Alright who’s making this

How does one keep track? The monodepth/tracking field these days:

Align3R: estimates camera poses and consistent depth maps from monocular videos.

Combining it with trackers like Cotracker3 or SAM2 could unlock many fun applications! (cf: VideoDoodles by Yu & al)

Am I the only one amazed that this is what 2*4TB (with thermal case) looks like now?

😮 - wall street seems to take the news well though

The past few months have been... intense! There's still quite some work to do before the finish line, but excited to launch in the coming weeks 💪⚡️

Resemble Enhance seems pretty good: github.com/resemble-ai/...

SAMURAI: improve the tracking robustness of SAM2 with 2 main contributions:
- adding motion information to the mask selection
- curating the memory bank based on motion cues

Pyramid Flow is quite impressive for img2video, given than it was only trained on public datasets. Clearly not as dynamic and stable as commercial solutions, but the gap seems to be closing github.com/jy0205/Pyram...

A bit surprised with this data from Clerk on sign-in methods preferences: From a sample of 2.5M sign-in, <2% of users chose to use magic links.

Yes as a new comer from just a few days I've been a bit surprise by the poor relevance of the Discover suggestions, and lack of alternative algorithms. I guess it's a tricky balance and they've favored a smooth transition from X, which they've nailed. It's been super smooth.

Since they don't need the motion direction they just use frame diff which makes it very cheap to compute!

Very cool idea for working with videos and transformers: remove duplicate patches and add length embeddings instead. They get a 40% speedup finetuning Vit-L using example packing.

Indeed!
