> This research demo is not open to residents of, or those accessing the demo from, the States of Illinois or Texas. Alright, I'll bite, why not?

It's because their biometric privacy laws are written in such a general way that detecting the presence of a face is considered illegal.

I'm kinda on board with this.

Oh, nice! The first one was excellent. Now part of my Gimp toolbox. Thanks for your work!

How did you add it to gimp?

Anyone have any home project ideas (or past work) to apply this to / inspire others?

I was initially thinking the obvious case would be some sort of system for monitoring your plant health. It could check for shrinkage / growth, colour change etc and build some sort of monitoring tool / automated watering system off that.

Wonder if I can use this to count my winter wood stock. Before resuscitating my mutilated Python environment, could someone please run this on a photo of stacked uneven bluegum logs to see if it can segment the pieces? OpenCV edge detection does not cut it: https://share.icloud.com/photos/090J8n36FAd0_lz4tz-TJfOhw

Heads up that link reveals real name. Maybe edit it out if you care

thx for the heads up :) full name is in my HN profile. Good to know iCloud reveals that.

Are there people who don’t accept cookies? Don’t most websites require you to accept cookies?

In many jurisdictions requiring blanket acceptance of cookies to access the whole site is illegal, eg https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-pr... . Sites have to offer informed consent for nonessential cookies - but equally don't have to ask if the only cookies used are essential. So a popup saying 'Accept cookies?' with no other information doesn't cut it.

I used the original SAM (alongside Grounding DINO) to create an ever growing database of all the individual objects I see as I go about my daily life. It automatically parses all the photos I take on my Meta Raybans and my phone along with all my laptop screenshots. I made it for an artwork that's exhibiting in Australia, and it will likely form the basis of many artworks to come.

I haven't put it up on my website yet (and proper documentation is still coming) so unfortunately the best I can do is show you an Instagram link:

Not exactly functional, but fun . Artwork aside it's quite interesting to see your life broken into all its little bits. Provides a new perspective (apparently, there are a lot more teacups in my life than I notice).

Hi from Germany. In case you were wondering, we regulated ourselves to the point where I can't even see the demo of SAM2 until some other service than Meta deploys it. Does anyone know if this already happened?

Looking at it right now from Denmark. You must have some other problem.

It’s more like “Meta is restricting European access to models even though they don’t have to, because they believe it’s an effective lobbying technique as they try to get EU regulations written to their preference.” The same thing happened with the Threads app which was withheld from European users last year for no actual technical reason. Now it’s been released and nothing changed in between. These free models and a…

Not saying you're wrong, but in this instance it might be a regulation specific to Germany since the site works just fine from the Netherlands.

Can run on CPU (slower) or AMD GPUs.

What about Mac/Metal?

this is what I was getting at, i tried on my mbp and no luck. might be just an installer issue but I wanted confirmation from someone with more know-how before diving in
