Looks like you can relight a scene according to a top-down lighting diagram. @FlowbyGoogle

I think people don't realize why Gemini Omni is different than other video AIs. It is fully multimodal, so it can edit video natively, too I took the famous "train " movie from 1896 & made it a bullet train, LEGO, added a time traveler, a centipede, muppets... (see reflections?)

Bro copied the exact face shape????

@Junglegsus @ObviousRises @DeliciousOwl that you jump*

@Junglegsus @ObviousRises @DeliciousOwl Lmao the fact talent you jump to the conclusion that I cheat or even condone cheating says you're not actually thinking through your arguement. You'd be the same person that'd tie a rock to a lady and throw her into a river to see if she floats.

The most insane part is I'm pretty sure this isn't even legal, Riot Games is literally going to be destroying computers (with impunity) even if its a false positive or error, the Vanguard anti-cheat could also be exploited by hackers to brick millions of PCs... this isn't legal.

@Junglegsus @ObviousRises @DeliciousOwl The mental gymnastics here is honestly hilarious.

@ObviousRises @DeliciousOwl No, it’s not illegal. First off, it doesn’t brick PCs Secondly, the specific hardware used to cheat (which is crazy expensive), is blocked from accessing riot titles. The hardware is not “destroyed”, it becomes useless.

@FrybeamLLC @Grummz Reinstalling can cause major issues such as loss of vital documents. Not worth it. Plus you're adding massive security vulnerabilities that could be very easily exploited by nefarious actors. I understand the frustration with cheaters. I hate them too but this is not the answer.

@masterodst11 @Grummz It's not bricking anything. Worst case scenario is an operating system reinstall. 1 person has to reinstall Windows in exchange for 1000 cheaters being shut down? Worth

Riot is BRICKING cheating hardware that costs up to a grand to buy. DMA cards are hardware devices that plug into your PC and touch memory directly, bypassing the CPU and Windows. Riot is detecting them and destroying them permanently, posting to X to brag about it.

@FrybeamLLC @Grummz Actually fucked. For a game you'd rather someone innocent have their system bricked just to stop some cheaters. That's some real cut out their heart to stop the volcano type thinking.

@Grummz If this only fucks over 1 legit person for every 1000 cheaters that it takes out, then I say to that person... Thank you for your sacrifice. You will not be forgotten.

GOOGLE PROJECT GENIE NOW HAS ACCESS TO 280 BILLION STREET VIEW IMAGES FROM 110 COUNTRIES SPANNING 20 YEARS OF DATA. It uses all of it to build AI generated worlds you can actually walk around in.

Super excited to introduce SimWorld Studio!🏭 With built-in coding agent SimCoder🦞, you can vibe-code physical 3D scenes in Unreal Engine -- then train embodied agents directly inside the generated world.🦾 From environment generation to agent training, end-to-end. 🚀

Less than 34 hours ago, Google dropped Gemini Omni. Minds are blown. And people are already coming up with wild use cases. 10 examples:

insanely cool Big step toward creating a Star Trek replicator. We will build it soon. IMO (with ASI help) we'll develop replicator like tech during the 2030s. It may sound too fast, but just imagine billions of AGI 'agents' working together, 1000s of times faster than any human, focused solely on this one technology. MIT just took a major step toward programmable matter MIT researchers have developed a way to "reprogram" materials by moving atoms inside a solid crystal lattice (not just on the surface). The breakthrough is that they did it quickly, precisely, and at room temperature. It wasn't possible before. Using algorithm controlled electron beams, the team can reposition columns of atoms with picometer level precision, creating custom atomic defects inside a material. In one demonstration, they made over 40,000 quantum defects in about 40 minutes inside a crystalline semiconductor. That is a huge leap from older atom by atom manipulation methods, which were slow, surface limited, and often required extreme lab conditions.

You might have heard the rumours, it's time to reveal what we are working on. 🗺️ An open world Middle-earth RPG. ⚔️ A new Kingdom Come adventure. We’re excited to tell you more when the time is right. #WarhorseStudios #Annoucement #lotr #KingdomComeDeliverance

Introducing Gemini Omni 🔮........ Omni is our new model that can create anything from any input — starting with video (think Nano Banana but for video). Available in the Gemini App, Flow, and YouTube, with API support coming soon!

there's no catch; SAM3 is open source and really good one of the things it does really well is object tracking, even in crazy complex scenes like basketball probably my favorite computer vision model ever

Microsoft has released a 4B parameter model that turns any image into a 3D asset in 3 seconds. It uses a new geometry format called O-Voxel that converts to a textured mesh in under 100ms on CUDA. Outputs GLB files with full PBR textures, ready for Blender, Unity, and Unreal. 100% Open Source.

RT-Splatting: Joint Reflection-Transmission Modeling with Gaussian Splatting Contributions: • We introduce a unified surface-volume Gaussian scene representation for jointly modeling sharp specular reflections and clear transmission in real-world scenes containing thin semi-transparent surfaces. • We propose Specular-Aware Gradient Gating to suppress misleading gradients from complex specular regions, substantially reducing floaters in the transmission branch. • Extensive experiments demonstrate that RT-Splatting significantly outperforms prior methods while maintaining real-time rendering and enabling flexible scene editing.

This is insane!!! Someone just created a tool for Claude that lets it take any image and not just generate an environment, but individual meshes with physics and an ambient sound layer. Unreal, blender ready, etc.

Okay folks, this qualifies as BREAKING NEWS! Harold “Sonny” White, the warp drive pioneer behind NASA’s EagleWorks Lab, just stepped out of stealth with Casimir Inc. to unveil MicroSPARC: the first battery free chip to harvest continuous electrical power straight from the quantum vacuum via the Casimir force. The 5 mm × 5 mm device uses millions of custom microscale Casimir cavities fabricated on a substrate. Inside each cavity, two fixed conductive walls create a region of negative vacuum pressure (the well known Casimir effect). Stationary micropillars anchored in the middle act as antennas. Electrons from the cavity walls then quantum tunnel to the pillars because the interior is a lower energy “quieter” zone — and the probability of tunneling back is orders of magnitude lower. This one way “quantum ratchet” flow generates a measurable DC current with no external power source or moving parts. Prototypes already fabricated at university nanofab facilities (Texas A&M AggieFab, MIT.nano) have been tested in RF-shielded, low noise chambers for weeks. The team reports outputs ranging from millivolts to volts at picoamp to microamp levels using precision electrometers and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy. Target performance for the first commercial chip: ~1.5 V at 25 µA (≈40 µW continuous). Stacking and scaling could reach milliwatts or even watts per device. Initial applications are ultra low power: always on IoT sensors, wearables, and medical implants. Longer term roadmap includes trickle charging phones, powering small electronics, and eventually grid independent homes or EVs. Commercialization is targeted for 2028, starting at ~$100/W before dropping toward $10/W. White ties the work directly to his earlier theoretical paper on emergent quantization from a dynamic vacuum and sees it as a practical power source for the deep-space missions he’s long championed. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and independent scientists have so far declined public comment. But if the engineering scales as hoped, MicroSPARC would represent a genuine paradigm shift: continuous, maintenance free power drawn from the fabric of spacetime itself. A bold leap from warp-drive theory into real hardware. Progress (and vacuum-powered chips) marches on. Photo: MicroSPARC | Casimir Inc. Source: thedebrief.org/free-energy-fr…

@BasedTomas @cyberpeterg @omoelerinjare1 Video evidence trumps liars so theres literally every reason to just show her the video

@cyberpeterg @omoelerinjare1 Because she is lying. You do not engage with liars. They use words to trick and not communicate

A woman parked in the wrong spot at an apartment complex. The parking spot owner complained to the facilities manager, who called a towing company. The tow truck arrived 2 hours earlier than the agreed time. After some arguments, calls, and denials, the car was released to her without any towing fee.
