This looks interesting. Little sad that even though it supports iOS, the license is LGPL 2.1 - seems like a dealbreaker for anyone who would like to release any project based on it to App Store. Unless EU will use bigger stick on Apple and

The difference with self-driving cars hype is that they need to be 99.999% good so pretty much perfect to be useful on road and be incorporated mainstream. AI doing some tasks 90% as good as human is good enough. Self driving cars got massi

one year ago I was thinking about ~10 years and at least safe 5 years. Considering how it's all progressing right now and we had chatGPT just 15 months ago I think you might be right or salaries will get reduced significantly.

Depth estimation improved a lot as well e.g. with Depth-Anything [0]. But those are mostly relative depth instead of metric. Also when even converted to metric they still seems have a lot of pointclouds at the edges that have to be pruned -

It seems that Warp.dev also might be using GPUI - at least that was my impression based on their website [0] (I might be wrong though). Which is a good think that another popular project is consuming such crate. [0] "... we partnered
