Ok, so, EDGS ( Let me share some testing... insight about this work. Works well on front-facing video (now I know why they emphasize this), extracted a few views and matched with colmap, and trained very fast with dense initialization. If it's dense view, I tested with my existing data 290 camera poses, the training took 27 minutes on 4090. And the most annoying part is matching the poses. If you want fast, you need to have sparse input, but the sparse input cannot be easily matched with SFM. That is probably why the author put VGGT there but hasn't used it yet.show more

Major major props to aroha for solving a major... limitation with Seedance 2.0. If you've tried uploading audio files directly, you know that Seedance 2.0 actually changes the lyrics and even the song itself BUT if you save out a blank video with the song and upload that video as a video omni reference it gives you perfect lipsync and no style drifting of the audio. I personally haven't notice style drift but it's 100% better than a straight audio upload which makes it unusable. This is actually MAJOR!!! Those music videos you've been wanting to generate with Seedance 2.0 are now solved. I tested this myself with some audio from Suno 5.5 which is the example you're watching right now and it works! I just wish Seedance 2.0 would actually fix the audio upload problem but this is an immediate fix. You don't need to type out the lyrics like I did. I think the best use case for using just an audio file is only if you want to keep a characters voice consistent.show more

" Bulkie Detective Blooper Preview " This is among... the many bloopers I plan to have after a video that fully shows the prequel I posted in the past with a few blooper extras. It's gping to be on YouTube in the future. This was animated with Atlabs AI And I used the art of McTaylis to help make this ( I failed miserably, but I still like it and that it makes me laugh ). Anyway I hope you all get a laugh from this too. This may be my favorite bloopers among the batch if not among them. Also the characters name is Aurore ( I misspelled her name in a post where I Drew her by hand and I am seeing that over and over now... ) and she is very hot and belongs to McTaylis. This actually held her design very well but sadly I could not use it. Also algorithm this is SFW. Do not flag it! This was animated with AtlabsAi. This was all done with Ai. #atlabsai #furrygrowth #musclegrowthanimation #musclegrowthshow more

I was quiet about My birthday this year because…well,... I simply felt like it 💁🏻‍♀️ but I’ve been really so touched by Ezada taking the time to have dinner together in London, the incredibly thoughtful gift (with the help of Giada!), and this beautiful friendship, that I would like to now share it with all of you ♡ In My opinion, this behind the scenes is real FemDom. Powerful Femmes who can support and collaborate with each other on many levels enjoying time together with Our collared ones close by. mulțumesc foarte mult Ezada Sinn (safe to browse at work) Giada Da Vinci aka Padrona Era I still have a few more birthday celebrations left, so if you are inspired to continue the celebration with Me but have yet to make yourself known is a lovely way to introduce yourself. Thank you also to My sweet subs who have sent birthday wishes. I will gush about you all later (maybe)show more

Kitten update #8: The kitties are back home! Everyone... is getting very strong and active now. I forgot to take their weights this morning so I'll have to do it before the next feeding, but I'm confident everyone is continuing to gain. We started adding in some wet food today. I mixed up a slurry with some of the formula and stuck it in a syringe with a nipple on it. Nobody took to it right away except gray tuxedo, who loved it, but everyone else got some squirted in while they were chewing on the milk nipple and then they loved it. Well, except for dark tortie, which is a little ironic since she is by far the biggest little monster of the litter, but I guess she's done so well on the formula she's not interested in making a change yet. Butts are all looking SO much better now that I stopped using the wet wipes. However, we have now started to have some concerns about little to no pooping. Dark tortie hasn't pooped for 24 hours so I eliminated the yogurt from the formula and am crossing my fingers for some action before the end of the day or back to the vet she goes. I don't know how long they'll let me play with their tummies like this but it sure is fun for now!show more

"When I traveled to Mengze in the south, I... studied the poetry there. This is a verse I composed—a gift for you, Commandant." I drift by boat across Mengze, where mist and waves stretch endlessly. Upon a mat of orchid grass, I pour cassia wine, longing for the one on my mind. Deer graze on the crown daisy; herons glide through the heart of the water. I push through the dense reeds in this tiny boat, weaving a gown of rainbows from duckweed and lotus leaves. The view before me is most breathtaking; my heart is at ease. Yet, with none to share it with, a loneliness lingers. I have prepared cakes and tea. As I hold these flowers in my arms, I hope for but one thing—to visit this place with you, Commandant. — Happy Activation Date, Hanying!show more

This is what “rich” looks like I wake up... everyday feeling like I hit the lotto. Not when I’m up on a trade or when I drive one of my cars, but in quiet moments like this. Just a few years ago, I was facing prison time. Broke. Delivering food on DoorDash to scrape together a few hundred bucks to fund my trading account. We shared a one-bedroom apartment with $500 to our name after bills. The journey from there to here wasn’t overnight. It wasn’t glamorous. It was a grind that broke me down before it built me up…but it made me the man I am today. Yes, I have the cars and watches now that people associate with success. But I can tell you with absolute certainty…they don’t compare to this. Building a life with someone who believed in you when nobody else did and winning the game of life Trading changed my financial situation, but gratitude changed my life. If you’re reading this and still in the grind, just keep pushing. I know it may seem like it will never work, but it will. You have to believe that. You have to be thankful for every little thing because without the bad there is no good. Without the bad you become weak. The most important thing is to remember what you’re working towards and make sure there is real meaning behind it. There’s nothing wrong with cars or a lavish lifestyle… But the only way you’ll have the hunger to get it and sustain it long term… Is by having a higher purpose that you constantly remind yourself of.show more

Colmap 4.0 was very recently released, so it inspired... me to do some work to better understand it and its new capabilities with Rerun. I want to really understand how Colmap, and in particular, pycolmap, works outside of just calling it via the CLI. So my goal is to use the low-level pycolmap API to log every part of the pipeline. The explicit goal is to have an alternative to the SQLite database that I can utilize. Instead of SQLite, I want to try logging everything directly to rerun and use RRD. This means I can have deep inspectability and still save the features/matches/2D view geometry, but be able to view it directly in rerun. I think this is one of the superpowers that rerun provides; data and visualizations are deeply integrated. As I'm often working with sequential data (videos), I'm going to specifically focus on four things: 1. Monocular Video Simple: Calls high-level APIs such as pycolmap.extract_features, pycolmap.match_sequential, pycolmap.incremental_mapping. These are basically identical to the CLI options and provide a good baseline. 2. Monocular Video Streamed: Take the above high-level APIs and break them down to their iterator version, logging each component in a streamed manner. This way, I can stream the intermediate features to rerun while the extraction/matching/mapping is happening. 3. Rig with unknown calibration: <- WHAT THE VIDEO SHOWS This is probably the most interesting version and the first one I've been working on. It allows one to set a rig between known sensors, such as in VR/AR devices, leading to much better reconstructions with multiple cameras. This is the case where we don't know the calibration a priori, so we have to run a reconstruction twice: once as a normal Colmap reconstruction with no rig constraints, use this to generate the constraints, and then do it again with the newly found rig. 4. Rig with known calibration: This is the RoboCap example, where we have a pre-calibrated set of sensors, so we don't need to run the two reconstructions and also gain better matching between cameras, both spatially and temporally. Again, this leads to a much better reconstruction! Along with all this, GLOMAP has become a first-class global mapper, making it super easy to use directly within pycolmap! I'm excited to do more with this and compare it to things like pycuvslam, vipe, and other alternatives.show more

Some updates on the multiview vistadream pipeline with Rerun!... Rerun came in extremely useful here, as being able to visualize depths at each stage of the pipeline allowed me to debug some nasty bugs. Since the last time, I was only working with a single image input. I've added in VGGT as my multiview pose + depth estimator. It works REALLY well for getting camera poses, but the depths are not that great. To try and fix that, I estimated depth maps from MoGeV2 for each of the views, and scale+shift aligned them so that they would match up to the confident sections of VGGT's depth predictions. You can see in the video just how much sharper the visualized 2d depth maps are! The biggest issue continues to be the multiview consistency 🫠 That's up next, along with actually training the Gaussian splat. Lots of work went into actually understanding inputs+outputs for VGGT. I had some funky bugs where the confidence values would all collapse to true I'm also really excited for this pipeline to use Difix3D+ Nvidia instead of Flux Inpainting, it seems like a better suited for a multiview pipeline.show more

Today I was disqualified for the first time in... my cycling career (14 years), for wearing glasses that record video. Unfortunately I was not aware of a new rule that was implemented in April that prohibited this. A warning, fine or yellow card could have also been enough. But what I struggle to understand is why In the Tour de France can you quite literally vlog with a camera in your hand which is perfectly legal...but because the camera is in the glasses you get an automatic Disqualification?! Yes, If I knew about the rule I would have also never posted it on social media. Anyways, I'll take it on the chin. Here is the video that got me disqualified & the other video is just to show what is completely allowed it seems. And lastly, my glasses have absolutely no AI capabilities unless used with a phone. So on the bike it can do nothing but record video!show more

HTML Artifacts are a big part of how I... work with agents now. Artifacts can be more than just static files. When combined with agents, they can take action or help you take action. This unlocks all kinds of interesting ways to work with agents. This is clearly the future. Check out this writing and scheduler artifact I built in a few minutes. It uses a bit of HTML and JS. All the data is in markdown (Obsidian vaults), so the agent can access and modify it at any time. No DB needed. No sophisticated functionalities. The agent decides all that for me based on the skills, context, and memory it has access to. The best part about this simple stack is that all the important information stays with me. This has allowed me to build a recursive self-improving system and automations that can better tap into coding agents like Codex or Claude Code. I could have paid or built an entire app for scheduling posts, and there are so many of them out there. But I don't need to. I've realized a simple artifact does the job. And the simplicity of it is actually an advantage. Very little maintenance for very high returns on personalization, time, and efficiency. The other benefit of this is that I can add features as I please. That level of personalization feels magical, and we should all be pursuing more of it. All of this just keeps compounding. Of course, this example is just about writing. But I have similar artifacts for research, design, experimentation, evaluation, and so much more. And no, I didn't actually publish the post example I shared in the clip. It was just for demonstration purposes. I actually spend more time than this when writing together with agents. Lastly, having built my own agent orchestrator tool has made me realize that simplifying the tool stack is a superpower. If you are curious about how all this works, I will do a live session next week:show more

Seedance 2.5 launched today. But it fairly disappointed me.... In terms of the realistic side, I know it's doing very good! But for the anime side, it's a true regression. The model has an insane amount of noise that is literally so weird. Fast-paced actions feel like paintings, not true anime anymore. I don't know what happened with the training of this model, but in terms of anime, it became a true regression. There is better camera work on 2.5! That's for sure, but the quality took a heavy, heavy hit (art style as well). I hope Dreamina AI sees this. But a fix is needed because anime is totally broken on this model at the current moment.show more
