From a derailed train on a straight stretch of track... no. Very likely maintenance related somehow.
Spanish article from LaVanguardia states that the train was rather new and the track recently maintained.

Can somebody explain to me what was actually scanned? Only the actors doing movements like push ups, or whole scenes / rooms?

The linked paper in the GitHub repository doesn’t contain an NVIDIA email. There is an Amazon email and a bunch of university emails.
How come that this paper has become an NVIDIA project?
it wrecks my guts. so, no.
When I first took creatine from an Amazon dealer I had gut problems. I later bought a "micronized" creatine (similar to https://bulevip.com/es/3418-optimum-nutrition-creatina-powde...) and did not experience any gut problems. Taking the same product now for 3 years. Inbetween I used some other variant from time to time and have the theory that some vendors sell a not clean product that interferes with your gut.

In the web version it is unavoidable only in the native app you can change to the original audio.
P.S. I uninstalled the YouTube app because of YouTube Shorts and had to reinstall the app to listen to videos in the original audio.

Is Gemini tied/benefitting from Google TPU hardware? Because you need hardware in the data center to run this, and I feel it is somewhat specialised.
Gemini models are written in Jax which through the XLA compiler can be compiled either to TPU or GPU hardware.
Performance may differ but Google (and Nvidia) are very interested in having good performance on both platforms.

I am a GPU compiler engineer working on the OpenXLA compiler.
What does GPL stand for?

Hmm, 3% market share framework with barely any ecosystem and single vendor accelerators (Jax on TPU) vs a 60% market share framework with insanely rich ecosystem and ability to debug code on your own workstation (PyTorch on GPU)? In my informed opinion most people should use the latter unless they like wasting time on shiny things
Jax uses the XLA compiler which is compatible with GPU and CPU.
