I was cautiously optimistic SIGLIP2 might surprise me here... alas! Even siglip2-giant-opt-patch16-384 is mega-wonky.

I really enjoyed this! I also discovered that if you star the LanceDB repo on GitHub, you might get LinkedIn requests from their sales team, which is not a funnel I had previously considered. 🫠

FWIW I just remembered where I first saw that diagram: @fchollet.bsky.social's Deep Learning with Python.

To yours and especially @dame.is's point: a tragicomic summary of the dynamics at play that lives rent-free in my mind.

I have a vague recollection of trying an earlier version of this and having it dock points for having a Bsky link in my X: The Everything App profile, impugning my cogsec for chasing fads. Or maybe I dreamed that

Between the specter of death threats here for learning in public about forbidden applications of linear algebra, and the fact that I don't want to help delay the demise of Twitter, I've more or less given up.

I'm already blocked by 28,000 people, some of whom I respect, for *liking one post*!

I actually find myself thinking about it more often than I used to, but mainly in the context of how we've gotten so negatively polarized against the enabling technologies that I'm not sure what would happen if someone tried to invent and unveil it now.

I'm a dilettante, but I think Zotero is great. Automatically pulls metadata for whatever PDFs I throw at it, can rename files accordingly, provides annotation tools. Plus: it's a dark mode PDF reader!

They sell an (affordable) sync service, so Google Drive is probably a no-go. 300 MB free, though.

And note that I called it trolling before i saw the actor admit it was trolling, because it’s obviously and painfully trolling. It’s somewhat painful that it looks like, elsewhere in the thread, HF’s CEO is trying to treat this like good faith?

Blocked/blocking seems broken right now, presumably a side effect of explosive growth. The number going up (and eventually down) wildly is, I infer, an ill-advised attempt at a loading spinner for something that currently never loads. Lists seem to populate OK though.
