Hello again! And hopefully this place works out better than That Other Place (but so far, so good :) )

People are now also making starter packs, which are super useful. Search for "<topic of interest> starter pack", for example "game starter pack" brings up lots of interesting lists: bsky.app/profile/geir...bsky.app/profile/geir...bsky.app/profile/vese...bsky.app/profile/thet... and more!

Great teaser of things to come :)

And also (and maybe a bit of a sidebar, but) that quoted paragraph is still correct: "As we discuss in §5, LMs are not performing natural language understanding (NLU), and only have success in tasks that can be approached by manipulating linguistic form" &c Doesn't matter to VCs, but does to DARPA.

Enemy autoscaling really destroys the world feel for me. It takes an interesting lived-in world and turns it into a designer puzzle.

Welcome to our beautiful city! Glad to see you're Chicagoing well :)

Still, being able to consistently recover an implicit depth value is going to be _super useful_ for all sorts of things :)

Also: books

On one hand, I'm impressed with the results! On the other hand, recovering the value of a (hidden) depth buffer channel seems very on-track with recovering the values of visible channels?

Very jealous
