The Department of Justice estimates that American police officers shoot 10,000 pet dogs in the line of duty each year.
It is impossible to ascertain a reliable number, however, because most law enforcement agencies do not maintain accurate records of animal killings.
The tally may be substantially higher, and some suggest it could reach six figures.

More than Just Collateral Damage: Pet Shootings by Police
The Department of Justice estimates that American police officers shoot 10,000 pet dogs in the line of duty each year. It is impossible to ascertain a reliable number, however, because most law enforcement agencies do not maintain accurate records of animal killings. The tally may be substantially higher, and some suggest it could reach six figures. Deferring to officers’ judgment when they reasonably fear for human safety is sound policy because they regularly must make split-second, life-o…

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo showing the upper portion of a traditional East Asian building. The foreground features a tiled roof with circular end caps, arranged in neat rows. Behind it stands a gabled structure with layered ridges and a small square window in the center of the wall. The background is softly blurred with tree branches and leaves, creating a sense of depth and serenity. The composition emphasizes symmetry and cultural heritage through arc…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black-and-white street scene featuring a traditional Chinese wall in the background. In the foreground, a leafless tree stands beside a traffic sign. The sign includes a triangular yield symbol above a rectangular directional sign with a left-pointing arrow and Chinese characters reading “机动车,” meaning “motor vehicles.” The setting feels nostalgic, with grainy texture and soft lighting evoking a quiet urban moment. 中文替代文本： 这是一张黑白街景照片，背景是一堵传统的中国墙。前…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photograph of a traditional East Asian temple partially obscured by trees and scaffolding, suggesting restoration work. The ornate tiled roof and layered eaves reflect historical architecture. In the foreground, people walk or sit along a low wall, some taking photos or chatting. The scene blends cultural heritage with modern life, capturing a moment of quiet activity near a historic site. 中文替代文本： 这是一张黑白照片，展示了一座传统东亚寺庙，部分被树木和脚手架遮挡，暗…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black-and-white image of a traditional Chinese building with a tiled roof and wooden structure, located along a tree-lined street. A speed limit sign reading “30” stands prominently, with a smaller sign below displaying the Chinese word “学校,” meaning “school.” Several people walk past in the foreground, slightly blurred by motion. The scene evokes a sense of daily life in a culturally rich environment. 中文替代文本： 这是一张黑白照片，展示了一座传统中国建筑，瓦片屋顶和木质结构，位于一条树木…

Abstract: Free-Viewpoint Video (FVV) reconstruction enables photorealistic and interactive 3D scene visualization; however, real-time streaming is often bottlenecked by sparse-view inputs, prohibitive training costs, and bandwidth constraints. While recent 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has advanced FVV due to its superior rendering speed, Streaming Free-Viewpoint Video (SFVV) introduces additional demands for rapid optimization, high-fidelity reconstruction under sparse constraints, and minimal storage footprints. To bridge this gap, we propose StreamLoD-GS, an LoD-based Gaussian Splatting framework designed specifically for SFVV. Our approach integrates three core innovations: 1) an Anchor- and Octree-based LoD-structured 3DGS with a hierarchical Gaussian dropout technique to ensure efficient and stable optimization while maintaining high-quality rendering; 2) a GMM-based motion partitioning mechanism that separates dynamic and static content, refining dynamic regions while preserving background stability; and 3) a quantized residual refinement framework that significantly reduces storage requirements without compromising visual fidelity. Extensive experiments demonstrate that StreamLoD-GS achieves competitive or state-of-the-art performance in terms of quality, efficiency, and storage.

I was quite busy this game eliminating letters, and it took a couple of guesses to get any into the correct spot. I had to type and read the answer to get it spelled correctly, but I have to do that often.
