darshanmakwanaon Learning the Integral of a Diffusion Model

This is way outside of my expertise, can anyone given a TL;DR or ai;dr?

It depends on an individual's personal taste of how he/she understands things, some people like to YOLO and tinker while some like to read docs first before looking at any code and some like to do both synchronously. To me it seems the reason why there is no basis that one solution works better than others is exactly why it's easy to make trending/popular repos these days

This is awesome! Where can I find the music from the DJ booth? I can listen to that all day

What's the point of baking the best and most impressive models in the world and then serving it with degraded quality a month after releases so that intelligence from them is never fully utilised??

darshanmakwanaon Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)

Last week I wanted to quickly view some Gaussian splats which I had trained on a remote server that didn’t have any open ports or a display device. So I ended up downloading everything locally just to inspect the results

This weekend I put together a terminal-based Gaussian splats viewer that renders directly in the terminal. It works over SSH and currently runs on CPU only and written in rust with claude code. I’ve found it to be pretty useful for quickly checking which .ply files correspond to which scenes and getting a rough sense of their quality.

Along the way, I also wrote a small tutorial on the forward rasterization process for Gaussian splatting on CPUs. You can check out the project here

There is definitely a correlation but I don't believe it's the causation

Haha, fair point! I was just sharing it in case someone wanted a quick read : )

This is awesome! I will try to use them locally with opencode and see if they are usable inreplacement of claude code for basic tasks

Really nice to see this!

Yeah I use that plugin too. I was just referencing it in relation to how I setup my blog[1]

I simply just draw in excalidraw and take a ss and past it in my obsidian note, I have a setup that automatically parses posts from my vault and then pushes them to my site
