Can someone more knowledgeable than me help me understand a few points about this article ?

It claims to be diffusion-based, but the main 2 differences from an approach like Stable-Diffusion is that (1) they only consider a single step, instead of a traditional 1000 and (2) they directly predict the value z^y instead of a noise direction. According to their analyses, both of these differences help in the studied tasks. However, isn't that how supervised learning has always worked ? Aside from having a larger model, this isn't very different from "traditional" depth estimation that don't claim anything to do with diffusion.

It also claims to have zero-shot abilities, but they fine-tune the denoising model f_theta on a concatenation of the latent image and apply a loss using the latent label. So their evaluation dataset may be out-of-distribution, but I don't understand how that's zero-shot. Asking ChatGPT to output a depth estimation of a given image would be zero-shot because it hasn't been trained to do that (to my knowledge).

I'm surprised to see pytorch and Jax mentioned as alternatives but not numba : https://github.com/numba/numba

I've recently had to implement a few kernels to lower the memory footprint and runtime of some pytorch function : it's been really nice because numba kernels have type hints support (as opposed to raw cupy kernels).

I use it as my main YouTube app on my phone, it's working nice. One drawback for me is the failure if you have too many YouTube subscriptions (>200-300). I removed some creators and it's working fine. You see Grayjay's likes and comments on videos but there are very few of them (you also see YouTube comments and likes). I wish the community around it grew, it has potential.

Ins't it still possible to construct the zero value for Color ? Like how bytes.Buffer does it https://pkg.go.dev/bytes#Buffer : the implementation is not exported but you the usage is to construct the zero value and use it. So unless Color{} is a valid enum value, this solution would not work.

Where do the claims about battery life come from ? I couldn't find any independent review (yet) and I don't see any mention of it on their website.

The thread regarding Ubuntu 20.04 on the official frame.work community forum has a bit more information : https://community.frame.work/t/ubuntu-20-04-4-lts-on-the-fra... Even the fingerprint reader apparently works out of the box !

"Dear Nia" from exurb1a on YouTube tells a similar story

While I don't doubt the goal is cloud, it's not the only use.

As a student, I have a desktop at one of my parents' house that I can control over ssh, this kind of features make remote development much easier and is often needed when I run an intensive task for hours. The experience with VSCode over ssh is really great. Some have pointed out local VMs, which is another use for this.
