2 cool things about this tunnel is that 1. it's called "Underground Shrine" and 2. you can do a tour inside. Here's a video I took when I went:
Japan had a flooding problem in Saitama. To solve this, they built 4 miles of underground tunnels 160 ft below the surface, five inflows, and an underground water tank the size of 140 olympic swimming pools Most problems are solvable if you *actually* try
5 years ago, we collected a small dataset of 3D SDFs. SDFs encode 3D surfaces via code that generate scalar fields- back then we ignored the "code" part and converted them into vector blobs. Today it feels painfully obvious that the real value was actually in the code.
Happy to have led local arrangements for #ICCP2025! Massive thanks to our volunteers for making it possible: @Dongyu_Du, @andrewyguo, Len Luong, Ali SaraerToosi, Howard Xiao, @AndrewEJXie, Sophia Yang, and @KellyKZhu! And, @Sotiris_No and Jazmin Diaz for being the best co-chairs!
HUGE shoutout to all our #ICCP2025 organizers!
sometimes unbelievable just how _unsolved_ VLMs are and how much opportunity there is in better VLMs
trying Dia for a week and realized the best application of Dia is summarizing my X feed so I don't have to look at X
