This is a mind-blowing paper.
They reconstructed 3D scenes from reflections in the human eye.
Here's how they did it:
"we train the radiance field on the eye reflections by shooting rays from the camera, and reflecting them off the approximated eye geometry. To remove the iris from showing up in the reconstruction, we perform texture decomposition by simultaneously training a 2D texture map that learns the iris texture."

ChatGPT’s current killer app isn’t search, therapy, doing math, controlling browsers, emulating a virtual machine, or any of that other cherrypicked examples that come with huge disclaimers.
It’s a lot more quotidian:
Reformatting information from any format X to any format Y.

TikTok users feel its algorithm is eerily accurate. But from everything we know about the algorithm, it's a pretty standard recommender system of the kind that every major social platform uses. TikTok's real innovation is something else.

1/ Too often engineers' work & vis is narrowly scoped to an assigned ticket.
They miss the big picture, implementation gets fragmented, they lose motivation and everything moves slower.

France just legislated that every parking lot for 80 cars or more must be covered by solar panels
That’s 11GW of new solar (same as 10 new nuclear reactors) powering millions of home - zero new land needed
Climate action is happening, just not at #COP27
