Sparse Voxels Rasterization: Real-Time High-Fidelity Radiance Field Rendering

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-06-08 04:06:05

Our scene representation is a hybrid of primitive and volumetric model. (a) Primitive component. We explicitly allocate voxels primitives to cover different scene level-of-details under an Octree layout. Note that we do not replicate a traditional Octree data structure with parent-child pointers or linear Octree. We only keep voxels at the Octree leaf nodes without any ancestor nodes. (b) Volumetric component. Inside a voxel is a volumetric (trilinear) density field and a (constant) spherical ha

In brief: Meta has announced that it is now accepting sign-ups for Community Notes, the feature that is replacing third-party fact checkers. Much like the X version that inspired it, Meta's Community Notes allows users on the company's platforms to decide if a post is misleading and add more context. At the start of January, just as Donald Trump's inauguration was approaching, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta's third-party fact checkers had become too politically biased and destroyed mor

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-06-08 01:59:00

Forward-looking: Major League Baseball is testing a computerized system for calling balls and strikes during spring training exhibition games. This Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS), which has been in development for four years in the minor leagues, could aid MLB home plate umpires as early as 2026. The ABS uses a network of cameras installed in stadiums to track each pitch and determine whether it crosses home plate within the strike zone. The current iteration uses Hawk-Eye pose-tracking cam

The best VPN services of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

zdnet.com Charlie Osborne 2025-06-07 18:55:28

Virtual private networks (VPNs) encrypt your data and hide your IP address. But there is far more to VPNs than that: they are essential tools to stop others from spying on your online activities, and they can help protect your sensitive information from theft. A VPN is vital when you are traveling or when you have to use public Wi-Fi networks. They forge an encrypted tunnel between your device and the service you are trying to access, which can prevent eavesdropping and stop you from being so e

Best Bluetooth Speaker for 2025

cnet.com David Carnoy 2025-06-08 04:00:00

Sonos Roam: Available in white or black for $179, the Roam is currently the smallest and most affordable Sonos speaker (if you don't count those $99 Sonos-compatible Symfonisk Ikea Wi-Fi bookshelf speakers), although it's fairly expensive for a mini wireless speaker. This Sonos Roam model, like the bigger Sonos Move 2 portable speaker, is equipped with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and can tap into an existing Sonos multiroom audio system and link with other Series 2-compatible Sonos speakers.

The 3 Best Essential Oil Diffusers (and One to Avoid)

wired.com Louryn Strampe 2025-06-08 00:09:00

I first learned about Pura from a friend whose house always smelled like a high-end boutique under every circumstance. Cooking project, water leak … no matter what was going on in her house at the time, I only ever smelled berries. I have two cats and a multi-sports-playing tween—I knew I needed this. Now, about 14 months into my Pura journey, I have some thoughts. While most of my time has been with the now discontinued Pura 3, I have also since used the Pura 4 and new large-room Pura Plus, al

What’s driving electricity demand? It isn’t just AI and data centers.

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2025-06-08 06:00:00

Take the US, for example. The IEA report points to other research showing that the 10 states hosting the most data center growth saw a 10% increase in electricity demand between 2019 and 2023. Demand in the other 40 states declined by about 3% over the same period. One caveat here is that nobody knows for sure what’s going to happen with data centers in the future, particularly those needed to run AI. Projections are all over the place, and small changes could drastically alter the amount of en

I’ve always been nervous about using Stripe after reading horror stories here. Unfortunately, I took my chances due to the ease of integration, and now I’m here with my own nightmare. We’ve used Stripe for nearly 10 years as a marketplace, only allowing Standard Accounts—never had a major issue. Until yesterday. A hacker created six Express accounts, linked them to our platform, and drained our balance. Then, they started charging our users and funneling the stolen money to their Express accou
