies. Just the worst.

Huge update: LichtFeld Studio v0.5.0 🚀 What’s new: • Embedded Python runtime + plugin system makes LFS fully hackable and extensible (isolated uv environments, hot reload) • Integrated plugin marketplace (6 plugins incl.

holy shit dwarkesh got ada palmer - huge get

In William Gibson's "The Peripheral," a pocket alternate universe is forked and manipulated into conditions so hostile to peace that its inhabitants had to develop absurdly specialized weaponry, the designs of which were then copied by the parent universe.

@elnarvideo not yet, but will land soon in 0.5

@fulligin Is that not part of the latest release build?

the last two LichtFeldStudio nightly builds to drop are incredible. if you're still using postshot - run, don't walk: github.com/MrNeRF/LichtFe…

@elnarvideo Igs+ densification is very good

@fulligin Whats so amazing about last two builds specifically? Just curious. Still using postshot but mostly just because I already have an automated pipeline going and havent had the time to make one for LFS

@LodewijkLuijt if you're on windows, you should be able to extract the entire nightly as a self contained directory and run it from the bin/ folder, at least, that's what i do

@fulligin Windows here I'm afraid. Stuck to my Adobe ways

@LodewijkLuijt if you're on linux i would do a cmake --fresh and rebuild just from master

@fulligin Thanks. That would be great. It can also be my personal install. I Frankenstein'ed my nightly build by installing the source and then pasting the nightly on top of it. It runs so I think I'm doing it correctly but I'm never really sure.

@LodewijkLuijt damn, im sorry. hope we can fix this for you soon

@fulligin I lowered the amount of splats to try to fix the memory overflow but still it crashed after a few thousand steps. I always want to test the new LFS features but run into instability issues so I after trying LFS I run back to PS

@LodewijkLuijt new ifs builds will probably kill ps in quality at half the splat budget

@fulligin I still come across models I want to render that overrun memory in LFS and render fine in postshot...

"Stochastic Parrots" is a meme that won't go away. It seemed important enough to do a rundown of everything that is wrong with the technical or "philosophy of language" side of the paper (which is everything). 👇

@thenanyu We have a very meager field of candidates

@fulligin Why the lukewarm endorsement in the first place

I rescind my lukewarm endorsement

@AsterZephyrIsis lmao

so undermining BART by developing on its parking lots?

Pascal's Wager guys are always Christians trying to sell you on their particular sect, but if you really buy into the premise you are sort of obligated to be a Muslim, since it covers the most prophets, thus maximizing your odds of getting into Abrahamic heaven.
