@kcase@mastodon.socialWhether you’re a writer or a student, an attorney or a software developer, outlines can help clarify and develop ideas and concepts. And the beginning of the year is a great time to take a step back from our ground-level to-do lists, to think about our plans more strategically at the 10,000-foot level. I’m doing this now myself, looking back at the past year and thinking about the year ahead, and find OmniOutliner indispensible for giving structure to those thoughts.

@arXiv_csGR_bot@mastoxiv.pageLearning to Build Shapes by Extrusion

https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.22858 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.22858 https://arxiv.org/html/2601.22858
arXiv:2601.22858v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We introduce Text Encoded Extrusion (TEE), a text-based representation that expresses mesh construction as sequences of face extrusions rather than polygon lists, and a method for generating 3D meshes from TEE using a large language model (LLM). By learning extrusion sequences that assemble a mesh, similar to the way artists create meshes, our approach naturally supports arbitrary output face counts and produces manifold meshes by design, in contrast to recent transformer-based models. The learnt extrusion sequences can also be applied to existing meshes - enabling editing in addition to generation. To train our model, we decompose a library of quadrilateral meshes with non-self-intersecting face loops into constituent loops, which can be viewed as their building blocks, and finetune an LLM on the steps for reassembling the meshes by performing a sequence of extrusions. We demonstrate that our representation enables reconstruction, novel shape synthesis, and the addition of new features to existing meshes.

@m0les@aus.socialHappy new year and all that. Maybe now's a good juncture to start looking into the usual new-year activities:
- Making some self-improvement resolution you won't stick to for more than a fortnight.
- Replacing the batteries in your fire alarm (with alkaline cells, not rechargeable!)
- Unsubscribe from all those marketing lists you've been binning for all of 2025.
- Be nicer to everyone and be nicest to the ones you love.

@cdarwin@c.imProud to see UC Press books recognized across these best-of lists.
From pandemic response and climate history to teaching,

these books reflect the kind of publishing we believe in:
books that challenge assumptions,
recover overlooked lives,
and bring complex ideas into public conversation.
Bold, field-defining scholarship for the public good

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
Last weekend our granddaughter visited to help decorate our tree and we watched Elf, a movie about #Christmas spirit, because we were feeling Christmassy. I think the majority of Canadians believe in the spirit of this season. We're a little bit more polite and kinder, if that's even possible, and underneath the snark, the passive aggressiveness, the ##ElbowsUp, is a pack of big cuddly beavers. You don't have to take my word for it because places like Quebec City, Banff, and Vancouver regularly end up on lists for best places to sit on Santa's knee. He lives in Canada so not a surprise. Did you know that in 2018, Canada was ranked as #1 most Christmassy country in the world. They can't put it on the internet if it isn't true.
