All “exact” models have to live in the real world, even Rapunzel had supplies and an early form of Internet

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Gravitational Engineering April 17, 2024

Physical Review Letters @PhysRevLett An exact full set of matrix product states of highly degenerate tricritical Lifshitz points in the quantum spin model with anisotropic interactions has been discovered https://go.aps.org/3Q3Pxna https://pic.twitter.com/w22Em2B3EZ Replying to @PhysRevLett It only looks simple because you use simple potentials with no real world inputs. In the real world, every tiny cubic

Eric Brachmann @eric_brachmann Map-relative Pose Regression CVPR2024 highlight) For years absolute pose regression did not work. There was some success by massively synthesising scene-specific data. We train scene-agnostic APR and it works. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.09884 Page: https://nianticlabs.github.io/marepo https://pic.twitter.com/uLNMFMQ42L Replying to @eric_brachmann There ought to be a concise moving symbol set to describe precisely this algorithm, not

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnCmvxt2jn8 I try to read and review internet content of all kinds. When I see people wasting time, it bothers me. When millions of people waste time it is bad. When billions waste years each, a catastrophe. The properties of air and electrical circuits are well known. Air is about 2.5 Kilogram/Meter^3 and molar mass

Permuting species and “If Einstein had never been born”

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Internet efficiency April 9, 2024

https://communities.springernature.com/posts/permuting-species-reveals-their-hidden-rankings Comment: (If Einstein were not born): They say generalist species are more important. But in fact parallel developing specialists and individuals can far outnumber and have more influence than large nodes with many links. I track these “bubbling up” topics on the Internet and try to find and encourage them to form new global
