In the last 6 months the LocalAI team have created 17 C++ inference backends: depth-anything.cpp (from the video) — Estimates depth from ordinary images and can produce depth maps or 3D point clouds.

A key thing limiting reasoning about 3D human-object interaction in images is the lack of training data. In PICO, we propose a novel way to label human-object contacts in images and build a new dataset with dense, vertex-level, contacts on the humans and objects. We then infer the 3D object shape and pose, human shape and pose, and use contacts in an optimization method to solve for a consistent 3D configuration.
If you’re not in freefall, you’re likely contacting something. Yet 3D human-object interaction (HOI) reconstruction remains underexplored. PICO (#CVPR2025) recovers humans 🏃‍♂️, objects 🏓, and their interactions 👉🍎- all in 3D, from just a single internet image. 1/11

I’d love to humbly introduce you to something we believe is going to be a game changer for both VR and VFX. When I first tried it I couldn’t take a headset off for like 10 mins. The hair, the dress, the movements — your brain just can’t stop being mesmerized. Tech thread 🔽
It was a hell of a year doing statics, but welcome to the new era — things are about to get moving! Please meet Zista, the star of our first real-time, arbitrary-length 6DOF video, streamed on demand from a laptop SSD. Coming soon to PCVR and later for all VR headsets and SDK.

I've experienced people bend themselves into pretzels trying to find a reason to not back a black founder. It's so stupid I would think I'm gaslighting myself into believing leftist propaganda but I've literally watched it happened and seen the alternative.
** VC TIP ** When you outsource your technical diligence to a 3rd party, you are also potentially adding gender or racial bias. The technical person finds issues with the minority deal and hides his racist feelings in negative feedback and technical jargon. Sick.

ChatGP3D is about to drive a stake through the heart of static bland 3D web experiences- it's gonna be wild.🔥

Shameless self interest should never surprise anyone.
crazy that bluesky, which was designed to defend against authoritarianism, has become an app for people literally celebrating despotic rule abroad

I'm so unimpressed with generative images it makes me sad. When consistency and predictability can't be delivered reliably- it's functionally useless for world building.

Ideological capture makes you look stupid. It doesn't matter what side of the issue you're on.

People screw themselves by glamorizing what they're doing like it's going to change EVERYTHING, but usually they're just gaslighting themselves into doing nothing of value. Plumbers don't think like this. But plumbers consistently make money and deliver value.

my criticism for US based manufacturing isn't about patriotism or nationalism or whatever, it's about supply chain dynamics and and govt incentives. There isn't a single manufactured goods category that the US can produce 10K units of faster than anyone else. This is a PROBLEM.

Money is a PLACEHOLDER for value. As someone who has personally overseen teams of US companies in Asia- it's not really about the 'cost' - it's about the productivity. On the face people see cheaper, but beneath the surface, people see 'better and cheaper'.
In order to be profitable, almost every American business must outsource its employees and manufacturing to overseas. Reserve currency status has robbed us of our ability to build productive teams that can innovate.

The hardest thing about being a founder is continuing to build while the world actively shows you that they don't care. The chasm of insignificance that needs to be crossed feels overwhelming.

This is actually insane. Knowledge is becoming too cheap to meter.

One of the few books that is deeper than the title suggests. It speaks to me on a deep level:

"Founder mode" is about to be commercialized and shoved down our throats in books, podcasts, merch and more. Seems like boom times are ahead.
