I was just about to ask why not use a sphere? since it could be thought of as a nn, it will be into NN someday. guess the splitting and merge can be compared with dropout then.
I'm no expert, but my immediate thoughts are that evaluating a gaussian blob is very simple, it's just an exponential of a distance. The edge of a sphere makes it more complicated to compute, hence slower.
For backpropagation, the differentials of a gaussian is smooth while it's not for a sphere, again because of the edge.
Now, if you want to use a sphere you probably will do something like using an opacity falloff similar to ReLU[1], making it transparent at the edge.
This should make smooth enough as such I guess, but I imagine you still have the more complicated rendering. Though I may be mistaken.
self-driving cars already in production are not explainable, at least with llm in it, we know what the network is thinking, and thus are possible to figure out what went wrong
I put some AdSense in my blog then earning like less than 100 bucks, but I left the money untouched, after a couple of years of inactive use of the account, Google sent an email and took my money. I was like WTF
Despite what our parents may have told us growing up, it does matter who starts things. If we had banned HW, and China responded by requiring joint ventures for all market entrants, that would be our bad. But the opposite is the case.
GAE went through a lot of changes after coming out, I remember the days spend on catching up its changes, so I wouldn't say it costs nothing to run 2 successive years. Even worse, after around 3 or 4 years they completely cancelled the node I am on notifying me to deal with my datae myself within limited amounte of time. Bleeding age my ass

I hear you brother. Google generally puts out the "smartest" stuff, but they don't really care about the day-to-day needs of most of their users. The idea is generally "we've thought about this a lot, and this is the best way, so change your code to handle it." The problem is that every few months, they seem to come out with a new "best way".
