Meshtron provides a simple and scalable, data-driven solution for generating intricate, artist-like meshes of up to 64K faces at 1024-level coordinate resolution. This is over an order of magnitude higher face count and 8x higher coordinate resolution compared to existing methods.
A model that can generate the next frame of a 3D scene based on the previous frame(s) and user input, trained on video data, and running in real-time.
World models enable AI systems to simulate and reason about their environments, pushing forward autonomous decision-making and real-world problem-solving.
The key insight is that by training on video data, these models learn not just how to generate images, but also:
the physics of our world (objects fall down, water flows, etc)
how objects look from different angles (that chair should look the same as you walk around it)
how things move and interact (a ball bouncing off a wall, a character walking on sand)
basic spatial understanding (you can’t walk through walls)
Some companies, like World Labs, are taking a hybrid approach: using World Models to generate static 3D representations that can then be rendered using traditional 3D engines (in this case, Gaussian Splatting). This gives you the best of both worlds: the creative power of AI generation with the multiview consistency and performance of traditional rendering.
Color Temperature of a light source describes the spectrum of light which is radiated from a theoretical “blackbody” (an ideal physical body that absorbs all radiation and incident light – neither reflecting it nor allowing it to pass through) with a given surface temperature.
Or. Most simply it is a method of describing the color characteristics of light through a numerical value that corresponds to the color emitted by a light source, measured in degrees of Kelvin (K) on a scale from 1,000 to 10,000.
More accurately. The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal backbody that radiates light of comparable hue to that of the light source.
The FCC voted to kill net neutrality and let ISPs like Comcast ruin the web with throttling, censorship, and new fees. Congress has 60 legislative days to overrule them and save the Internet using the Congressional Review Act
In color technology, color depth also known as bit depth, is either the number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel, OR the number of bits used for each color component of a single pixel.
When referring to a pixel, the concept can be defined as bits per pixel (bpp).
When referring to a color component, the concept can be defined as bits per component, bits per channel, bits per color (all three abbreviated bpc), and also bits per pixel component, bits per color channel or bits per sample (bps). Modern standards tend to use bits per component, but historical lower-depth systems used bits per pixel more often.
Color depth is only one aspect of color representation, expressing the precision with which the amount of each primary can be expressed; the other aspect is how broad a range of colors can be expressed (the gamut). The definition of both color precision and gamut is accomplished with a color encoding specification which assigns a digital code value to a location in a color space.
The cone angle of the sun refers to the angular diameter of the sun as observed from Earth, which is related to the apparent size of the sun in the sky.
The angular diameter of the sun, or the cone angle of the sunlight as perceived from Earth, is approximately 0.53 degrees on average. This value can vary slightly due to the elliptical nature of Earth’s orbit around the sun, but it generally stays within a narrow range.
Here’s a more precise breakdown:
Average Angular Diameter: About 0.53 degrees (31 arcminutes)
Minimum Angular Diameter: Approximately 0.52 degrees (when Earth is at aphelion, the farthest point from the sun)
Maximum Angular Diameter: Approximately 0.54 degrees (when Earth is at perihelion, the closest point to the sun)
This angular diameter remains relatively constant throughout the day because the sun’s distance from Earth does not change significantly over a single day.
To summarize, the cone angle of the sun’s light, or its angular diameter, is typically around 0.53 degrees, regardless of the time of day.
