crazy paper that combines high efficiency volume Bragg grating... (VBG), spatial light modulator (SLM) for phase pattern, proper balance of coherence for light source, MEMS steering for color-angle multiplexing, and a neural waveguide model i don't understand yet, altogether to form a holographic MR display... won't be able to afford it for sure. oh there is also a multilayer "apochromatic holographic eyepiece lens" that cancels the chromatic dispersion for the RGB color..

📢 Meta just posted this small video on Project... Orion which looks awesome and (brings me back to ML1 days ☺️) except for the form-factor which makes it more compelling to a wider audience. - Full-color holographic lenses (waveguides) 70 degree FoV diagonal. - Lightweight and comfortable design for extended wear. - Hand tracking for natural gestures. - Voice commands to control apps hands-free. - Gesture recognition for quick interactions. - Neural interface wristband translates biometric signals into commands. - Spatial awareness to detect user movement and environment. - Eye tracking for focus-based input and selection. - Spatial audio enables immersive sound that matches visuals. - Computer puck similar to ML1 & ML2 to offload its processing. - Battery life is up to 3 hours for the AR Glasses & all day for the compute puck.show more

Matching blue light: (The guy who drilled into alleged... UAP)...🧐🤔👽👽👽👽👽👽👽 For those of you who are sure this is fake, this is for the other people who are interested. The blue light that turns on behind him matches the exact color of the power drill’s light. There are a few videos where alleged UAPs mimic other objects in some way. This may be fake, it may be real. Maybe this is just the moment in history where evidence is not just seen, photographed, videotaped, but live streamed and engrained into the internet before anyone has a chance to mitigate it.show more

Every walk to my hotel room is a bit... of a religious experience. I go towards the light, searching for guidance. Slowly the outline of a figure emerges. And I feel comfort, that he is always there, watching over me. And everything is going to be okay. Thank-you, Jared Spurgeon.show more

I gave the new Meta Muse Spark model a... bunch of assorted assets and it was able to carefully extract them and place it into a functioning app. I've never seen something with a clear intuition for design and product-first thinking. This is the first AI that *gets* UI design.show more

SATURN - the outer boundary of our reality. A... "gateway" between the earthly and divine? The hexagon at its pole, the BLACK CUBE, and the hypercube - a form linking DIMENSIONS - all echo Saturn’s geometry. Some believe that the GATE is not simply crossed... it is "paid" for. Not with coins, but devotion with ENERGY. Is Saturn - keeper of the rings - a portal, a STARGATE into the next dimension? Is LIFE the toll we pay to pass into the LIGHT - a dividing light, separating those who can ENTER... from those who cannot?show more

Self-Calibrating Gaussian Splatting for Large Field of View Reconstruction... Note: Check below for full video. Abstract (cited): "In this paper, we present a self-calibrating framework that jointly optimizes camera parameters, lens distortion, and 3D Gaussian representations, enabling accurate and efficient scene reconstruction. Our technique is particularly effective for high-quality scene reconstruction from large field-of-view (FOV) imagery taken with wide-angle lenses, allowing the scene to be modeled from a smaller number of images. We introduce a novel method for modeling complex lens distortions using a hybrid network that combines invertible residual networks with explicit grids. This design effectively regularizes the optimization process, achieving greater accuracy than conventional camera models. Additionally, we propose a cubemap-based resampling strategy to support large FOV images without sacrificing resolution or introducing distortion artifacts. Our method is compatible with the fast rasterization of Gaussian Splatting, adaptable to a wide variety of camera lens distortions, and demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on both synthetic and real-world datasets."show more

Brainrotting teens watching short form memes so much to... the point that parts of the fragments of other memes become even more short form and get colluded in other memes to the point that it really doesnt make sense. However. Brain loves pattern recognition of these patterns and nonsensical randomly shown fragments of memes, because it is not long form reward, nor short form reward — but instantaneous; it is the only form of pleasure it can feel So brain tries to look for these patterns unconsciously, it sees patterns and similar resemblance in random things and adds a symbolical emotional labeling of truth to it. So everything becomes a piece of information and data. It gets stored in their subconscious brain and fires up everytime there is a resemblance. Extremely dangerous if weaponised but no one sees the patterns yet. However because of these pattern behaviours teens are split into two categories, the brainrots which God knows how it will end with them — consumers and slaves that later on might have no free will and be driven by pure chemical instinct. And those who see for truth in patterns. The latter is able to overcome modern day censoring and freedom of speech mechanisms, and possibly overcome the evil trying to control the world with pure silliness and having fun. (67 is part of a random pattern that someone said during a match score, and it became viral, nothing more but a collective participation to which youth finds identity by being and acting in it; “performing”) Its beauty lies not in the act but in those individuals that look beyond the chemical instincts of the lower mind. Example of the video below. It shows many fragmental elements of history, symbolism, that is collaged into art. Which by being seen individually or collectively it shows the expression on how man uses its own soul for these kind of co-creations he choses to participate in creation. Symbolism that can leave a person ask for its meaning and search for it, only by questioning himself not by a direct answer (short or long form). Of course which extreme beauty there is also extreme ugliness which are out there which I wont show here Lets see how it really turns out to be honest, West has no protection toward the subjective, the feminine, the subconscious. To which the inner sins of man try to exploit.show more

I am grateful for life in this beautiful world.... Gratitude for existence means living with dignity — creating and doing good for those close to us, for ourselves, and for others. : Gratitude for life in this beautiful world is not a fleeting sentiment. It is a profound orientation that reshapes how we live. To truly feel thankful for existence is to recognize its rarity and splendor, and to respond by living with dignity. That dignity shows itself in deliberate creation and goodness. We make things of beauty and utility. We ease suffering and spread joy. We do this first for those closest to us, then for ourselves (because self-respect is part of the gift), and finally for strangers, because the circle of care widens naturally when gratitude is genuine. Gratitude without action is hollow. Action without gratitude is mechanical. Together they form the quiet engine of a meaningful life. The beautiful world gave us the miracle of being here. The only fitting return is to make our corner of it more beautiful still, through every choice that honors the gift. In a cosmos indifferent to our existence, gratitude becomes our quiet rebellion. We answer silence with purposeful light.show more

THE BIG COSPIRACY THEORY THEY ARE ALL FROM DECEMBER...... DO YOUR MEDIA ALSO REPORT THE CAUSE OF THE RECENT PASSENGER PLANE DISASTERS TO BE A BIRD STRIKE??? I HAVE A RECORDING ALSO FROM DECEMBER OF BIRDS FLYING INTO THE ENGINE AND KILLING IT IN SECONDS. BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS FOR THESE ENGINES... THE REAL REASON IS GREED FOR MONEY. CLIMATE POLICY WILL STOP FINANCED, SO THEY WILL MAKE A BOMB NEAR AIRPORTS WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES, WHICH CHANGES THE DENSITY OF THE AIR AND EVERYTHING THAT FLYS AND HAS AN ENGINE, MUST FALL. CONTROL TOWERS SHOULD STOP FLIGHTS AND ROUTE TO OTHERS BUT THEY ARE MAKING MONEY IN GEOENGINEERING AND THEY LEFT IT FOR THE LOTTERY... THERE WILL BE SENTENCES TO DEATH ROW source:👇🏻 Adamshow more

This video is real and it is also not... real. It is real because these snakes actually exist. It is not real because you won't find a snake like this in the wild. White ball pythons are bred through selective breeding for their unique color. The process involves breeding individuals that have lighter coloration, such as those with yellow or pale gray scales, and then selectively breeding their offspring with the lightest coloration. This breeding process continues over generations to produce ball pythons with a white color. You can see that the mother has more pattern on it than the daughter. The offspring of this daughter will most likely be white throughout. So, this is a designer snake....you won't find it naturally.show more

Schulz: I don't begrudge any American that's like, 'Why... the fuck are we doing this when I can't even afford to buy a house?'

Medvedev and Peskov started making assurances that there will... be no mobilization in Russia and Russia is not preparing for one. Very recently, I wrote that one of the reasons for restricting the internet and social media in Russia is preparation for mobilization. Yes, there is an anti-drone logic behind it, but it seems much more like part of a stricter mobilization model: first, the Russian state suppresses communications and limits access to keep people within a controlled digital environment, and only afterward will it conduct a new wave of mobilization with less chaos and less room for resistance. Russia is preparing for a larger war and a broader mobilization. For the process to go smoothly, the regime needs to reduce information leaks, make summonses digital and unavoidable, and narrow the space for evasion and escape. That's why Russia has already launched electronic summonses - to make it harder for men to avoid conscription. We don't know exactly where the Kremlin will deploy the next wave of cannon fodder. But we do know that Putin is already expanding the army to 1.5 million active personnel, and the Kremlin has openly justified this by citing threats on the Western flank and the need to create new structures in the northwest.show more

This is the new ESA video of 3I/ATLAS passing... Mars. I cropped around 3I/ATLAS, then made it larger, made it brighter, and added some blue color to help us see details. It has no "tail" like for a "comet". Yet it is carrying some kind of gaseous coma along with it on all sides. Since ESA did not give us a color image, we cannot say (from this video) which gasses that coma is made of.show more

Folks, right now, 25 of the largest pharmaceutical companies... in America control 70% of the market. This lack of competition drives up prices – making it harder for hardworking American families to access the health care they need. Today, my Administration is doing something about it. Let me explain: Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars are spent on research, discovery, and development of new prescription drugs. And while I firmly believe that the strength of a nation can be measured by the boldness of its science, the quality of its research, and the progress it helps bring forth, I also believe that the folks who paid for the research – you – ought to be able to access and afford the final product. That's why my Administration is proposing that if a drug made using taxpayer funds is not reasonably available to Americans, the government reserves the right to "march in" and license that drug to another manufacturer who could sell it for less. This is an important step toward ending Big Pharma price gouging. It's good for competition. It's good for our economy. And it's good for the millions of Americans who can't afford their medications – who know all too well that fine line between dignity and dependence that the price of a prescription drug can draw.show more

Why does humanity need a common ideal? So that... there may be a guiding light leading peoples and individuals toward a shared goal. But which idea is worthy of becoming that ideal? : The author asks why humanity needs a common ideal and answers that it serves as a guiding light, uniting peoples and individuals toward a shared goal. Without such a unifying vision, societies risk fragmentation, aimless drift, and conflicting priorities that hinder collective progress. A common ideal provides direction, inspires cooperation, and gives meaning to long-term efforts. Yet the deeper question remains: which idea is truly worthy of becoming that ideal? It must be noble enough to transcend narrow interests, inclusive enough to embrace diversity, and inspiring enough to motivate generations. The author implies that only an ideal rooted in the flourishing of all humanity one that balances individual dignity with collective well-being can fulfill this role. In a divided world, the search for such a guiding light is not optional but essential. A worthy ideal does not erase differences; it elevates them toward a higher purpose.show more

People get so emotional about DNA issues that they... refuse to think reasonably. If you, on your own volition, wake up one morning, and decide to go have a DNA paternity test of "your" children, then you must also be ready for the results that will come back to you. You must have reasonable cause to go for the test. That reasonable cause means you are not 100% sure if the kids are yours and hence need a confirmation test. The DNA centers are supposed to take you through counseling before you sign on to do the test. Don't go for a test and later come and disturb us online with the results. Nobody asked for it. The situation is different if you need to have the DNA test to help you complete some documentation for traveling etc. That one you didn't request for the test out of your own volition. So I can understand you if you are surprised when the results come. There is an Akan proverb that says "if you go searching for stuffs in the eyes of dead person, you will definitely see a ghost."show more
