Please do post to GitHub, I have a Samsung projector I'd love to root

The thing that got me back into pirating is having to pay extra for 4k. When every bit of extra enjoyment is taxed it just kills my joy. Like a lot of people in this thread I really would much rather just pay for a good product than pirate. Thanks to steam I haven't pirated a video game since I was a teen.

Do you have a good/entertaining source for this? I'd love to read (or watch/listen) more about it

I really enjoyed this deep dive on how far video games have come. Also with ~900 views this video is likely to be buried too quickly for the HN crowd to see it otherwise.

That was a very higher quality YT video. It's clearly written by someone who knows when they're talking about even though it's mostly non-technical

yes! couldn't agree more with your long post. Especially this part: "(This is exacerbated when components of the automation require internal-only tooling—the poor data scientist now needs to go read through a bunch of half-written, out-of-date documentation about tools they simply don't care about to do a task that is not a core responsibility for them.)"

"Vertical integration" in my experience has just been turning a group of simple tools into a complex monolith that no one understands and is extremely difficult to debug

Sorry to pile on but, the google sign on also turned me away. I have a google account and usually use it to sign up for sites I'm interested in but when it's used to gate content that could be accessible without a login I just feel like my data is being harvested.

If you really want to keep the login then maybe a message like we won't spam email you unless asked and only want your to log in to protect against bots would help.

It looks great. Quick question: Can i search through my entries? And is there any plans to use semantic/embedded vector search?

Archviz (architecture visualization) is very good for this. Just search “ue5 archviz“ on YouTube

Can you comment on how difficult this was? and how much time it took?

I've thought about doing something similar with some open source games but have just never had the time.

The work is fantastic! I hope you enjoyed making it!

It would be great if I could remove overlapping triangles then I would have near linear growth of triangles for larger images. But it's very hard to come up with a technique which removes the same overlapping triangles (and leaves the same one) and is invariant to 2D affine transformations.

For example if you have 50 overlapping triangles you have to decide which 49 to remove and you have to remove the same 49 on the query image and the matching image. But because we want to be able to do our searches in sublinear time we can't compare the two images and decided on which triangles should stay/be removed, you have to do all that in preprocessing before inserting into the database/querying. delaunay triangulation looks almost perfect but isn't invariant to 2D affine transformations
