Not traditional Gaussian splats since they have their lighting baked in but there are alternate forms that have the ability to do so but largely in academia or very specific use cases
It means that you can lock the end point to a position and figure out the rest of the pose.
Imagine a character walking with forward kinematics. Every time you move the characters hips , you’d have to rotate the leg joints and make sure the foot doesn’t slide. Remember virtual characters don’t have friction.
IK lets you lock the foot in a spot so you can animate the body above it without having to spend time matching the foot position.
In a real world, this is like if you tried to put your hand on a door handle while jumping up and down. It’s easier to keep position when you hold the handle than if you were to just touch it.
It also means you can move the point and the rest of the joints adjust. Want to make your model walk? Just figure out the foot motion and the rest of the details are calculated based on joint range of motion and limb length.
You must be a hoot at parties. Getting to pick and choose what you and everyone else around you should care about and how they define terms to fit exactly what’s important to just you.
Orthography may be independent of language, but shockingly in society, it’s part of written language.
brother you were trying to "gotcha" me by saying my language is imprecise because i didn't capitalize. i'm pointing out that the two things have literally nothing to do with each other.
It’s not trying to be a gotcha, it’s pointing out the sheer arrogance to criticize someone for your own decision to take a commonly used metaphor literally, and then to go on and act high and mighty because you’ve decided to be the outlier in society who’s decided that you get to pick and choose language norms at your whim.
But you do you. I’m sure it gives some self satisfaction to pick pseudo intellectual arguments. There’s no point continuing this discussion because it’s clearly been in bad faith from the get go.
I like how Apple related conversations, I can’t make a point about how restrictive the OS has become and how most users are probably using restricted devices without apologists telling me “not enough people need to disable that stuff so it doesn’t count”. I’m sure you will brag about the merits of Apple’s locked down security of the App store, that’s not a restriction right? It’s just “security”.
Wherever you pundits want to move the goal post I guess.
Nobody is moving the goalposts. You just poorly choose words.
I don’t think you actually understand the problem space of what you’re describing or you wouldn’t call it DRM.
And as such I don’t think you actually have a grasp of what is affected. But you’ve deles that everyone who doesn’t think it’s the same level of issue as you is somehow beneath your intellect based on your other comments.
Even for those who don’t care about LLM use, this is just a great article on optimizing Swift performance, which is sadly something that doesn’t have a lot of written material for.
I’m curious if the AMX instructions are truly secret. In theory you could use an M4 or above and get them via SME I think but I’m just guessing as I’ve never tried intrinsic from Swift myself.
I’m not sure what part is confusing you or how to word it another way to make more sense to you.
What I’m saying is that instead of using the secret AMX instructions, just use SME , assuming they have the hardware available to them.
AMX isn’t truly gone afaik , at least according to the folks who have been looking at it. It’s just deprecated and it seems like the architecture treats them somewhat like aliases, preventing concurrent use within a process.
This article is an opinion piece. It doesn’t have any substantive claims, even from insiders that this is the case. It’s most credible claim is that people are moving about to new projects which is not irregular in the least.
It matches my lived experience. None of my friends use AVP. It is gathering dust. Do you have data on the contrary that AVP is growing gangbusters (like say, Macbook Neo?)
The argument is "there is no significant evidence to support the claim that Apple has given up on the Vision Pro".
I don't think anybody is arguing that it's selling amazingly well or is a growing market.
And I agree with the argument. It seems a little premature to make this claim now, so close to WWDC.
If WWDC comes and goes with no major announcement for the future of visionOS or the Vision Pro, that would be a significant indicator of Apple having given up.
1. I’m not making the claim it’s selling well. I’m just saying the article puts forth no supporting claim beyond the authors own repetitive opinion.
2. Your lived experience is (no offence intended) meaningless to the discussion unless you somehow live a very related lifestyle. Conversely many of my friends have Vision Pros because they use them professionally. I wouldn’t extrapolate anything from that.
I’m curious if everyone experiencing this is on 26.4.2? It came out 4 days ago according to Wikipedia…it would make sense that it lines up with when people are seeing it start.
