Announcing "torch.compile: the missing manual": docs.google.com/document/d/1y5… The performance/memory sections are not done yet, but everything else is as much hard won debugging knowledge that I could write down from Meta's deployments of PT2. Feedback welcome!

DepthAnythingV2 for Nuke - AI Depth Estimation Hey everyone, I've integrated DepthAnythingV2 as a Cattery Inference node. Now you can generate great Z-depth passes directly within Foundry's Nuke! ✨ It's free, easy to install, and runs even on Nuke 13 🥳 github.com/rafaelperez/De…

@kelseyhightower GitHub has an interesting post about open source success and it seems due to non-code contributions. I personally agree, great and well designed docs and tutorials tend to sway me over. github.com/readme/feature…

@e_salvaggio I think we will get there, but also creating something you couldn’t make otherwise is usually a matter of budget and skills, and some shots here are way out of reach for most productions.

@Rainmaker1973 We have almost 100 years of visual effects without using CGI, some with ultra large budgets. Most of them look charming, a few look silly, but they rarely impress people today. That's why CGI is needed.

Nowhere is cultural acceleration more evident than in the movies. As Andrej Karpathy says, movies from before 1995 are slow, boring and naive.

@tvaziri @tvaziri how are you sleeping with every single director promoting that his movie has no vfx?

@n00buntu @adad8m The non-experts are just experts in other areas. Just because you built the jet engine doesn’t make you competent as an air pilot.

@GamersNexus The visual effects industry would be happy seeing the Side FX Houdini for the 3D tests and Foundry’s Nuke on the 2D side. Both scale well under multithreaded scenarios.

@mattshumer_ Yes, I use this constantly for code reviews and merge requests. My favorite is asking to reply like @ID_AA_Carmack, @jimkxa or @RobertDowneyJr Iron Man. Usually I need to dial down the acting, but it is still pretty fun. On bad days, I ask to reply like @Linus__Torvalds.

@ylecun Maybe the creators are, but the whole tech scene is approaching this with a ton of disdain and intellectual dishonesty. We can assemble a tractor without a farmer, that's not true for these AI models.
