  • I was surprised to learn that the

        M1 Max CPU is an ARM/SoC, comparable to an 11th gen Intel i9
    Do I have it right? Would Windows ARM performance be similar for those cpu?

  • Does it work for porn collections too?

  • DaVinci 21 has indexing built-in (AI IntelliSearch). Not to diminish the work you did, but this is now available to many users (probably only Studio users since it has AI in the name)

    Aha, it makes total sense. This number sounds much more reasonable than “669 GB”, since the actual total size of processed frames would be like 10-30 GB.

    (Not downplaying anything. Doing-at-home always requires some math on practicality)

    I’m just curious tho — is there any paying options that can accelerate this kind of process? Just spin up GPU instances?

  • Something I've enjoyed more than I expected is Google and Apple photos sending me photo memories and compilations of various things in my life and my kids lives over the last decade.

    I'm really bullish on taking more video of my kids, with the thought that it will become easier and easier for AI to put them into little compilations I can enjoy later.

  • Funny this is almost EXACTLY what I did a few days ago on the same machine using very similar techniques and was on the front-page of HN as well:

    I wasn't familiar with your project though, interesting stuff.

    I'm trying to add more photography related features to Framedex but yeah there's so much we can do locally, exciting times.
