I'm very interested in converting images to 3d models. Really cool tech that feels like it's nearly there.

Have you by chance seen any of the work Facebook has been doing related to the 2d to 3d conversions?

Yes you're correct. That's why I thought having a dome of raspberry pis around a turntable, getting multiple angles at once, but also the movement would provide a solid dataset to be able to train a neural network to generate a 3D model of a person, or an object or possibly even an animal from a single photo, sort of like PifuHD.

If there were more languages, then it'd be `console.log("System.out.println({python_source})")`, etc. The problem then becomes quoting and escaping inner quotes. I managed to avoid the problem by using both single and double quotes, and relying on Python's `repr` also giving valid JS strings, but if I had to add one more language I'd have problems.

I still think the Quine Relay is a tour de force, but for different reasons. It's not 128 quines in different languages, but an incredibly robust system for quoting and escaping strings in 128 different languages.

One of the most impressive works I've seen: https://github.com/mame/quine-relay

"Quine" is a type of program, when executed, will output itself (it's actually it's source code). It's very hard to write one. And this guy wrote a loop quine. It supposed to work like this: * A program in language A output a program in language B * The program in language B output a program in language C * The program in language C output the same program in language A which we started with

Or a Quine relay.

Why use a couple of languages, when you can use 128 of them simultaneously? https://github.com/mame/quine-relay

Quine relay [1] is to this day the most "I will never understand this" brainfuck project I have ever seen.

Go look at a programming quine and tell me it isn't art.
