It's not the LLMs doing it, it's the people using LLM with languages that work well with LLMs vs with new languages. To your point, it can write quicksort in python easily but maybe not in some esoteric language.
A related concept is LLM-driven API design. First write the comment of what the API function should do, then let the LLM write the function call, it will pick the most expected naming and argument order, then you write the API using this function prototype.
And maybe if the LLM sometimes tries to use different naming, you could add an overload of the same API end point, as long as it doesn't clash with an existing one. So in the end for anyone using your library with an LLM it would appear to just work.
Yeah the very first comparison in the article between Blender and Mesh lab is mixing camera rotation vs object rotation.
It's also missing the absolute most natural user interface for rotating objects, which is when you are in VR or with hand tracking. If you have only one hand controller you attach the object to it so you can simply inspect it under any angle, and if you have two-hand tracking you can have translation, scale and rotation based on a virtual segment between the hands. The little Leap motion device worked like this it was very natural.
In theory if you delete something you have to recompute global illumination and remove cast shadows in the immediate environment of the removed object, but that information is baked in the gaussian splats. I think that's the kind of limitation the parent comment is talking about.
To be as accurate as possible, yes, you need to consider lighting/shadows. But trust me, in many circumstances, you can copy+paste gaussians and it looks 'good enough'. It depends on the scene and the edit you want to make.
Is this still working? Am I being blocked at the ISP level?
For me sci-hub.pub opens a simple page listing other sci-hub URLs, but each and every one of them fails, ending in "Unable to connect" as if the server did not exist. (Tested: sci-hub.ee, sci-hub.ren, sci-hub.ru, sci-hub.se, sci-hub.st, sci-hub.wf).
Is sci-hub still working for people, I haven't been able to use it for a while.
edit: Wow, it works if I go there via VPN… incredible. So sci-hub is illegal in France?
Ha! It was a trap, they are likely talking about Surface, the big table-computer. It was such a failure that they repurposed the name for something else and you might have never heard about it. We had one at work circa 2013.
> I would assume that domination over them by us would be illegal.
I don't think being given personhood would necessarily make it illegal. There is the precedent of dependent persons (mentally handicapped, babies) that have personhood but are also under the control of someone else that take decisions for them.
> There's no other kinds of not-exactly-people-rights
There are rights without requirements for people that can't function in society: babies, infants, mentally handicapped, elderly with alzheimers, etc.
They all have rights even though they can't fight for them themselves. Especially the right to not be imprisoned or killed by humans, which are the typical fundamental rights sought after for animals with high cognitive capabilities. It's not all or nothing.
Paying taxes, citizenship and ability to travel are one level of abstraction higher and has nothing to do with these fundamental rights. Similarly some other rights like the right to vote are not granted to all citizens.
