Would you be willing to share about how much it cost to train a model like this?

Between the clear writing and the diagrams, this was a great write up. I had actually skipped reading up on mHC as it sounded like it was going to take some time to grok, but this made it immediately approachable. I hope you do more write ups like this in the future.

Yeah, looking at that example feels like jumping straight into the deep end of the pool. I think it helps going through a tutorial that breaks down the why of each piece. I really liked this tutorial on it: https://www.typeonce.dev/course/effect-beginners-complete-ge...
Some core things from Effect though that you can see in that Express example:
* Break things down into Services. Effect handles dependency injection, that's typed, for services so you can easily test them and have different versions running for testing, production, etc. * Fibers for threaded execution * Managing resources to make sure they're properly closed with scope
I think a lot of these things though often aren't truly appreciated until you've had something go wrong before or you've had to build a system to manage them yourself. *

I feel like this is particularly interesting in light of their Vision Pro. Being able to run models in a power efficient manner may not mean much to everyone on a laptop, but it's a huge benefit for an already power hungry headset.

I believe they are using the original Gaussian Splatting code from Inria under the hood: https://github.com/graphdeco-inria/gaussian-splatting

"How does “reflection” of the vase on the metal part of the table work, you might ask? The gaussians have “learned” the ages-old trick of duplicating and mirroring the geometry for reflection!"
Thank you! I'd seen people remove some of the SH coefficients while still getting reflections, and I couldn't understand how that worked. The old tricks sometimes really are the best tricks.

But,I believe this is being used for his Use.GPU project, which requires not just GPU support, but the latest WebGPU support.
