Battery and computer puck. There are photos on the site

I’ve flown with it a handful of times without issue. Both in cabin luggage and checked in but I guess I’m risking it in the latter.

Not sure how a robot filter remover would work on the DWARF 3 that is reliable and works around loss of alignment and the exposure adjustment. I would love to find a solution for next year. Also wonder how can one test it out beforehand. I don’t want to burn the sensor ha ha

I was capturing video and removed the magnetic solar filter as quick and carefully as I could. It worked but didn’t love the results. Hard to not move the telescope a bit that causes realignment and then obviously it has to readjust exposure that takes a moment. Same when putting it back after totality. I’m also looking for advice. We have another chance next year in Spain!

I have a Dwarflab DWARF 3 (also mentioned in the post) that I highly recommend. It’s one of those gadgets that ended up using more than expected when I bought it. I toss it in my luggage and I got to capture really nice sky pictures with little effort (Marfa TX, Patagonia, latest total solar eclipse in Spain)

From blog post:

“It generates both image frames from novel views and explicit 3D outputs”

Model can indeed generate novel views but I don’t think in real time (I could be wrong). If you want to navigate a space in real time as user above was asking gotta rely on the 3D output and the explicit representation will provide continuity. User likely was referring to the limitations we’ve seen on video-style world models like genie and precursors.

I believe so. This is not a model that generates pixels frame by frame from user input like genie 3. Instead, there’s an actual 3D scene / structure generated (point cloud, 3dgs) from the input images.

Yeah. I helped build the temple last couple of years. I highly recommend it.

You can also stay an extra day. Help clean up and leave with zero traffic. I’ve done it myself.

People were already wearing watches along smartphones. Smartwatches didn’t need a new user habit formation.

You can definitely create new habits (like people wearing ear buds for hours a day) but need a strong thesis and cost-benefit analysis that is net positive when considering alternatives.

Also Microsoft couldn’t match Apple taste with effectively all resources in the world. And they really tried.

True taste is interesting because is more like a worldview, a modus operandi, a continuous process… those are harder to replicate.

How and when VAR should be applied is an ongoing contentious discussion not exclusive to the World Cup.

I actually loved the 48 teams. It will probably expand to 64 next cup. More people tune in, nice surprises, upsets, cinderella stories.

Access and price of tickets has been a problem for a long time and getting worse for every live event. Not exclusive to the World Cup.

There are obviously things to improve but the game and experience for people watching and attending was pretty amazing. Leaving in the US I ve had fantastic interactions with strangers everywhere for weeks.

If that’s what a “shit show” is I’m looking forward to more ha ha
