Being able to track a bus via GPS works well like this. It doens't matter if the bus is 20 minutes late, if you can check that the bus is 4 minutes away.

A bit like usnig the metro. You don't know the schedule, you just know the realative time to the next train


I guess the reality is, as a passenger, you either wait several minutes on the bus at a stop mid-route. Or you wait much longer at a bus stop in a crowd waiting for four buses to show up.


99 years or 999 years. AKA a leasehold


Those are quite different lengths in practice. 99 is less than some individual humans have lived. 999 is longer than any* country has continuously lived.

If I have a 999 year leasehold, that's the same as ownership in practical terms as my ownership goes away when the government fails and is replaced/taken over/overthrown.

In tech specifically, a 99 year lease is practically permanent as well. (1925 was before the first RF transmission of a television picture.)

* Maybe Japan is an exception here.


Contenders: Denmark, Hungary, China, Czechia, France, England and a bunch of others depending on how you count, like Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, Sweden etc.


Nobodys claiming no group of people lived in Denmark, Hungary, China, etc for 999+ years.

They're claiming none of their governements is over 999 years old.

Denmark's constitution is from 1849 [1].

Hungary's constitution is from 1949 / 1989 [2].

China's government is form 1949 (when the previous government got overthrown and went to Taiwan) [3].

I'm not going through the whole list.

Nothing wrong with paywalled content, given its still accessible. Especially in this case where several archive links have been provided


I'd learn. My capabilities aren't static with time


I imagine having stereo video would also help generate a depth map from disparity?


Yeh, I got my terms confused. My bad. Disparity is, I believe, only possible to get from a stereo pair. TFA presents something closer to a camera track, albeit a very short one. From a camera track it is a short hop to extracting a point cloud. What make the author's approach possibly unique is that the foreground object is in motion as well as the camera. In standard VFX foreground object motion is usually avoided.


While not as much skin, we sadly have more skin in this game as I'd wish

The election of the next President will have a large effect on the security of Europe with respect to both Russia and Israel


In what world is Israel relevant to the security of Europe?


This one?

It seems pretty clear to me that Netanyahu is trying to stir up a wider war in the Middle East. If he's successful that will be terrible for the security of all the surrounding regions, Europe included.


IMO it's more likely that Iran is the one trying to stir up a wider war in the middle east.


Honestly, it's more likely that neither of them want war, but their actions make one more likely over time.


The US and UK navies are not in the Mediterranean right now for a pleasure cruise. They're there because of the Israel-Hamas war


That didn't answer the question at all.


No answer would satisfy someone playing dumb


Given it is on the border of Europe, geography alone is a sufficient answer.


If your video source is of a static scene that the camera is moving through. You could try poly.cam

Upload you video directly to the website for Gaussian splat processing


And based on their license acknowledgments poly.cam uses nerfstudio and gsplat, in case anyone else was wondering

Buy an microSD card from Amazon, use the packaging the microSD card originally came in [1] - it is a solved problem.

Plenty of scope to add your own branding

Does anyone know if these chemical are removed via distillation processes? Not that I plan on distilling my own tap water, but just curious how "pure" distilled water can be


To anyone (thinking of) distilling: re-mineralize it post-distillation if your daily fluid intake is over dunno 2-3L. Whether your minerals powder has "forever-chemical" traces or not. Don't want to risk creeping chronic lowish sodium levels, which can do a real number on electrolyte balance, nerves system / neurology, mood and mental sharpness (in the programmer sense) and concentration abilities.


https://www.ewg.org/research/getting-forever-chemicals-out-d...

https://www.epa.gov/sciencematters/reducing-pfas-drinking-wa...

TLDR Activated carbon and reverse osmosis primarily. Distillation is most effective, but is more energy intensive (due to the energy required to evaporate and condense) and if used for drinking, should be re-minalized (sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium salts).
