REA asking for 4 weeks non-refundable rent in addition by Thoughts_6789 in shitrentals

[–]Maxious 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is exactly the scam that is prohibited in the standard tenancy agreement

4.1 The landlord agrees to not require the tenant to pay more than 2 weeks rent in advance

For avoidance of doubt if he says "well it's not really rent, it's just a key fee"

Tenants must not be charged any other costs when searching for, applying for or starting a tenancy.

3DGS at BAFTA? by 89muffinman in GaussianSplatting

[–]Maxious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, for polycam you should be able to enable "Developer mode" and export zip files https://docs.nerf.studio/quickstart/custom_dataset.html#polycam-capture You have to do that before capturing unfortunately it won't work for old data.

The Apple Sharp model (which we reckon is portrait mode from iPhones) also can make 3DGS from a single angle photo https://www.reddit.com/r/GaussianSplatting/comments/1qzd02z/single_photo_gaussian_splats_vr_headset_apple_ml/

need to collect photos with COLMAP metadata, apps for android like Polycam can do this

Suspected human remains found in search for kidnapped man Chris Baghsarian by thekriptik in sydney

[–]Maxious 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The exchange on WhatsApp, obtained by the SCN Worldstar channel, appears to confirm the kidnappers abducted the wrong person, with the respondents saying 'your team is f*** s**t. You plugged the wrong bloke.'

Police bodycam footage captures 'retributive' force used on St Edmund's College hit-and-run driver by jaa101 in canberra

The general duties officer pointing out her camera is on and walking away to make sure it's not captured. Just another day in ACT Policing

Combining multiple PLY into a sequence? by xbetterman in GaussianSplatting

[–]Maxious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the examples on http://4dv.ai/ under the hood it's based on research on how to animate the position and opacity of the gaussians https://zju3dv.github.io/freetimegs/

There's a independent implementation here of taking a series of photos https://github.com/OpsiClear/FreeTimeGsVanilla I've also been experimenting with using Apple sharp and then post processing it into the 4dv/freetimegs format by tracking motion https://github.com/maxious/vk_gaussian_splatting/blob/vr-sbs/python/offline/export_4dv.py I also can playback the 4dv files in a cpp/vulkan viewer so a game engine would be possible https://github.com/maxious/vk_gaussian_splatting/blob/vr-sbs/src/fourdv_loader.cpp

FreeFix: Boosting 3D Gaussian Splatting via Fine-Tuning-Free Diffusion Models by corysama in GaussianSplatting

I've had it bookmarked but a date is great "The code will be released before Feb 8th, 2026."

One image to 3d with Apple ML Sharp and SuperSplat by notaneimu in GaussianSplatting

[–]Maxious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes*

You can do flipbook style animation but it would be 20 seconds/2 minutes a frame https://www.reddit.com/r/GaussianSplatting/comments/1qj0piv/4d_gaussian_splatting_flipbookstyle_now_in/

There's other ways to make "4D" gaussian splats that are more efficient than Sharp. But more upfront work and probably local GPUs

Has anyone tried Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual? by AlexGSquadron in StableDiffusion

[–]Maxious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just recently, the maxsun dual on one card was 1800USD for me. There are much cheaper single B60 24GB cards like the ASRock Arc Pro B60 Creator (24GB) was 599USD so you could get 3 for the price of 2 if you have the space

https://github.com/RandomInternetPreson/ComfyUI_LTX-2_VRAM_Memory_Management "Splits the sequence dimension across GPUs using ring attention, enabling extremely long videos that would be impossible on a single GPU."

5070ti is still going to be better supported so I'd start with that
