Thank you! Yeah it can be used for any type of program, but I haven't been able to think of anything besides compilation that creates enough processes to be interesting. I'm open to ideas!

Video encoding and 3-D rendering are a couple that come to mind; I'd think they'd launch quite a few.

This looks like a really cool tool!

can you elaborate on what versioning issues you are facing?

DiddlyWinks · 25 days ago

Detecting and marking changes to specific passages in the text. Also maintaining a single repository of all documents. Right now it's up to the writers to make copies in different directories or otherwise keep revisions organized.

"Todo?"

What sort of applications is this used for? I'm a technical writer, and my team is facing versioning challenges for sections of documents. I'm wondering if this could be useful.

So far using OpenDroneMap. Make sure to use the non-default planar mode for much better reliability in the OpenSFM phase. Also experimenting with Colmap, which requires CUDA (with OpenDroneMap CUDA is optional; they support CPU-only as well as GPU I believe)

Thanks for the info!

If there's one product we have domestic alternatives to it's semiconductors. We're a couple nodes behind TSMC. Using US only foundries or paying a premium for TSMC is not the end of the world.

DiddlyWinks · a month ago

Really? I was not under the impression that we had anything truly competitive. Could we make an iPhone, for example, using only U.S.-made chips?

It has nothing to do with stupidity. Stop painting people as idiots because they exist in one of the most information hostile environments in human history.

This isn't some natural state that's unrecoverable. The people you describe have been given a highly addictive media environment tailor made to engender outrage and drive behavior. It shouldn't be a shock when most people cannot resist it. The first step to changing it is not writing them off or insulting them for being had.

DiddlyWinks · a month ago

At this point they're not "being had." They are deliberately and belligerently ignorant. It's way past time to stop giving anyone a free pass on supporting this malevolent clown.

I know we're just supposed to upvote here, but this is too amazing not to praise. Beautiful work.

Just so fascinating; and I find these kinds of scenes a little spooky.

3D guassian splatting might supplant polygonal 3D for many things. At least for 3D scanned scenes it might make sense. For synthetic scenes it might make sense as well. Very interesting technology! I do a lot with drone photogrammetry, I'm keeping an eye on this tech.

DiddlyWinks · a month ago

Yeah, I was thinking of applying this to drone photogrammetry also. Care to share a list of your core software tools?

I haven't done any myself yet, but I'm looking to do some ASAP... both drone and non-drone.

Well I don't think there is much choice. They write the core in rust. Plus openssl is a bit old and bloated. So it's not wrong to pick RustTLS if you want to be hip.

DiddlyWinks · a month ago

Ha, well, by all means I must be hip!
