This seems like a good idea but also just fun. I can’t train a frontier model but maybe I could compete in the 16 GB tier. I would suspect there are a ton of optimizations out there for the taking that aren’t being considered because frontier models are way above these weight classes

Very interesting, I work in a similar space with diverse cameras and we’ve been using DepthAnything for a while, but I hadn’t seen these new models yet so thanks!

The association model seems like the special sauce, anything more you can share about that? Architecture, inputs and outputs etc. I’m always really interested in unique CV models.

Cool project, any specific reason you went with YOLOv7?

I know you aren't going to release the dataset but I'd be interesting in any info you are willing to share on augmentations you used and how you generated the synthetic imagery, and what sort of lift you got out of it.

It would be interesting to know what other solutions exist in this space and why they weren’t chosen.

I know of at least one, GeoMesa, which seems like it could at least provide the building blocks to achieve what they are trying to do.

Next.js, material-ui, trpc

Most of what you need to get something functional and not totally ugly, not a lot that you don’t.

In this case the correct analogy would be you brought a stolen painting into your house, looked at it for a while, and then produced your derivative work.

Surely you see the issue here? Receiving stolen property?

What would you use instead?

While he doesn't call it out these ideas mirror Clayton Christensen's Jobs To Be Done. For people who are interested in this concept that would probably be a good place to start looking, as there are a lot of articles and related resources under that name.

Iris Construction | Senior Designer | Salt Lake City, Utah | Full-time

Construction – a $10T/year industry – loses hundreds of billions of dollars a year due to poor communication. Other industries have enjoyed meaningful productivity gains over the last 20 years thanks to innovations like Slack and Salesforce, but productivity in construction has been flat. Project managers are stuck with frustrating, messy workflows based in email, sticky notes, and Excel spreadsheets.

Iris’ goal is to build thoughtful human-centric software for construction. We aim to leverage our understanding of the people and processes in the space to help transform not just the productivity of the industry as a whole, but the working lives of those who make it happen.

We are looking for an empathetic design thinker to help us make this happen.

The Innovator's Dilemma has a ton of examples of this.

Why don't you just link to an API route, consume the tracking params, set a cookie, and redirect to a statically rendered page?

How much time have you spent looking for great, unique designers? Not just digital but physical too, on local messages boards, farmer's markets, at local schools?

How much time have you spent looking for unique "electronic dance music"? Have you gone to small local events showcasing house, techno, grime, etc? Have you found the small sections of the internet where people are innovating new electronic sounds?

How often do you search for unique audiovisual content creators? On the large sites sure, but everywhere in between?

A low cost of entry, combined with a low overhead to find something close to what you want, means that, sure, there is both a lot of sameness and that sameness seems to be staring you in the face.

When you look below the surface though, a huge amount of content is getting created, by people who in the past might not have been able to. Electronic music artists who couldn't afford physical synths, drum machines, and recording equipment. Visual artists who can do more with a phone than almost anyone with specialized cameras.

So peak homogenisation? No.

Peak content output per person? Probably also no, it's still going up, but I suspect this is what you are observing.
