GitHub trending repos of today

ToonCrafter is a generative cartoon interpolation tool that leverages pre-trained image-to-video diffusion priors to interpolate between two cartoon images and generate an animated video.

MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 is a powerful 8B parameter multimodal language model that surpasses proprietary models like GPT-4V-1106 and Gemini Pro in overall performance, while also being efficiently deployable on end-side devices.

The Bussin Web X repository is an alternative to the World Wide Web, featuring its own custom browser, Bussin Napture, written in Rust with GTK, CSS and Lua engines, and a custom DNS for non-traditional domain names. It also includes code for a custom search engine, all helping to establish a unique browsing ecosystem. What you can do with it: Use it to explore a different browser environment with its unique coding and browsing specifications, make buss:// sites following the repo's guidelines/codes, or expand upon the code to enhance or customize the browsing experience.

Curated picks and most shared articles on techtok.today

The article explores how data structures and algorithms have transformed our world, enabling both benefits and chaos. It calls for a new approach that embraces the messiness of reality, rather than trying to impose rigid systems, and leverages technology to help people navigate complex contexts with fluidity.

How will software change with LLMs? This articles draws interesting parallels with the internet's transformation of media, citing the cost of software creation will be driven to zero, like it happened to content creation as user generated content flourished. Historically, media and software were expensive to produce, requiring significant investment. Just as user-generated content reshaped media, LLMs would democratize software development, leading to a surge in diverse, dynamic solutions and reducing the dominance of traditional software companies.

'Project P.I.' scans millions of products daily to detect defects, ensuring customers receive items in perfect condition and reducing waste from returns. Items pass through a scanning tunnel where AI checks for damage or incorrect specifications, isolating flawed products and the system evaluates if there’s an issue with similar items, tracking down the root cause. Currently, it operates at several fulfillment centers in North America with plans of expansion throughout 2024.

China's Chang'e-6 robotic Moon-lander has successfully collected the first rock samples from the far side of the Moon. The samples, expected to weigh up to 2 kilograms, are from the landing site in the South Pole-Aitken basin (the oldest and largest lunar impact basin), believed to be the nearest surface to the mantle.
