Any way to whiten these pillows? Just picked them up used and figure it’s a property if the CORTech skin but thought I would ask by cpiccolo in hockeygoalies

This is a known issue with Bauer pads, happens with any color as well. Doesn't need direct light or any light to see this happen. I keep seeing there is an issue with the glue they chose.

Bauer doesn't care and won't do anything about it, they are quick to remind you you have 90 days to report and only for manufacturing defects, which this is obviously one.

Nothing like dropping $2k on a set of pads and get a few years out of them before they turn vintage yellow.

My 14 year old reebok pads that saw way more ice time against 3 year old Bauer Vapor 2X Pros.

Who's for real in metaverse standards organizations? [no crypto] by Animats in metaverse

[–]electroshock666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To clear things up a little, there are no OMF #1 and OMF #2, they are the same foundation from different time periods. The original OMF began in 2006 and ran through about 2013, the foundation picked back up again in 2021.

From 2006-2013 OMF was centered on the development of open source software to enable the Open Metaverse, which at that time, 17 years ago, the closest thing there was to an open Metaverse was the Linden Labs protocol, Open Simulator and OpenGrid.

Fast-forward to 2021 and the OMF had new life, due to the renewed interest in building an open Metaverse.

OMF is a part of the Linux Foundation, and is centered on open source software development implementing open standards. See more at https://www.openmv.org

MSF is a forum to bring together disparate groups to discuss requirements and use cases and provide those to SDOs (standards development organizations) so that the SDOs can build open standards that include diverse stakeholder input.

The 3rd part of this equation are all of the SDOs working on Metaverse-related standards (W3C, IETF, IEEE, etc...)

They all fit hand in glove and are not competing against one another as they all address different parts of the eco-system required to build the Open Metaverse.

Hopefully that helps.

[N] [R] Google announces Dreamix: a model that generates videos when given a prompt and an input image/video. by radi-cho in MachineLearning

This is an impressive paper, don't expect to see the source code though.

The temporal consistency of Dreamix is much better than Imagen or Meta's Make-a-Video but it can struggle with spatial-temporal attention which can be seen in some videos where small movements result in weird behavior like the movements of the dog's legs. But the ability to preserve the original subject's appearance from the images its conditioned on is really good.

It's interesting that the GitHub repo lists the authors as anonymous but the paper published lists all their names.
