The author challenges the idea of blindly following “best practices” in programming, arguing that many are subjective opinions, not universal laws. They point out the flaws in applying these practices without critical thinking and present examples of when they may not be appropriate. The post also discusses the gaslighting effect of questioning these practices, comparing […]
In this paper, a new 3D generation framework called GaussianAnything is introduced, which addresses challenges in input formats, latent space design, and output representations. The framework utilizes a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) with RGB-D renderings as input to create a unique latent space that allows for multi-modal conditional 3D generation. The proposed method shows superior results […]
Challenges arise when modifying Chromium, as it is a complex project with critical web functionality, becoming a de facto standard. While projects may desire to inherit Chromium’s codebase, upstreaming all modifications is not practical, leading to downstream projects with patches on top of Chromium. Electron, a downstream project, effectively handles this situation by defining code […]
