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

Richard Talks to Grok about Libraries, gathering and making knowledge accessible to all humans on the Internet

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies April 12, 2024

https://twitter.com/RichardKCollin2/status/1778701348516544845 Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation @RichardKCollin2 There needs to be an open library officially dedicated to the Internet. xAI Grok: There isn’t a single official open library dedicated solely to the Internet. However, the closest equivalent that encompasses the spirit of an open library dedicated to the Internet is the Internet Archive. It is

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
