#22CLIP is a very interesting technology.
On my previous job ML department created internal tool, where you could search through city panoramas (like google street view) using text.
It could find you in a second all road pits, overfilled dumpsters and other ugly (and beautiful) things you wanted.

#23Last year we added CLIP-based image search to https://immich.app/ and even though I have a pretty good understanding of how it works, it still blows my mind damn near every day. It's the closest thing to magic I've ever seen.
Happy immich user here! I once took a cute photo of our baby
chewing on a whisk, and actually finding the correct photo in an unsorted, untagged huge pile of photos by simply searching for "whisk" was a mindblow experience! It is an amazingly powerful tool!

#24It's very cool to see how it's now possible to easily replicate old Google Photos features in 10 hours using open-source tools on a laptop.
I think this is based off Google research https://github.com/google-research/big_vision

#28Hey @harper, you ever write about your vision quests?
Rarely. They are mostly bust fucking around. I will try to document the current one more.
Fwiw, my recent blog is me trying to do this more

#29Did you host any version of this on the cloud for the general public to access?
Nope. I would love to make something public using this tech. It is so magical.

Thank you for your introduction!
After creating Queryable, I also developed an app called MemeSearch, which searches for memes on Reddit (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memesearch-reddit-meme-finder/...). Although it's completely free, it hasn't been downloaded by many users. I thought nobody wanted it, so I'm glad to see there are still some people who share a similar taste.
