These guys are idiots. The news sources (Iran International etc) that claimed the 30,000 figure have since backtracked on their claim. Mossad and CIA were using Starlink to incite terrorism in their country so the Iranians shut the internet down, discovered the Starlinks (these idiots didn't bother to research how), and apprehended the terrorists who were operating them.

Now that the government has published the list of those dead, all those thousands of excess "killed" could come out and claim their deceased are not on the list. But such a thing hasn't happened. Let's wait and see.

Thanks for your work!

From my experience, NERF works great, but depends on highly accurate camera location information. Unless the VR device has this baked in, one must run a Colmap-style or SFM-style process to generate those camera extrinsics. Is there anything special HybridNeRF does around this?

Anyone who's paying attention sees what's going on. But no one has the will and skill to stop them.

When news like this hits the front page of HN, I wonder to what degree it's because HN has many readers of AS Byatt, and to what degree it's because Paul Graham or the ones running the show here happened to have read her work. If the latter, it's like PG&Co just getting us familiar with their particular culture.

Looks like they'll mostly move to Microsoft and destroy the founding charter of OpenAI in the process.

A holocaust is a holocaust, and a war is a war. Cutting off water, food, and telling people to leave while you bomb the exits is a holocaust, not war. Use the right terminology, please.

Too many of my female classmates and family in the West are now single and childless...we have a serious family problem and sexualize our women too much...the West should stop betraying its own women before concerning itself with Iran.
