📢Pix2NPHM: Learning to Regress NPHM Reconstructions From a Single... Image📢 We directly regress neural parametric head models (NPHMs) from a single image — fast, stable, and significantly more expressive than classical 3DMMs such as FLAME. Face tracking & 3D reconstruction are often limited by the representational capacity of PCA-based face models. By lifting NPHMs to a first-class reconstruction primitive, we enable more accurate geometry, richer expressions, and finer animation control. Pix2NPHM obtains fast and reliable NPHM reconstructions on real-world data. Inference-time optimization against surface normals and canonical point maps can further increase fidelity. Key to successful and generalized training of our ViT-based network are: (1) large-scale registration of existing 3D head datasets, and (2) self-supervised training on vast in-the-wild 2D video datasets using pseudo ground-truth surface normals. Finally, we show that geometry-aware pretraining on pixel-aligned reconstruction tasks significantly outperforms generic visual pretraining (e.g., DINO-style features) in terms of generalization. 🌍 🎥 Great work by Simon Giebenhain, Tobias Kirschstein, Liam Schoneveld, Davide Davoli, Zhe Chenshow more

📢Announcing our 3D head avatar benchmark📢 Two tasks with... hidden test sets: - Dynamic Novel View Synthesis on Heads - Monocular FLAME-driven Head Avatar Reconstruction Our goal is to make research on 3D head avatars more comparable and ultimately increase the realism of digital humans. The benchmark studies distinct phenomena of 3D head avatar creation, such as extreme facial expressions, slow motion captures of shaking long hair, or complicated light reflection and refraction patterns of glasses. The two benchmark tasks assess two core desiderata of 3D avatars: While the novel view synthesis challenge focuses on best possible rendering quality of complex moving scenes, the avatar animation challenge is concerned with how well a driving signal is translated into an avatar. Evaluations are light-weight and consist of diverse video recordings from the popular NeRSemble dataset with a hidden test set. Participation in the benchmark is therefore straight-forward and requires only 5 reconstructions per task.

Neuralink Integration with ANKTIVA for Revolutionary Immunotherapy Elon Musk,... a visionary collaboration opportunity by Dr. Sarabi and Grok. Dear Mr Musk: Good morning sir! I would like to bring to your attention the remarkable work of Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, who has developed a groundbreaking therapy, Anktiva, capable of supercharging key immune molecules to combat cancer and COVID-19. In a recent discussion with Tucker Carlson, Dr. Soon-Shiong described this advance as akin to the “E=mc²” of medicine—the discovery of “God’s equation,” a biological key that has eluded us for half a century until now. Just as Tesla has revolutionized the automotive and environmental industries, and SpaceX has advanced the expansion of humanity into a multi-planetary species to ensure our long-term survival, Anktiva represents a comparable paradigm shift in medicine, safeguarding human health and endurance. Given your shared commitment to advancing humanity, I respectfully inquire whether you might consider extending your support to Dr. Soon-Shiong in this critical pursuit. Moreover, I propose exploring the integration of Neuralink, employing the stepwise protocol outlined below, in collaboration with Dr. Soon-Shiong. Such a partnership could propel an unprecedented advancement in medicine and the future of humankind. Grok has developed a preliminary conceptual integration of Neuralink to enhance and supercharge IL-15 production 1/7: Identify Target Neural Circuits • Map the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus • Trace efferent projections from the PVN to the intermediolateral cell column (IML) in the spinal cord. • Identify sympathetic nerve fibers innervating the spleen and lymph nodes. • Map vagus nerve branches terminating in gut-associated lymphoid tissue and the hepatic portal system. 2/7: Implant Neuralink and Integrate with Neural Pathways • Place Neuralink electrodes in the PVN and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, using extended threads for subcortical/brainstem access. • Configure for recording/stimulation to modulate autonomic outflow to the IML at thoracic spinal levels. • Establish central control over peripheral pathways (e.g., splenic/vagus nerves) via targeted brain stimulation. 3/7: Develop Stimulation Protocols • Program Neuralink for high-frequency stimulation to the PVN for sympathetic activation. • Apply low-frequency patterned stimulation to the dorsal motor nucleus to engage feedback loops. • Modulate splenic/vagal pathways with phase-locked cycles through central interfaces. 4/7: Initiate Immune Cell Activation • Stimulate pathways to induce IFN-γ and TNF-α release in spleen/lymph nodes. • Trigger IL-15 transcription/translation in dendritic cells, monocytes, and epithelial cells. • Monitor for increased membrane-bound IL-15/IL-15Rα complex formation. 5/7: Enhance Local IL-15 Presentation • Concentrate stimulation at tumor/inflammation sites. • Promote immune cell clustering via chemokine/adhesion molecule induction. • Sustain localized IL-15/IL-15Rα trans-presentation to NK and CD8+ T cells. 6/7: Implement Real-Time Monitoring and Feedback • Record neural/immune biomarkers continuously via Neuralink telemetry. • Adjust stimulation based on IL-15 levels and NK/T cell activity. • Set safety thresholds to avoid excessive immune activation. 7/7: Synchronize with Immunotherapy • Time stimulation with IL-15 superagonists or adoptive therapies. • Evaluate synergies using immune monitoring/imaging. • Optimize based on patient responses.

Model-Free Reinforcement Learning (MFRL) has been alluring, especially with... supercharged compute with physics on GPU. However, the methods use 0-th order gradients, and are often not the best optimizers. Can we do better than PPO in continuous control for robotics? Turns out yes! 🥳 tl;dr: Faster, better RL than PPO in continuous control 💪 The answer lies in using more information from the simulation. We are juicing the simulation on GPU as it is, why not use it for gradients as well? This has been a driving question in a series of our works. We first studied this problem in ICLR 2022 paper on Short Horizon Actor Critic Naive gradient based methods are stuck in local minima and have exploding/vanishing gradients. SHAC solved this problem truncated rollouts and model based value estimation, where the model is Differentiable Sim. This boosted sample efficiency and wall-clock time immensely especially in high dimensional systems such as humanoids Yet, given enough compute PPO often caught up. Our follow up paper on on Adaptive Horizon Actor Critic at ICML 2024 discovers the cause and provides a fix. However, we find that even when given ground-truth dynamics, not all gradients are useful due to sample error. 1st-Order Model-Based Reinforcement Learning methods employing differentiable simulation provide gradients with reduced variance but are susceptible to bias in scenarios involving stiff dynamics, such as physical contact. We find that back-propagating through contact and long trajectories drastically reduces gradient accuracy. Using this insight, we propose AHAC to dynamically adapt its roll-out horizon to avoid differentiating through stiff contact. AHAC is a first-order model-based RL algorithm that learns high-dimensional tasks in minutes (wall clock) and outperforms PPO by 40%, even in the limit of data provided to PPO.

The most detailed 3D reconstruction of a cell ever... created. Blows my mind every time. But what exactly are we looking at here? The average human cell contains: ~ 15-20 total distinct organelle types, totalling between ~1-10 million working together per cell. All these nano-machines in the cell are made up of proteins. ~ 8,000-10,000 distinct types of unique proteins, adding up to between 40 million - 10 trillion total proteins making up all those cellular systems. ~ 10,000 - 15,000 distinct types of RNA shuttling information around the cell, totalling up to ~10 million RNA molecules moving around the cell simultaneously. ~ Billions of Lipid molecules packed together into the cell membrane, which is also packed tightly with millions more protein-based nano-machines. And let's not forget billions of lines of DNA information to build and run it all. That's TRILLIONS of of individual molecular pieces working together to make a single cell function. That means there is more complexity in a single cell than humanity's largest cities. And people still believe this wasn't Divinely Designed. This is God's Glory on Display. But to make the point. A cell couldn't have evolved from some nebulous simpler "protocell" because even the simplest cells still require massive complexity. The "simplest" cell ever created was engineered by scientists knocking out pieces of a functional cell until it stopped functioning. Here is what they found is the absolute necessary minimal requirements of a cell to function: - Over ~531,000 lines of coded DNA information - 473 total genes to create hundreds of unique protein products (they later added 19 genes back in because the cell was so weak) - Hundreds of thousands of total proteins all working together - Extensive regulatory networks guiding all these interactions If the cell doesn't have all these systems in place, from the start... it doesn't live. Cell rely on an intricate network of complex systems, which are themselves built from complex interconnected pieces woven together into an incomprehensibly complex web of functionilty. Only intelligence has ever been observed creation vast interconnected systems like this. Life was clearly Created. It couldn't happen any other way.show more

Artistic reconstruction of the “Homo 1-KNH” plastered skull from... Kfar HaHoresh, dating to the Levant Neolithic period around 9,000 years ago. The skull marked as KNH-Homo 1 was discovered in a probable cache, sandwiched between two plastered surfaces and in association with a headless gazelle carcass (Goring-Morris et al., 1995a,b; Hershkovitz et al., 1995). The skull and plaster surfaces were excellently preserved, although minor deformation and compaction had occurred, especially in the occipital region, due to the weight of overlying sediments over time. However, the plastered surfaces were almost completely intact and suffered only minor distortion (Goring-Morris et al., 1995a). The skull, comprising only the cranium, belonged to an adult male of about 25 years of age. Facial features, including the nose, mouth, chin, eyes, and cheeks (but not the ears), had been modelled. The resulting visage is that of a squat, strongly pronounced brachycephalic individual, particularly when viewed from the front. The entire plastered surface was covered with a red wash, though there is no evidence that this extended over the exposed areas of the skull. This skull is remarkably similar to the three modelled skulls from ‘Ain Ghazal (Griffin, Grissom & Rollefson, 1998), in its iconography, although the construction methods differ. The overall countenance of the modelled face changes markedly depending on the angle or perspective from which it is viewed. From a slightly raised and offset viewpoint, the skull almost presents a Buddha-like image. Under these circumstances, it seems unlikely that the overall visage was intended to, or could, accurately portray a lifelike image of the individual. However, certain features, such as the cleft chin, aquiline nose, puffy cheeks, and eyes, may reflect realistic facial characteristics of the individual (Yuval Goren, Adrian Nigel Goring-Morris, Irina Segal, 2001).

More Batteries vs. Submarines Now that the German TKMS... and the French Naval Group have massively adopted lithium-ion batteries, following the Japanese lead, this is consolidating as a major trend, just as I had predicted. The next stage will be solid-state batteries, and at that point, we'll essentially be discussing only speed and submerged endurance in comparison to nuclear submarines. Since solid-state batteries are lighter, they will allow for a greater number to be installed, freeing up space for more powerful propulsion systems. Naval Group has already sold a version of the Scorpène to Indonesia capable of remaining submerged for up to 80 days. That's with lithium-ion batteries. Imagine what this could exceed, more than double, with solid-state batteries. In practical terms, a more powerful engine combined with solid-state batteries in the proportions that Naval Group is now using in the Scorpène would provide three times the speed, meaning something like 10–15 knots at constant speed while maintaining around 50 days submerged. This would give a range of 40,000–50,000 km, requiring less than one hour on the surface for a fast recharge. For speeds above 25 knots, simply adding more batteries and a better engine would suffice, as the solid-state system has high power output. All this at 15–20% of the cost of a nuclear submarine. And if the choice is to power the batteries with a micro-reactor, it would cost 25–35% of a conventional nuclear one. Then someone will say: “But a nuclear sub can stay submerged for years.” That makes no difference at all, since even with around 60 days of endurance, the crew still needs to surface to resupply provisions. The big advantages remain: battery-powered subs are superior in silence, and speed can be addressed with larger battery packs.show more

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST TURNED WET COFFEE GROUNDS INTO COAL-LIKE... FUEL IN 90 SECONDS WITHOUT DRYING IT FIRST. Researchers in South Korea have developed a plasma-based system that converts moisture-rich coffee waste directly into high-energy biochar. The process uses flame plasma (reaching 1,470–1,650°F) to trigger rapid carbonization through a “popcorn effect,” where steam bursts inside the grounds break apart the structure and accelerate the reaction. In under two minutes, the system produces a carbon-rich material with an energy content of 29.0 MJ/kg comparable to anthracite coal while tripling the fixed carbon content and completely removing sulfur compounds. Why this matters: • Most biomass conversion methods require energy-intensive pre-drying, which this process eliminates • The resulting biochar has a much higher heating value and surface area, making it useful as fuel or for activated carbon applications • It generates minimal smoke and tar compared to traditional methods • The technology could work on other high-moisture wastes like food waste, sewage sludge, and agricultural residues The deeper implication: This represents a fast, potentially decentralized way to turn problematic organic waste into valuable resources. Instead of spending energy and money drying biomass before processing, the moisture itself becomes part of the solution. If scaled, technologies like this could help close the loop on organic waste streams while producing renewable solid fuels or advanced carbon materials with far less processing time and cost than current methods. It’s a clever example of working with the properties of waste rather than fighting them. How useful do you think rapid, drying-free waste-to-fuel systems like this could be for industries or cities dealing with large volumes of organic waste?
