Much of Europe is importing fossil gas because they have made themselves dependent on it, because it used to be cheap, because they didn't have to pay the external costs.

This is a political issue. Fossil fuel is cheaper because consumers doesn't pay the external costs associated with them.

The latest tech is using Bitcoin mining to heat water. If you're going to use resistive heating anyway I don't hate it, even though I'm a big crypto currency skeptic.

It's a specialized job but it's not difficult finding a contractor for it. When my parents did it ~30 years ago I think it cost around $10k.

Can this turmoil be in part because investors wanting to take home some of their profits before the US midterm elections?

They address the lower PSNR for triangles compared with gaussians in the paper, basically PSNR rewards smoothness more than visual quality and gaussians are very smooth. I hadn't seen PSGR[0] before, that looks pretty good but it looks like it's pretty close to the triangle splatting. They flatten the gaussians to flat primitives with varying opacity like the triangles, but the authors of triangle splatting specifically call out that their window function is bounded by the triangles edges which produces better details in some areas. It kind of proves my point about 3DGS getting a lot of research and incremental improvement though, while I haven't seen any follow up research on triangle splatting. They do mention that their method would need additional steps in order to produce a connected mesh, but I think at least in their example images the surfaces looks pretty decent even thought their still made up of a triangle soup.
I just checked if they had released any follow up papers themselves, and one of the lead authors has published a paper about sparse geometry[1] that looks interesting. He's also done a couple of direct follow ups to triangle splatting called Triangle Splatting+[2] and Mesh splatting[3], that produces a connected mesh. It's at least good to see that there's still research into other techniques than just gaussians.

It's more than year old, that's pretty old in this fast moving space. I guess it's possible it will get more popular, but I haven't seen it get any traction at all, gaussian splats however are getting more and more development and adoption.

Does anyone know why triangle splatting never took off? I would think it would be much more suited to GPU rendering.

Netflix has made a depth map model that can do pretty much that, although it's used for real time visualization not final production quality.

Interesting that the only issue on CorridorKey2.0 repo is about the licensing issue, then they turned off issues.

This seems to be because of sensitive data and auditing, not just contacts.
> The risks of unregulated AI use have been noted within a number of authorities where there has also been reason to take other measures.
> Among them is the Swedish Transport Administration, where the internal audit earlier this year discovered widespread and risky use of about ten different AI services and wrote as follows:
> "We have seen several examples of problematic use of open AI services. The examples concern both the sensitivity of the information entered and how the AI-generated responses have been handled."
> Some staff will continue to have access to a dedicated platform for AI assistants—developed in-house by the Government Offices—which provides access to ChatGPT and Claude.
> Internal information also indicates that, following a review, security measures for the approved tool Copilot have been strengthened. However, the press office has declined to provide details regarding these enhancements, citing security considerations.
